10 Times Doctor Who Appeared In Movies

6. The LEGO Batman Movie

Batman plus Doctor Who - it really doesn't get much cooler than this.

In 2017's excellent The LEGO Batman Movie, the Daleks have taken a break from annoying the Doctor and have ventured over to Gotham City, where they team up with the Joker and attempt to destroy the Dark Knight himself. Good luck lads, you'll need it.

The Daleks appear several times throughout the movie (usually squawking "EXTERMINATE"), alongside other recognisable villains pulled from the LEGO multiverse, including Lord Voldemort, Sauron, and King Kong.

There's also a Doctor Who nod in 2019's The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, where Rex Dangervest uses a TARDIS to build his own time machine.

It sometimes feels like Doctor Who is this small underdog franchise, but the fact that the Daleks were included alongside such renowned pop-culture baddies (and in a frickin' Batman movie, no less) demonstrates just how massive the show really is.
