* Watch closely during "I'm Batman". When Bats says "'Cause I'm a billionaire", it's right after he closes his Batplane's canopy, so none of the villains hear it. Even when he denies being Bruce Wayne, he doesn't sing it out loud. It's playing on his headphones.

* Why are the Gotham rogues and the Phantom Zone Prisoners [[AdaptationalNiceGuy so much nicer than in canon]]? This is the imagination of a child, who would not only already have a naive idea of what villains are like, he would most likely be forbidden by his parents to read/watch the darker parts of the source material.

* Sauron is accidentally "killed" by a fireball, but he can only be taken down by destroying his ring. It's more likely his (weak) physical form was killed, and he'll take another 3,000 years to gather enough power to manifest again-not dead, but nowhere near alive enough to worry about for aeons.

rich idiot with no day job was disambiguated by TRS.


* Joker won't believe that Batman is Bruce Wayne, when presented with the evidence, and instead assumes they're roommates. Because Bruce is the logical extreme of a RichIdiotWithNoDayJob, and Batman is a MemeticBadass. While Bruce spends his time holed up in his mansion, attending charity events and spitting out drinks, Batman spends his day taking down the Rogues. The difference is even more pronounced when Bruce is a philanthropist, and Batman is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.

Added DiffLines:

** And assuming the Lego Adaptation Games exist in the real world of these movies, Joker isn't really portrayed as abusive to Harley there either. At worst, she annoys him.
** On that note, Joker has much sharper teeth here than usual. The first Lego Batman game had him with properly outlined teeth, likely painting Finn's interpretation.

Added DiffLines:

** Similarly, the Daleks may have been put in there because no matter how many times the Doctor wipes them out, [[JokerImmunity they keep coming back in some shape or form.]] Likewise, Sauron is immortal as long as the One Ring is around, so he might've been banished there too for a similar reason.

to:

* The Joker calls the Daleks "British robots" (Ask your nerd friends), but they aren't actually robots or from Britain. They're mutant-cyborgs in armor from Skaro. Assuming this movie is also just a scenario being played out by kids, and children typically don't watch Doctor Who (Unless they can stomach the amount of NightmareFuel in it), it's likely Finn [[CommonKnowledge assumed they were robots.]]

to:

* Batman's computer literally just being Siri instead of being voiced by an actress seems like another joke but it's actually yet another way to show how sad and lonely his life is: aside from Alfred, Batman's only "friend" is an emotionless computer. Had they hired an actual actress the computer would have seemed too human and therefor make Batman's interactions with it seem more natural.

The Calculator built the CD rack, not Captain Cold.


* Captain Cold builds a CD rack, which resembles the "double decker couch" from ''WesternAnimation/TheLEGOMovie''. The fridge brilliance comes from it falling apart instantly -- because he's not a Master Builder.
* Batman dismisses out of hand the idea of recruiting villains to fight bigger villains, saying it's stupid. While this comes off as a TakeThat towards the premise of ''Film/SuicideSquad2016'' (and it is pretty funny if taken that way), it's also the ''canonical opinion'' that Batman has of the idea in ''Suicide Squad'' itself, so it works even in-universe.

* Why is the police academy that Barbara Gordon trained at referred to as Harvard for Police? Simple, Finn likely doesn't know the names of any actual police academies, so he just thought of the police equivalent of Harvard University.
