InGotham City,Batman is fightingMan-Bat at the museum when he is then ambushed byPenguin.Superman arrives inGotham City where he wants Batman to join his new superhero team called theJustice League, but Batman prides himself on working alone. To Batman's annoyance, Superman aids him in fighting Man-Bat, Penguin, and Penguin's Robo-Penguins, even whenJoker joins the fight. After he defeats Penguin, Man-Bat, and Joker, Superman flies out, but he then disappears along with the villains and the gem.
Batman calls in theFlash to help with his search for Superman. The Flash travels around the world with Batman following in theBatwing until they findCaptain Cold trying to steal an obelisk inEgypt. Flash and Batman fight him, but Flash disappears mid fight while Batman is frozen solid without his utility belt. Batman thaws and defeats Cold, but he and the obelisk disappear. Upon finding Atlantean symbols on the obelisk before its disappearance, Batman decides to make another call.
Batman then asksAquaman for help in the Batboat as they search under the ocean. They findBlack Manta and his robot sharks trying to steal the Trident ofPoseidon. Batman once again wins the fight, but Aquaman, Black Manta, and the trident all disappear.
Batman then goes toMetropolis whereWonder Woman andCyborg are fightingLex Luthor who is trying to steal theDaily Planet Globe for an anonymous buyer. Once again, the Justice League members disappear, Batman defeats Luthor, but he and the globe disappear.
Batman deduces who is behind it, and travels to the Justice League headquarters at theHall of Justice, the last place he wanted to go. Once there, he identifiesBat-Mite as the culprit as Bat-Mite emerges from the shadows. Bat-Mite has prepared a trap for the Justice League including all of the stolen items. Batman refuses to save them just so Bat-Mite can see him in action, but while he lectures Bat-Mite, he hints that since the cage is immune to their powers due to Bat-Mite’s magic, they should escape in a non-super way by opening the door. Batman realizes that Bat-Mite unintentionally showed him how childish he was being by insisting that he works alone, so he accepts the invitation to the Justice League. Bat-Mite summons the villains, but they are easily defeated by the combined might of the Justice League, so Bat-Mite decides that instead of cheering on only Batman, he should cheer on an entire team. Before disappearing, Bat-Mite makes the villains disappear.
The rest of the Justice League is pleased that Batman is on their team as Batman laughs with them.
