While audiences were packing the cinemas in support of BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE this weekend, one thing I couldn’t emphasize enough was that it wasn’t for small children (read my review here). What is for small children is next year’s The LEGO Batman Movie, starring Will Arnett as the voice of The Dark Knight himself. After nearly a million people viewed the first trailer on YouTube over the past few days, LEGO Batman couldn’t be upstaged by his live-action counterparts, with Alfred throwing down a history of The Caped Crusader’s on-screen adventures in a second teaser trailer… Wayne Manor-style! Check it out below…
“In the irreverent spirit of fun that made “The LEGO® Movie” a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble – LEGO Batman – stars in his own big-screen adventure. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.”
The LEGO Batman Movie is in theaters on February 10, 2017.
