Furthermore, her efforts to stir the pot between Batman and Joker highlight her spirited, naughty personality, enhancing the story with paradox and enjoyable.

Animation and Design

The Lego-themed world is visually enticing and effectively duplicates the comic variations of these characters. The innovative animations mix a number of elements from the Batman universe, from Gotham City to Batcave, including an unique flavor to the whole viewing experience.
