The Lego Batman Movie is a 2017 computer-animated superhero comedy film produced by the Warner Animation Group and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It was directed by Chris McKay, and written by Seth Grahame-Smith, Chris McKenna, Erik Sommers, Jared Stern and John Whittington, and produced by Dan Lin, Roy Lee, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The story centres on the DC Comics character Batman as he attempts to overcome his greatest fear to stop the Joker’s latest plan. The series got a rating of 7.3/10 from IMDb and 93% from Rotten Tomatoes.
The primary players in this game are all top-notch and half the reason why most of the comedy in this film works the way it does. If and when the sequel happens, it would be prudent to assume the return of Will Arnett as Bruce Wayne / Batman in a role meant for him; he is a rockstar in both Lego movies as well, Zach Galifianakis as The Joker; Michael Cera as Richard “Dick” Grayson / Robin; Rosario Dawson as Barbara Gordon / Batgirl; Ralph Fiennes as Alfred Pennyworth; Jenny Slate as Harley Quinn; Héctor Elizondo as Commissioner James Gordon; and Lauren White as Chief O’Hara.
There isn’t any concrete form of news on this. Still, since we know for sure that a sequel is in active development, we can expect to see a trailer within next year, given how intensive the animation process is here, especially with the Legos. That would put us well within a bracket for a summer 2021 release date, or better still, February 2021, four years after the release of the first film.
