Review by Aaron Haughton

The LEGO Batman Movie provides a fresh and satirical take on the Caped Crusader, who is commonly depicted as a dark and brooding loner. The film takes aim at the hero's dark past as the reason he's afraid to let other people into his life (except for Alfred, of course), and also examines his twisted relationship with Gotham's many villains and how either would be nothing without their opposite counterpart. It's a bit deeper than you'd expect a kid's move to be, and the result is a good time for the whole dang family.

Will Arnett reprises his role as Batman/Bruce Wayne from 2014's The LEGO Movie as he deals with the usual suspects who reign terror and attempt to rule Gotham City. Namely, the Joker (voiced by Zach Galifianakis), who has cooked up a plot to get revenge on the bat for denying the undeniable connection in their relationship. One night at a socialite function, Bruce absentmindedly adopts the teenage orphan Dick Grayson (Michael Cera) who aspires to become his sidekick. This time around if Batman's to save the city of Gotham, he'll have to do so with a little help from his friends.
