Lego DC: Batman - Familienangelegenheiten

LEGO DC Batman: Family Matters (2019) is a movie I recently watched on HBOMAX. The storyline follows a villain known as Red Hood who wants to tear apart Batman and his friends - Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl and Alfred. Red Hood will be aided by Two-Face, Scarecrow and other legendary villains. Can Batman and team stop this mysterious villain? This movie is directed by Matt Peters (Lego DC: Aquaman) and contains the voices of Tara Strong (Loki), Christian Lanz (Coco), Troy Baker (Batman: The Long Halloween), Tom Kenny (Transformers) and Jason Spisak (Piranha 3D). The storyline for this is very entertaining and does a great job of delivering Red Hood while mixing in other key members of the Batman universe. The animation is excellent as is the dialogue. The fight scenes are awesome and I loved how the Scarecrow was depicted. The Bruce Wayne vs Batman conclusion was also clever and well executed. Overall this is an entertaining film worth your time that I would score a solid 6.5-7/10.

After being bored with a board meeting after stopping Solomon Grundy from stealing a magic staff, Bruce Wayne puts a new machine revealed, Brother Eye, in charge, as he proceeds to sell Wayne Tech. However, this leads to Two-Face buying the company, and plotting to use Brother Eye to take other Gotham and destroy both Batman and Bruce Wayne. Also, Red Hood has arrived to challenge the Bat Family.

While some people may not like this, this is actually a good film for kids who are not yet ready for films like the ones in the DCEU or the Dark Knight Trilogy. As a result of this being a Lego DC movie, they did change Red Hood's origin story to be more kid-friendly, however, seeing as the Lego DC films are part of their own continuity, it should not be a problem. Also, the movie has some good references to classic Batman shows and cartoons (one scene has the bat poles from the 1966 Batman series, complete with automatic suit up, and another scene has a Grey Ghost playing as Batman and Two-Face duel with swords, a neat reference to the episode from Batman: The Animated Series).

However, there can be some annoying things (Nightwing and Batgirl keep bringing up a missed text that got them on non-speaking terms, which they never shut up about), but this is a good DTV movie and one that is perfect for younger kids or anyone into Lego or superheroes.

If you an adult hoping this will keep your attention, it's a LEGO movie... you should know what to expect. It's appropriate for my 9 yr old and that's about all that matters.

Batman is tired of being Bruce Wayne and going to the boardroom. He wants to concentrate on the crime fighting action. He wants to sell his company. Red Hood has a scheme against the Bat family and Two-Face is somehow his second banana. Two-Face is frustrated. When he sees that Wayne Enterprises is up for sale, he comes up with his own villainous plot.

This is an animated DC TV movie. It's fine. I want it to be funnier. The selling concept has some comedic potential. I don't think that they squeezed all the juice out of that comedic fruit. I care a lot less about the action. This is fine.

Stunning CGI but it's just for kids. I liked the other one better. This one couldn't hold my attention for too long. But it's very well made!
