I'm dead. | THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE Reaction

[@milkiassamuel780]

Unironically, this is one of the greatest Batman films, and I love how much of a love letter this movie is to the legacy of Batman as a character and how he's affected so many others. Will Arnett is INCREDIBLY UNDERRATED as Lego Batman. Fun Fact: Zoe Kravitz actually voiced Catwoman in this movie and coincidentally she plays Catwoman in live action in Matt Reeves's The Batman (2022). Another surprise casting is that Billy Dee Williams aldo voices Two Face in this movie as well, and that is especially cool since he play Harvey Dent in the original 1989 Batman Tim Burton movie and though we never got to see him come back to play the character and become Two Face, this movie gives us possibly the only chance of Billy Dee William as Two Face in a film

this film was a deconstruction, fan service and tribute done right.

The best Batman movies are animated.

[@EalainEP]

Bruce liking Barbara in this is a lot easier to digest because 1. She's a full grown adult and 2. Batman isn't best friends with Gordon lol

[@JakNasty69]

And they don't have that pseudo father/daughter relationship, the killing joke movie 🤢🤮🤮 Bruce Timm is such a weird dude it's no wonder he only worked on a small portion of the shows

[@eingoluq]

yup. still hate it though. DC should put a permanent ban on Bruce and Babs shipping in all content.

[@zaqqaz]

Bruce and Barbs is one of Batman’s best ships IMO.

[@eingoluq]

@@zaqqaz nah, it's disgusting.

[@zaqqaz]

@@eingoluq it fits because Batman is a sick and twisted character, he likes to bring kids into fighting crime.

"Godzilla" was actually the Kraken from Clash of the Titans and the "British Robots" are Daleks from Doctor Who.

[@mblackwl]

"Ruuuuun! It's Godzilla!" "It looks like Godzilla but due to international copyright laws , it's not." "Still, we should run like it's Godzilla!" "Though it isn't."

@@JayPadrig ... I know, notice my use of quotations? I was quoting her.

[@Lucas_Carvalho616]

The gag wih Bane is because of how he was played by Tom hardy im Darknight Rises. Specially his voice. They even do him like that but even funnier in the Harley Quinn show.

[@benschultz1784]

I love how un-serious this movie is. Also, like the Lego Movie, this is fully CGI yet can pass as stop-motion. My favorite part is that Lego Voldemort is voiced by British comedian Eddie Izzard, while Alfred is voiced by actual Voldemort (Ralph Fiennes). Also, Zoë Kravitz voicing Catwoman in this before playing live action Catwoman in _The Batman_

[@mpg272727]

Truly the best version of Batman, no lie.

[@residentfan1521]

“Who never pays taxes? Batman!” Because he’s rich!

[@rodrigoferreramenezes5274]

Bane here is a big mini-figure. They can only move the arms, hands and head. And his voice is base on Tom Hardy's Bane.

[@Lokear]

Not even head until recently. Bane here is stuck facing directly forward, lol.

[@najhoant]

5:15 I think that's a very specific nod to the 2016 Suicide Squad movie, where Killer Croc was a Squad member, and the only real thing he contributed to the story was dive through water-filled tunnels to plant a bomb. Some thought the character was wasted since he was so underused

[@starcatcher9405]

Bruce didn't initially adopt Dick because it was the 40s and he wasn't married :( He wanted to thought By the time the second Robin, Jason, came along, the times have changed so he was able to adopt him immediately. Bruce did adopt Dick eventually too, but Dick was already an adult in-universe by that point.

[@DrSuperLuigiSeth1]

My friend, do NOT underestimate Alfred. He may be old, but he’s arguably the most dangerous member of the Batfamily right next to Batman himself. He taught Bruce nearly everything he knows about combat, the League of Assassins training was just extra. Alfred was part of the UK’s special forces, and doesn’t have to adhere to Batman’s “no killing” and “no guns” rules. He’s beaten SUPERMAN once. As for the Bane thing, I believe it’s supposed to be a mix of the Welsh Bane from Dark Knight Rises and the typical Latino Bane from most media. Fun fact: Zod is nowhere to be seen in the Phantom Zone. My theory is at the exact same time Joker got in, Zod found his own way out.

[@diegopansini3152]

Coming from someone who is in love with the Batman Arkham games and The Batman movie…this movie is still the most Batman-like movie ever 😂

[@gazzamanazza4pm]

Same! I grew up with The Dark Knight trilogy and then watched The Animated Series and played The Arkham Games, all of which I adore, so I was really worried going into the cinema for this film that this was going to be too silly for me. Turns out it was silly in exactly the right way while also being a love letter to the world of Batman, and I couldn't appreciate this movie more than I do.

[@anthonyklis3124]

It works so well as a parody because the director, Chris McKay, was a huge Batman fan. It makes the jokes more genuine, cause they don‘t come from a place of disinterest or hatred, but love for the source-material. Just like your closest friends can roast you the hardest. Interestingly, he originally was set to direct a Nightwing movie for DC after Lego Batman was released, as he felt like Dick Grayson never got the proper treatment he deserved (case in point that horrible edgy Harley Quinn cartoon where Nightwing is literally the butt of all jokes). Sadly, that won‘t be the case anymore after all the WB/DC shakeups. (Edit: as a greek I will ignore the „misunderstood, queen“ part for medusa Meg)

[@MegMageReacts]

So truuuuuue! Love hearing he's a fan. Sorry not sorry for my Medusa stanning 🤣

[@JakNasty69]

He was going to direct a Nightwing movie? Holy shit that would've been great

[@gro6866]

To this day, I'm still disappointed that the sequel to this movie was cancelled.

[@RobTheDoodler]

This is the ultimate love letter to Batman and I love it.

[@codasalteregos2110]

"You.... Complete me." "HAHAHAHAHA!!"

[@aitipsea3909]

DALEKS British Robots are Daleks, from Doctor Who. Technically they aren't robots tho, they are small squid-like aliens in mobile tanks with a deep hatred for all life Also the suit guys are Agent Smith from Matrix, and the little "yodas" are Gremlins from the movie Gremlins

[@spencernaugle]

46:14 People always say "like the comics" when they see the fighting word balloons but I would argue that's really more of the 60's show.

[@usulsk]

Well... the 60s show did this obviously as a reference to the comics, so everyone is right.

[@NessaHD]

As soon as i saw the title i knew you would love this movie! Lego Batman is my favorite Batman movie, it makes use of its universe so well

[@otaku-sempai2197]

Bruce did, finally, formally adopt Dick as his son around the year 2000. I think that he also legally adopted both Jason and Tim, but I don't trust the interwebs to be accurate! Yes, "Exterminate!" is a reference to the Doctor Who antagonists the Daleks.

[@AdrianFlipflop]

I used to be a professional babysitter as well, but i called it "child care specialist" just to make sound more official

[@MegMageReacts]

You know what I'm stealing that. 🤣

[@Knowthyledge]

“Fly, Robin, Fly” is a jam!😂

[@randomfox7261]

Zoe Kravitz voiced Catwoman in this movie then later played her in The Batman 2022 because she originally wanted to play her in The Dark Knight Rises and was turned away for not being white enough (even though Catwoman has been none-white before)

[@MegMageReacts]

Omg, I didn't know that!?!?! And her version looks exactly like the Year 1 comic.

[@JoeZy27]

It wasn’t for Catwoman, it was only for a small part. Maybe for the part of Selina’s young roommate (Jen) or the role of Thalia’s mother. Either way, she didn’t get to audition because she was told "they were not going ‘urban’ on the part”.

[@sup3414]

That skin excuse was never the reason why she wasn't casted. That's just her being a Karen.

[@IndiGhost_77]

30:37 it's the Daleks from Doctor Who!

[@residentfan1521]

Barbara Gordon is Bruce’s age in this one so it’s not creepy

[@batbrick3949]

As the (unofficial) top expert on Batman in the U.S. Government, I will attest that this is one of the greatest Batman movies ever put to film.

[@Sinewmire]

I love how Sauron is Jemaine Clement, who is from New Zealand where Lord of the Rings was famously filmed, and whose partner in Flight of the Conchords, Brett McKenzie is in Lord Of the Rings as Lindir aka Figwit.

[@Nasiruify]

LETS.. GET... NUTS..

[@benpowersguitar]

Really one of the best Batman movies ever made. So much fun.

[@RobinRhombus2]

The Batman 2022 was in the works since Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice. The thing was originally meant to be Ben Affleck's Batman vs Deathstroke. It went through so many rewrites that the final version is completely unrecognisable from the original draft. The LEGO Batman Movie's casting was filled with references. Catwoman was one of them. They already had her for 2022 and the cameos in the movie as a forward reference. Also: Something funny is that they casted Voldemort's actor as Alfred but used an impersonator for the actual Voldemort.

[@d-manthecaptain1382]

18:40 That's not a shark guy, that's a whale woman.

This is the first video I've seen of yours. And I love your editing style - so many channels show the clip and then switch to the reaction, but I like your fluid style of showing a tiny part (or necessary clip) and then going to the reaction while keeping the audio going. Cuz like, imo, people should watch reactions of media they've seen, they don't need the whole movie in a reaction. Awesome

[@nathanielreik6617]

43:03 yeah those are the Daleks from Dr. Who, one of the biggest enemies from that series. They're probably also the most recognizable, attempting to get as many people to recognize the reference as possible.

[@petertownsend9148]

If you liked this movie I think you’d also really like “Holy Musical B@man!”. It’s a Batman parody musical that has A LOT of similarities with this movie despite coming out 5 years prior. It’s by a group called Team Starkid that makes original and parody musicals and posts them in their entirety for free here on KZbin!

[@arbington]

One of my friends and I took his kid sister to see this movie in theaters on a whim one day. Glad we did, it’s a good movie and I enjoyed it a lot. Ton of fun the whole way through.

[@supremedream1764]

Zoe Kravitz who played Selina Kyle/Cat Woman in The Batman(2022) also did the voice of the same character in this movie.

[@jhornacek]

Meg literally says this in the video.

[@spikejr3113jr]

46:10 actually it’s a reference to the 60s Batman Adam West TV show.

[@tylerbrown5526]

I'd guessed this movie would break you. I'm so glad I was right lol

[@terminatrix92]

Also I enjoy this characterisation of Batman, but Batman LITERALLY never gets over his issues. It’s why we have so many iterations of him. As much as I like the positive message of moving past trauma in this film the problem with comic characters is they have to revert back to their original mould. That’s LITERALLY how this Batman came back in LEGO Movie 2

[@marbase1son]

[@PuccaLover15]

I went to see this in theaters with my best friend and was already dying before it even started. 2 seconds in and I was already laughing🤣 I saw the animated series only a few years ago (2003 Batman was the one I grew up watching) and really did like it. A geek group I’m in always praises Mark Hamill as the Joker, I was curious, and ended up watching the series. Finally got to meet the Mad Hatter, loved Mark as Joker, Harley and Poison Ivy were awesome, huge respect for Kevin (rip), and I got a good laugh at all the 90’s stuff (born in 96, so I didn’t get to experience much haha) If you love Bat-family stuff, you need to watch Batman: Wayne Family Adventure. It has all of the Bat-kids, Bruce being the best dad to all of them, the kids being total siblings, Alfred being an awesome grandfather to them, and kicking bad guy butt as a family.

[@pricemoore2022]

Awesome reaction of my favorite Lego Movie!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊

[@PrixtoTNT]

13:48 I did not remember that a version of Man In The Mirror played in this LMAO. It's also funny cause I always thought that Main In The Mirror was the perfect theme for the end of a movie or game in which the main character changes for the better, and it turns out it already happened in a movie I watched before even having listened to Main In The Mirror for the first time. Crazy

[@milkiassamuel780]

This is probably the only movie where Batman in love with Barbara isn't gross and weird since they're both legally adults. Nevertheless Im still not a fan of the ship in other media and adaptations

[@Guaseth]

I love this movie, a silly thing about it is that this is probably the most "lore-heavy" adaption of Batman yet (tbf it references so much of other adaptions as well) and I doubt it can ever be topped, not even by the Harley Quinn show which is also amazing at that.

I went into this, having played the Arkham games and watched The Animated Series (along with the Dark Knight trilogy) thinking it was going to be a fun enough time but probably also kind of immature and stupid in a way I wouldn't like. It turned out to be immature and stupid in a way that I absolutely *LOVE!* Not even a minute in and I was already struggling to avoid cackling in the cinema! But at the same time it's also this meta-referential love letter to everything Batman is and has been over all these years?! Masterful, simply masterful. And *THEN* they go full Lego Multiverse and put Sauron, Agent Smith, and the freaking Daleks (the "british robots" - incidentally you should totally watch Doctor Who, it's the best show in the universe!) in there?!?

[@Swenglish]

The British Robots were clearly meant to be Daleks, but I'm guessing the Terry Nation estate said no, so they went for fair use parody instead and called them robots (which Daleks aren't) and changed the voices.

to be fair Jesse Eisenberg is kind of like if Michael Cera got a Super Mushroom from Mario

[@residentfan1521]

If you’re ever interested in a movie about a hero falling in love with the villain as he chases him like Batman and Joker, there’s a movie from 1991 called Point Break. It stars Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze and it’s probably the gayest two characters have been without ever saying it. Y’know because it’s 1991 so it’s not gonna be told to you that they’re in love but it’s HEAVILY implied. LOTS of subtext. If you do check it out, do the original, not the remake from 2015.
