LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Guide: Complete Joker Interrogation Walkthrough
Every Dialogue Choice, Cinematic Easter Egg, and Outcome Explained
Quick Answer: Don’t stress over which dialogue options to pick during the Chapter 5 interrogation. The branching choices are entirely an illusion. Every path leads to the same outcome, you cannot fail the mission, and there are no hidden achievements tied to your answers. Just pick the funniest options and enjoy the cinematic spoof!
The Illusion of Choice in Arkham Asylum
Smack in the middle of Chapter 5, the A Serious House mission throws you and Talia into a grim, dimly lit holding cell with the Clown Prince of Crime. Your objective sounds intense. You need to break the Joker and extract vital intel about Bane and the League of Shadows.
The game heavily implies that your choices matter by suddenly dropping a complex dialogue tree on your screen. The whole setup perfectly mimics the legendary interrogation scene from the 2008 blockbuster The Dark Knight. Before you start sweating over picking the wrong option and ruining your playthrough, let me save you some time. None of this matters.
You are completely locked into a linear narrative here. The dialogue wheel exists purely as a vehicle for the developers to throw pop culture jokes at you. You cannot fail, and there are no secret endings to uncover.

Every Interrogation Outcome Revealed
Because the game forces you forward once the sequence ends, you would normally have to restart the entire level multiple times just to hear every joke. I went ahead and documented every single response so you don’t have to.
Here is exactly what happens when you select each dialogue prompt:
| Your Tactic | What Happens | The Joker’s Reaction |
| Good Cop | Batman politely calls the Joker his old buddy. | Appreciates the good manners but flat out denies knowing the League of Shadows. |
| Bat Cop | Batman communicates using actual, literal bat chirps. | Utterly baffled. Still claims he has no clue what the League of Shadows is. |
| Show Evidence | Talia slides a photograph of Bane across the table. | Brushes the photo off and mentions he thought the big guy’s name was Dane. |
| Bane’s Boss? | Talia demands to know who is pulling the strings. | Deflects the accusation and insists that he definitely is not the guy in charge. |
| Bane’s Plan? | Talia pushes to uncover the overarching master plan. | Denies any involvement and claims he operates strictly as a lone wolf. |
| Intimidate | Talia threatens to expose his 2016 Suicide Squad tattoos. | Completely terrified. Sweats heavily and admits Bane gives fantastic hugs. |
| Cheesy | Batman delivers an atrocious, Adam West era pun. | Groans in pain over the terrible joke and complains you are wasting his time. |
| Dark | Batman breaks out a ridiculously gruff Ben Affleck impression. | Shrinks back from the table and tells Batman the vibe is way too bleak. |
| Nutty | Batman quotes Michael Keaton and spins his head 360 degrees. | Laughs at the throwback performance but claims to have a nut allergy. |
The Best Cinematic Easter Eggs
The real highlight of A Serious House triggers during the third phase of the questioning. Batman steps back up to the plate, and the game gives you three highly specific dialogue options that beautifully roast past live-action adaptations of the character.
Channeling the Camp of ’66
Picking the Cheesy prompt instantly transports you back to the brightly colored era of Adam West. Batman threatens to deliver a punchline that the clown won’t find funny. The delivery is incredibly campy, causing the Joker to literally yell out in physical pain. He quickly begs you to stop wasting his time with bad material.
The Dawn of Justice Edge
If you select the Dark option, your plastic hero channels Ben Affleck’s aggressive energy from 2016. Batman drops his vocal register into an absurdly deep gravel to demand a concession. It is so overly aggressive that the Joker physically cowers at the edge of the table, noting that the whole aesthetic is just a bit too dark.
The 1989 Keaton Spin
For pure unhinged comedy, the Nutty option is flawless. Batman screams his iconic 1989 line about getting nuts. To really sell the bit, his plastic minifigure head physically spins completely around on its neck peg. The Joker appreciates the classic throwback but regretfully informs you that he has a severe nut allergy.
Talia’s Ultimate Burn
Batman has great movie quotes, but Talia delivers the most devastating blow of the entire scene. If you choose her Intimidate prompt, she completely abandons physical threats in favor of pure psychological warfare.
She threatens to walk out into Arkham Asylum and show every single inmate the Joker’s heavily tattooed design from the 2016 Suicide Squad movie. The threat of Jared Leto’s “Damaged” forehead tattoo is too much to bear. The clown breaks out in a nervous sweat and instantly cracks, confessing that the only thing he actually knows about Bane is that the massive brute gives incredible hugs.
Once you click through enough prompts, the scene breaks down into a ridiculous button mashing mini game where you just scream at each other. No matter how hard you mash, the outcome remains identical. You walk out of the cell with zero usable intelligence, but traumatizing him with bad fashion history is a pretty solid consolation prize.
