NewsYahoo MoviesHow 'The Lego Batman Movie' Revives an Old Bat-Controversy
This weekend’s box-office champion, The Lego Batman Movie, is rife with allusions and callbacks to the Dark Knight’s rich cinematic history from the Caped Crusader’s days as a ‘40s serial star up to last year’s face-off with the Man of Steel, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Early on in Lego Batman, Gotham City’s champion (voiced by Will Arnett) inadvertently adopts a ward, young orphan Dick Grayson (Michael Cera). A brooding loner by nature, Batman willfully ignores the kid much to the consternation of his butler companion, Alfred (Ralph Fiennes), who takes it upon himself to push the soon-to-be Dynamic Duo together by granting Dick access to the Batcave.

NewsYahoo MoviesHoly Easter Eggs! How 'The Lego Batman Movie' Celebrates the Caped Crusader's Big-Screen History
One triumph of The Lego Batman Movie is its ability to simultaneously satirize and celebrate the legacy of the Dark Knight, a rich history spanning eight decades of comic books, TV shows, and, especially, films. From Will Arnett’s Christian Bale-inspired gravelly growl to callbacks to the 1940s serial, The Lego Batman Movie is overstuffed with cinematic references and inside jokes. The pilot immediately calls out the Joker, pointing out how his previous big-screen endeavors were thwarted by the Caped Crusaders, alluding to both 2008’s The Dark Knight and 1989’s Batman.

NewsYahoo MoviesYes, There Is a Condiment King: A Field Guide to the Oddball Characters of 'The Lego Batman Movie'
Part parody, part paean, The Lego Batman Movie lovingly plumbs the depths of the Dark Knight’s rogues gallery to reward long-time Bat lovers — and perhaps confound casual fans. The Clown Prince of Crime has recruited a who’s-who of fellow felons, among them such major big-screen miscreants as Riddler, Catwoman, Penguin, Bane, Two-Face, Scarecrow, Mr. Freeze, and Poison Ivy, as well as Suicide Squaddies like Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, and Captain Boomerang. Yes, Condiment King is real.
NewsSuperfan MoviesWill Arnett Talks About That ‘Lego Batman’ Voice of His
Will Arnett is known for, among other things, his trademark low voice. He’s used it to great comedic effect in television shows like Arrested Development and BoJack Horseman, so it was only natural to have him take on the role of Batman in the 2014 smash hit The Lego Movie.

NewsVarietyFilm Review: 'The Lego Batman Movie' Is Super-Fun Superhero Satire
The plastic universe of Lego once again becomes a stylized satire of the real world in a witty and bedazzling animated superhero caper that dares to mock its own hero’s raging ego. The first thing to say about The Lego Batman Movie is that it’s kicky, bedazzling, and super-fun. The second thing to say about it is that, like The Lego Movie (2014), it’s a kiddie flick that’s been made in a sophisticated spirit of lightning-fast, brain-bursting paradox.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has only just hit theaters — in the process breaking box-office records, disappointing critics, and eliciting contentious online debate.
