Warner Bros. has released a new trailer forTheLEGO Batman Movie. The film is a spin-off of the celebratedThe LEGO Movie,Christopher MillerandPhil Lordremain on board as producers on this film, while co-directorChris McKaytakes the reins as director.Will Arnettas the voice of the Gotham vigilante in the irreverent spin on the classic comic book character.
The LEGO Batman Movielooks like it will be the tonic to the Batman ofBatman v Superman: Dawn of JusticeandThe Killing Joke. The film actually calls out Batman on his anti-social behavior, and makes him look ridiculous because of it. The trailer then really shows what director Chris McKay meant when he said thatThe LEGO Batman Movieis “About a Boyas directed by Michael Mann.” The material between Batman and Robin (Michael Cera) is top-notch, and I can’t wait to see a whole movie of these two bouncing off each other.
Now that we’ve seen the Batman/Robin dynamic, I look forward to getting more from the villains, especially Galifianakis’ take on the Joker.
The rest of the cast is filled out byRosario Dawsonas Batgirl/Barbara Gordon,Ralph Fiennesas Alfred Pennyworth andMariah Careyas the Mayor of Gotham.The LEGO Batman Movieis set to arrive in theaters June 08, 2025. Check out the new trailer below.
Here’s the official synopsis forThe LEGO Batman Movie:
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.
