This is meant to be the origin story of DC Comics' version of the Knights of the Round Table (or, I don't know, the Avengers?). We've met the current Bruce Wayne/Batman (Ben Affleck), Clark Kent/Super…
I very much enjoyed The LEGO Movie, from that damn catchy earworm theme song "Everything is Awesome!" to the subversively funny and delightful script. Hands down, the scene-stealer from that film was …
