Added DiffLines:

* The four main characters of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegoBatmanMovie'':
** Cynic: Batman - aloof, brooding and self-serving.
** Optimist: Robin - pure, idealistic and kind-hearted.
** Realist: Barbara Gordon - level-headed, pragmatic and open-minded.
** Apathetic: Alfred Pennyworth - not involved in the main part of the plot for a good chunk of the film, only joining the other three until after the halfway point; nevertheless proves to be a good authority figure towards Batman and gets along well with the others.
