Shut up and take my moneeey! #DarthVader #Beer #Fridge #WishlistHarry says THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE is beyond any expectations... it is irresistible!!! Published at: Feb. 7, 2017, 3:28 p.m. CST by headgeek THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE is pure joy. Remember the blazing happiness you felt as you left THE LEGO MOVIE singing EVERYTHING IS AWESOME? This is like that… except instead of it being a hodge podge universe of all the LEGO brands… you’re pretty much within the DC Universe and more specifically the Batman-Centric side of the DC universe… BUT with embellishments you shouldn’t necessarily have spoiled for you.The LEGO Batman Movie: Funniest Caped Crusader Ever There are big changes brewing in the heart of Gotham, but if Batman (Will Arnett) wants to save the city from the Joker’s (Zach Galifianakis) hostile takeover, he may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.
There’s definitely a good lesson in here for the kiddos as this fast-paced, quick-witted comedy deftly demonstrates when Batman’s superhero sidekick Robin (Michael Cera) and trusty butler Alfred Pennyworth (Ralph Fiennes) show him a thing or two about teamwork. Like The LEGO Movie (2014), The LEGO Batman Movie is a flick aimed at youngsters but that’s presented in a sophisticated, satirical spirit that’s sure to appeal to moviegoers and comics fanboys of all ages. There was an appearance by the Caped Crusader in the first Lego movie, but here he takes center-stage. The movie opens cute with Batman narrating the play-by-play of his own film (“All important movies start with a black screen,” he utters in his raspy baritone), followed by a rogue’s gallery of all the villains he’s fought and bested… the only one he can’t quite stamp out entirely is The Joker. When he’s not being millionaire playboy Bruce Wayne, Batman is tough, steely, invulnerable, and cowled in cool.
No one can penetrate the fortress that surrounds his feelings, for he fears, deep down, that he might lose them – just like he lost his parents as a kid. But rather than making him a sympathetic character to inspire pity, the writers have chosen to armor this peg-like plastic superhero with narcissistic characteristics, conceit, and chilly aloofness… and just enough humor to make us root for him. What’s more, we hope that he just might find love with the new police commissioner, Barbara Gordon (Rosario Dawson). But first, he’s got to banish his #1 enemy – he does, by jettisoning The Joker into the Phantom Zone, a purgatory penal colony in the clouds where only the most vile of villains – Sauron, Voldemort, the Wicked Witch of the West – can survive and plot and plan for their return to earth. Digital animation creates the illusion of clunky plastic Lego bricks, but there’s a warmth and a depth to the crudely etched faces that comes across in subtle, inventive ways.
The mere flick of an eyebrow says more than a page of dialogue. And it’s no wonder – the talented team of filmmakers consists of director Chris McKay (Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program, Robot Chicken) and main writer Seth Grahame-Smith (Pride & Prejudice & Zombies) have oodles of pure imagination. The LEGO Batman Movie is darker and edgier than the first Lego movie, what with the evil characters and their bastion of bombs, various weapons of destruction, and nonstop wicked doings. But because everyone and everything is made out of Legos, there’s no gore and no lasting damage (things are put back together in an instant). Snide jokes and pop-culture references may fly over the little one’s heads, but there are a few mildly risqué moments they’ll get – nothing too egregious, though. The LEGO Batman Movie goes a mile a minute, but it’s never so swift that its gently-placed messages don’t come shining through. It’s a really great family film, and worth seeing on the big screen.

(Please Separate Multiple Email Addresses With A Comma) Kite Man (Charles "Chuck" Brown) or "The Man Who Can Fly Anything" is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics Kite Man first appeared in Batman vol. 1 #133 (August 1960), and was created by Bill Finger, Chris Russell and Dick Sprang. Brown's name is said to be a comic reference to Charlie Brown of the 'Peanuts' comic strip, which featured a running gag about Charlie Brown's inability to get a kite in the air. Charles "Chuck" Brown is a man who armed himself with kite weapons to be used to commit crimes. He flies with a big kite strapped to him. He also uses a barrage of kites to overwhelm his enemies. He has run afoul of Batman, Robin, Hawkman, and Hawkgirl on different occasions.
In his first appearance, he uses kites for a variety of crimes, including helping criminals escape prison. Batman uses kites of his own to defeat him.[1] This appearance is reprinted in Batman Family #3 (1975). Kite-Man returns again, now sporting a visor. He hires several men, whom he betrays. Batman again defeats him with his own kite.[2] Len Wein brings him back in a story about payroll heists. The gimmicky kites were not used. Hawkman, Hawkgirl, and Zatanna confront him again, in Hawkman's title. His real name is revealed, as well as a childhood fascination with kites. He is defeated and crashes into a tree. Kite-Man is one of many criminals to take advantage of the villain-friendly atmosphere of the fictional country of Zandia. He ends up joining its sports team[] and later becomes involved in a fight against an invading troop of super-heroes. In Infinite Crisis, Joker reports that Brown was thrown off Wayne Tower without his kite by Deathstroke, after he refused to join the new Secret Society of Super Villains.
Brown, however, survived his fall and reached some low rank in post-Crisis Gotham City's underworld in the pages of the weekly series 52. He is captured alongside Sewer King, Dawson, Lamelle, The Squid and Mirage. As with the other prisoners, Kite Man is killed and eaten by Bruno Mannheim upon refusing to side with him. Kite Man appears in the DC Rebirth universe. This version of the character's real name is unknown (his last name is not listed on his prison file.) He seems to be be somewhat unstable, constantly chanting the catch-phrase "Kite Man, hell yeah!" He first appears robbing a luxurious party, before being quickly foiled by Gotham Girl.[7] He is then seen in a prison cell in Arkham Asylum as Batman walks down the aisles looking for criminals. [8] At some point, he escapes, as he is later one of the many villains taken down by Batman and Catwoman after he takes her along with him on an average night of his job in Gotham City. Kite Man is featured in Batman: The Brave and the Bold voiced by Jeffrey Combs.
As a boy, he was obsessed with Benjamin Franklin and attempted to recreate his famous kite-flying electrical experiment. However, he failed to take adequate safety precautions, wore metal braces, and stood in a bucket of water. The subsequent electrical shock psychologically traumatized him and forced him into a life of kite-centric crime. In "Terror on Dinosaur Island," a flashback depicts him as the leader of a group of thieves equipped with high-tech glider kites that allows them to commit crimes. Kite Man is stopped by Batman, and his former henchman Eel O'Brian (who Batman rescued from the vat he fell in) testified against him in court, and was later arrested. In "Long Arm of the Law," Kite Man steals a sample of Plastic Man in order to complete a theta beam gun that will enable anyone to copy Plastic Man's powers, or petrify someone with elastic powers. He also obtains a sidekick named Rubberneck and gains stretching powers from theta beam exposure, and fights Batman and Plastic Man.
