LEGO Batman Movie Trailer The Riddler™ Riddle Racer I saved the city again. It was off the chain Never laughs at Harley Quinn’s jokes. Will Arnett, the voice of LEGO Batman in The LEGO Batman Movie, recently told us what he thinks his character’s most underrated ability is, and while we didn’t disagree, we think the superhero’s skill at prank phone calls deserves some consideration as well. Arnett was just a guest on BBC Radio 1’s “The Matt Edmondson Show,” and the host gave him a simple but ever-so-fun task: He had to make a prank phone call to a toy store—as LEGO Batman—starting each sentence with all the letters of the alphabet in order.
In case you have the same question that LEGO Batman did, yes, we’re talking about the English alphabet. Once they have the store on the phone, Arnett is able to transition from letter to letter pretty seamlessly, the first real crack coming at K, although it was a hilarious meta reference to superhero-dom: “Kryptonite… no, that’s the other guy.” We figured he’d struggle come the end of the alphabet, but Arnett, ever the strong improviser, comes through clutch on U: “Uranium… was… sorry, my son just handed me this Google [search], he’s really into science right now.” Rounding third base and heading into home plate, Arnett finishes the journey without ever really sounding forced: “You’ve been very, very helpful, I’m sure it’s busy. Zoo-like, I bet, right?” Whether he’s pestering store employees or walking on a bed of LEGO, Arnett is really embracing the LEGO Batman role and all that comes with it, which is probably part of why we enjoyed The LEGO Batman Movie so much.

Lego Batman is a theme and product range of the Lego construction toy, introduced in 2006, based on the superhero character Batman, under license from DC Comics. The sets feature vehicles, characters and scenes from the comics and films. The inspirations for the design of these varies widely. For example, the Batmobile retains its basic sleek shape and prominent fins from the Tim Burton films, whereas the "Bat-Tank" seems to be based on the tank-like Batmobile in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns. In 2008, a video game based on the theme, Lego Batman: The Videogame, was released, along with four new sets. The theme was relaunched in early 2012 as part of the Lego DC Universe Superheroes line, which is a sub-theme of the Lego Super Heroes line. In total there were seventeen sets, almost all of them including Batman. LEGO Batman: The Movie - DC Super Heroes Unite
Lego DC Comics: Batman Be-Leaguered The Lego Batman Movie Lego Batman: The Videogame Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes The Lego Movie Videogame Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham Batman is given a wide range of vehicles, their appearances resembling their accepted forms. Several vehicles, including the "Batman Dragster", "Batman's Buggy", and "Bat-Tank", have also been introduced. The Batmobile appears similar to the way it does in the 1989 film, while the Batboat takes on a hovercraft-like form. All the set-boxes feature a comic strip by artist Greg Hyland at the back, featuring stylized versions of the set in action. Lego obtained the license to produce sets based on all available mediums in which Batman appears. Lego released a line of Batman sets in June 2008 to tie in (albeit indirectly) with the release of The Dark Knight. However, these sets do not directly reflect sequences or scenarios in the film, unlike most of Lego's other movie tie-in lines with all Batman sets.
Sets include villains from TV shows and movies. In 2006, there were packs of the same minifigures used in the sets. The first sets were updated versions of the older sets. The new sets are not known as Lego Batman, but Lego DC Universe Super Heroes instead, because the new series features not just Batman characters, but also Superman, Aquaman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman characters. The Lego Super Heroes theme is due to expand in April 2012 with the Lego Marvel Super Heroes sub-theme. An official animated mini-movie was produced with Cartoon Network to promote the product line. It was made in 2008. During the premiere of Green Lantern: The Animated Series, animation from Lego Batman was part of the preview for the DC Nation block of programming coming in 2012 to Cartoon Network. Main article: Lego Batman: The Movie – DC Super Heroes Unite Main article: Lego DC Comics: Batman Be-Leaguered On 27 October 2014, Cartoon Network aired the television special Lego DC Comics: Batman Be-Leaguered which details Superman wanting to recruit Batman into the Justice League while he is fighting Penguin and other villains over a gem, but he refuses the league.
When Superman mysteriously goes missing, Batman recruits Flash to help find him. With nothing to report, they run into Captain Cold, who is trying to steal an Atlantean pillar in a desert. After a fight which results in the Batwing getting destroyed and Flash mysteriously disappearing, Batman defeats Cold, only for him and the pillar to go missing as well. He goes to Aquaman in the sea, who fights Black Manta for the trident of Poseidon, but he goes through a similar situation, where Aquaman disappears, Batman defeats Manta, and then he and the trident are warped away. Realizing that the Justice League is the target and not the artifacts Batman goes to Wonder Woman and Cyborg, who are fighting Luthor in Metropolis. As Luthor reveals an anonymous buyer wants the daily planet globe, Wonder Woman and Cyborg disappear, leaving Batman to defeat Luthor, only for him and the globe to disappear. Batman realizes that the plot was by Bat-Mite and it was to abduct the members of the Justice League and so that Batman can be the number one superhero in the universe.
