The Lego Batman Movie (1pm)

The DC superhero world gets the Lego Movie make-over in this dizzyingly funny and beautifully animated family-friendly gem. Super successful crimefighter Batman is lonely and rattling around the Batcave at Wayne Manor, refusing to take up The Joker’s challenge to an exclusive hero-villain combat relationship. Spurned, The Joker devises a cunning plan to lure the Caped Crusader back into the fray. Enter the mayhem. Funny, moving and full of brilliant nods to past Batman and Lego characters.

USA, Denmark, Australia / U / 1h 44m /  Animation, Action, Adventure / 2017

Batman: The Movie (3.30pm)

Based on the TV series and also starring Adam West and Burt Ward as Batman and Robin, this first full-length Batman movie retains the comic lightness and daft slapstick action of the small screen. Criminal conundrums set by Gotham City’s United Underworld of dastardly villains – The Joker, The Penguin, The Riddler and The Catwoman – force the Dynamic Duo out of the Batcave into the Batcopter  and other Batvehicles to save the world from impending doom. Holy Sardine!

USA / U / 1h 45m  /  Action Adventure, Comedy / 1966

The Dark Knight (6pm)

Set within a year of Batman begins, Lieutenant James Gordon, and new District Attorney Harvey Dent are well underway cleaning up the underbelly of Gotham City only to be stopped dead in their tracks by a sadistic maniac named ’The Joker’. Heath Ledger's legendary portrayal of The Joker forces Batman to question everything he believes, and come up with some new bat-tricks to save the city.   

Why so Serious?

USA /12A / 2h 32m / Action, Crime, Drama / 2008

Joker (9pm) 

Joker presents the chilling backstory to the most charismatic of DC supervillains. Joachim Phoenix’s peerless performance as Arthur Fleck, clown and aspiring stand-up comedian, is dark and challenging, and rightly won him an impressive haul of 2019’s Best Actor gongs. There was much raising of eyebrows when Hangover director Todd Philips was attached to this DC standalone project, but upon release eyes popped as Phoenix drew incredible box office numbers, breaking the golden $1 billion mark.

USA, Canada / 15 / 2h 2m / Crime, Drama, Thriller / 2019
