It’s up to the Dark Knight to stop this gruesome gang before they unleash “digital laughter,” a computer virus that’s part of a diabolical plan to jeopardize all of Gotham City’s vital technology. Batman, Green Arrow, Cyborg, Nightwing and Red Robin must combine forces to battle these baddies and save the city.

It’s up to the Caped Crusader and his Super Hero team to save the day by putting the giant robot mechs in their place—but it will be an uphill battle as they face off against enormous foes.^[3]
