Batman (voice of Will Arnett) defends Gotham City from criminals and supervillains while bonding with a young orphan (Michael Cera) he accidentally adopted -- who, of course, eventually becomes his sidekick Robin.

Directed by Chris McKay (ROBOT CHICKEN).

Movie Critics

A.V. Club

"Director Chris McKay and his six-man writing team also throw in a lot of references to Batman lore." -- Grade: B

— Jesse Hassenger (6 Feb 2017, )

Boston Globe

"[T]he star of the show in every sense is Will Arnett, reprising his entertainingly growly Dark Knight from the previous movie....Arnett’s voice work is pure Christian Bale parody, of course..."

— Tom Russo (9 Feb 2017, )

Empire

4 stars out of 5 -- "It’s a film dense with jokes, the writers riffing successfully on both this sullen and arrogant iteration of Batman and the character’s rich and varied history."

— (7 Feb 2017, )

Hollywood Reporter

"[The filmmakers] find no shortage of satirical targets, taking sly aim at everything from SUICIDE SQUAD to Donald Trump’s taxes....Performance-wise, Arnett certainly gives it his disaffected all..."

— Michael Rechtshaffen (4 Feb 2017, )

Los Angeles Times

"[A]n impish, big-hearted parody that also happens to be the best Batman movie since THE DARK KNIGHT..."

— Justin Chang (9 Feb 2017, )

New York Times

"[P]retty irresistible. It’s silly without being truly strange or crossing over into absurdity..."

— Manohla Dargis (8 Feb 2017, )

RogerEbert.com

"[I]t draws upon decades of Bat lore for its inside jokes and cultural references that zip by faster than any souped-up Bat vehicle."

— Susan Wloszczyna (9 Feb 2017, )

Rolling Stone

3 stars out of 4 -- "Will Arnett may have found the role of his career voicing the growly Dark Knight as a delusional, ego-centric freak willing and eager to mine laughs out of his own psychosis....THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE rises on its own goofball spirits."

— Peter Travers (8 Feb 2017, )

The Atlantic

"[I]t’s a wry piece of meta-commentary that deconstructs everyone’s favorite moody hero using the anarchic animated style of the Lego world."

— David Sims (10 Feb 2017, )

The Guardian

4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]his gag-packed, knockabout action-adventure has a lot of fun with the character....It is relentlessly, consistently funny..."

— (4 Feb 2017, )

Total Film

4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he chief target is the Dark Knight himself, hilariously voiced by Will Arnett as a grumpy churl and preening egotist that helmer Chris McKay delights in undercutting at every opportunity."

— Neil Smith (4 Feb 2017, )

USA Today

"[T]he family-friendly animated superhero comedy maniacally blisters the screen with loving homages to past Bat-flicks, wacky baddies, wickedly clever references and one very unsubtle message: Don’t be a jerk, be a pal."

— Brian Truitt (26 Dec 2017, )

Variety

"[I]t’s kicky, bedazzling, and super-fun. The second thing to say about it is that, like THE LEGO MOVIE, it’s a kiddie flick that’s been made in a sophisticated spirit of lightning-fast, brain-bursting paradox."

— Owen Gleiberman (4 Feb 2017, )

Washington Post

"THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE looks and feels like it could only have been put together by a roomful of mad geniuses, moving in a ballet of well-choreographed creativity: It’s simultaneously epic and humble."

— (9 Feb 2017, )
