Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: Batman Be-Leaguered

Superman is trying to recruit Batman into the Justice League. The bitter loner Batman refuses due to his mistrust of the superpowered alien. Somehow the superheroes are disappearing one by one. They've been kidnapped by Bat-Mite who is setting an elaborate apparatus to destroy the Justice League and forcing Batman to save them.

This follows the first Lego movie. I love the relationship between Batman and Superman. They have a fun scene but the situation pulls them apart. I'd prefer them as an unwilling buddy cop combo for the entire episode. Instead, the villain is Bat-Mite and his silliness saps away the satirical take of the superhero genre. Bat-Mite is a ridiculous fan boy and a satirical take himself. He may work to take the tar out of a serious Batman story. The only way to make Bat-Mite work in this may be to concentrate on his irrelevance. Opening the door is a good start but his whole story needs to be that. Like I said, this should be a comedy duo with Batman and Superman where Batman is pissed whenever Superman gets the bad guy easily and quickly. Their banter is the all and everything that this should be.

Lego DC Comics: Batman Be-Leaguered (2014) is a Lego DC animated short film about Batman not joining the Justice League and it was awesome.

Positives for Lego DC Comics: Batman Be-Leaguered (2014): This short film does am not excellent job at taking its story and condensing it into a short runtime. I like the arc of Batman being a lone superhero and wanting no part in the Justice League. The voice cast does a great job with their performances. The comedy is excellent and it made me smile. The action sequences are very entertaining. And finally, the last scene of this short film was really funny.

Negatives for Lego DC Comics: Batman Be-Leaguered (2014): Bat-Mite being revealed as the mastermind who kidnapped the Justice League was really dumb.

Overall, Lego DC Comics: Batman Be-Leaguered (2014) was an excellent short film with the DC superheroes in Lego form and I would definitely rewatch this in the future.

What a interesting short featuring the DC Comics Heroes and Villains in the form of Lego.

Yes Lego DC Comics: Batman Be-Leaguered features Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, The Flash and Aquaman for the villains we get Man-Bat,The Joker, Lex Luthor, Penguin, Black Manta and Captain Cold

Taking into account that Lego movies and video games are meant to target an younger crowd I had to accept the humor and the idea of Lego blocks and such for this short film. Now the humor in this film has it ups and downs there were some jokes that gave good laughs some just make you go okay

The animation in the film is pretty good and the Lego blocks make for some interesting ideas.I enjoy the idea behind this short film

The voice acting is pretty entertaining with the cast being Dee Bradley Baker,Troy Baker,John DiMaggio,Grey Griffin,Tom Kenny,Nolan North,Khary Payton,James Arnold Taylor,Kevin Michael Richardson they make some funny and good voice work.

Overall this was a good short and if you're a DC or Lego fan it would be a winner for you however just keep in mind some of the humor won't make sense but the film should be fun to watch

I give Lego DC Comics:Batman Be-Leaguered an 7 out of 10

I loved this one, always very fun, and always Batman being Batman, self-centered and with an air of superiority, almost always a bore, kkkk, but here at least the ironic jokes were accurate and fun, the unsmiling bat man didn't hinder...

At half the length this TV special manages to be better than the Bizarro movie. Opening in Gotham City we find Batman tackling the Penguin and the Joker in a jewel heist when Supes shows up and offers him a part in the new Justice League. Batman refuses and somehow Supes is teleported away by a mysterious entity. While investigating with the rest of the League they too disappear one at a time until Batman confronts the real villain.

The locations and models featured are fun, but I do believe that Batman has always worked better as a loner and doesn't gel with the rest of the shared DC universe due to the inconsistent tones.

Composer Tim Kelly could have made this felt a bit more cohesive by using the familiar themes but once again he just gives us a cartoon score.

Definitely worth watching, if unremarkable.
