CINEMA: Regal Colonnade, Henderson, NV
AUDITORIUM: 8
PRESENTATION: Sony Digital 4K Presented by Regal and Coca Cola or Some Such Nonsense
PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: Best seats in the room cordoned off for some damn kid's birthday party...nearly TWO ROWS OF SEATS in the biggest auditorium in the building
RATING: Three stars (out of four)

THE PLOT: Batman breaks Joker's heart. Wackiness ensues.

Seriously, the look on Joker's face as Batman defines their relationship is as hilarious as it is heartbreaking.

Remember that song from "The Lego Movie" where everything is awesome and everything is cool when your part of a team? The 'part of a team' part is the deal here. Or at least teaching Batman how to work with others. Most of the regular Batman villains are in this, as well as Voldermort and the Daleks to boot. Because why not.

It's not quite as clever as The Lego Movie, but still pretty great. There's plenty of laughs for every age.

There's still in my mind no need for a Batman who isn't Adam West, but I'd watch this again over any of the other movies.

Mitchell Theaters' Bolton 8 Theaters, Bolton MO

1996 theater, renovated in 2011. Absurd amounts of legroom. Lovely little theater. No preshow, thank the lord.

The movie was great. Hilarious and very cute.

this was a hoot - having a private screening of this on a giant 65 foot screen and Dolby Atmos made it even better. The visual jokes were flying left and right.
