Movie Inspiration: The Lego Batman Movie
Here’s a short list of people who should drop everything and go watch The Lego Batman Movie right now: people who like superheroes, people who enjoy laughing so hard they may fall out of their chair, people who were once children, people in general.
I’ve already seen this movie twice, and I’m telling you guys, it just gets funnier each time. I love it because it parodies the brooding darkness of some of the more recent Batman movies (looking at you, Dark Knight trilogy), while still retaining a really cute message about family and friendship.
Would it be going too far to say that this is my new favorite Batman movie? Can a parody count as a Batman movie? Whatever, it’s my favorite. It’s hilarious, exciting, and attention-grabbing from the very first line, and everyone should go see it.
I foresee a lot of people dressing up as the Lego versions of the famous Batman franchise characters for Halloween (or cosplaying them at the next comic convention!), but if subtlety is more your style, I’ve put together some outfits inspired by the looks of the three main heroes of The Lego Batman Movie!

Batman has to be first, obviously. He’d get angry if anyone was mentioned before him. Lego Batman can be conceited, brooding, and antisocial, but he’s also heroic and compassionate towards the people he cares about, and he eventually learns a valuable lesson about letting people in.
For a more subtle replica of his signature suit, pair a black t-shirt emblazoned with the Lego Batman logo with these yellow striped leggings. I personally fear rocking heeled combat boots with leggings, but channel Batman’s bravery and try out this style trend! Finally, wear some gold confetti-filled earrings and a white quilted backpack, which you can accessorize with this Lego Joker keychain to reference Batman’s “greatest enemy”.
