There's not a lot of any Batman villain who isn't Joker aside from a few lines each. I wouldn't go in if you're expecting the spotlight to be on Batman's rogues gallery. Kind of a bummer, but I still ended up enjoying myself. You can tell the people behind it are big fans of the series.How much Two-Face was there?
Harley has a lot more lines than most Batman villains and is also is important to the plot, but yeah everyone else has maybe one or two lines.There's not a lot of any Batman villain who isn't Joker aside from a few lines.

Gotham is built on top of a thin plate with nothing underneath it, referring to the table the kid plays on.
Huh, that actually makes a lot of sense as to why those villains appear.Not only that, but:the Phantom Zone makes little sense as a major plot device until you realize that it is literally the kids toy chest. That's why so many non-Batman villains come out of it. The movie is literally the "Batman fights a T-Rex RAWR" moment of our childhoods.

"My names Richard, but everyone calls me Dick!"
"People can be mean like that..."
I lost it at that line.
I liked the movie quite a bit! But a coupled of things soured me.
Other than using Will Arnett's take on the Batman character, there's really nothing "Lego" about this movie. The Lego Movie was very very much about Legos, poking fun at the different "dimensions", it being a repository for really obscure Lego references, having a fairly deep message about creativity that was central to both the main and the "meta" narrative, and yes the "meta" narrative elevating the movie to a whole new level.
Lego Batman did a lot of the same but with a lot less gusto. It poked fun at other Batman universes (but doesn't really have anything to do with Lego), it was a repository for really obscure Batman references (but doesn't really have anything to do with Lego), and the messages, while certainly nice, really don't have anything to do with Lego. So it really aped the formula but without any of the context. The fact that this was a Lego movie is completely aesthetic. Not to say they should've done the "meta" narrative again, since that's really just one thing they can do once and that's it. But I was waiting to see if they were gonna do anything interesting to justify the "Legoness" of the movie and it never came.
Once you get to thePhantom Zone, they throw in a bunch of random villains much like the original Lego Movie threw in a bunch of random characters as Master Builders. It made sense because it was a kid playing with his dad's obsessive collection, but here it's literally just random shit. It felt like they really wanted to recreate that aspect of the original Lego Movie, but in this context it just doesn't fit.
And I realize this has completely nothing to do with the actual movie, but the trailer for the Ninjago Lego Movie kinda soured me on the whole experience before it even started. You can see the shameless milking coming from a mile away. Like dude I haven't even seen the second movie and you're already trying to sell me on seeing the third...? And it didn't help that it's basically the same humor and style, like they take one "universe" and lay a thin narrative and the same type of storytelling on top of it. This is gonna turn into the Assassin's Creed of movie franchises, isn't it? :(
If it works for Marvel why wouldn't it work here?

Oh, and Doug Benson as Bane. If you listen to Doug Loves Movies you know why that's amazing.
Loved it. What kind of mad man puts in a fucking Gleaming the Cube reference?

It's for the parents who are older and actually remember old Christian Slater movies
I just thought it was an amazing parody of Tom Hardy.

Yeah that was fucking hilarious. This movie is definitely a 10/10 cause I got most of the old Batman references. Like Eggman. Wtf kind of villain is Eggman?

It will be interesting to see if there could ever be a deal worked out for a movie on by far LEGO's biggest money making theme, LEGO Star Wars.

Disappointing. The Batman schtick was great as comic relief in the Lego Movie, but it can't carry a movie. This movie wasn't very funny and I found myself wondering when it would end.
Does this film feature any references to Lego Movie?
It sounds like you wanted this to be The Lego Movie 2.I ... thought it was very mediocre?
Beside the reference to master builders, the Lego shtick was pretty disconnected, there were some funny puns but most of the good ones were seen in the trailer, and the main message of the film was both unrelated to the nature of the movie (about pure creation) and seen about 10 million times before when related to Batman.
The movie really felt like a way to peddle Warner franchises (with a few randoms added in the mix thanks to the BBC and Universal) with little rime or reason.
Very disappointing, after having high hopes due to the trailer, and the direction was really having trouble handling the amount of chaos towards the end (Miller &Lord were seriously missed).
6/10, because the kids liked it.
This is the funniest animated movie I've seen in years. Overall I think the LEGO Movie is a better movie, but from a sheer comedic standpoint this movie blows away any animated comedy in years.
For someone who couldn't stand the Lego movie... Will I enjoy this?

speaking of which, how is Zach Galifanakis in the film? the trailers leave a lot to be desired in regards to his delivery
SPOILER]Superman was bragging about putting Zod in the Phantom zone, Joker enters the phantom zone and releases the cameo villains from WB and Universal, but where's Zod?![/SPOILER]
