Frustrated that Batman won't acknowledge their undeniable hero-villain connection, Joker sets out to get Batman's attention any way he can, including by unleashing a horde of history's greatest villains from across various franchises and stories, all of which have been trapped in the movie's version of The Phantom Zone. That has to change fast when the film's plot kicks in, a plot set in motion by the film's version of The Joker (Zach Galifianakis). So, despite the protestations of Alfred (Ralph Fiennes), he keeps to himself, indulging in his brooding only when no one else is looking. This Batman is afraid of the very idea of family, of closeness, convinced that he'll lose it all again if he ever lets anyone into his world. When he's not, it threatens to eat him up inside. When he's in control of it, it adds to his loner image. See, Batman is also hiding a tremendous personal insecurity stemming from the loss of his parents years ago. Basically, he's the coolest dude in Gotham City, he knows it, and he'll do just about anything to preserve that image.including pushing away all the things that could make him vulnerable. Voiced once again by Will Arnett, the Batman we meet in The LEGO Batman Movie (now streaming on Peacock!) is packing the same arrogance and self-confidence as he did in The LEGO Movie, as well as the same cool gadgets and rockin' personal soundtrack. RELATED: Everything streaming on Peacock in April 2023 It also wasn't surprising, at least to me, that the movie ended up working. announced plans to make a movie centered entirely on The LEGO Movie's version of Batman, it wasn't surprising. He can even fight Darkseid and his minions alongside the Justice League. It's one of the reason's he's lasted this long in the pantheon of great superheroes, one of the reasons he's carried two different ongoing comics since 1940, and of course, one of the reasons he's been able to shoulder so many different big-screen adaptations.īatman can work with a gritty, grounded, straight-up crime story, of course, but he can also work with a neon-splattered campy epic, or with an almost operatic supervillain story that consumes an entire city. For all his depictions as an immovable, sometimes frustratingly principled creature who puts justice above all else, Batman is a character of surprising elasticity.
