oly bricks! LEGO Batman, bringing with him all the fun that made The LEGO Movie a worldwide phenomenon, stars here in his own movie spin-off. This animated adventure sees big changes brewing in Gotham City. If Batman wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover bid, he might just have to drop the lone vigilante act, work with others, and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up a little. There’s lots for parents, as well as little ones, to enjoy in this affectionate send-up, as Batman realises that, while he is a hero in Gotham, he returns each night to the Batcave alone. His faithful butler Alfred (voiced by Ralph Fiennes) suggests the solution could be close to home, in the form of excitable Dick Grayson, AKA Robin (voiced by Michael Cera), a teenage orphan accidentally adopted by Batman. But Robin proves to be quite the handful.
This fun-filled animated musical follows koala impresario Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey) as he tries to save his beloved theatre by staging an animal singing competition. Sing, £10 DVD 678 7742; £15 Blu-ray 509 8670, out now
Batman (voiced by Will Arnett) is cooler than ever as he grapples with a whole host of super-villains – along with doing a little crooning – in this witty comedy that’s as much about the caped crusader’s emotional journey as it is the brilliant one-liners – and it’s fantastic entertainment. With its hurtling momentum, playful spirit and the added bonus of some seriously groovy dance moves, The LEGO Batman Movie is perfect family viewing, so grab a bowl of popcorn and settle in for a truly great time. The LEGO Batman Movie, £10 DVD 697 4527; £15 Blu-ray 258 9054, out 19 June
