Film "The Lego Batman Movie"
Produced by Dartmouth alums Phil Lord ’97 and Chris Miller ’97, this animated comedy blends a parody of the Caped Crusader with interlocking brick humor.
With the irreverent spirit of fun that made The Lego Movie a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble stars in his own big-screen adventure. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if Batman wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, he may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others, and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.
Produced by Dartmouth alum dream team Phil Lord ’97 and Chris Miller ’97 (The Lego Movie, 21 Jump Street), this stop motion-animated comedy is endlessly inventive, blending a parody of the caped crusader with delights for fans of interlocking brick systems. Will Arnett, reprising his role as Batman, leads an all-star cast including Zach Galifianakis, Michael Cera, Rosario Dawson, Jenny Slate and Ralph Fiennes. D: Chris McKay, US, 2017, 1h 44m
