The LEGO Batman Movie

So she recommended a bunch of comic arcs, m- uh, anime- uh, episodes of animated series, animated movies, uh, doc-

I heard Lego Batman is pretty good.

I've...

Have I seen Lego Batman?

I heard the Lego Batman movie's pretty good.

I might have watched it, like, with a child in my life at some point.

And we, and as a podcast, we've talked about Harley Quinn before, which is, like, one of our favorite Batman media-

On top of that, Hollywood loves this track.

It has graced classic films like Never Been Kissed, Hot Rod, Hot Tub Time Machine, and The Lego Batman Movie.

And on television, it popped up everywhere from Cold Case and Ash vs.

Evil Dead to major needle drops in Lucifer, Euphoria, The Traitors, and I remember in Stranger Things.

movie at uh 29 percent at uh the the more recent tom and jerry which i'm i'm a outlier i actually liked that movie i didn't like love it but i thought it was i i gave i'm actually part of the 29 percent uh of that tom and jerry yeah i i liked it i enjoyed it so go figure but um all right but those are the lowest i actually i should have written down a true animated low point but i didn't um but uh but i do love lego movie and i love our giant

yeah you know the thing is with warner brothers i would put them a little bit lower because the thing is yes they've gotten a bunch where like they really do stand out as absolute greats in animation from the lego movie the iron giant uh and um i would even throw in the lego batman movie I would, like, hot take, but I love the Lego Batman movie more than the original Lego movie.

It's just, like, Lego movie is very solid, but the Lego Batman movie kind of has, like, that extra layer of being this comedic homage to the Batman legacy that, you know, that kind of makes it extra enjoyable as well.

And not to mention, like...

We're, you know, we're bringing back the Lego movie Batman, giving him his own movie.

Did you feel violated when Batman ended up in Legos? You know what?

I, as someone that, like, I like the Lego Batman movie.

I don't hold it as fondly as some of my friends do.

But as a, I mostly like that movie because you can tell that the people that animated it and wrote it are very clear comic book fans because every single frame has like a little Easter egg in it.

...

Ben Affleck was Batman a little bit after him.

No, I'm not...

Oh my God.

What?

Your dad's not here, and we forgot about Will Arnett.

He's Lego Batman.

W- was Will Arnett post bail?

think Mr.

Terrific had something to do with it once upon a time and I think Batman had something to do with it once upon a time.

It's basically like a rogue AI that starts off as helpful

yeah

Thank you.

Lois, hanging from a building before being rescued, recalls her helicopter rescue in the film Superman, the movie.

The district attorney publicly demanding that a masked hero reveal himself parallels Gotham's pressure on Batman in The Dark Knight.

I am the Batman I am

Yeah.

No, no, it's not better than Lego Batman.

Uh, it's different.

Fair

This guy's insane.

All of the stuff he does, the two boats.

Is this like the time with the two boats? It's better than the time with the two boats! That's from Lego Batman, for those who don't know.

The uncultured.

But it was a, it's a really good, really good set.

Um, and to be fair, the Batman, the Lego Batman Movie-

Yeah

... that's a theme I am extremely tempted to go back and try and grab more and more.
