The first spinoff to 2014s The Lego Movie, The Lego Batman Movie is a Deadpool like take of the Batman mythos. It references and makes fun of the many things that are related to Batman since his introduction back in 1939 and points out the many crazy, weird, and silly ideas and moments from the past such as the silly 1960s villains or that Robin's suit is too colorful compared to Batman's.Will Arnett voices the Lego version of the Dark Knight and Zach Galifianakis voices the Joker who wants Batman to admit he is his greatest enemy. The film isn't just about Batman references as there are a whole slew of references to other franchises, that the best way to describe it is a nerd's wet dream. At one point Joker teams up with Sauron, Daleks, King Kong, the Wicked Witch of the West, Gremlins, and many other villains from other franchises. One negative thing about this film is that there are some few moments that can feel to childish for older audiences and can drag sometimes. Also a lot of the time the same conversations are often repeated throughout the film which can be annoying. But even with that, Lego Batman is a fun, amazing film that revels in the Dark Knight's best and worst moments. Over all: 98%
