Short description
A cooler-than-ever Batman must face the usual villains as the Joker plots a takeover of Gotham City. But when Bruce Wayne accidentally adopts a teenage orphan who wishes to become his sidekick, he’s forced to give up his lone-vigilante ways and learn to work with others.
What's left behind the scenes
- A spin-off of the animated film "The Lego Movie" (Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, 2014).
- This is Rosario Dawson's fourth animated film role. She has previously voiced characters in "Wonder Woman" (Lauren Montgomery, 2009), "Justice League: Throne of Atlantis" (Ethan Spalding, 2015), and "Justice League vs. Teen Titans" (Sam Liu, 2016).
- Before the action scene, Batman says: "Want to get crazy? No problem. Let's do it!". Bruce Wayne, played by Michael Keaton, uttered these exact words to the Joker in Tim Burton's "Batman" (1989).
- A few days before the film's release, the cable channel The CW Television Network aired a commercial featuring Lego figures of the superheroes Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl, voiced by Stephen Amell, Grant Gustin, and Melissa Benoist.
- A cinema marquee in Gotham displays an advertisement for the film "Fifty Shades Darker". In the US, James Foley's melodrama "Fifty Shades Darker" was released in theaters the same weekend.
- This is the second animated Batman film featuring Conan O'Brien's voice acting. The first was "The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2" (Jay Oliva, 2013).
- At the beginning of the film, an airplane belonging to McGuffin Airlines is shown. In cinema and literature, "McGuffin" is a name given to inanimate objects or even characters that are very important to the characters in a work, but whose function or actions do not play a special role in the development of the plot.
- In one episode, the Joker says his plan is “This isn’t a ferryboat trick.” This is a reference to the superhero action film *The Dark Knight* (Christopher Nolan, 2008), in which the Joker plants explosives on two passenger ferries.
- Mindy Kaling was considered for the voice acting role of Harley Quinn.
- Ralph Fiennes became the third British actor nominated for an Oscar for playing or voicing Alfred Pennyworth. Before Fiennes, this character was played by Michael Caine in Nolan's film trilogy and Jeremy Irons in Zack Snyder's superhero fantasy action film "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" (2016).
- Batman’s maniacal laughter is performed by director Chris McKay. It was recorded temporarily until the laughter of Canadian actor Will Arnett was recorded, however the director’s laughter ultimately remained in the final version of the film.
- In the French version of the cartoon, Superman and Flash are voiced by famous French national team football players: Antoine Griezmann and Blaise Matuidi.
- The Joker's line "You should look it up on Google" is a reference to the film "The Campaign" (Jay Roach, 2012). The Joker was voiced by Zach Galifianakis, who played one of the main roles in Roach's comedy.
- This is the first work by director Chris McKay created for theatrical release.
- Billy Dee Williams voices the villain Two-Face in this film. In Tim Burton's superhero film "Batman" (1989), the actor played Harvey Dent, Two-Face's alter ego. Williams Jr. dreamed of reprising the role in "Batman Forever" (1995), but Joel Schumacher became the director and chose Tommy Lee Jones for the part.
- Morgan Freeman, who starred in Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" trilogy (2005, 2008, 2012) and the computer-animated action comedy "The Lego Movie" (2014) by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, named his portrayal of the main character in "The Lego Batman Movie" his favorite.
- Initially, Guillermo del Toro and Steve Buscemi were the main contenders for voicing Bane and the Joker, respectively.
