The Lego Batman Movie: 10 Reasons It's Better Than Snyder's Batman

10. It Stays True To The Essence Of Batman

One of the big issues with Zack Snyder's vision of Batman is that it runs counter to what a lot of fans expect from the character, for instance errantly murdering criminals and branding them in ways that will ensure they're murdered in prison.

It's a savage sort of Batman that most fans of the Dark Knight were upset about considering the lack of explanation for Bruce Wayne's more Conservative approach to dealing with Gotham's scum.

The Lego version, meanwhile, even with gags that liken Bruce to Donald Trump, feels like a more committed, honest rendition of what the character represents. The film exaggerates his most prominent traits, sure, but doesn't disobey the essence of the character in pursuit of cheap laughs. It's much better than that.

Snyder and co. meanwhile took a big gamble that didn't pay off, as good as Ben Affleck was in the part regardless.
