There’s a degree of quirkiness intact, with trips to a parallel universe known as the Phantom Zone, or the inclusion of Voldemort and The Daleks amongst the bad guys. The scriptwriting team haven’t been afraid to keep the plot moving, its hefty momentum meaning you have to pay attention to keep up, and the cleverly crafted lines come thick and fast. The endless references are just one part of a clever story. It’s still quite hilarious, with more in-jokes than you can count - there are no holds barred when riffing on ‘Batman v Superman’ and the rest of Batman’s filmography, his outfits, his ludicrous Bat-weapons, or his backstory. With Batman as our protagonist, the film is given a little more gravitas and grounding, and brings a darker (both visually and tonally) element to the film, taking away some of that bubblegum quality of ‘The Lego Movie’.
This is definitely not as madcap as the original film, but it wasn’t designed to be.
