Synopsis:
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.
LEGO Batman has a February 10, 2017 release directed by Chris McKay, written by Seth Grahame-Smith, starring the voice talents of Will Arnett as Batman/Bruce Wayne, Rosario Dawson as Batgirl/Barbara Gordon, Ralph Fiennes as Alfred, Michael Cera as Robin/Dick Grayson, Zach Galifianakis as Joker and Mariah Carey as Mayor Marion Grange.
WB has released high-res images from the upcoming LEGO Batman movie.
“The Batcave is even better than we remembered it, it’s awesome,” Arnett told USA Today. “But I also love getting into the ho-hum day-to-day of being Batman and what it’s like to fight crime each day. Like the idea of Batman oversleeping his alarm clock makes me laugh. It really does humanize him.”
“We thought if we can tell a well-rounded, funny story that’s action-packed, we can build a big movie around this character,” director Chris McKay said. “This is the movie we would want to see.”
