Teen Titans GO! to the Movies centres around Robin, who's become disillusioned with his life, believing every superhero but him has had their story adapted into a movie. Not only has Robin's mentor been adapted to the big screen a bazillion times, the Boy Wonder learns Alfred, the Batmobile, and Batman's utility belt are getting their own movies too.

Even though Batman's presence can be felt throughout the entire movie, few people realise the Gotham vigilante is played by Jimmy Kimmel! Despite the fact Teen Titans GO! to the Movies boasts a surprisingly good cast, including Nicholas Cage, Stan Lee, Kristen Bell, and Michael Bolton (for some reason), viewers forget the esteemed talk show host portrays Robin's partner and adoptive father. He may not have a lot of dialogue (and his funniest lines from the promos were cut) but Kimmel does a fine job at channelling his inner Christian Bale.

Kimmel may sound like a ridiculous choice for Batman, even for a comedy, but his voice surprisingly works. In fact, Teen Titans GO! to the Movies could've benefitted by sprinkling in a bit more of Jimmy throughout.
