An iconic portrayal of pop culture’s most popular sociopath. Instead it just leads to him creating bigger problems and “losing more slowly” despite his stated policy of avoiding doing just that. He has no means of coping with confronting his own failure in any way that would be helpful long-term. When forced to confront how badly he botched that plan, he convinces himself that swinging to the complete opposite end of the pendulum will fix everything. When faced with the prospect of a being like Superman, Bruce clung to the idea that he needed to protect the world from him to compensate for his unspoken failures in Gotham. Despite twenty years of cleaning up Gotham, it is still a shithole by all accounts. The key to the character is his self-delusion and the fact that he is so wrong about everything which gets compounded by his defining stubbornness and need for total and complete certainty in order to function. Mike: In a remarkable turn of events, Ben Affleck has established himself as a top tier portrayal of Bruce Wayne/Batman.

He works to keep the movie grounded in both its emotion and Batman comedy roots, even as the movie threatens to become unmoored with the influx of WB IP cameos.
The Lego Batman Movie is probably the most comics accurate depiction of Batman on the big screen and Arnett is the perfect voice to cover just how broad Batman can be. Not only does this movie allow Arnett to do a lot with his voice, he also gets to dig into some of the psychology of Batman that the other movies have shied away from. In The Lego Movie, Arnett was obviously cast to play the cocky side of Batman, but here he’s given opportunities to show off a greater emotional range (for what has up to this point been a ‘funny, if fairly one-note’ character). It’s a movie that puts the Robin and Joker relationships front and centre (in particular, Michael Cera is doing some career-best work) and is more interested in Batman’s emotional arc (compared to most of the other movies we’ve covered). But what I think elevates his performance is that Arnett can explore the pathos at the heart of Batman. The movie gives him a few too many opportunities to rap and the quips come at a relentless pace. Unlike West’s Batman, Arnett’s obviously skews far more modern in its style of humour, in a way that could be understandably grating for some people. It’s a movie that opens with references to Condiment King (apparently Robert Pattinson’s favourite Batman villain) and has visual references to ‘Gotham by Gaslight’. It’s certainly an iconic role – and many of the most long-lasting Batman tropes are in the show – but the entire show is fundamentally a parody that isn’t really interested in Batman lore or continuity. West’s shadow looms large over this kind of performance, but it’s also clear that West was playing a version of Batman that’s only recognisable as ‘Adam West’s Batman’. 6 Takeaways from House of the Dragon: Season 1īen: It’s impossible to talk about Will Arnett’s performance as Lego Batman, without acknowledging the only other purely comedic Batman performance on this list: Adam West.Marvel Mondays – She-Hulk: Attorney at Law: Season Review.There Will Be Movies – Episode 91: Blue Velvet.Jerome and Kevin Present – Cancelled Too Soon: Togetherness (Season 1).Top 10 Best Curb Your Enthusiasm Supporting Characters.8 Takeaways from the "Enter: She-Hulk" Episode of The Incredible Hulk.Ranking the Curb Your Enthusiasm Seasons.Search for: Follow The Reel World on My Tweets Top Posts & Pages The Matt Signal Beyond – A Batman Beyond Recap.The Matt Signal – A Batman The Animated Series Recap.Search for Justice – Reviews of all Justice League Films.The Wheel Breakers – A Game of Thrones Podcast.
