SuitabookLEGO Batman the movie
Jon Burton, David A. Goodman
- Reading
- If watching together, pause after Batman turns to Superman for help and discuss what makes accepting support difficult; then let the film’s ending shape any further conversation.
- Themes
- Fear and political power: Lex decides to run for President and recruits the Joker to advance his fear-based politics. Fear is explicitly part of Lex’s political strategy, but the story’s wider judgement of that strategy is not established.
- Accepting help: After Lex destroys Batman’s technology, Batman reluctantly turns to Superman, and multiple heroes join the effort to save Gotham. The plot makes co-operation part of the response to danger, but does not establish how the film evaluates it.
- Worth knowing
- The conflict includes a ray that wreaks havoc and a threat to Gotham’s destruction. Consider whether this kind of superhero peril suits your family’s viewing preferences.
