As the title says for The Lego Batman Movie it's a good movie and a good Batman movie but it's not great, amazing or spectacular, it's just above average in my book but that's just me anyway. I liked the story of Batman being a loner who feels like he doesnt need to count on anyone but himself, he's afraid to feel anything other than anger or vengeance but deep down he's lonely and wants friends and a new family so to speak
It sort of asks the question of does Gotham really need Batman. Has his influence really made an impact on the city? Who is Batman personally when he's not fighting bad guys? And then over the course of the movie you see Batman is needed and he overcomes his fears of losing another family or anyone he ever cared about. Really surprised me that they went with this for a lego movie which is mostly garnered towards kids. Dont get me wrong I loved the original Lego movie and still do. But even that story wasnt too deep or was a character study
There's a lot of really neat Easter eggs for all Batman fans if you seen the Burton, Nolan and West movies and series, loved the multiverse villains that included Voldemort and Sauron aiding Joker. As for Joker in this movie? Meh not great but not terrible either, just somewhere in the middle.
