Conservatives took issues with the film’s themes of "orphan adoption by two dads, homoerotic attraction, and penis jokes."
The new Lego Batman Movie has come under fire from Catholic evangelists who have slammed the film as “pro-gay propaganda”.
John Henry Westen, Canadian Editor-in-chief of the socially conservative website Life Site News, posted a review of the film titled “BEWARE: LEGO Batman movie promotes gay adoption”. He criticised the creators for being “so anxious to subtly indoctrinate the little ones into the gender ideology that making it humorous came as a distant second thought.”
LifeSiteNews is an anti-abortion, anti-same-sex marriage political lobbyist organisation.
Westen also referenced a review by Michael Hamilton of conservative blog website PJ Media. In the blog, Hamilton critcised the animated film as “orphan adoption by two dads, homoerotic attraction, and penis jokes.”
The Lego Batman Movie, which focuses on the relationship between the two superheroes Batman and Robin, is a spin-off from The Lego Movie, released in 2014.
The franchise faced criticism then too, as conservative commentators took issue with the alleged likeness between the antagonist “Mr Business” and Republican former presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
