Batman and Superman arrive at LexCorp and stumble upon a giant Joker-Esque robot piloted by Lex Luthor and the Joker. The villains use the robot's kryptonite weapon to subdue Superman and crush Batman with a large crate. The film then flashes back to two days prior, in Gotham City, where an award show attended by the city's finest is being held. Luthor ends up losing the "Man of the Year" award to Bruce Wayne, but the ceremony is interrupted by a band of villains led by the Joker, who rob the audience while the Joker steals the award; in the process, the Joker presents a film about himself, which includes a showcase of his laughing gas that can briefly make people adore him. Sneaking out, Bruce dons the Batsuit and, alongside Robin, defeats Harley Quinn, the Riddler, Two-Face, the Penguin, and Catwoman. The Joker attempts to escape via motorboat but is ultimately defeated at a nearby carnival. The villains are imprisoned at Arkham Asylum, while Superman arrives to congratulate Batman and Robin, much to the former's frustration.
