What Makes Lego Batman The Most Faithful Batman

I am a vigilante who stalks at night and fights crime. I don't feel anything emotional except anger. Everyone knows who Batman is, but before 2017, the vast majority of DC comics' Bat-verses were still waiting to be

faithful

ly translated to the silver screen and beyond. The Lego Batman Movie Happened; It could have been a glorified toy commercial, but in

what

was a pleasant surprise to al

most

everyone, it turned out to be the definitive cinematic love letter to the Dark Knight and one of the

most

faithful

Batman adaptations I've ever encountered. I've seen you go through similar phases in 2016, 2012, 2008, 2005, 1997, 1995, 1992, and 1989, and before we discuss this topic, Brick by Brick, why not take a moment to subscribe to the nerdstogic channel?

In the early 1980s, the general public primarily associated Batman, with the campy 1966 Adam West TV show, a darker, grittier version of the character managed to make his way onto screens in the 1989 film simply titled Batman. , directed by Tim Burton. Since then, movie audiences have been treated almost exclusively to increasingly dark, serious films and realistic takes on the Caped Crusader, the Lego Batman who appeared in the 2014 Lego Movie and was inspired by the Batman in Burton's film, was a great satire of these black bodies in armor Movie with a deep voice Batman Emmett this is my boyfriend Batman I'm Batman his role in the original Lego movie was going to be a romantic rival for the protagonist Emmett, but along the way Batman appeared in some one of the most memorable parts of the film and became something of a breakout character.

If anyone has whiteboards, I need them. Okay, I only work in black. and sometimes a very, very dark gray, yet it was not obvious that it had a story of its own worth telling, much less one that demanded a spin-off, so when the Lego Batman movie was announced, fans , understandably, suspected that it would be a cash grab, it would be the direction of the feature film. The debut of Chris McKay, who had played several roles in The Lego Movie but was still an unknown commodity to the pub crowd, it turns out that McKay knew

what

he was doing from a world-building perspective.

Lego Batman instantly realizes what is by far the most expansive. version of the Bat-Verse ever hits the big screen, sure it all works as a commercial for Lego figures and sets, but it all happens in a way that supports the story and the character. Travels, the movie only takes a few minutes to establish the entire Gotham City Wayne Manor. the bat cave, the batmobile, the bat signal and a commissioner Gordon who is used to turning it on whenever he is in trouble, also immediately showing us Batman supervillains such as the Joker, the Riddler, the Penguin, Catwoman and Two Faces, this contrasts strongly. to the more serious takes that tended to start with origin stories and then build and populate Batman's world little by little over the course of several films.

Lego Batman is about as far from an origin story as you can get, simply diving into a fully formed Bat first and even many of Batman's darker adversaries, such as the Crazy Quilt Eraser, Polka Dot Man, Mime, and Seasoning. King, they can make appearances, are you making some of those up? No, they are all real, probably worth a Google search. The movie is full of fun Batman Easter eggs and overall oozes with love for all things Batman, given the hyper-details, The Lego Batman Movie probably could have rested on Nostalgia alone, but instead it also delivered what was It is among the most complete and heartfelt Batman stories ever seen on film.

The plot is quite simple. Even though Batman is the famous hero of Gotham, Bruce Wayne spends his sad life alone and trying not to think about how much he misses his family, his life is so empty that he can walk around Wayne Manor in a bathrobe and hood, no. No matter, there's no one to hide his secret, but one night he accidentally adopts wide-eyed plucky orphan Dick Grayson, and the two team up to take on the Joker over the course of their adventure. Batman begins to feel a paternal pride in his new pupil, who of course becomes Meanwhile, Robin, the Joker, is hurt and outraged that Batman won't admit that his rivalry is special.

You mean nothing to me, so they send him to the Phantom Zone, where he recruits monsters from other franchises like Sauron, Lord Voldemort, King Kong, and many others. To help him attack Gotham, the scale of the threat forces Batman to face his fears to win the fight, he has to open himself up to being a part and working with a new family that includes Robin Alfred and the new police commissioner Barbara Gordon. because? You build this thing with only one suit because ultimately it only had one butt, but to save Gotham City from falling into the abyss, he also has to team up with all of its villains, which means confessing his special relationship with the wild card Chris McKay .

He was a lifelong Batman fan and it was shown in every frame of the film that he crafted a heartfelt Ode to the family founded where the assembled Bat turned out to be the hero of the story and did so while respecting the mythology of The Lego Movie. If Joker's bomb were to explode, these plates would shatter, plunging all of Gotham's citizens into the Eternal Abyss that smells like dirty underwear. The public loved it. Critics loved it and, most importantly, Batman fans loved it. What are you doing hitting Bane? That was unnecessary. Lego Batman. The movie sounded like a stupid idea in the abstract, but it actually turned out to be his biggest strength: it meant he didn't have to worry about looking dumb while we've yet to see a live-action children's version of the Robin the Lego Batman movie. built his entire story around Batman Robin's relationship.

My name is Richard Grayson, but all the kids at the orphanage call me an idiot - well, kids can be cruel, yes, and the inherently silly nature of Lego Batman made it easy to dismiss some of the problematic aspects. of a billionaire who uses an orphan to do dangerous superhero work we use code names mine could be Robin as in this fragile little bird from the Midwest, yeah and I already have a catchphrase tweet tweet in the heart of the step street and when he's allowed into the bat cave, his reaction is nothing short of wonderfully enthusiastic delight.

Batman throws him into the field on a whim and he's hilariously great at it, so we never worry about Lego Robin. It all works because the tone of the world at large is as silly as Lego's aesthetic. The characters also make it very easy to bring up some of the comics' possibly dated costume choices, like Robin's green underwear and bare-legged pants that are a bit tight. I don't know if he could throw a kick or jump with them. I have a better idea that it wouldn't have worked in live action, but here it serves as a camera-savvy winger and sets Batman up for a prank.

I can only look into your eyes right now, that kind of thing freed the viewers to concentrate. about the story of two lonely orphans who become each other's found family without getting bogged down in the kinds of problematic real-world details that had thwarted previous attempts, another element of the Batman Universe that Lego Batman was able to put back at the center of the narration. It was family, specifically the Bat Family, which is the name fans used to describe the main characters in Batman's life, but Lego Batman took the idea of ​​the Bat Family to the most extreme extreme and when the movie ends, The entire city is effectively Batman's family, Bruce.

He opens up to being part of a family again and gains the whole world from him. Most fitting of all, Bruce's new family is formed around Batman, as opposed to the more serious tone he takes, as The Dark Knight is not a curse to endure in this universe in The. Lego Movie being Batman is a good thing and saves Bruce's life in multiple ways, it's no wonder Batman fans loved it and in the first few minutes the movie establishes that Lego Batman is reminiscent of the climaxes of Batman 89 and the Knight Nolan Dark, what's with that moment with the two ships?

This is better than both ships at the same time. Elements from the Adam West show like Egghead and Chief O'Hara and all those wacky silver-aged comic book villains are also part of his world, and The Lego Batman Movie is faithful to all of them. those experiences, so what do you think you liked about the Lego Batman Movie and how do you think it compares to other film versions of Batman?
