A much more fun, blocky (literally) Batman is getting set to do business hopefully like he’s real life, grim counterpart that made over $400 million this weekend.
The LEGO Batman Movie got another teaser, even though it’s not due out until 2017, and Will Arnett might just be the most fun Batman in the entire history of the caped crusader.
Watch the new teaser here.
Next year, Will Arnett will reprise his role as probably the most self-obsessed version of the caped crusader in voicing LEGO Batman for The LEGO Batman Movie.
As you can clearly see from this very first teaser trailer, this is clearly the most fun loving Batman we’ve seen in recent memory
Conan’s famous associate producer Jordan Schlansky has many obsessions that have been cataloged and systematically ridiculed by Conan O’Brien over the years. Aside from wine, coffee, water, and Italy, Jordan is a huge Star Wars fan.
As Conan had a Star Wars themed episode last night, they let Jordan geek out over meeting Harrison Ford and Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams as well as get a pretty great bit out if.

We’d also be up for watching a live action movie where Will Arnett and Galifianakis go head-to-head too.
The LEGO Movie spin-off, LEGO Batman, has its main cast set with Will Arnett as returning Batman, Michael Cera voicing Robin, and Zach Galifianakis being the voice behind The Joker.
It should be a fun meta-romp through the LEGO Batman universe, but fully expect to see articles sincerely comparing Heath Ledger, Jared Leto, and Galifianakis as The Joker.

With several movies already planned in the expansion of the film universe of LEGO, LEGO has now added a TV series on to that development slate.
There are plans now to make a reality TV style series that would track the lives of Master Builders, the LEGO characters that can supposedly build anything that they can imagine with whatever LEGO bricks they have around them.
We’re curious how to see all these sequels and especially this TV series will compare to how good the original LEGO Movie was considering that Phil Lord and Chris Miller aren’t directing every single one of these projects.
Jason Bateman To Narrate New Lego Documentary
In addition to doing some announcing for The Dodgers, the voice of Jason Bateman will now narrate a new documentary on the world of Lego.
We’re not sure how involved he will be with the project, but one can only hope that he’s bring a little of his sensibilities from Bad Words to his narration for this doc.
One of the longest running shows in television history, most certainly when it comes to animated series, The Simpsons is reaching its 25th year on the air and Fox is definitely commemorating the milestone with plenty of merchandise collaborations like Mr. Potato Head, LEGO.
Speaking of which, a whole episode will be done in LEGO as well. It’ll be quite the 25th year for The Simpsons.
