The Lego Batman Movie

Ah, Dan Slott. That explains it.

Back on-topic, yes many Batman Villains are silly, but they were created on the Silver Age of comics, it is to be expected. They still may or may not be competent, Depending on the Writer. And yes, The Joker may be his most popular enemy but he's far from his true nemesis (that would be Ra's Al Ghul.)

Gentleman Ghost was a Golden Age villain who went up against Hawkman a lot, wasn't he?

The Golden Age introduced many of the iconic rogues: Hugo Strange, Joker, Catwoman, Clayface I, Penguin, Scarecrow, Two-Face, Mad Hatter, Riddler, Deadshot, Killer Moth, and Firefly.

Seriously, if you were to go out and ask people to name a Batman villain odds are they will name a Golden Age character.

The Silver Age still gave us Mr. Freeze (though it was BTAS that gave him his iconic character), Poison Ivy, and the powers Clayface would be better known for.

EDIT: According to the guy who made the above list, on his Bronze Age list Gentleman Ghost didn't start going after Batman till the 70's (same with Solomon Grundy).

Yeah, looked it up, and Gentleman Ghost has historically been a Hawkman villain. He has a grudge against one of Hawkman's past lives that prevents him from going into the afterlife or something, and he's weak against nth metal, which Hawkman and Hawkgirl use quite a bit.

I think that the use of Gentlemen Ghost is because of him tangling with Bats in Brave & The Bold.

Bats and Hawk also share C-Lister Kite-Man. TBH I kind of feel Kite-Man works better as a Hawk villain since you could say he's trying to match Hawk's ability to fly with his own.

A lot of shots in the TV spots and trailers I've seen has Lego!Bruce reheating microwave Lego chicken for dinner. Now I'm kinda curious to see what it looks like from the inside of the microwave as Lego food is heated. Are there tiny Lego sparks that dart around the microwave, causing the little plate to rotate?

That would be really cool to see.

It's actually a lobster that he's reheating.

I'm not into Batman, but the Lego movie was great great great. Guess I'll be watching this.

My sentiments!

Wow its nearly February 10th!! Where did the time go!?

I signed up for an event at my local Legoland where 33_Footsteps and I might get free tickets to see a sneak preview of this movie on the 4th. I promise, if I get in, no spoilers.

You lucky bastard.

...I haven't been to Legoland in over a decade. I think the Visorak were still new last time I was there...

Behind the Bricks

Drat. Beat me to it.

I love how they made one for this, just like they did for The LEGO Movie!

That was hilarious. I'm really looking forward to this movie.

Ah, I was hoping they'd make one of these! I am hyped, yes yes yes.

So glad they made another one. Genuinely cackled at Batman watching Joker's camera interview on the screen and hearing him pine for Batman to know him better...and then laughing it off.

I wasn't aware of this. A collaboration with Disney of all things.

Early reviews appear to be very positive so far, reflecting the hope that this would be the best reviewed DC film since The Dark Knight Rises.

This will be awesome!

"Cribs"-style tour of Wayne Manor.

"IRON MAN SUCKS!"

This was a fun movie.

.... so um is this movie already released in some parts of the world?

A lot of critics have seen it, yeah

Grace Randolph (Beyond The Trailer) thought Babs ruined the movie in the second half, but she tends to crticisize every strong female lead or co-lead in the movies she sees
