LEGO Batman: The Movie - DC Superheroes Unite (2013)

My interest in the shovel-load of English language CGI animations released every year is almost zero, but I’ll make an exception for Batman.
I once bought a LEGO: Batman game. It was fun for five minutes. The film is like the game, with more action. What held my attention after those five minutes was the comedy gold of the friendly rivalry between Bats and Supes. Yes, they’re League buddies, but Supes can fly and that really irks Bruce. The story uses every opportunity to play around with that thorn in the Bat’s side.
There's a real sense of love for the material by the makers; they did their homework, as evidenced by the fan-pleasing nods to the comics and the preceding live action films.
