The LEGO Batman Movie, now playing in theaters (and Palace Cinema LEGO sets) everywhere, works perfectly well for any audience, regardless of their familiarity with Batman, LEGO or otherwise.
For viewers who do know the nearly 80-year history of its title character, however, the film is a treasure trove of references.
And just to keep the conversation going, here’s one potential Easter egg that I didn’t quite figure out: There are several shot of a “Luigi’s” sign in Gotham City.
That could be a grisly Easter egg, or one heck of a coincidence.
