Bruce Wayne (The Lego Movie)

Batman (real name Bruce Wayne) is an egotistical, aggressive, and noble superhero and businessman. Primarily operating out of Gotham City, he uses his skills as a crimefighter and Master Builder alongside the Master Builders and the Bat-Family to protect both his city and the wider universe from threats such as Lord Business, the Joker, and Rex Dangervest.

Origins

At a very young age, Bruce Wayne's parents were killed right in front of him by a criminal. This event left him with heavy emotional baggage and a personal mission to rid Gotham City of crime as the superhero Batman.[1]

Saving the Special

Many years later, in The Old West, a villain named Bad Cop was in pursuit of Batman's fellow Master Builders, Wyldstyle and Vitruvius, and a man named Emmet Brickowski, who had recently acquired the Piece of Resistance, which is what Bad Cop was after. He wanted to acquired the Piece of Resistance so the Master Builders couldn't stop his boss, Lord Business', plans of world destruction, as a prophecy stated that the Piece of Resistance and its wielder, the Special, would defeat him someday.

While Emmet and company were able to initially able to evade Bad Cop, he was able to catch up to them and destroy the tracks their train was riding on causing Emmet and friends to start falling to the canyon below. While everything seemed lost, Batman rescued them in his Batwing just in the nick of time. After they were safe inside the Batwing, Wyldstyle revealed to Emmet that her boyfriend was Batman, much to his dismay. After this reveal, Batman would jump on to Bad Cop's flying car and use his Master Builder skills to turn it into a baby carriage causing it and Bad Cop to tumble to the canyon below. Following Batman's return to the Batwing, he, the other Master Builders, and Emmet headed off to Cloud Cuckoo Land, as Vitruvius had called a Master Builder meeting there.[2]

Master Builders' Meeting

After travelling through Middle Zealand, Batman and his allies were able to make it to Cloud Cuckoo Land and met its ruler, Princess Unikitty. After seeing how joyful and colorful the land was, Batman concluded that he despised it. Despite this, Batman continued onward to the Dog, where the Master Builder meeting was being held. After Emmet failed to rally the Master Builders at the meeting due to his lack of experience, Cloud Cuckoo Land was attacked by Bad Cop and his Super Secret Police. While Cloud Cuckoo Land is supposed to be a secret, Bad Cop was able to find it by following a tracking stud he placed on Emmet.[2]

Escape from Cloud Cuckoo Land

Many of the Master Builders were captured during the attack but Batman, alongside Emmet, Wyldstyle, Vitruvius, Unikitty, and a 1980s blue spaceman named Benny, were able to escape into the oceans under Cloud Cuckoo Land using a submarine they assembled themselves. While the submarine worked initially, it soon began to break apart due to its builders conflicting visions for its design. The submarine eventually exploded, leading Bad Cop to believe that everyone who was on it died, this wasn't the case however as they were all able to survive on a double-decker couch created by Emmet. While they were aimlessly drifting at sea aboard the double-decker couch, Metalbeard, a fellow Master Builder, came across them while he was aboard his ship and decided to save them. Metalbeard had previously left the Master Builders' Meeting early due to his disgust with Emmet's lack of experience but he decided to turn back around and save him after he saw Bad Cop overlook the double-decker couch. After a rousing speech from Emmet aboard Metalbeard's ship, he and the other remaining Master Builders gained renewed confidence in their ability to stop Lord Business and began planning their infiltration of the Octane Tower.[2]

Infiltration of the Octane Tower

In order to sneak into the Octane Tower the Master Builders needed to build an Octane Spaceship but they initially hit a roadblock after Batman discovered the fact that they needed a hyperdrive which they lacked. This problem was quickly solved however after Batman stole the hyperdrive from the Millennium Falcon which so happened to be passing by Metalbeard's ship. Now with the hyperdrive acquired and the spaceship built Batman and his allies were able to begin infiltrating the Octane Tower.

Upon arriving to the Tower's front gate, Batman used his Batarangs to take out the security guard and to press the button that opened the gate. After getting inside, Batman, as Bruce Wayne, and Unikitty interrupt a meeting Lord Business is having and coax him into adding a speaker system to his world destroying weapon, the Takos. This is so Emmet and Wyldstyle, who disguised themselves as construction workers, can move the pieces needed to build the speaker system into the room housing the Takos and its power source, the Kragle. After Lord Business left the meeting room, Batman went to go help Emmet and Wyldstyle put the Piece of Resistance on the Kragle leaving Unikitty to stall for him.[2]

Capture by Lord Business

While Emmet was almost able to put the Piece of Resistance on the Kragle with the help of Batman, Bad Cop sadly caught them and proceeded to capture Batman and all his allies. Bad Cop then brought them to the the Think Tank, the place where all the other Master Builders were being held. Lord Business then produced to decapitate Vitruvius with a nickel in front of his newly captured prisoners. Lord Business then had his robots take Batman and the others to their cells. After a pep talk from Ghost Vitruvius, Emmet proceeded to loosen his restraints and take himself and the battery powering the computer that we set to blow up the Think Tank, tumbling into the void below the tower. This act not only prevented the computer from self-destructing but also freed the other Master Builders from their cells.[2]

Battle of Bricksburg

After escaping the Octane Tower in a spaceship built by Benny, Batman and his allies head to Emmet's hometown of Bricksburg to fight off Lord Business' forces. With the help of the citizens of Bricksburg they were initially successful, Lord Business sent out more Micro-Managers leading Batman and company to become surrounded after they were thrown from Benny's spaceship by the Man Upstairs. Lucky for them, Emmet returned from the void with the Piece of Resistance and was able to destroy the Micro-Managers surrounding them with a mech he built. After being freed, Batman and the others helped Emmet take down the hoard of Micro-Managers. While the Micro-Managers began to corner them again, Emmet was able to convince Lord Business to shut down the Takos which also shut down the Micro-Managers. After the battle was won, Batman broke up with Wyldstyle as he noticed her clear interest in Emmet and thought they'd be better together.[2]
