History Heartwarming / TheLEGOBatmanMovie

** Robin also calling Alfred "grandpa" might be even sweeter. With Robin meeting Batman's son and Alfred being Batman's surrogate father figure, this does make sense.

* After Dick gets hurt because the Batmobile has no seat-belts, Batman decides to go slowly and to use his arm as one, also declaring he'll put them when they go back. It's the first thing in the whole movie that ''isn't'' self-centered, showing that he's not 100% jerkass. Keep in mind, he took Dick along as 110% expendable, and yet is caring about his safety.

* Odd as the scenario may be, it's still sweet how all of the Joker's [[VillainousFriendship villainous friends]] are genuinely supportive of him during his [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything relationship]] [[FoeYay problems]] with Batman. Especially Harley, who is seen smiling in the background when Batman finally admits that he is his enemy.

* Though it was the wrong thing to do, Batman does ShooTheDog to send his "family" to safety and to put them by a taco stand so that they can be fed, when he sees their selfie is similar to the portrait of him and his parents He considers Robin, Barbara and Alfred as his family.

** Not ''quite'' the first: It's a small moment that may be lost in a CrowningMomentOfFunny, but Batman is sincerely apologetic after accidentally dropkicking Alfred into the piano and rushes over to see if he's okay.

* Right after [[spoiler: Joker has released an army of otherworldly villains from the Phantom Zone, and Batman and Robin are stuck in Arkham Asylum]] Dick is understandably terrified. He asks Batman if he's ever been scared, and though Batman denies it adamantly he hears Dick crying softly through the walls and comforts Dick by telling him that Bruce Wayne is someone who gets scared. It's the first fatherly thing he does completely willingly. He then tells Dick:

* 'Puter [[spoiler:overriding Batman's orders to take Robin, Barbara, and Alfred to Bludhaven so that they can all go back and help him.]]

* Batman convinces the Joker to [[spoiler: help save Gotham at the end by admitting that the Joker is important to him too (in a weird frienemy kind of way), which is all the Joker really wanted to hear. The Joker is overjoyed.]]
** Then once the [[spoiler:city is pulled back together and the day is saved]], Batman and Joker have an oddly tender moment in front of the rising sun... wherein they declare their mutual ''hatred'' for each other. It's as funny as it is bizarrely heartwarming.

-->'''Batman:''' Don't call me 'Padre'. [...] call me [[spoiler:*Batman removes his cowl* Dads.]]
* Batman's fatherly consolement to Dick [[spoiler: before he leaves for the Phantom Zone]] is a culmination of all the character development leading up to this point, which incidentally blows a lot of other incarnations of Batman's flawed views of life out of the water.

* The last shot before the credits is [[spoiler: Bruce hanging Dick's selfie of him and his new Bat-Family right next to a selfie Bruce took as a child with his own parents. The general layout is the same in both photos with the son in the foreground and the rest of the family standing together behind him.]]
** The scene leading up to this is equally adorable, all set to Alex Aiono's cover of "Man In the Mirror". [[spoiler:Bruce finally gets to have a lobster dinner with his new family!]]

* [[spoiler: Despite stabbing them all in the back earlier in the movie, it is nice to see the Joker allowing to rest of the Rogues Gallery to walk away with him. Some of them were cheering him on due to the fact that he got Batman to confess to him.]]

-->[[spoiler: '''other Rogues Gallery members:''' Joker! Joker! Joker!]]

* The fact that Joker and Harley aren't in an abusive relationship but are [=BFFs=], Harley supporting Joker when he's depressed and Joker not being manipulative towards Harley.
