## Trivia

* The movie was delayed twice, previously being scheduled for May 26, 2017, and May 18, 2018. It did not come out in 2017 because *The LEGO Batman Movie* was released that year.
* During the song, "Gotham City Guys", some of the actors who have played Batman are referenced. They were Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, Adam West, George Clooney, and Val Kilmer.
* The Batman main theme from the original movies can also be heard before the second stanza.
* The act of Finn destroying Bianca's reception cake could be a reference to Ralph destroying Fix-It Felix Jr.'s 30th Anniversary cake from Disney's *Wreck-It Ralph*.
* In the scene where Emmet discusses going to the Systar System, Harley Quinn says it would be a 'suicide mission'. This, along with her Apocalypseburg design, are references to *Suicide Squad.*
* Puppycorn can be seen during a part in "Not Evil".
* When all of the LEGO creations are in The Bin of Sto-rauge, they sing a sad version of Everything Is Awesome (Everything's Not Awesome).
* Rex is actually an amalgamation of Chris Pratt's various characters:
	+ a galaxy defender (Star-Lord from *Guardians of the Galaxy*)
	+ archaeologist (in reference to rumors that he could portray Indiana Jones in a future movie)
	+ cowboy (Joshua Faraday from the 2016 remake of *The Magnificent Seven*)
	+ and raptor trainer (Owen Grady from *Jurassic World*).
* Rex is an acronym for **R**adical **E**mett **X**treme.
* Rex Dangervest is a version of Emmet from the future.
* This is the first LEGO movie in which an antagonist is killed.
* Bruce Willis appears twice, during the Palace of Infinite Reflections when he's in the spa, and later in an air duct sneaking through it as he does in *Die Hard*. He is first seen by Lucy during her attempt to escape from the Systar System, and later by Rex when they attempt to crash the wedding between Queen Watevra Wa’Nabi and Batman.

* In the scene where Emmet buys coffee, the names of all the actors who have played James Bond are heard except Timothy Dalton.
* During the rally from the storage box, there is a *Casey Jr.* cameo, modified into a spacecraft, minus the face.

## Notes

* Phil Lord and Chris Miller are not directing this one like the first one. Instead, they are producing it and writing it.
* Seanne Winslow is not producing the film like the first one.
* It was supposed to come out in May 2017, but *The LEGO Batman Movie* took its 2017 spot.
* Like *The LEGO Movie*, the film uses CGI animated bricks to look like a stop-motion film.
* Chris McKay was originally supposed to direct until he left to work on *The LEGO Batman Movie*.
