History Characters / TheLegoMovie

* TheFriendNoOneLikes: Deconstructed. He's so abrasive that the Justice League don't invite him to parties. Even Green Lantern, who Superman prefers Kryptonite over, gets an invite. Hammered home when The Flash gets him to take the group picture, leaving him out.

* ItsAllAboutMe:
** Is incredibly self-centered, which makes it convincing of him to abandon everyone in the middle of the ocean to have some alone time, only to [[SubvertedTrope subvert]] it a minute later when he pops back with the equipment he and his friends need to escape.
** This becomes {{Deconstruct|ion}}ed in the ''Lego Batman Movie'', where [[spoiler: Barbara Gordon [[WhatTheHellHero called him out for it.]]]]

* JerkassRealization: Seeing footage of all the times he [[spoiler: treated his loved ones like trash to satisfy his own ego]] inspires this.

** He spends most of his own movie being a childish and egotistical {{Jerkass}} who claims that he doesn't do relationships and [[AbusiveParents has no qualms with sending an oblivious Robin on a mission he could easily get killed on]]. He is still a good guy who fights for justice, he eventually bonds with Robin, opens up to relationships with others and even [[spoiler: almost sacrifices himself, but not before revealing to Robin that he is Bruce Wayne and giving him a heartfelt goodbye.]] Before that, he apologizes to Alfred for accidentally hitting him ( even through he still has to point out his "incredible reflexes" ) and after Dick gets hurt in Batmobile since it has no seatbelts, Batman checks if he is okay, uses his hand as a seatbelt, starts moving more slowly and promises him that he will add seatbelts to Batmobile later -- both of these happen before any serious CharacterDevelopment, showing that he was never a complete jerk.

* LonersAreFreaks: Deconstructed. His IWorkAlone mentality has pushed others away from him, and even the Justice League doesn't invite him to their parties.

** In ''Lego Movie 2: The Second Part'', he's on the receiving end of it [[spoiler: with Ice Cream Cone repeatedly coming between him & Watevra any time they start physically getting too close]].
* TheMourningAfter: Briefly for him in ''The Second Part'' [[spoiler: when Emmet crashes his wedding to Queen Watevra, causing Armamageddon. Everyone is sucked into the Bin of Storage & Queen Watevra ends up being shattered into pieces. Batman desperately tries to hold on to the last piece of her but ultimately fails as she's completely broken, leaving him in despair. Later in the sad song, ''Everything's Not Awesome'', he sings his part about how love is not real]].
** [[spoiler: Gets subverted when Queen Watevra comes back to life & Batman rushes to greet her, happy to have his Queen back.]]

* PleaseDontLeaveMe: [[spoiler: With Watevra during Armamageddon. She's shattered into pieces and Batman tries to hold on to her until she's sucked into the Bin of Storage. He then frantically gathers up the pieces he can find while calling for her not to leave him.]]

* SickeninglySweethearts: [[spoiler: With Queen Watevra in ''The Second Part''. She wants to marry him to unite their worlds & he wanted to marry her to outdo Superman, who she [[ReversePsychology said she really wanted]]. But they genuinely fall for each other very quickly and frequently gush at one another with Ice Cream Cone repeatedly breaking them up in annoyance & disgust.]]

* [[invoked]]TrueArtIsAngsty: A firm believer in this. His "Untitled Self Portrait" song is an example, plus his preference to work in black and dark gray.

* WeddingSmashers: [[spoiler: Being manipulated by Rex, Emmet thinks the Systar System is evil and that Batman's wedding to the Queen will cause Ourmamagedon. He uses his newfound power to destroy their wedding cake alter just before Batman can say "I do". This is the event that causes Ourmamagedon and leaves Batman [[WidowedAtTheWedding widowed at his wedding]] when his queen ends up shattered into pieces.]]
* WhatTheHellHero: On the receiving end of this, especially in ''The Lego Batman Movie'' where [[spoiler: Barbara called him out for bringing in the Phantom Zone projector to Gotham City.]]

** Averted in terms of ability in Lego Batman, where he single-handedly defeats his entire Rogues Gallery in one go, even if he is a whiny teenager on the emotional level.

* DarkerAndEdgier: [[AvertedTrope Averted]] and PlayedForLaughs. Batman ''wants'' to be this and Lucy hails him as such, but his idea of being DarkerAndEdgier is simply to talk in a deep gravelly voice, listen to death metal and obsess over the word "darkness". Not at all like the actual Batman.

** Shaquille O'Neal voices his own LEGO counterpart.
