New ‘Lego Batman Movie’ Image Shows Off Lego Batman’s Many Lego Bat-Vehicles
Lego Batman may suffer from a severe shortage of parents, as he’s always so eager to remind us, but he’s got plenty of other stuff in spades. Like sweet, sweet rides. A newThe Lego Batman Movieimage shows off his vast array of Batmobiles, Bat-boats, Bat-aircrafts, and what have you. Check it out below.
Warner Bros. shared the newLego Batman Movieimage (viaCollider).
Throughout the 77 years of his existence, Batman has been adapted for the screen time and time and time again. Heck, he currently exists in two separate live-action versions right now — the movie one played by Ben Affleck inBatman v Supermanand the younger TV one played by David Mazouz inGotham. (Okay, if you want to get real technical about it, the latter hasn’t taken on the Batman mantle just yet, but we all know he’s headed there. It counts.)
The Lego Batman Movieintends to have fun with the fact that there have been so many iterations of the character already. “Rest assured that every era of Batman filmmaking will be acknowledged,” teased producerChris Millerin 2014. “There have been so many interpretations of Batman and there is so much to play with there. There are 40 versions of his origin story alone.“A recent teaser trailerdefinitely winked at that history, with Alfred cheekily reminding Batman that they’ve definitely been here before.
Part of that history, of course, are the many Bat-vehicles he’s collected over the years. The Batmobile is his signature ride, of course, but he’s got about a half-dozen others scattered throughout the image you can see above. Of course, Batman himself is front and center, because this dude lives on attention.
ProducerPhil Lordhas promisedThe Lego Batman Moviewill dig into that age-old question, “Can Batman be happy?” After all, if a guy with billions of dollars, countless gadgets, a thriving vigilante career, an extremely patient butler, and an adoring surrogate son can’t find joy in life, what hope do the rest of us have? We’ll have to wait a few months to find out the answer, but I’ve got a strong suspicion thatThe Lego Batman Moviewill make Bat-fans andLego Moviefans happy, at least.
Directed byChris McKay,The Lego Batman Movieis in theatersFebruary 10, 2017. The voice cast includesWill Arnettas Batman,Michael Ceraas Robin,Zach Galifianakisas the Joker, andRalph Fiennesas Alfred Pennyworth.
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, attempt to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.
