History WMG / TheLEGOBatmanMovie

* Is because his greatest enemy is Joe Chill, the man who murdered his parents. No matter what The Joker does, he will NEVER be worse than
the man who took away Bruce Wayne's family and childhood and made him into the man he is today.

* It starts with Batman tying weird clues together to prove that the BiggerBad is... [[ActorAllusion Alfred!]]

** Though if ''The Lego Batman Movie'' takes place in a continuity where every other Batman movie happened, that'd be complicated because of ''Film/{{Batman}}'' (1989): [[spoiler:the Joker was the man who murdered Bruce's parents]].

* [[spoiler: The events of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoMovie'' were revealed to be all be imaginary adventures Finn had while playing with his dad's LEGOs and reflected issues with his dad's ControlFreak behavior over them. Alfred and Batman's interactions in the trailers are portrayed as a parent dealing with their moody, teenage child, suggesting this Batman story is inspired by some kind of issue they're having.]]

** The person behind this [[spoiler: isn't Finn, though. He's a somewhat older LEGO player with the same ideas. He and Finn will become friends and fellow-"workers",]] mirroring Batman and Robin. Perhaps it's Finn's dad, who's finally learned to have fun with LEGOs rather than just building them for display.

** [[spoiler: Jossed. Joker is the Big Bad. While at first it seems [[LordoftheRings Sauron]], [[HarryPotter Voldemort]], [[Series/DoctorWho the Daleks]], [[Film/KingKong King Kong]], [[TheWizardofOz The Wicked Witch of the West]] and the rest of the Phantom Zone inmates are going to hijack the role of Big Bad, they quickly decide to follow Joker's lead leading to a VillainTeamUp with Joker as the leader.]]

* Phyllis mentions her boss using a female pronoun, and one could assume this story takes place a while after ''TheLEGOMovie'' wherein Finn's sister could have outgrown the Duplo figures and taken an interest in the Batman figures.

Since Batman's problem with Superman was never really addressed or worked out in this movie, in the next one they're going to be forced to team up so they can work out their differences. And it will end with him being properly invited to a Justice league party.

** [[spoiler: Early in the film it's established that Gotham is sitting on thin plates with nothing supporting it underneath (A table holding Lego land plates) and that an explosion would rip them apart and send everything into the same abyss Emett fell into in ''The Lego Movie'' that led to the real world; they even play a small clip of it]]

[[WMG: The Shark Repellant will be a ChekhovsGun]]

* [[spoiler: Kind of. While makes two appearances (in a television interview discussing the Phantom Zone and at the Fortress of Solitude), Joker gets the idea to enter the Phantom Zone and unleash their villains from watching his interview]]

* Close. Bat-bucks do appear, which are black 1x2 plates with the Batman logo on it.
