emily Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 (edited) There's been some more rumblings about this one recently and I don't think we have a news topic for it yet. Going back a bit, we got a small teaser regarding the film's thematic focus: http://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-batman-spinoff-movie-about-if-batman-can-be-happy/ Michael Cera was announced as the voice of Robin: http://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/jul/17/michael-cera-to-voice-robin-in-lego-batman-movie And now we have a Joker! It's Zach Galifianakis, perhaps best known for his role in The Hangover. He also played Humpty Dumpty in that Shrek spinoff, so he isn't new to being a kid's film villain (if the Joker will even be a villain in this film).

IncogM Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Michael Cera as Robin is definitely good news to me. I'm not really a fan of Galifianakis, but it won't surprise me if he does a good job with the role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emily Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Ah, that's too bad. Thought they might be doing something clever and subversive. I wonder if she is Batman's replacement love interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidenpons Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I'm just not hyped. at all my only consolation is that FP2 should have some form of vague alpha in 2017 Owls don't have near-terminal FP addictions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 err... I'm going to agree with Aiden. TLM was great but I don't like the sound of three films being in production at once (TLM2, Ninjago, and this), especially since LEGO is new to Cinema. Even if this one turns out to be good, I probably wouldn't care enough for the theme to actually watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowblaze Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Same here. I'm probably not going to watch it either. On the other hand, FP2 alpha? All of my yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Spoiler blackandyellowblackandyellowblackandyellowblackandyellowblackandyellowblackandyellow visually stunning as usual (though the muted batman colors are no fun). Not gonna judge the story till I actually see the thing, because I hated the original lego movie's teaser trailer and welp aidenpons and Ayliffe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzgracefulmoon Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I agree with Pereki, the movie looks gorgeous but I'm not sure if it's gonna be well, a good movie. But LEGO have always been decent on visual gags so I'm sure it'll be decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayliffe Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Warner Bros are supposed to be getting people excited enough to see Batman V Superman, a film that's getting mixed reviews. Instead they've managed to get me insanely hyped for a film that comes out in about a years time (give or take a month or so) and looks much, much better than BvS. gg Warner Bros.

Ben24x7 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Bloody hell that was fast (in terms of a second teaser trailer being released already). I like the referral to the previous Batman films, that kind of Forth-wall humour is just excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol username Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Somebody on reddit pointed out that Killer Croc (between the Riddler and Catwoman) has the head of the classic lego crocodile. That's absolutely hilarious. Also, check out Clayface. Gonna be super cool to see how they animate him. Mr. Freeze in the background on the right too. emily, Dazzgracefulmoon, aidenpons and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzgracefulmoon Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I like how they're going more based off how they appear in the movie, too. I'm pretty excited to see how this movie turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 I like these villain designs a lot because they are so much more "what if we made X, but as a lego" as opposed to "we must recreate X in exact detail, and then print it onto a minifig" Dazzgracefulmoon, Zed and lol username 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzgracefulmoon Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Yup. I wish we saw more of this in the games and the sets themselves, honestly. edit: I'm excited for the minifigures that will come from this movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Looks more promising. 58 minutes ago, Pereki said: "what if we made X, but as a lego" The classic Star Wars sets/minifigs had that type of design in mind. Apart from flesh-colored skin, I'm glad to see that they're doing something similar with the movie characters. Fifi La Fume 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
