“Batman always stops you.” When Joker goes the full Spicer and denies the blatantly obvious, the guard adds, “What about that time with the two boats?” That’s another point for The Dark Knight. And does that sounds like Hans Zimmer’s Joker theme of rising string tension?Īnother nod to The Dark Knight is dropped early when an unimpressed jet pilot shrugs off Joker’s high-jacking. In fact, The Dark Knight specifically washes WB’s logo in the same blue filter too. By refusing to start with anything but darkness, Arnett’s Batman hisses, “Every serious movie begins with blackness.” At least all three of Nolan’s Batman movies do. This is made obvious before even the opening titles commence. What place is better to really begin than digging into the knowing Dark Knight Trilogy smirks? Sure, Batman v Superman might be the most recent one, and Ben Affleck is technically WB’s current face for costumed adventuring, but it is with Christopher Nolan’s triumvirate of ponderous self-seriousness where Lego Batman’s heart truly lies.
