Meet Madame Mantis (voiced by Amy Hill) in LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes - Justice League: Gotham City Breakout. An original character developed by the team behind the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes line of direct-to-home full-length animated features, Madame Mantis is Batman's secret sensei. In this universe, she trained Batman into the stealthy warrior he is today - but she also trained the mighty villain Deathstroke. In this exclusive clip from WB Animation and WB Home Entertainment, Madame Mantis meets two of Batman's own trainees, and treats them to a cup or 30 of tea.

Official description of the film reads, "When Batgirl and Nightwing take Batman on a trip down memory lane – literally – to visit one of the key mentors from his formative years, it's up to the Justice League to keep Gotham City crime-free. But neither situation proves to be a "vacation" as the Bat trio encounters old nemeses on their adventure, and the Justice League discovers just how busy Batman is on a regular basis. It's a brick-tastic battle on two fronts as Batman, Batgirl and Nightwing take on Bane and Deathstroke, while the Justice League – with some help from a few Teen Titans – fends off an assault by many of Batman's infamous adversaries to ensure Gotham City's safety."

The film stars Sarah Hyland as Batgirl, with many returnees - either to DC Comics based animation or the LEGO universe specifically, including: Troy Baker (Batman), Nolan North (Superman), Grey Griffin (Wonder Woman) and Khary Payton (Cyborg). Eric Bauza (Bane), John DiMaggio (Deathstroke), Tom Kenny (Penguin), Jason Spisak (Joker), Tara Strong (Harley Quinn) and Vanessa Marshall (Poison Ivy), plus the Teen Titans joining the fun with Will Friedle (Nightwing), Greg Cipes (Beast Boy), Scott Menville (Robin) and Hynden Walch (Starfire) reprising their roles.
