The Lego Batman Movie

They're obviously taking the canon storylines loosely, picking and choosing what works best for this movie, and not caring that they're mixing several of them at once. Love it!

This is the DC superhero movie I'm most looking forward to watching....

Which is how a kid would play with their Legos.

Bit of Fridge Brilliance if you ask me.

Or a comic book fan who wants to tell the story of his/her favorite character in their own way.

Just some adding some ice here to that fridge.

Will this movie also include a live-action scene in the third act?

I kind of hope not. The effectiveness from The LEGO Movie would never be as big because people expect it now.

If there is one, the reveal this time should be Bruce Wayne and his therapist.

The whole thing was an attempt to help Bats through some of his issues.

Batfleck cameo? Because that could be kinda hilarious.

"Mr. Wayne, it's a fundamental social concept that punching someone repeatedly and yelling at them where is what you want is not the way to behave in a supermarket."

The live action segment features Jared Leto's Joker playing with his Legos all innocently, then Margot Robbie walks in, Leto starts pretending the Legos are all viciously killing each other.

@102 I've heard the same sentiment a ton.

I'm totally taking my kid to see this the weekend it comes out. She's already psyched, and days later is still laughing at the "I only have one butt" line. Also, it was kinda funny watching me explain to her just why The Joker was said when Batman said he was "fighting around."

Good luck explaining Foe Yay! Although, a child friendly analogy might be to say that the Joker wants Batman to be is only worst enemy, kind of how some kids think you can only have one best friend. And the Joker thinks fighting is the way to be "friends".

Pretty much. It can be platonic, but at the end it's all about attention.

I so want the reveal to be Batfleck playing with Legos. Just the sheer absurdity of it all. More realistically, it's probably another kid.

I did end up going with something similar to @111 - I told her that The Joker is very selfish and wants Batman's attention so much that he doesn't want Batman being a "good guy" anywhere else.

Oddly, explaining the quickie shot of him fighting Superman was easier. Friends don't always get along, and she's seen that in action first-hand enough to get that. Though when she's older, I will have to figure out a good reason why Bats and Supes get into fights so much, and I still don't quite get the hard-on writers have for that particular confrontation (at least in a physical sense - I've seen some well-scripted verbal showdowns between the two, which makes way more sense).

Better yet, what if the kid in question is one of Ben Affleck's kids?

Aren't pretty much all children of Hollywood stars doomed one way or another anyway?

I could see it though Ben Affleck's son would keep calling Batman dad.

In an interview Ben Affleck told a funny story about his son and his friend talking about their favorite superheroes.

Ben Affleck's son said his favorite superhero is the Flash; when asked by his friend "what about Batman?" Affleck's son said "Batman's just my dad"

Here's all of the blind-bag minfigs. Looks like we'll get A LOT of Batsuit and villain cameos.

Well... uh... on the downside... no pirate Batman. Of course, back when it was on shelves, I bought the action figure for pirate Batman, so I guess a minifig would be guilding the lily. Oh, and I got a metric butt-ton of zombie pirates back when the Halloween blind-bags were out, so I can just put my own together.

Other than that... geez, I'm going to have my kid asking to play with those minifigs constantly. You know, as opposed to now... when she asks to play with my minifigs constantly.

Billy Dee Williams finally gets to play Two-Face

And here I thought this movie couldn't get any more amazing.

Here's a close-up◊ of his figure.

The pink hair is kind of weird...

I'm thinking it's supposed to be molten plastic.

This is already my favorite line from the movie. XD

Alfred: Your greatest fear, Master Bruce, is being a part of a family again.
Batman: No. Now it's snake clowns, because you put that idea in my head.

Dammit Lego, why u so amazing?
