Our take

This is a bright LEGO comedy, not a dark Batman film. Toy characters punch, drop bombs, and chase monsters. It gets loud. Batman talks about losing his parents, and he takes in a teenage orphan. Fine for most kids 8 and up who already like noisy toy action. Sensitive little kids may want a pause

Uplifting themes

Learning to share the work and let people in is the heart of the joke A kid and a butler push Batman to be a better teammate, not just a lone hero

Story (may spoil tone)

A cooler-than-ever Bruce Wayne must deal with the usual suspects as they plan to rule Gotham City, while discovering that he has accidentally adopted a teenage orphan who wishes to become his sidekick.

Talk after watching

  • Batman thinks he has to do everything alone. When is asking for help the brave thing?
  • What is the difference between a LEGO fight and a real fight?
