Superman wants Batman to join his new superhero team, but Batman prides himself on being a self-sufficient loner. Lego DC Comics: Batman Be-Leaguered portrays perfectly Batman being a stubborn and wanting to work alone when on the same time threw some hilarious events Superman and the rest of the Team try to bring him into the group and the end result is a terrific short Lego/DC film. (A+)
... View MoreBe-Leaguered was the start of the Lego DC universe and unlike it's following feature length movies only stands at around 20 minutes.It's a quick story about the Justice League trying to recruit Batman into their ranks but him refusing. But when the Justice League members get kidnapped one by one he jumps into action.Alike the others it's dumb, its dumb and its aimed primarily at tykes.What makes this one particularly bad is how pathetic it makes the DC villians and the identity of the real antagonist, it would have been less dumb if it were Howard The Duck.Only for big fans of Lego DC.The Good:I liked the bit where it endedThe Bad:Dumb payoffChildishThings I Learnt From This Movie:I'm getting really burnt out on these Lego DC movies!Batman should never laugh, it chills me to my very soul
... View MoreThis is a cute short Lego film where Batman is being too proud to join the justice league because he feels better on his own. I can relate to this because when too many pieces of a team come together, we all want to be chiefs instead of one chief and rest of the team as an Indian of many. Or we'd rather be boss over each other. This place will never stop the power struggle over each other and tend to our own future businesses in the present moment. One team, one future for me. To live and to let all others who aren't choosing life on purpose every day, to die of their own free will/choice. Movies prove a lot of points and if we can find one common mission or goal between us, we'd all be living in our own freedom of choice (which is free will). In the end, does Batman chose to stay on his own or does he join the justice league? You'll have to see for yourself. Will you be on your own, or part of a larger team, working together for the common good of each other? Just like another reviewer says that Batman is typically better off alone because of the inconsistencies and the fact that he doesn't really gel all that well with the DC Universe. I am a batman in many way because I'm better off alone and left to my own imaginations of what my future might entail. Be the boss of your own imaginations. It might be the only way to deal with this kind of place.
... View MoreThis is a 23-minute animated short film from last year and like so many it features all kinds of superheroes. The Lego animation is something not everybody will appreciate too much including me, but I thought the humor and the characters made it worth a watch nonetheless. And somehow the humor was on par with the animation style. It just fit in my opinion. All the voice actors in this one are fairly experienced, have worked in film for decades some of them, and director Morales and writer Krieg are also not new to the genre at all. Experience shows and it's a successful job by everybody involved. Superman approaches Batman to get him to join the Justice League, but Batman is skeptical and decides to keep working on his own. It takes the involvement of Bat-Mite (a good guy? bad guy? stalking fan?), a character I am not familiar with to change Batman's mind. The story is sometimes fairly absurd and does not make really sense, but if you decide to watch it for the superhero action and not look for any depth in here, you may very well enjoy it. Decent watch and I recommend it.
