When I went to see this movie with my Dad, I was not expecting much. I really had no plans to see an animated movie in theaters in 2017 (with the exception of Cars 3 because of the teaser trailer). Within the logos alone I knew that this would be a great time. You can tell a movie is awesome when you are laughing before any part of the plot has even been shown. This movie is a humorous, emotional, sad, joyful movie that you will want to cheer at. This was my first Batman movie I had ever seen, and yet I understood all of the references. The Joker is one of the best characters I have seen in a while. His relationship with Batman is a comical and sad. I relate to him, which I would never have guessed. He just wants to hear Batman admit that they have something special. Robin is a hilarious little kid with a heart of gold who just wants to live up to the expectations of his surrogate father. He listens to everything Batman says and takes it to heart. Batman's stern demeanor makes him cold, but he never comes off as a bad guy. He has just built up a wall around his heart, and when he opens it up, he is afraid to lose the people he learned to love. His advances are wrong, and you know it, but you can tell he just can't experience any more heartbreak. Alfred is a funny and lovable butler with some of the funniest parts of the movie. When Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror" song is used, it melted my heart. This movie is one of the fondest memories of going to the movie theater with my dad I have had in recent memory. It is a blast.
This is the best animated movie (in my mind) of 2017 (which includes Coco). It was truly a shame when Boss Baby and Ferdinand were nominated for the Oscar in place of this. The LEGO Batman Movie is comedy platinum.
