The Lego Batman Movie is coming, and while the proper sequel to The Lego Movie isn’t coming until February 8th 2019, Marvel and DC have shown that there’s plenty of scope in making spin-offs with a single character – or, sometimes, more than one.
While Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice was merely okay, this one looks like a decent spinoff for a change! 😉
And now, following the Wayne Manor and Batcave teasers, and the Official Comic-Con Trailer, may the fourth trailer be with you 😉
Will Arnett returns as Batman/Bruce Wayne – and in this trailer, he beatboxes and chews on a Lobster thermidor; plus Rosario Dawson as Batgirl/Barbara Gordon, Ralph Fiennes as Alfred Pennyworth, Michael Cera as Robin/Dick Grayson, Zach Galifianakis as The Joker and Mariah Carey (really??) as Mayor Marion Grange.
It’s written by Seth Grahame-Smith (Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and 2018’s The Flash movie) and directed by Chris McKay (Robot Chicken).
As for the plot? Erm… nah, don’t worry about such things.
The Lego Batman Movie is due out on February 10th 2017. Normally, films released in January/February tend to be put there because they’re not that great, since otherwise they’d saved for the summer, but I can see the reason for this one coming out then as it’ll coincide with half-term, as schools break up for a week off, and it’s almost three years on from the release of The Lego Movie (Feb 14th 2014).
