Released June 13 on DVD, Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray and June 20 on Netflix mail and Redbox. Extras: four deleted scenes, six featurettes and four new shorts. The February release, a spin-off of 2014's "The Lego Movie," earned $310 million on an $80 million budget. Zach Galifianakis, Michael Cera, Rosario Dawson and Ralph Fiennes co-star. Will Arnett is the voice of Batman, who admits to feeling only one emotion: rage. Director Chris McKay ("Robot Chicken") maintains a relentless pace that demands repeat viewings, with multilevel humor and clever references to past incarnations of the DC superhero. Orphaned billionaire Bruce Wayne's biggest problem isn't arch-villains like the Joker, we discover, it's his deep-seated fear of intimacy. But it's not stop-motion, it's computer animation, so what's up with the Legos? Actually, the use of the interlocking plastic blocks for everything creates the necessary distance to make this all-out parody snap together. The Batman legend is so embedded in our cultural consciousness that it's ripe for spoofing, as this zany 3-D cartoon comedy demonstrates.
