The onslaught of gags can be relentless, sometimes to the point of making them impossible to follow. It’s a shame because the movie has some big laughs (and I do mean BIG).

It's Arnett's show, taking the egotistical dope who was such a delight in The Lego Movie and making him even more absurd.

Despite the films flaw of its rapid pacing of jokes, The LEGO Batman Movie may not be the Batman film we wanted but surely the Batman film we needed.

Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review May 1, 2020

The Lego Batman Movie isn't just a superhero story; it's a crash course in what makes a superhero story. And most of it is fairly insightful, humorous, and/or well observed -- clearly from the mind of die-hard comic book aficionados.

Fun for kids, but mostly forgettable for everyone else, it's possible to have a good time with The LEGO Batman Movie, but don't expect it to replace Tim Burton or Christopher Nolan's efforts as your favourite movie starring The Dark Knight.
