Minor Leagues — Justice League Review
Family Matters — The LEGO Batman Movie Review
On a technical level, the film's animation is stellar. The pacing is swift, the action is thick, and the lines are incredibly funny. I read a headline the other day that LEGO Batman has the best plot of any Batman movie ever, and I'm inclined to agree.
Batman #2 Review
Gotham and Gotham Girl have Batman's respect, but do they have the chops to take over when he's gone?
