Will Arnett steps into the leading man role in The Lego Batman Movie after spinning off from 2014’s The Lego Movie which starred Chris Pratt and Will Ferrell.
While the world readies for Ben Affleck to appear as the human caped crusader in Batman v. Superman this weekend, Arnett’s Lego Batman will show off a first trailer on Wednesday featuring a full-Lego view into billionaire Bruce Wayne’s secret lair.
“The Batcave is even better than we remembered it, it’s awesome” says Arnett. “But I also love getting into the ho-hum day-to-day of being Batman and what it’s like to fight crime each day. Like the idea of Batman oversleeping his alarm clock makes me laugh. It really does humanize him.”
Director Chris McKay, the animation director for The Lego Movie, says it was clear immediately how popular Batman was in his past supporting role, especially with fan-repeated lines like “I always work in black, and sometimes very, very dark grey.”
LEGO Batman is due out February 10, 2017
