The Lego Batman Movie: 10 Reasons It's Better Than Snyder's Batman
8. It Juggles A Massive Cast Of Characters
BvS had the enormous responsibility of not only delivering a Batman v Superman showdown but also introducing the peripheral Justice League characters such as Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman and Cyborg, and did so with mixed results to say the least.
Sure, Wonder Woman was great, but the other three were basically introduced via PowerPoint presentation (aside from The Flash's bizarre message from the future).
That's without even mentioning the litany of other supporting characters such as Senator Finch, Wallace Keefe, Anatoli Knyazev, Mercy Graves, Jimmy Olsen and Jenet Klyburn among others that the film struggled to squeeze into its epic run-time.
The Lego Batman Movie admittedly has an inherent advantage here in that it's generally more acceptable for comedies and animated movies to dart around quickly while dropping gags and introducing characters. As such, while it hurls an absolutely massive cast of heroes and villains at the audience, it is much more easily able to fleet around and divide its attention between them.
Yes, you'll probably be left wishing that Lego Wonder Woman and others had more to do, but the cameos don't feel as perfunctory and lazy as in BvS, again an advantage of a movie that can field these cameos out as quick gags and move on without any explicit, studio-mandated desire to set up the next movie.
