As evidenced by my review this past Saturday, I loved The LEGO Batman Movie, it was so much fun to watch, and revel in. It was funny, family friendly, and told a brand new Batman story. So I was delighted when DK Canada sent me their latest, The Making of the Movie. Much like the…

The LEGO Batman Movie (2017) -Chris McKay
Bat-tastic! Is that a word? It should be. Because if Batman (Will Arnett) had his way, I’m sure that is exactly how the Caped Crusader would describe it.
