Today on TV, the funniest superhero movie ever made (and we’re still waiting for the sequel)

Although the UCM has incorporated humor as a hallmark (not always in the most successful way, it must be said), the funniest superhero movie belongs to the DC label: obviously, I am referring to ‘Batman: The Lego Movie’, which HE broadcasts today at 15:34 on Boing.

The fabulous Batman

Our protagonist applies that meme of: “Always be yourself… unless you can be Batman. Then, be Batman”. Bruce Wayne enjoys his double life as a tormented millionaire in the mornings, and as Gotham’s greatest superhero at nights. However, he soon stumbles upon the worst nightmare of a loner like him, when he mistakenly becomes the adoptive father of an orphan.

‘Batman: The Lego Movie’ (‘The Lego Batman Movie’, 2017) is a animated film directed by Chris McKaywhich he also co-writes with Jared Stern, John Whittington (both writers of ‘DC Super Pet League’), Erik Sommers and Chris McKenna (both writers of Tom Holland’s ‘Spider-Man’ trilogy).

After the Batman of ‘The Lego Movie’, it was not clear if moving him from secondary to protagonist in this one would work. spin-off. Surprisingly, this movie not only surpassed the original but also became one of the best of the character and also the funniest of the superhero genre, in the opinion of yours truly.

It’s no surprise that McKay is behind ‘Robot Chicken’, as he does a similar exercise in this Bat-Man adventure, turning it into a festival of references to each one more hilarious. Not only to the superhero world, but to pop culture in general (taking advantage of the bottomless pit that is Lego’s license portfolio).

What’s more, it achieves a wonderful balance with your sense of humoramong the most accessible comic gags for a child audience and the jokes that appeal to the most nerd. The comedy tempo is really dizzyingits hour and 40 duration flies by and doses the laughs so that they are constant but not rushed.

‘Batman: The Lego Movie’ It will make children and adults enjoy its hilarious medley of references.. Just for such iconic jokes as Voldemort’s Alohomora or Scarecrow saying that his superpower is that his face is a sack, this movie has already earned heaven. It is also available to stream through HBO Max.

PS: And the sequel, when?
