The Lego Batman Movie (2017)

The Lego Batman Movie is a fast-paced, wildly funny animated adventure that sends the Dark Knight from his cameo in The LEGO Movie into a standalone caper full of action, jokes and heart. When Batman’s lone-wolf routine is upended by the accidental adoption of a plucky teenage orphan (Robin) and a Joker-powered scheme to unleash Gotham’s worst via the Phantom Zone, Batman must face the city’s greatest threat—and his own fear of getting close to others. Watching the film, you’ll get non-stop visual gags and toy-logic humor—build-and-collapse LEGO set pieces, clever meta jokes about superhero tropes, and rapid-fire one-liners—alongside blockbuster-style action sequences. Beneath the comedy and spectacle, the movie has a surprisingly warm emotional core about family, vulnerability and learning to work with others, anchored by big, cartoonish performances and a lively, colorful animation style. The result is a family-friendly ride that entertains kids with slapstick and high-energy heroics while giving adults wink-worthy references and satirical takes on the Batman mythos. Expect to laugh, root for an unexpectedly tender hero, and enjoy dazzling LEGO creativity from start to finish.
