What separates “The Lego Batman Movie” from the dozen-plus “Batman” movies before it is its boldness. More pastiche than parody, this is a film that revels in being a Batman movie — absurdity and all. There are direct references to every major Batman incarnation from the past 78 years, as well as appearances by Batman villains ranging from Catwoman and Two-Face, (finally played by Billy Dee Williams) to Zebra-Man and Condiment King. Even still, the movie manages to have an identity distinctly its own. This movie is less of a traditional superhero story than it is a relationship comedy. More than stopping the Joker’s plot, Batman’s struggle is about acknowledging the role other people play in his life and opening himself up to them.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
