I wasn't prepared to like this. Still, all the sight gags, the references to past super-hero characters, grow on you. There are lots of funny lines and Batman is a total, self serving jerk. The business about Robin being adopted is a bit much. But the world created with the popular plastic toys is remarkable. It's almost overkill. I think I may watch it again where I can stop and check out some of what they were doing. I think this franchise is doing much better than I imagined it would.

A Funny Take on the Batman Story
You complete me.
I loved it, even if your kid didn't get the Dr. Who joke. Batman (Wiil Arnett) who talks a little like the Michael Keaton Batman, battles against all the super villains of all time including the Eye of Sauron, Lord Voldemort, Wicked Witch of the West, Gremlins, Matrix guy, the Kracken, Dracula, King Kong, Godzilla, and Daleks. Batman must also deal with his loneliness, feelings, and being honest with himself. Ralph Fiennes voices Alfred and not Voldemort...how bad was that for a miscast.
I loved how the film satirizes the many aspects of Batman and superhero movies in general. Great script.
even better for Batman fans
In Gotham City, Batman (Will Arnett) is secretly billionaire Bruce Wayne. After saving the city from The Joker and his cohorts, he goes home alone to eat lobster thermidor and watch Jerry Maguire. The Joker is heartbroken after being rejected by Batman as his nemesis. He shocks everyone by surrendering. Commissioner Gordon retires and his daughter Barbara Gordon (Rosario Dawson) becomes the new commissioner. Bruce Wayne accidentally adopts Dick Grayson (Michael Cera). Bruce is still haunted by his parents' murder and resists any familial connections. Despite his butler Alfred (Ralph Fiennes), Bruce intends to send The Joker to the Phantom Zone with Grayson's help.
This is lots of fun for comic book fans. There are lots of referential jokes. Batman fans will get more from this. I'm sure the Bat Shark Repellent is idiotic fun for the general public but it's super fun for anybody who have seen the 1966 movie. That goes for a lot of inside jokes. They work fine enough but better for a knowing fan. The voice work is generally good. Dick Grayson ripping off his pants is hilarious. I love the phew phew gunshots and the meow meow Catwoman. I would like for "Bet on Black" to be "Bet on Bat". This is a fun irreverent flick. I also love the Canadian Batman short. There is lots of fun to be had.
