When Commissioner Gordon retires and his title falls to his daughter, Barbara Gordon, Bruce Wayne is torn between his immediate romantic interest in Gordon and his I-only-work-alone vigilante code that prevents him from getting too close. The Lego Batman Movie focuses on Batman’s lonely and isolated lifestyle, pitching him as a childish millionaire who never really grew up or get over the death of his parents. Ironically, the “just get through the inevitable action to save the day” third act problem we see in so many super hero films is still present in this one.

The film’s first 30 minutes are full of gags and pop culture references that easily match the wit of the film’s predecessor, but the last hour focuses almost solely on various aspects of fighting, be it in a car, on a ship, or in person. I’m not sure I’d say The Lego Batman Movie is a case of “too much of a good thing,” but it certainly struggles for putting such a good supporting character front and center. Batman was a scene-stealer and constant bolt of energy with a complete lack of self-awareness, essentially a parody of the repeated iterations we’ve seen of the world’s greatest detective on screen. After co-writers and directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller came out of nowhere to make The Lego Movie a surprising hit in 2014, it only made sense that Will Arnett’s voiced Batman would be the appropriate follow-up film in the franchise.
