[[File:Gandalf, Batman, & Wyldstyle run through NYC.jpg|thumb|left|Batman [[Running|runs]] through [[New York City]] alongside [[Gandalf]] and [[Wyldstyle]]. ([[WC]]: {{cs|New Adventures Await! (webcast)}})]]
At one point, Batman [[walked]] through the [[Brick Boulevard]], shortly before the [[Twelfth Doctor]], [[Peter Venkman]], and [[Doc Brown]] crashed [[The Doctor's TARDIS|the TARDIS]], [[Ecto-1]], and the [[DeLorean]] into each other. ([[WC]]: {{cs|Doctor, Doctor, Doctor (webcast)}})
 
After travelling through [[the Vortex]] with [[Gandalf]] and [[Wyldstyle]], the trio landed on the streets of [[New York City]], where [[Slimer (LEGO Dimensions)|Slimer]] flew past. The [[Ghostbusters]] quickly began attempting to capture the ghost, before it broke free, with [[Harry Potter (character)|Harry Potter]] having to help.

Reuniting with Gandalf and Wyldstyle, he then found himself in the [[Land of Ooo]], before [[Finn the Human|Finn]] and [[Jake the Dog|Jake]] appeared, proclaiming "It's [[battle]] time!".

According to [[Maxwell Collins]], Batman was "the world's greatest [[detective]]", and despite having no powers, he could beat "anyone".

Batman wielded "a batarang" [sic], and fought what the Doctor referred to as "an idiot in clown make-up". Batman had a "cool car", protected [[Gotham City]], and avenged his deceased parents. Maxwell thought that Batman would win in a fight between Batman and Captain America, while the Doctor favoured Captain America. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Moving In (comic story)|Moving In]]'')
