A new poster has debuted yesterday. I'm glad that it's officially confirmed that Barbara Gordon will wear the classic Batgirl suit.

An IMAX poster of the Dynamic Trio was released last month.

Is that the Mutant Leader from The Dark Knight Returns in the background?

That alone might make me change my mind about this movie.

Beyond The Trailer's Grace Randolph thought the movie had an excellent first half, went full "Indiana Jones 4" for the second, and that Barbera is the worst thing about the movie.

Having seen the movie, I enjoyed it tremendously.

Leaps and bounds better than that rubbish Lego movie.

They're pretty ballsy to address the gay undertone of Batman/Joker relationship though... I seriously thought they're gonna kiss at the end lmao!

Barbara is great too as the Commissioner, replacing her father. I was waiting for her to be Batgirl and bam! There she is. The dynamic trio is on the big screen once again.

A great balance of style, comedy, action, drama and charm. A 4.5/5 for me.

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 02-05-2017, 11:50 AM

So I'm reading over the cast list...

Ralph Fiennes as Alfred Pennyworth

Eddie Izzard as Lord Voldemort

Huh? Why not have Fiennes cameo as Voldermort? Bit of a missed opportunity there.

*Shark_Blade* · 02-05-2017, 12:13 PM

Cause Alfred has more lines in the movie.

Tbh Voldemort just chant spells in the movie. He might as well not be in the movie and it'll make no difference.

No **** Sherlock. I'm just wondering why they didn't just ask Fiennes to say a few lines in his Voldemort voice while they were at it.
Maybe Voldy was a late addition, and schedules didn't line up or something.

Lego Batman is at 91% rotten Tomatoes Certified Fresh score. Critics love it Batman fans love it. Man I wish Warner Bros gave as much of a **** with the DCEU as they did with Lego Batman.

Saw the movie earlier tonight. Great movie. Hilarious the whole way through, and the plot of

was a nice turn on the expected. Beautifully animated too.

*ZariusTwo* · 02-10-2017, 12:12 PM

Just saw it.

Spoiler:

Not a bad afternoon spent, but there's a lot of missed oppertunities also. I think they blew all the best jokes in the trailers.

Okay movie. The plot was beat for beat predictable and didn't have a whole lot to distract me from that fact. A lot of jokes fell flat like Joker's Buttmobile line or Batman's opening narration that point out cliches but doesn't make fun of them. Couple jokes were pretty good like all the stuff about Robin's costume and Orca's "I'M WHALE! but like Zarius said - all the best jokes are in the trailer" Animation was really good thou and I like Ralph Finnes's Alfred being more proactive and involved than Michael Caine's melodramatic moral supporter or Jeremy Irons' eternal snarker.

What the hell was up with Billy Dee William's two lines as Two-Face?

*CyberCubed* · 02-10-2017, 07:22 PM

This movie has a 98% on rotten tomatoes. It can't really be that amazing, can it? I get the feeling this is very overrated.

Don't use the percentage score on RT to judge a movie, read the actual reviews. Those numbers only tally if a critic likes or doesn't like a movie, not how much they like a movie. A review that says a movie is just okay could count towards a fresh score and a film could be almost universally considered good-not-great and it could get a score somewhere from 75% to 95%

*NinjaPug* · 02-10-2017, 07:32 PM

I thought Disney paid critics to give DC movies "rotten" reviews.

*Raph's Girl* · 02-10-2017, 07:44 PM

I thought the movie was pretty good and funny.

*sdp* · 02-10-2017, 09:15 PM

I don't think anyone actually thinks Marvel pays reviewers but I do strongly believe there's an anti-DC bias against their films. DC is indeed a mess but reviewers don't even give them a chance while Marvel's flaws are overlooked, that's what the bias is about and the unfairness of reviews. This can be seen as reviewers trying to be "SEE THAT'S HOW YOU SHOULD DO IT". Ever since "geek culture" became mainstream it's been poisonous.

This movie looks fun but haven't really ever been into Legos or their games but I guess I'll check it out eventually. I see on Netflix there's tons of Batman Lego "movies", are those any good? I'm guessing they're cheap DTV's so I don't know if they'll be good or a waste of time.

*RaphaelinSTL* · 02-10-2017, 10:15 PM

This was easily the best and most entertaining Batman movie since 2008.

Spoiler: I love that Bruce treats romance movies like they're comedies, I wish there had been more emphasis on the Superfriends, they just vanish after Bruce and Dick makes off with the Phantom Zone projector. I know there's something about vigilantes being off-limits in Gotham, but was that an in-story excuse to keep them out of Batman's buisness or something? Also glad Bruce and Babs did'nt become an item, they reined themselves in and made the romance one-sided, and Bruce resigns himself to the fact it's just platonic. Babs is actually pretty close to Dick in the movie, they're even holding hands at around the scene they're sent away by Bruce...which would be fine for a Dick/Babs fan were it not for the age gap. Brief snippets of a Rickroll and WHAM (hey, it worked for Deadpool), too bad "Died In Your Arms Tonight" was a part of the trailers. No sign of "Built this City on Rock and Roll" alas, which would have worked perfectly for when they glued the city together at the end. Joker got the most attention, which annoyed me...I thought they'd have more range with the Bat-Villains, especially when they made such a big deal out of Billy Dee Williams voicing Two-Face again...he barely fricking speaks! One line or two, that's it. Not a bad afternoon spent, but there's a lot of missed oppertunities also. I think they blew all the best jokes in the trailers. __________________ Spider-Man: The Rescue Spider-Man: The Galloping Cat Spider-Man: Scarlet Mirror Doctor Who: Child of the Daleks

Spoiler: It was weird tho with all those universal monsters and stuff in it...and the Daleks! When I first heard "Exterminate" I was like "No way!" and then "And British robots! Ask a nerd..." All the monsters speaking, even the Velociraptors from Jurassic Park and Jaws was also weird. So did Superman round them all up and put em in the Phantom Zone?? Voldemort was defeated by Superman instead of Harry? Then again Catwoman basically defeated him by stealing his wand... __________________
