Here’s How to Turn Your iPhone Into the Bat-Computer From ‘Lego Batman’Apple has added a “Lego Batman” Easter egg to Siri’s programming If you’ve seen “The Lego Batman Movie,” you know that Batman’s only friend — before Robin arrives — is the Bat-Computer he keeps in his Batcave. That computer is voiced by none other than Siri, the digital assistant in Apple iPhones. Now Apple has added a little Easter egg in celebration of the movie that allows you to turn your iPhone into a mini Bat-Computer. To activate it, bring up your iPhone’s voice command system and say Batman’s greeting from the movie: “hey, ‘puter.” Siri will respond with a message like “You have a message from Condiment King. Of course, since this is Siri, it will spell out “pbbbfffttt!!!” for you. – kazrem (@kazrem) February 12, 2017 – Grandpa Batman (@Grandpa_Batman) February 12, 2017 “The Lego Batman Movie” is now playing in theaters.

Say these words to your Siri, “Hey Puter”, and just wait for the delightful answer. Well, delightful if you are a Batman fan. Basically, Apple’s digital assistant Siri got a Lego Batman-themed update. Now, you just have to pretend and talk to Siri like it’s the Batcomputer, and then just see the magic roll. Of course we tried it too, and the trick that works with Siri is if you say, “Hey ‘Puter” or “Hey computer”, and Siri would give the most Batman-appropriate responses to that. Mine told me “Welcome home Sir. I have your romcoms queued up, sorted by decade.” Now I saw my Siri took a dig at me, but well, I did feel like Batman. By the way, my ‘Puter snitches on Robin and Alfred too. This isn’t the first time Siri has gotten a timely pop culture-inspired update. Apple’s assistant is a known fan of Game of Thrones, Back to the Future, Pokémon Go, and a whole bunch of other robot-themed sci-fi movies. And since we told you about how Siri has an inclination to be theme-appropriate, let us also dare you not to ask Siri to be your Valentine, because you would not like the answer.
It’s really good to see Apple paying heed to such interest of its users. As is its own benefit, the company is trying to track the popular trend among its users, such as the craze for Lego Batman right now. Similarly, with sudden hike in fondness for services like Netflix and Amazon Prime Videos, and the craze behind their original production, Apple has caught on to the trend too.

Batman's computer works in much the same way as Siri, responding to his voice requests whenever he says "Hey 'puter." As it turns out, there's a secret tie-in hidden in the iPhone, too. Whenever you say "Hey 'puter" (or "Hey Computer") to Siri, she responds to you as if you're LEGO Batman. "I am at your service, Lego Batman sir," and "Welcome home, sir. I have your rom coms queued up, sorted by decade," are just two of the multiple humorous phrases Siri shares whenever the personal assistant hears "Hey 'puter." Apple updates Siri on a regular basis, and this isn't the first time the personal assistant has gained humorous responses ahead of an upcoming event, but it may be the first serious movie tie-in.
Siri was previously updated in August 2016 to offer funny responses to questions about Pokémon Go, and again in September to respond to questions ahead of the iPhone 7's debut. In addition to the Siri easter egg, there's also a free iOS app that accompanies The LEGO Batman Movie, which was released back in January.Tag: Siri Updated models with AMD graphics options expected in early 2017. iPad Pro Early 2017?
