The Caped Crusader has starred in a number of blockbuster films over the decades, having been played by a wide range of actors from Adam West to the more recent Christian Bale. The current live-action iteration of Batman was introduced in last year’s Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, with Ben Affleck starring as Bruce Wayne. While Affleck is set to reprise the role later this year in Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the Dark Knight will first return to theaters voiced by Will Arnett in Warner Bros’ The LEGO Batman Movie – opening this week. That said, with the rise in popularity of superheroes in Hollywood, Batman isn’t the only DC Comics hero to receive the live-action treatment in recent years. The CW’s DC TV universe includes four series starring heroes and villains from the DC comic book universe: Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and Legends of Tomorrow. Although LEGO Batman met the heroes in a recent promotional clip, a new video sees Arnett’s Caped Crusader picking and choosing from CW’s DC lineup for a crime-fighting super-team.
The 30-second clip [above] features LEGO Batman weighing the pros and cons of each of The CW’s major heroes, including Green Arrow (Stephen Amell), The Flash (Grant Gustin), Supergirl (Melissa Benoist), Captain Cold (Wentworth Miller), and the Atom (Brandon Routh). Although the video doesn’t offer any new footage from The LEGO Batman Movie, it does provide for a fun crossover with The CW’s Arrowverse. Considering nothing seems to be off the table for The LEGO Batman Movie to poke fun at, moviegoers may be able to expect a reference or two to the small screen superheroes in the film. Meanwhile, a new extended clip [above] from The LEGO Batman Movie does provide a better look at the film. The video reveals a turning point for Batman as his butler Alfred Pennyworth (Ralph Fiennes) pushes him to interact with Dick Grayson (Michael Cera) – who we know later becomes Batman’s superhero/sidekick Robin. Additionally set to appear in The LEGO Batman Movie are the Joker (Zach Galifianakis), Harley Quinn (Jenny Slate), Two-Face (Billy Dee Williams), and Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl (Rosario Dawson).
The film was directed by Chris McKay (Robot Chicken) from a script by Seth Grahame-Smith (Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter). Warner Bros has ramped up promotion for The LEGO Batman Movie with its release date so soon. A new clip even includes the hero’s theme song, performed by Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump, from the film’s soundtrack that debuted last week. Fans have been eagerly awaiting The LEGO Batman Movie since the character debuted in 2014’s The LEGO Movie, and early reviews are positive so far. But, moviegoers will get a chance to see the for themselves when The LEGO Batman Movie hits theaters this week – and box office predictions indicate Warner Bros will have another hit in their burgeoning toy-based adventure franchise.

After the success of other LEGO and movie mixtures such as LEGO Star Wars and LEGO Indiana Jones, it's time for the caped crusader to get the plastic treatment: LEGO Batman is here! Hilarious LEGO version of Batman Play with many different characters LEGO blocks add new gameplay to the platform adventure genre Do you like the community of this game? LEGO Batman: The Videogame blends the gloomy Batman universe with the hilarious, versatile world of LEGO pieces and figures. This means that on the one hand, the game features realistic 3D backgrounds set in the sinister streets of Gotham City; and on the other, all characters, objects, weapons and furniture in the game are made up of colorful LEGO blocks, which creates a fun contrast against the shadowy urban environment. LEGO pieces add a lot of gameplay to LEGO Batman: The Videogame. For example, you can destroy any blocks yin your way to obtain coins and extra lives. You can also use scattered blocks to build buttons, levers and switches that activate special functions within the game.
And of course, any enemy you hit or piece of furniture you break will break down into a dozen LEGO blocks. The best thing about LEGO Batman is the possibility to play as either a hero or a villain. You can play as Batman or Robin (on the good side) or The Joker, Catwoman or some other villains on the evil side. Each character has its own special jumps and moves, which makes the game slightly different every time. All in all LEGO Batman is a fun game, provided you like platform adventures and don't mind playing with LEGO blocks. The only drawback I found is the lack of camera controls, as sometimes the angle of perspective doesn't let you see certain areas of the scenery properly. LEGO Batman: The Videogame is an amusing 3D platform game that blends Batman and Robin adventures with colorful Lego blocks. Do you want to be the boss of Vice City?

This week we have fantastic news about The Lego Batman Movie, news on when DC Rebirth will get to all the good stuff, when the Inhumans TV show will debut on American TV screens, and more. When DC kicked off its Rebirth event earlier this year, it kickstarted a mystery that tied the world of Watchmen into the mainstream DC comic universe. Buuut that hasn't really been explored in the months since. That's going to change in the new year. In the latest issue of DC’s “Direct Currents” magazine (via CBR), co-publisher Dan Didio confirmed that many mysteries of Rebirth will be covered in the early parts of 2017.
Evidently, the Flash and Batman will be combining their forensic knowledge to work out where the strange smiley face badge came from. Obviously we know it came from the corpse of the Comedian, but not how it ended up embedded in the Batcave's wall. We'll also find out what the heck happened to Ray Palmer, as Ryan Choi takes on the mantle of the Atom in the pages of Justice League of America. It'd also be nice if they finally got round to that 'there are three Jokers' revelation from back in July. You'd think that would be Batman's priority. It's apparently been revealed when the upcoming Inhumans TV series will debut on US television, thanks to a report from The Hollywood Reporter. According to the report, Inhumans' first episode will debut on 27th September 2017, with the other eight episodes being broadcast on subsequent weeks. We still have no word on when it'll come to the UK, or on which channel, but if it's an uninterrupted eight week block then hopefully it won't be too long a wait.
Especially since the first two episodes are premiering on IMAX screens across the world in early September. We have some fantastic news from the set of The Lego Batman Movie this week, because the film will feature the villain Two-Face. Oh, and he's being played by Billy Dee Williams, best known as playing Lando Calrissian in Star Wars. He does https://t.co/sf1x4NtRzS — Chris McKay (@buddboetticher) November 30, 2016 Some of you may also know that Billy Dee played Harvey Dent in Tim Burton's Batman movie, before being bought out of his contract and replaced by Tommy Lee Jones in Batman Returns. Now he's finally getting his chance. He also had a cameo in The Lego Movie, providing the voice for Lego Lando. If that wasn't enough, here's a brand new poster featuring an assortment of characters including the Justice League and Batman's extensive Rogues Gallery. There are a few characters we haven't seen in promos before, like Hawkman, Martian Manhunter, the Mutant leader from The Dark Knight Returns, and a woman I can only speculate is Dr Leslie Thompkins.
Rumours have been circulating that Lucasfilm isn't quite done with Obi Wan Kenobi, but unfortunately that doesn't mean a solo film is on the cards. According to Slash Film, Lucasfilm wants to feature Obi Wan in the main saga (i.e. Episodes VIII and IX), which apparently takes priority over solo films. It's not clear whether Obi Wan would be a force ghost, or be part of a flashback. It'll be interesting how Lucasfilm explains why Alec Guinness has become the much younger-looking Ewan McGregor. This further adds some fuel to the rumour pyre that claims Obi Wan has some sort of connection with Rey. But we'll just have to wait until next December, when Episode VIII is released, to find out for sure. The Christmas episode (and the annoying mid-season finale) of The Flash is a very special team-up episode, with two Flashes finally teaming up together on-screen. To help in the fight against Savitar, Barry travels to Earth 3 to enlist the help of Jay Garrick. The episode also sees the return of Mark Hamill as The Trickster, only this time he's playing the more Joker-looking Earth 3 incarnation.
This week saw Supergirl cross dimensions and assist Team Arrow, Team Flash, and the Legends of Tomorrow repel an alien invasion. Unfortunately Kara Zor-El never got to see the inside of the Legends' time/space ship the Waverider. According to executive producer Mark Guggenheim, it wasn't for lack of trying, and while they kept trying to make it happen, but it never really worked. They'll keep trying next year, apparently. It's also been revealed that Supergirl will be going up against the impish Mister Mxyzptlk during two episodes set to air in the New Year. For those who don't know, he's a being from the fifth dimension that utilises technology so advanced it seems like magic - and there doesn't appear to be a limit to his abilities. Presumably he's going to enjoy messing with Supergirl just as much as he enjoys messing with her cousin. Some supposed concept art for the God of Thunder's threequel has apparently surface via Thailand Superhero Club's Facebook page. It features Hulk sporting the Planet Hulk-esque gladiator armour that debuted at this year's San Diego Comic Con, alongside Thor who is sporting an updated version of his (normally) iconic helmet and wielding two swords.
While it certainly seems to match up with what we know already, this could easily be fake. So don't be surprised if something different pops up in the coming months. That said, it wouldn't be surprising if Thor is separated from Mjolnir somehow. All those thunder powers and an immovable hammer would make gladiatorial bouts a bit one-sided. According to reports, the upcoming Spider-movie will feature another comic-faithful addition to Spidey's suit. Namely the underarm webbing, which is supposed to be similar to a base jumper's wing suit. The full suit was apparently shown off at Brazil’s CCPX con, and matches up to rumours that circulated earlier this year. Those rumours also claimed that Tony Stark was responsible for extensive upgrades to Spider-Man's suit, which seems a bit daft to me. Peter was always a genius that got designed his own tech, usually on a limited budget. It seems a shame for him to rely on Tony Stark, even if he is only a teenager in the new film. Former-showrunner Bryan Fuller has clarified his role in the development of the upcoming series.
