There are a ton of excellent vocal performances in this movie, but not one of them is quite as hilarious as Michael Cera's spirited performance as boy wonder Robin.

The casting made many giggle as soon as it was announced, and he sure delivers as the over-excited orphan who can't believe his new father is Batman.

Cera doesn't lean into the awkwardness as much as you might expect but there's still plenty of cringe-related humour to go around, and Cera nails it perfectly.

It also goes without saying that his chemistry with Will Arnett's Batman is stellar and a big reason why the movie's so damn funny.
