Batman: I don't talk about feelings, Alfred. I don't have any, I've never seen one. I'm a night-stalking, crime-fighting vigilante, and a heavy metal rapping machine. I don't feel anything emotionally, except for rage. 24/7, 365, at a million percent. And if you think that there's something behind that, then you're crazy. Good night, Alfred. Alfred: Sir, it's morning. [clicks the remote, opening the curtains; the sunlight shines through the windows. Batman cringes] Batman: Hiss! Sun! Alfred: Master Bruce, you live on an island figuratively and literally. Batman: Yeah, I love it. Alfred: You can't spend the rest of your life alone dressed in black, listening to angry music, and staying up all night. Batman: Yes I can. 'Cause I'm Batman. Alfred: But don't you think it's time you finally faced your biggest fear? Batman: Snakes? Alfred: No. Batman: Clowns? Alfred: No. Batman: Snake-clowns? Alfred: Bruce, listen. Your greatest fear is being a part of a family again. [Batman looks at the family pictures] Batman: Nope, now it's Snake-clowns, because you put that idea in my head. Alfred: Sir- Batman: Time for push-ups! One! Two! I'm going to a thousand. Alfred: I'm afraid that's not possible, sir. Batman: It is possible. I'm already at twenty. Alfred: You're scheduled to go to Jim Gordon's retirement party. Batman: What? No! I don't wanna do that! Alfred: You're going to have a good time. Batman: No, no, no, no! Alfred: You might meet some new people. Batman: No, no, no, no! Alfred: Even make some new friends. Batman: No, no, no, no! No, no, no, no! [to the tune of the Adam West theme song] No-no, no-no, no-no, no-no! [beatboxes] No!! Alfred: And before you go, we could do your favourite thing. Batman: [gasps] Tuxedo dress-up party! Robin: My name's Richard Grayson, but the kids at the orphanage call me Dick. Bruce Wayne: Well, children can be cruel. Barbara: It is my dream for the Police Force to someday team up with Batman! Bruce Wayne: I hate everything you just said. Barbara: Batman has been on the job for a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, long time. Bruce Wayne: He has aged phenomenally. Robin: Wait, does Batman live in Bruce Wayne's basement? Batman: No, Bruce Wayne lives in Batman's attic! Batman: Sometimes, in order to right a wrong, you have to do a wrong-right. Robin: Did Gandhi really say that? Batman: I'm paraphrasing. Batgirl: Batman! Why'd you build these thing with only one seat? Batman: Uh, because last I checked I only had one butt. Joker: I've got a surprise for you guys! And it's gonna make you smile! Batman: Uh-oh! His smile is our grimace!

(At Joker Manor. )

The Joker is the main antagonist of The LEGO Batman Movie. The self-proclaimed arch-nemesis of Batman, he sought to prove his status by destroying Gotham City on multiple occasions. After the Dark Knight refused to acknowledge his status during one confrontation, Joker enacted a grander scheme that utilized various villains from the Phantom Zone.

Biography

The LEGO Batman Movie

Assembling many of Gotham's supervillains and criminals, the Joker lead an attack on a plane transporting explosives. As his allies took over the Gotham Nuclear Plant, he released a threat to destroy the city, demanding Mayor McCaskill as a hostage. Unbeknownst to him, the Mayor was actually Batman, who defeated many of his allies easily. As Joker attempted to escape, Batman used grappling hooks to keep him captured. As he gloated about being Batman's "Greatest Enemy", Batman rejected the claims and let him escape to disable the bomb.

Retreating to his lair, a frustrated Joker lamented about how Batman wouldn't respect him as a villain and how incompetent his allies were. Watching a report about Superman's banishment of General Zod to the Phantom Zone, Joker was inspired by the number of villains housed there and made plans to break them out. Joker lead the villains, with the exception of Harley Quinn, to attack Commissioner Gordon's retirement party. To many peoples' surprise, including the villains, Joker surrendered to Gordon and helped capture his allies, sparking suspicion in Batman.

Committed to Arkham Asylum, Joker appeared to stay put and not attempt a breakout, putting Batman in a deep depression. After being subtly suggested to imprison him in the Phantom Zone, the Dark Knight, with the assistance of his ward Dick Grayson , stole a projector from Superman's Fortress of Solitude. Breaking into the asylum, Batman confronted Joker in his cell and used the device on the Clown Prince of Crime. Committed to the realm, Joker met the prisoners and rallied them to attack Gotham to prove to Batman the lengths of his villainy. Released by Harley Quinn, Joker attacked the city with his army of villains. Locating the Batcave at Wayne Island, he took over it and the Manor as his base of operations, oblivious that Batman's true identity was Bruce Wayne.

When Batman arrives to confront Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime tried to get him to admit that he was the hero's greatest enemy. However, the hero refused to acknowledge him as such, despite the chaos and destruction he had brought to both Gotham and his base. Finally exasperated, Joker realized that Batman was actually his own greatest enemy and banished the Dark Knight to the Phantom Zone. Collecting the cache of confiscated bombs from the Batcave, Joker attacked the Gotham Nuclear Facility with prisoners and prepared his bomb to destroy the city.

However, Batman was released from the Phantom Zone by its gatekeeper, Phyllis, and rallied his allies to battle Joker and the Phantom Zone prisoners. These included Gotham's supervillains, who had been abandoned at Arkham by the villain. Though able to re-imprison the Phantom Zone inmates, they were unable to disable the bombs in time, causing Gotham to begin to break apart.

Formulating a plant to reassemble it together, Batman reluctantly reached out to Joker to help him save the city, admitting that he truly is his greatest enemy. Finally getting the acknowledgement he desired, Joker helped rally the supervillains to help him reassemble the city whilst Batman convinced the citizens of Gotham to do so. In return for their help, he and the other supervillains were promised a 30-minute head start before Batman and the Bat-Family chased them down.

Personality

The Joker was extremely boastful, destructive, violent, traitorous, manipulative, sometimes sarcastic, and arrogant. He despises his acolytes for their incompetence against Batman. He also showed that he was very wounded by Batman when he told him that in his eyes he was nothing. However, this statement was later proven incorrect, as the hero revealed that he's the reason he still fights crime in the city.

He was voiced by Zach Galifianakis, who also played Humpty Alexander Dumpty in DreamWorks' Puss in Boots.

Biography

The LEGO Batman Movie

In the opening of the film, the Joker and his men hijack a plane containing several tons of explosives, planning on using them to destroy Gotham City. When the pilot of the plane doesn't believe that Joker's plan will work, based on the fact that's he's tried to destroy Gotham dozens of times and has always been defeated by Batman, Joker informs him that his plan will work this time as he's had his minions take over the Gotham Nuclear Plant, plant a bomb powerful enough to destroy the city on to it and had Egghead cover the Bat-signal in eggs to prevent Batman from arriving.

With Joker and his minions threatening to destroy Gotham and Batman not being able to help, Commissioner Gordon and the GCPD are forced to surrender the Mayor of Gotham to Joker and his henchmen, however, unknown to them, the Mayor was actually Batman in disguise. As Batman begins to effortlessly pummel his minions, Joker begins to become frustrated as they're making him look bad in front of him. As Joker's bomb begins to reach the end of its countdown, his minions abandon the plant and Joker uses his balloons to try and evade Batman, however, he grabs Joker with his grappling hook and uses another hook to hold them in place. When Joker refers to himself as his greatest enemy, Batman shuts Joker down and tells him that he means absolutely nothing to him and that Superman is a better arch-nemesis, despite him not even being a villain. Batman eventually lets the heart broken Joker go in order to defuse the bomb.

While in his lair, a frustrated Joker laments to Harley Quinn about how Batman doesn't respect him as a villain and how incompetent his minions are, all while watching an interview between Superman and Lois Lane. When Superman talks about how he was forced to imprison General Zod inside the Phantom Zone, he also mentions how the Zone has some of the evilest villains of all time housed inside it.

During Commissioner Gordon's retirement party, Joker and his minions arrive and Joker orders Mr. Freeze and Clayface to bring him the new commissioner, Barbara Gordon, all while Harley Quinn changes into her civilian identity of Harleen Quinzel. However, Barbara fights off Joker's minions and confronts him at the same time as Batman and Joker reveals that he actually wants to be arrested and go to jail for his crimes, to the surprise of everyone, including his minions. While Batman is in complete denial of Joker's willingness to be imprisoned, he insists he is serious and traps all of his minions inside a giant present box..

With Joker and all of the other villains in jail, Batman sinks into a depression and spies on him and the other inmates, believing them to be up to something. At this point, Joker has Harleen drive up to Arkham Asylum with a van for "Phantom Zone Laundry" and Batman is inspired to put Joker in the Phantom Zone to keep him from committing crimes for good.

After stealing the Phantom Zone Projector from the Fortress of Solitude, Batman and his adopted son Dick Grayson try to sneak it into Arkham, but are caught and are forced to fight through Arkham's security in order to get to Joker's cell. Batman confronts Joker and sends him to the Phantom Zone, but is arrested and locked in a cell shortly afterward.

Joker then happily descends into the Phantom Zone and, after being scanned for how evil he is by the Zone's gatekeeper Phyllis, Joker meets the other prisoners of the Phantom Zone: Voldemort, Sauron, King Kong, The Wicked Witch of the West and her Flying Monkeys, The Daleks, the Velociraptors and Tyrannosaurus Rex from Jurassic Park, Agent Smith , Kraken, The Swamp Creature, Medusa, Jaws, the Gremlins. Upon his arrival, the villains try to kill Joker, but he tells them all that he can get them out of the Phantom Zone and they agree to work for him in exchange. At that moment, Harley Quinn steals the Phantom Zone projector and sets it to release all of the villains entrapped in the zone. Upon doing this, Joker, as a giant face over the city, tells Gotham that he is going to take over the city with the help of real villains before unleashing them on the city.

Joker then has Sauron tell him the location of the Alfred evade his attacks, destroy Sauron and crash land on Joker Island, Batman has the Scutler take his friends away from the island so he can stop Joker without endangering them. After being caught by Joker and his minions, Joker tries to get him to admit that he is his most hated enemy, but Batman refuses. Finally exasperated, Joker tells Batman that his only real greatest enemy is himself and banished Batman to the Phantom Zone. Joker and his minions then leave the Island and prepare to use Joker's bomb to destroy the city.

Upon being released with the promise that he will return all the escaped criminals, Batman teams up with Dick, Barbara, and Alfred, along with all the villains who escaped from Arkham to take down Joker and his minions. After the Phantom Zone villains are re-imprisoned and the city is blown up by the bomb, Batman convinces Joker to help him save the city by admitting that he truly is his greatest enemy, in a very cute declaration. Upon saving the city, Joker and Batman's villains walk away as Batman gives them a 30-minute head start.

Personality

The Joker is extremely boastful, destructive, violent, traitorous, manipulative, sometimes sarcastic, and arrogant. He despises his acolytes for their incompetence against Batman. He also showed that he was very wounded by Batman when he told him that in his eyes he was nothing. But near the end of the movie, Batman says that he's the reason he still fights crime in the city.

Unlike most depictions of Joker, this one is slightly more vulnerable and sensitive. He feels attached to Batman and is disappointed when Batman tells him that he doesn't see anything special in their relationship. Still, he is still extremely manipulative and intelligent, as he managed to make up a pretty simple but effective plan that included manipulating Batman. Most of the time, he is pretty polite to Batman despite their rivalry. He is shown surprisingly to not like too much violence, as when in the Phantom Zone, when the others said to eat him, he told them to cut down the violence, and when Sauron asked to make the city streets run red with Batman's blood, he disapproved of that.

Appearance

The Joker has pale white skin, messy and spiky green hair, big eyebrows, wears red lipstick and has a mouth full of yellow shark-like teeth. He describes his body as "too much flab, not enough ab", implying that he may be chubby, though it's not visible since he is a standard LEGO minifigure. He usually wears an orange shirt, green tie with an orange skull pattern, purple striped vest with orange skull buttons, purple suit and purple bottom. He has heart and spades tattoos on his arms.

Upon his arrival, the villains try to kill Joker, but he tells them all that he can get them out of the Phantom Zone and they agree to work for him in exchange.

Upon doing this, Joker, as a giant face over the city, tells Gotham that he is going to take over the city with the help of real villains before unleashing them on the city.

Joker then has Sauron tell him the location of the Batcave and, after failing to realize that Bruce Wayne and Batman are the same person, he trashes the cave and converts Wayne Island into an amusement park. After Batman, Dick, Barbara Gordon and Alfred evade his attacks, destroy Sauron and crash land on Joker Island, Batman has the Scutler take his friends away from the island so he can stop Joker without endangering them. After being caught by Joker and his minions, Joker tries to get him to admit that he is his most hated enemy, but Batman refuses (When Joker says "I hate you", Batman heartlessly responds "Me too"). Finally exasperated, Joker tells Batman that his only real greatest enemy is himself and banished Batman to the Phantom Zone.

Personality

This incarnation of Joker is extremely boastful, destructive, violent, traitorous, manipulative, sometimes sarcastic, and arrogant. He despises his acolytes for their incompetence against Batman. He also showed that he was very wounded by Batman when he told him that in his eyes he was nothing. But near the end of the movie, Batman says that he's the reason he still fights crime in the city.

Unlike most versions, this Joker takes his desire to make Batman hate him to new levels. Unlike most of his other incarnations whom care as much about causing chaos, this Joker focuses on making Batman consider him a true foe to the point where he becomes angry when Bruce refuses. This trait, however, does make him somewhat sympathetic given how Batman disregards him and how it genuinely hurts Joker.

When Batman admitted to Jokers he is Batman’s greatest enemy, Joker teamed up with Batman and helped him save Gotham City. He was even happy when Batman didn’t have to stay in the Phantom Zone and was on much more friendly terms with Batman afterwards forming a love/hate relaonship with him. Joker wasn’t abusive to Harley Quinn and treated her like an actual girlfriend as well.

This article contains major The Lego Batman Movie spoilers.

Holy plastic building blocks, Batman! Almost everything really was awesome about The Lego Batman Movie. After years of dark nights and grim glares at other superheroes, the newest adventure of the Caped Crusader, as voiced by Will Arnett’s perfectly overdone gravel, was a breath of fresh air. Not afraid to let Batman’s sidekicks have fun—even if our cantankerous main guy still prefers to wear only black and sing about “darkness”—The Lego Batman Movie is poised to entertain Bat-fans of all Bat-ages.

Still one of its best gags is its shameless (and relentless) use of references, cutaways, and in-jokes to overstuff its narrative with more meta-humor than the most unwieldy episode of Community. As a consequence, it’s easy to get lost about just what is being winked at, and when you’re supposed to nod along. So below we have begun compiling in this living document all the references we caught on just one viewing of The Lego Batman Movie. If we missed anything, let us know by lighting the signal… or just leaving a comment or telling me on Twitter. Afterward, it’ll go in the below sections too.

Given the expansiveness of nerd history present in The Lego Batman Movie, we decided to build blocks of our own to organize the content. Rather than going in chronological order, we’ll try to denote references by where they fall in Dark Knight lore. And since it was clearly most passionate about backslapping fellow Batman movies too, we’ll start by breaking up its reverence for heritage.

The DARK KNIGHT TRILOGY

What place is better to really begin than digging into the knowing Dark Knight Trilogy smirks? Sure, Batman v Superman might be the most recent one, and Ben Affleck is technically WB’s current face for costumed adventuring, but it is with Christopher Nolan’s triumvirate of ponderous self-seriousness where Lego Batman’s heart truly lies.

This is made obvious before even the opening titles commence. By refusing to start with anything but darkness, Arnett’s Batman hisses, “Every serious movie begins with blackness.” At least all three of Nolan’s Batman movies do. In fact, The Dark Knight specifically washes WB’s logo in the same blue filter too. And does that sounds like Hans Zimmer’s Joker theme of rising string tension?

Another nod to The Dark Knight is dropped early when an unimpressed jet pilot shrugs off Joker’s high-jacking. “Batman always stops you.” When Joker goes the full Spicer and denies the blatantly obvious, the guard adds, “What about that time with the two boats?” That’s another point for The Dark Knight.

While the Lego Bane has his comic counterpart’s famed luchador mask, as well as the over-juiced steroid wrestler aesthetic, his voice is unmistakably a loving parody of Tom Hardy’s own unique vocalizations in The Dark Knight Rises. And it’s hilarious. Every damn time. He also appears to be wearing a way too small fur coat, which also likely references the bold fashion choices made by Hardy’s villainous demagogue.

While mentioning The Dark Knight Rises, whether intentionally or not, The Lego Batman Movie seems to share some thematic DNA with that final Batman film with Christian Bale. Both feature a Batman confounded about what to do with his life when Gotham City is cleaned up, each shows him on a kind of death wish as a result, and both end with salvation by way of a Bat-family working together… mind you, since it’s Nolan the family is a bunch of old men, plus a fellow orphaned young man and Anne Hathaway’s slinky Catwoman. Still, both versions of Bats also seem ready to start a family at the end, giving up his loneliness.

These are Chicago’s famed, movable downtown bridges. They figure prominently in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, and they briefly show up as part of Gotham City’s architecture in this movie.

One of the cleverest choices by Lego Batman writers is the revelation that loner Batman is just a big softy at heart who watches romantic comedies and dramas when no one is looking. By itself that’s kind of hilarious. However, the pièce de résistance is that the only clip they actually show is from Jerry Maguire, the movie where Tom Cruise earnestly tells Renée Zellweger that “you complete me.”

It’s the same line that Heath Ledger’s Joker makes a mockery of in The Dark Knight when he tells Batman that his law and order, goodie-goodie act also completes him. This is like a three-dimensional pretzel of sarcastic meta-movie knowledge.

BATMAN V SUPERMAN AND THE DCEU

Beyond the above image getting a nod during a montage, one of the most amusing early tips of the hat to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice comes during the end of Batman and Joker’s opening battle. The Joker demands for Batman to admit that the Clown Prince of Crime is his greatest foe. But Batman demurs, “I like to fight around.” As proof he names Bane and Superman as his most recent casual beat-ups. For the record, Batman’s most recent films saw him fighting Bane (The Dark Knight Rises) and Superman (Batman v Superman).

Lego Joker is exasperated. But you can’t be nemeses with another superhero?! Batman’s like, “Yeah, bro.”

Also during the opening sequence, Lego Killer Croc swims down beneath the waterways of Gotham to turn on the Joker’s intricate and overly complicated bomb. Afterwards he exclaims, “Yeah, I got to do something!” Thus it must’ve been seawater down there, because the shade this line threw at Suicide Squad was salty.

Near the end of The Lego Batman Movie, the Dark Knight’s rogues gallery begs for Batman to let them join the fight against Joker’s new evil army. “Using villains to fight villains? That’s a dumb idea.” You’re probably right, Batman. You’re probably right.
