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.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
