The Lego Batman Movie (2017)

A Lego scientist (PhD.) demonstrates with a mini model what would happen to Lego Gotham if the Joker’s plan succeeds.

Lego Reporter: Doctor, that sounds frightening and overly complicated. Talk us through it.
Lego Scientist: Well, I don’t wanna scare any small children who may be listening, but it’s a little-known fact that Gotham City is built on a bunch of flimsy plates stuck together. There’s literally nothing beneath us, except an infinite abyss that smells like dirty underwear. If Joker’s bomb were to go off, these plates would break apart, plunging every Gotham citizen into the eternal abyss forever.
