::: Oh and this is the CBR article.

{{quote|“The BBC said we could use the Daleks, and we could’ve called them the Daleks,” he said, explaining that the scripted version of the scene – in which Joker introduces special guest villains like Sauron, the Kraken, and Lord Voldemort – featured the Clown Prince of Crime introducing the Doctor’s major adversary in a quippy way.

However, when actor Zack Galifianakis recorded the lines, one of his takes featured a joke in which "he says all the names, and he mispronounced Sauron and Voldemort, and then he said ‘British robots.’” To McKay, a fan of "Doctor Who," the “point of view that [the Joker] didn’t understand who the Daleks were” struck him as funnier than original line.

To the director, it recalled the days when "Doctor Who" was a cult show in the United States, airing on random public TV stations. “It’s way more mainstream than when I was a kid,” he said. “There are kids now growing up on ‘Doctor Who’ and get it and love it. But it’s still not something everybody knows, so I thought [Joker saying] ‘It’s British robots, ask your nerd friends,’ was just a great joke.”|[https://www.cbr.com/director-explains-lego-batman-movie-easter-eggs-secrets/ British Robots, Bane Voice & More LEGO Batman Movie Questions Answered]}}
