He’s the world’s greatest detective. He has unlimited wealth. He has no parents. These are but a few of Batman’s incredible attributes. Okay, maybe that third one is just sad, but that sadness developed into an obsessive that fuels his very quest for justice! While BatmanOpens in a new tab is universally appreciated as one of, if not the, best superheroes around, he has one ability that too often goes unnoticed and unappreciated. To get to the bottom of this mystery, we sent our intrepid reporter, Hector NavarroOpens in a new tab, to interview the cast of The LEGO Batman Movie (in which everything is awesome, according to Luke Y. Tompson’s reviewOpens in a new tab), and he asked the hard-hitting questions.
Will ArnettOpens in a new tab finally revealed which of Batman’s skills deserves more accolade and acclaim; director Chris McKayOpens in a new tab explained why they chose to take a more lighthearted approach to the Dark Knight; producer Dan Lin revealed why they cast Rosario DawsonOpens in a new tab as Batgirl; Michael CeraOpens in a new tab told us about what makes his Dick so special (Dick Grayson, you perverts); and Zach GalifianakisOpens in a new tab chimed in on what it was like to become the most iconic super-villain of all time.
But Hector wasn’t content with merely interviewing the live-action stars of the film. He wanted to speak to the brick-based lifeforms that actually starred in it, too. Here is Hector’s interview with the Batman himself:
