The Lego Batman Movie: New Trailer debuts at SDCC

// News

“You’re darn right woah!”

Ever the throbbing hub of pop culture, the San Diego Comic Con is pinpointed in the calendar as one of those events that delivers for fans from the world of comics, movies, video games and animation. One particular gem that ticked most of those boxes was a new trailer for the hotly anticipated The LEGO Batman Movie.

Capturing the bull-headed arrogance of Will Arnett’s Batman and the youthful enthusiasm of Michael Cera’s Robin, the dynamic duo are introduced as central to the plot as we take what looks like a bright and colourful gag filled interpretation of the classic origin story set in the playful world of the LEGO Movie.

Here’s the 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: “The LEGO® Batman Movie.” 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.

A poster and other screenshots have also been released for the film, including a look at the Joker, played by Zach Galifianakis. The film will have it’s UK release on the 10th February 2017.
