The Lego Batman Movie

No established characters are race- or gender-swapped; the cast follows traditional Batman lore.

Barbara Gordon is portrayed as a competent new police commissioner, but the film doesn't diminish men as a message; Batman's arc is comedic self-growth, not vilification.

• Barbara Gordon as capable commissioner pushing for reform
• Batman mocked for his ego, but as comedy not a gendered message

The film plays up a comedic 'rivalry as relationship' joke between Batman and the Joker, but it's parody banter, not actual LGBTQ+ content or characters.

• Joker frames his enmity with Batman as a one-sided romance gag
• 'You mean nothing to me' / hurt-feelings comedy bit

Casting and characters fit the Gotham setting with no quota-style insertions overriding lore.

Themes of family and not isolating yourself are emotional, not political sermons.

• Message about letting people in and building a family

Batman's lone-wolf machismo is gently parodied, but as character comedy rather than an anti-masculinity thesis.

• Batman's brooding solitary-hero persona played for laughs

A comedic spoof that affectionately riffs on decades of Batman canon; deviations are parody, not agenda-driven rewrites.

• Loving references to past Batman films and villains
