The following Blu-rays and DVDs are being released on Tuesday, June 13, unless otherwise noted: The LEGO Batman Movie (Blu-ray + DVD + Ultraviolet) Details: 2017, Warner Home Video Rated: PG, action, rude humor The lowdown: “The LEGO Batman Movie” is like a child’s toy room, cluttered with games, action figures and knick-knacks scattered everywhere. This follow-up to 2014’s hit, “The LEGO Movie” is highly entertaining, moves quickly and rivets the youngsters. But, it over-reaches, tossing in too many characters — good and evil — and too many self-referential in-jokes that adults will appreciate. Many, however, may go over the heads of younger viewers. Basically, the movie plays off the mythos of Batman being a sullen loner, a no-nonsense vigilante who believes he is the sole guardian of Gotham City. The movie is a parable about the needs and benefits of family and community — and the drawbacks of excluding others from your life. This lesson is presented in such a simple way that youngsters will understand the concept.
