Background[]
The Eye of Sauron was a symbol adopted by the Dark Lord during the Second Age and the Third Age. It was said that few could endure the eye's terrible gaze. It rests atop the tower of Barad-Dûr. The Eye was used on armor and banners of Mordor as a symbol of how Sauron "sees all" and was Sauron's official insignia.
The LEGO Batman Movie[]
During the film, after The Joker had been emotionally hurt by Batman's insistence that he was not his archenemy, he is seen depressedly watching a news report of Superman, who had recently banished General Zod to the phantom zone, which contains some of the evilest villains in pop culture, chief among them were bad guys like Sauron, Voldemort, Wicked Witch, Daleks, Agent Smith. It is here when Joker concocts his greatest plan: to free the villains from the phantom zone and conquer Gotham. When Joker is sent to the phantom zone, he is greeted by the various villains. Sauron is the first to greet him by commenting he is the new guy, all the other villains' first impression is to kill him, but Joker quickly states that he plans to set them all free if they help him to destroy Batman and rule Gotham city. Sauron, along with all the others, accepts the offer and asks if the Joker wants the rivers of Gotham city to run red with his blood, but Joker says he doesn't want to get that far and Sauron quickly suggest lava instead to which Joker gleefully agrees. Sauron is one of the first to be released by Harley Quinn, and the first thing he does is flood Gotham with lava. During the invasion, Joker asks Sauron where the Batcave is and Sauron discovers it to be beneath Wayne manor, but Joker fails to see that Bruce Wayne and Batman are one and the same. Regardless, the villains attack the Batcave and Sauron acts as the surveillance for the villains. He soon spots Batman and the bat family in Arkham Asylum and orders the minions to capture them. The heroes decide that they cannot get to Wayne Manor to stop the Joker with Sauron watching them, and so they make a plan to take Sauron out. Using their master building skills, they create the batwing and manage to get the attention of The Kraken, who fires an energy blast at the batwing but he misses and hits Sauron instead, making him the only villain to die in the film. The other villains are horrified by this and the Joker cries out "SAURON!!!!" in anguish as he mourns his dead friend, while The Kraken, who is equally shocked by what he did, quietly slips away stating "nothing to see here."
The Dimensional Crisis[]
Painting the Town Black[]
The eye is summoned alongside Barad-Dûr by Sauron with the power of the locate keystone that had fallen in Metropolis, and it falls from a rift on top of Lexcorp. It is used as Sauron's main base of operations during the level as he is invading Metropolis with his army of orcs, while also using the eye itself and technology from Lexcorp to enslave the citizens. It is also later the setting for the battle with Batman, Gandalf and Wyldstyle against Sauron, who also uses the locate keystone, and with Sauron's defeat the eye disappeared.
