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.

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

This is a cute short Lego film where Batman is being too proud to join the justice league because he feels better on his own. I can relate to this because when too many pieces of a team come together, we all want to be chiefs instead of one chief and rest of the team as an Indian of many. Or we'd rather be boss over each other. This place will never stop the power struggle over each other and tend to our own future businesses in the present moment. One team, one future for me. To live and to let all others who aren't choosing life on purpose every day, to die of their own free will/choice. Movies prove a lot of points and if we can find one common mission or goal between us, we'd all be living in our own freedom of choice (which is free will). In the end, does Batman chose to stay on his own or does he join the justice league? You'll have to see for yourself. Will you be on your own, or part of a larger team, working together for the common good of each other? Just like another reviewer says that Batman is typically better off alone because of the inconsistencies and the fact that he doesn't really gel all that well with the DC Universe. I am a batman in many way because I'm better off alone and left to my own imaginations of what my future might entail. Be the boss of your own imaginations. It might be the only way to deal with this kind of place.

While fighting crime in Gotham City, Batman is visited by Superman, who invites him to join the Justice League. Being the hero who prefers to work alone, Batman refuses, but when news breaks of Superman having mysteriously vanished, Batman decides he has no choice but to team up with other heroes to find clues. However, they start to disappear, along with some valuables, this leads Batman to the greatest mystery he has to face.

This is a good TV short. Batman teams up with a different member of the Justice League in his search for clues, leading to helping each one battle a supervillain related to him. Also, the action is okay, even though it is short, but the mystery is what makes it interesting, as the supervillain causing the heroes to disappear will surprise you. Plus, the voice acting is good, Worth watching.

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.

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...

Be-Leaguered was the start of the Lego DC universe and unlike it's following feature length movies only stands at around 20 minutes.

It's a quick story about the Justice League trying to recruit Batman into their ranks but him refusing. But when the Justice League members get kidnapped one by one he jumps into action.

Alike the others it's dumb, its dumb and its aimed primarily at tykes.

What makes this one particularly bad is how pathetic it makes the DC villians and the identity of the real antagonist, it would have been less dumb if it were Howard The Duck.

Only for big fans of Lego DC.

The Good:

I liked the bit where it ended

The Bad:

Dumb payoff

Childish

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

I'm getting really burnt out on these Lego DC movies!

Batman should never laugh, it chills me to my very soul

I was expecting a small children only movie. Or some other silly experience like Lego Elves. And this is a nicely done short movie with super heroes. Also, I have enjoyed how things in the Lego universe don't die or burn, but only get separated into the composing lego bricks.
