Our take

This bright LEGO comedy features toy-like punches, bombs, monster chases and plenty of noise. Batman's grief over his parents shapes his reluctance to form a new family, while teenage orphan Robin joins the action. Most children aged 8 and over should manage it, although sensitive younger viewers may need a break.

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?
