#WHO PLAYED AS BATTMAN ON THE LEGO MOVIE MOVIE#

What’s your favorite LEGO movie? Make your voice heard in the poll below.The Lego Batman Movie opens with the Joker (voice of Zach Galifianakis) hijacking a cargo plane full of explosives flying over Gotham City. Before The LEGO Movie, I really wouldn’t have believed that you could make a compelling narrative out of what are essentially building blocks, but by giving it heart, and lovable, endearing characters like Emmet and Wyldstyle, and great, great dialogue, it all just comes together in a way that could never be duplicated, no matter how hard they tried. Yes, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller just got it completely right with that first film.

It truly was one of a kind and original when it first came out, and it still feels that way today. Compare this to the second movie, which retreads the meta-narrative and feels somewhat forced, and you can tell why so many people fell in love with the first movie. In fact, after watching it again just recently, that little twist toward the end with the real world still works extremely well, and do you know why? Because it actually feels organic to the story. What is it about The LEGO Movie that just works? Is it the characters? Yep. That said, I still don’t think it’s the best. Plus, it’s just really funny and might even be the sharpest and funniest of all the LEGO movies. It’s self-referential, just like The Lego Movie, but in a way that almost rewards longtime fans of Batman. What makes this movie so good, is that while, yes, it is super zany (I especially like The Phantom Zone stuff where we get everything from Sauron to Gremlins spilling out of it), it’s also a really great Batman movie, in general, with one of the best Jokers ever in Zach Galifianakis. But by lovingly parodying not only Batman, but also comic books and entertainment in general, it makes The LEGO Batman Movie a LEGO film for the ages. Batman, voiced by Will Arnett, was just a small, but memorable part in the first LEGO Movie, so a lot could have gone wrong with giving him his own film. The LEGO Batman Movie also came out in 2017, just like The LEGO Ninjago Movie, and the differences in quality are so vast, it’s almost staggering. I just don’t love it as much as the first film. In the end, I love The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. But it’s a more is less situation with this movie. This movie is also a bit overstuffed with characters- though I do appreciate Jason Momoa voicing Aquaman, which technically makes The LEGO Movie 2 canon with the Snyderverse. The storyline still feels fresh with the whole “Systar System,” but it seems like a lot of the jokes worked better in the first film.

The second film would be higher on this list if the first movie didn’t exist. As a father with two young kids who fight all the time, I find this plotline very relatable. The LEGO narrative just accompanies their sibling strife. The second film has a lot more Duplo in it, which was teased at the end of the first movie, since it has a meta story in-between like in the original film, but this time, it’s dealing with the brother and the sister arguing all the time. Is The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part as good as the first LEGO Movie? Well, obviously not since it’s lower on this list, but I definitely think it deserved to do better than it did at the box office.
