Everyone who goes to see Batman vs. Superman this weekend is going to get an extra treat: a first look at the new Batman movie. No, not Batfleck, the real Batman. LEGO Batman. But, if you absolutely, positively can’t wait until you see it in the theaters, you can watch The LEGO Batman Movie trailer right now...
I'm going to be real with you, folks: even though we're looking down the barrel of 38 superhero movies over the next few years, the one that I'm looking forward to the most is easily Lego Batman, starring Will Arnett as the Caped and Blocky Crusader. It's been something I've been looking for ever since it was announced, but now, I've got an even bigger reason to want to see it, because we finally have a detail about the plot.
According to a red carpet interview with Arnett, along with cowriters and directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord, the 2017 Batman movie will focus on answering one question: Can Batman be happy?
Let me first say this, I'm not really into Batman-type movies...Spiderman, Superman, I'm very "eh" about the whole comic-book-turned-movie thing. I've never seen Twilight either. (I know.)
That said, The Dark Knight Rises was flippin' amazing...except I was super distracted.
Here's a fun idea to consider when Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises hits theaters in July, the fictional Gotham City of the DC Comics universe is largely considered to be in New Jersey.
