The LEGO Batman Movie featured a number of big names alongside Arnett, including Michael Cera, Zach Galifianakis, and Ralph Fiennes. For the most part, the film enjoyed a strong box office run when it was released in 2017 and as such, was due to receive a sequel, however, the project was unfortunately scrapped last year due to a rights issue. Coupled with Ben Affleck's Bruce Wayne, Batman which proved to be a massive hit at the box office and among critics. With Robert Pattinson now the latest star to take on the role of Gotham's protector, the overwhelmingly positive response to his performance has opened up the discussion as to which actor portrays the best Batman, and Miller has offered his two cents.
Miller's tweet comes in response to Amazon Prime Video's , which shared a collage of both Affleck and Pattinson, alongside Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, and Christian Bale and asked the question "Who's your Batman?" The director then responded by reposting the image, however, this time with LEGO Batman edited in, with a red arrow pointing directly to him. Check out Miller's tweet below.

Many fans were quick to agree with Miller, expressing their love for his animated iteration, while some also noted Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (Part One) which is set to hit theatres later this year.
The LEGO Batman Movie offered a much more light-hearted and comical approach to the notoriously dark character of Bruce Wayne, playing on a number of tropes that have become synonymous with the hero over the years. For that reason, it's likely that Miller's sentiments will be echoed by some when it comes to comparing previous Batman iterations. It's certainly hilarious to see Miller ensuring LEGO Batman gets the respect he deserves, and perhaps there is hope for Arnett's character to return to screens in the future, if the rumored The LEGO Movie threequel ever comes to fruition.
