If you liked The LEGO Movie, you’re going to love The LEGO Batman Movie. Will Arnett delivers a hilarious performance as a broody, moody Batman who finds himself desperately alone. But when the Joker and a gang of villains threaten Gotham, Batman must finally make some allies – and hopefully, some friends. The 2017 film feels timeless despite its dramatized and silly depictions of these DC characters that we know so well. But it’s a refreshing take on a superhero who has always taken himself a bit too seriously.  The LEGO Batman Movie also stars Michael Cera, Zach Galifinakis, Rosario Dawson, Billy Dee Williams, and more.
