After the excellent Lego Movie, one character stood out more than the others: Will Arnett’s gravel voiced ultra-serious Batman. Thankfully providing an antidote to the po-faced like of Batman v Superman, this block based outing for the caped crusader should deliver plenty of bat laughs. Not only giving us a glimpse into the mundanity of Batman’s life when he’s not being a vigilante, it also has him adopting Michael Cera’ Robin, and dealing with Zach Galifianakis’ Joker. Having to learn that you can’t be alone all the time is the learning curve here…along with lots of jokes. Ralph Fiennes does deadpan as Alfred, Batman’s faithful servant, whilst a ghost of star cameos from the Riddler to Harley Quinn to…err… Condiment Man expand the Lego DC universe. This will undoubtedly be more fun than Justice League and Suicide Squad.
