Synopsis:

The brilliant, hyper-obsessive-compulsive, super-computer Brainiac is combing the universe for new additions to his collection of worlds when he stumbles upon a ripe planet for his taking – Earth. But Brainiac quickly discovers Earth has a “firewall” – the Justice League. When Brainiac cleverly displaces several members of the Justice League to other time periods in Earth’s history, Batman, Flash and Cyborg must build and use the Cosmic Treadmill to race across time to retrieve their comrades – while members of the Legion of Super Heroes attempt to hold off Brainiac’s assault. Only time will tell in this battle for the fate of the Earth and the Justice League!

Everyone’s favorite DC heroes are back in Lego form for another hilarious and exciting adventure as the Justice League discovers that the super computer entity known as Brainiac intends to shrink down Earth and bottle it in order to add it to his already notable collection of planets. Refusing to let their world go down without a fight, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Green Lantern, The Flash and a couple other heroes send Brainiac packing before he can add Earth to his collection. Unfortunately he returns with a vengeance and prior to his second attempt on the world zaps various members of the team into random places in time in order to remove their interference. Now the remaining League members must hold off Brainiac’s forces while Batman and Flash journey through time in a desperate attempt to save their friends and subsequently their planet.
