Bats, The Joker, Poison Ivy and many more
famous, blocky faces feature in the latest round of character posters for The LEGO Batman Movie.
Headed up by first-time director Chris
McKay, who served as animation co-director on Warner’s wildly successful LEGO Movie two
years back, LEGO Batman plucks Will Arnett’s roguish vigilante and thrusts him into the center of
his own origins story, one in which the Joker stages a hostile takeover of
Gotham City.
If that’s a narrative arc that sounds
overly familiar, don’t fret; McKay’s animated romp is shaping up to be a
clever, almost meta take on the famed Caped Crusader. In terms of this new
batch of graffiti-esque posters, Entertainment Weekly premiered the stylish
one-sheets earlier today, and each came tethered with a brief character bio
designed to separate friend from foe. Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, for
instance, will be voiced by Rosario
Dawson who is set to switch gears from Marvel to DC in time for LEGO Batman.
On the other end of the moral spectrum,
actress Jenny Slate will portray the
inimitable Harley Quinn, picking up the mantle from Margot Robbie in the
process. Angled as the second step in
Warner’s animated franchise, The LEGO Batman Movie will go
up against Fifty Shades Darker and John Wick: Chapter 2 on
February 10, 2017. Further down the pipeline we also have the LEGO Ninjago Movie (September 22, 2017) and The LEGO
Movie 2 (February 8, 2019) to look forward to.
