The LEGO Batman Movie 2017

As the cinematic canvas unfolds, we find ourselves soaring above Gotham City, where two trusted pilot companions are transporting an unprecedented quantity of explosives. However, their aerial adventure takes an ominous turn as they’re hijacked by the Clown Prince of Chaos himself, The Joker (Zach Galifianakis), and his cohorts. Meanwhile, across the city, a rogue’s gallery of notorious ne’er-do-wells, including Harley Quinn (Jenny Slate), Two-Face (Billy Dee Williams), The Riddler (Conan O’Brien), Scarecrow (Jason Mantzoukas), Catwoman (Zoe Kravitz), Poison Ivy (Riki Lindhome), Clayface (Kate Micucci), Bane (Doug Benson), Mr. Freeze, The Penguin, and a few C-list villains like Calendar Man, Gentleman Ghost, and Condiment King, are unleashed upon Gotham’s unsuspecting populace.

As the city teeters on the brink of chaos, Commissioner Jim Gordon (Hector Elizondo) frantically attempts to summon Batman (Will Arnett) using the Bat-signal, but the sinister forces of Eggman have maliciously jammed it. Undeterred, Jim and Chief O’Hara spring into action as the villains run amok, wreaking havoc throughout Gotham. In a last-ditch effort to salvage the situation, Commissioner Gordon meets with Mayor McCaskill (Mariah Carey) before she’s airlifted to the central core, where the diabolical Joker has Killer Croc plant a bomb that would annihilate Gotham and plunge it into an abyss.

As the clock ticks down, Batman’s trusted allies are left scrambling to contain the mayhem. With time running out, Commissioner Gordon and Chief O’Hara converge on the heart of the city, determined to put an end to the chaos. Meanwhile, amidst the bedlam, the enigmatic Mayor McCaskill is revealed to be none other than Batman himself, cunningly disguised in a clever ruse.

With his true identity exposed, Batman sets out to single-handedly take down each villain, effortlessly dispatching them with his trademark acrobatic prowess. As he closes in on The Joker, the Clown Prince taunts him, claiming to be his greatest foe. However, Batman remains unfazed, dismissing The Joker’s boasts and emphasizing that nobody, including himself, means anything to him.

With the bomb still ticking away, Batman seizes the opportunity to defuse it, saving Gotham from certain destruction. As the city erupts in jubilation at his heroics, Batman retreats to his private island sanctuary, where he spends his downtime indulging in leftover lobster thermidor and cackling maniacally during a screening of “Jerry Maguire”.

As he gazes upon a poignant portrait of himself as a child with his parents on the fateful night they met their untimely demise, Batman’s emotions begin to surface. He addresses the portrait, expressing his conviction that his parents would be proud of his selfless heroism.

However, his introspective moment is abruptly interrupted by Alfred (Ralph Fiennes), who stumbles upon Batman’s reverie. In a moment of absent-mindedness, Batman inadvertently dropkicks Alfred into the piano, prompting an apology and a sheepish grin.

As the tension dissipates, Alfred astutely observes that Batman is going through one of his phases, struggling with the existential weight of being a superhero and the prospect of having another family. He gently reminds Batman about the gala planned for Jim Gordon’s retirement, which Batman reluctantly agrees to attend, still grappling with the complexities of his dual identity.

As Bruce Wayne navigates the opulent halls of a high-stakes gala, his attention is drawn to a broadcast that reveals Superman’s daring capture of General Zod and subsequent imprisonment in the Phantom Zone. Meanwhile, in his lair, the Joker (ever scheming) is enthralled by the same report alongside Harley Quinn. The Clown Prince of Crime’s eyes gleam with mischief as he contemplates the implications - namely, the presence of infamous villains from beyond Gotham City’s borders, now contained within the Phantom Zone. This epiphany sparks a new plan, and Joker sets his twisted wheels in motion.

As Bruce Wayne is approached by a charming young orphan named Dick Grayson (his eyes lingering on the boy’s hopeful expression), he is suddenly distracted by the arrival of Commissioner Jim’s daughter Barbara Gordon (Rosario Dawson). With a radiant smile, she presents her bold vision: merging the police force with Batman to combat Gotham City’s pervasive crime problem. Bruce’s skepticism is palpable as he listens to her proposal, his thoughts elsewhere.

Just then, the gala is interrupted by Joker and his motley crew of villains. Bruce swiftly transforms into the Caped Crusader, constructing a makeshift vehicle in record time while Barbara Gordon attempts to confront Joker with her own brand of bravery. In a stunning turn of events, Joker surrenders himself and his cohorts (excluding Harley Quinn) to the authorities, leaving Gotham’s worst behind bars and Barbara basking in the glory of her triumph.

As Batman continues to patrol Arkham Asylum, he detects a van emblazoned with the logo “Phantom’s Own Laundry Service,” driven by none other than Harley Quinn. His instincts scream that something is amiss, but Barbara Gordon intervenes, cautioning him to let the police handle the situation, as she has grown accustomed to overseeing the city’s justice.

In the midst of his crusade against chaos, Bruce Wayne, aka Batman (Christian Bale), finds himself at a crossroads within the confines of Wayne Manor. His trusted butler, Alfred, has cleverly implemented parental controls on the computer, restricting access to Joker’s nefarious plans. The stalwart butler suggests that Batman spend quality time with his newly adopted ward, Dick Grayson, whom he had taken under his wing just a week prior. Initially resistant, Batman is eventually coaxed into engaging with the young boy by Alfred’s deliberate ploy. As they converge in the Batcave, Dick discovers the shocking truth: one of his new fathers is none other than the Caped Crusader himself.

Meanwhile, Batman concocts a plan to contain the Joker within the Phantom Zone, but this endeavor requires the theft of the Phantom Zone Projector, housed within Superman’s Fortress of Solitude. When the computer assesses Batman as being too physically imposing to fit through the vents leading to the Projector, he seizes upon an opportunity for Dick to join him on this mission. The young boy rummages through Batman’s costume collection, ultimately settling on the “Reggae Man” getup and adopting the moniker Robin.

As the Dynamic Duo arrives at the Fortress of Solitude, they find themselves at odds with a surprise party thrown by Superman (Henry Cavill) and the Justice League - comprising Green Lantern (Jonah Hill), Flash (Adam Devine), Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, and the Wonder Twins. Batman’s attempt to join the celebration is met with cold shoulders, prompting him to slip away unnoticed. Just as he does, Robin successfully navigates the complex security system to retrieve the Projector.

Batman and his newfound sidekick, Robin, make their way to Arkham Asylum to confront the Joker (Joaquin Phoenix). Barbara Gordon, aka Batgirl, intercepts them and guides them through the facility’s security measures. When Robin is caught attempting to smuggle the Projector, they engage in a brief but intense struggle with the guards before making a daring escape to reach Joker’s cell.

As expected, Batman confronts the Joker, unleashing a swift and decisive attack that culminates with the villain being sent into the Phantom Zone. In this climactic moment, Batman’s pride momentarily wavers, hinting at a nascent sense of paternal affection for his young protégé, Robin.

As Joker meanders through the Phantom Zone, he crosses paths with Phyllis (Ellie Kemper), a wisecracking sentient brick who serves as gatekeeper of this realm. After a thorough scan, she allows him to mingle with a motley crew of infamous villains, including Lord Voldemort (Eddie Izzard), Sauron (Jemaine Clement), King Kong (Seth Green), The Kraken, Jaws, Agent Smith, Dracula, Medusa, The Wicked Witch of the West, and the Daleks. Joker regales these rogues with a plan to liberate them from their eternal confinement, and they eagerly await his proposed escape strategy.

Meanwhile, back in Arkham Asylum, Harley Quinn (not specified) pilfers the Projector and uses it to conjure up every last villain. Joker unleashes this army of chaos upon the unsuspecting city, unleashing a maelstrom of mayhem as Sauron brings forth rivers of molten lava, Voldemort transforms innocent civilians into beasts, and King Kong wreaks havoc on the urban landscape.

As Batman (Robert Pattinson) languishes in Arkham’s cells, he implores Barbara Gordon to grant him freedom so that he can rescue the city from this anarchy. Though initially hesitant, she eventually agrees on one condition: she gets to join forces with Batman and help quell the chaos. Reluctantly, Batman acquiesces, and together they’re joined by Robin (not specified) and Alfred Pennyworth (Andy Serkis), who somehow manages to navigate from Wayne Manor to Arkham’s cells unscathed.

The trio takes to the skies in the Batwing, endeavoring to track down Joker as Sauron fixates his gaze on Batman. Joker, meanwhile, has discovered Batman’s stash of romantic comedies at Wayne Manor, much to his amusement.

As the chaos escalates, the Gremlins begin to wreak havoc on the Batwing, prompting Batman to jump ship and leave the aircraft on autopilot with a rope tied to the controls. Robin and Alfred join forces to take down these pesky creatures, but not before Robin takes an ill-advised tumble from the aircraft. Batman leaps into action, rescuing his young ward from certain doom. Meanwhile, Alfred narrowly avoids disaster when Barbara commandeers the Batwing and swoops in to save him.

Batman then concocts a plan to outmaneuver Sauron’s gaze, ordering Barbara to pilot the Batwing toward this malevolent entity just as the Kraken unleashes a fiery blast at the aircraft. With impeccable timing, Barbara expertly steers the Batwing away from harm, inadvertently causing Sauron to meet his demise and severing Joker’s connection to Batman.

As the heroes of Wayne Island revel in their camaraderie, Robin (actor name) snaps a triumphant selfie with his new allies, unwittingly striking a chord within the brooding Dark Knight. Meanwhile, the rest of the trio ventures into the Batwing to replenish their arsenal, only to find themselves locked in by Batman’s cunning hand. The Caped Crusader dispatches them via computer to the Gotham-Bludhaven border, intent on shielding his friends and confronting Joker alone.

Batman arrives at the Clown Prince of Crime’s lair, surrounded by a veritable army of villains. The Joker’s only desire is for Batman to confess that he hates him, considering him his greatest nemesis; however, the Dark Knight remains resolute, refusing to acknowledge their twisted dynamic. In response, Joker activates the Projector, banishing Batman to the Phantom Zone.

In this desolate realm, Batman encounters Phyllis, a spectral presence who subjects him to a harsh critique. While acknowledging that he’s not inherently evil, she points out that his actions have caused harm to those around him. The revelation prompts Batman to confront his motivations: a deep-seated fear of being hurt again. He proposes a deal with Phyllis: in exchange for her help, he’ll bring back the villains released by the Projector.

Meanwhile, Batman’s computer, anticipating its master’s vulnerability, overrides his commands and dispatches Robin (actor name), Barbara, and Alfred back to Wayne Island to face off against Joker’s minions. As the heroes begin their battle, Batman is transported back to Gotham, where he apologizes for his deception and seeks aid not only from his friends but also from the very enemies he’s been trying to thwart.

In a surprising turn of events, Batman bestows upon Barbara her own Bat-inspired suit, dubbing her “Batgirl.” United against their common foes, the team gradually sends Joker’s villains back to the Phantom Zone. However, just as they think they’ve prevailed, the earlier-mentioned bomb detonates, threatening to tear the city apart.

In a desperate bid to salvage the situation, Batman and his allies form an unbroken chain using their bodies to pull the city back together, joined by its beleaguered citizens. Though this Herculean effort almost succeeds, it ultimately proves insufficient. Recognizing that he must swallow his pride, Batman turns to Joker for assistance.

In a poignant moment of mutual understanding, Batman confesses that Joker is indeed his greatest enemy – not because of their twisted rivalry but due to the fact that they need each other to save Gotham from destruction. Joker’s expression softens, and together, they manage to repair the city’s fractured fabric, cementing an uneasy alliance between two sworn enemies.

As Bruce Wayne (Bruce Wayne) concludes his monumental mission to rescue the city from certain doom, he must fulfill the terms of his Faustian bargain with Phyllis and return to the mystical realm known as the Phantom Zone. However, before departing, he reveals his true identity to Robin, finally embracing him as a son in a poignant moment of paternal acceptance. The two share an emotional goodbye as Batman ascends into the unknown, only to be thwarted by an unexpected barrier. Phyllis reappears, her eyes filled with newfound understanding and compassion, and presents Bruce with an extraordinary opportunity: she has witnessed his transformation from selfless hero to devoted guardian, and decides to grant him permission to stay among his friends.

As the curtain closes on this chapter of Batman’s life, he parts ways with his arch-nemesis, Joker (actor name), who sets off into the sunset with his cohorts in crime. With a 30-minute head start, Batman assembles his team and prepares to track down the rogue gallery, determined to put an end to their nefarious plans.

With his newfound family by his side, including Robin, Barbara Gordon, and Alfred, Batman finds himself surrounded by love, support, and camaraderie. As he gazes upon a cherished family photo in his personal space, a new era of unity and cooperation dawns on the city of Gotham.

The credits roll to the sweet serenade of Robin’s original composition, as Batman and his entourage come together to harmonize in a heartwarming celebration of their newfound bond.
