There are big changes brewing in Gotham, but if Batman (Will Arnett) wants to save the city from the Joker's (Zach Galifianakis) hostile takeover, he may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up. Maybe his superhero sidekick Robin (Michael Cera) and loyal butler Alfred (Ralph Fiennes) can show him a thing or two.

Critics Consensus

The Lego Batman Movie continues its block-buster franchise's winning streak with another round of dizzyingly funny -- and beautifully animated -- family-friendly mayhem.

Michael Sragow

Film Comment Magazine

The Lego Batman Movie mostly proves that this franchise has already descended into a disappointing formula. These movies flash a subversive hook, then straighten it out as they streak along.

The result is an ideal movie for the school holidays, one that children of all ages will rock along with (Batman fancies his own singing) and adults will laugh at.

Rated: 3.5/5

Emotion can reside in the unlikeliest packages. But there's not a lot of it on show here. The animation, however, is terrific and fans of the original should love it.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Twirling with dazzling animation and saturated with endless character possibilities, these two hours of zippy entertainment offer exhilarating playful engagement for young audiences and many absolute belly laughs for the adults.

Keith & the Movies

The onslaught of gags can be relentless, sometimes to the point of making them impossible to follow. It’s a shame because the movie has some big laughs (and I do mean BIG).

The movie was very intense. It was an all or nothing adventure with “no going back” and “no plan B”. Batman’s lonely and reclusive life really hit home in this one.

Despite it trying to be humourous ans serious as well and it did do that job fine. I found the movie to be a disrespect to Batman. I found the movie to be making him super sad for no reason. While there has been sad versions of Batman like The Batman this version was way too sad and too campy. Though not as terrible as Batman and Robin.

Amazing movie as the comedy is delivered flawlessly. I believe Will Arnett was made for this role in an animated setting. I really hope there will be another one.

Everybody's guilty pleasure Batman adaptation. I felt very glad to see many parts of the Batman universe altogether with the perfect designs. Another thing to see was that the whole DC Universe is there too (like Superman & the justice league). Another thing to see was Will Arnett reprised his role & others like Channing Tatum as Superman (all from "The LEGO Movie" OG). At first, I found Batman to be real funny with his dark feelings & lifestyle before he understood true family when being met with Dick Grayson, he wanted a true parent & loved Batman & also came Barbara Gordon. Also, when I first watched, it was like a rare Sideshow Bob episode of the Simpsons, where you & your villainous enemies must be together to save the day (which used to feel off to me) but then, I realised... Sometimes, Batman does not have to be serious & makes everybody Heroes to keep Gotham from falling apart. Batman did not have to be dark/brutal this time. The best part was when Batman & Joker lovingly said to each other "I hate you".
