Huge Collection of Delightful Posters for THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE MoviePosterArtThe LEGO Batman Movie I've got a massive collection of movie poster and promo art for you to enjoy created Pyramid International for the upcoming The LEGO Batman Movie.There are 24 images here featuring several different alternate versions of the Caped Crusader and his rogue gallery of villains including The Joker, Catwoman, Bane, Riddler, Penguin, Two-Face, Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, and Man-Bat. Batgirl and Robin are also a part of the characters featured in some of the art. In the irreverent spirit of fun that made The LEGO Movie a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble – LEGO Batman – stars in his own big-screen adventure. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up. Will Arnett reprises his role as Batman, aka Bruce Wayne.
Zach Galifianakis stars as The Joker; Michael Cera as Robin a.k.a. Dick Grayson; Rosario Dawson as Batgirl a.k.a. Barbara Gordon; and Ralph Fiennes as Alfred.The LEGO Batman Movie comes from director Chris McKay, and producers Phil Lord and Chris Miller. It's set to open in theaters on February 10, 2017. Newest Posts on GeekTyrantLego Batman Finds the Funny In Existential AngstThe first 20 minutes of The Lego Batman Movie, in which a character made of small plastic snap-together pieces captures delicate gradations of hubris and loneliness, are genius. The opening blast of action uses every color in the jawbreaker palette: Lego Batman (voiced by Will Arnett) saves Lego Gotham from a cadre of villains led by Lego Joker (Zach Galifianakis), with his acid-green molded pompadour and equally acidic ingratiating smile. There's never any doubt who'll win. Lego Batman makes a point of showing off his "nine-pack" (he's so awesome, he has an extra ab). But after the rumble is over, he retreats to cavernous Lego Wayne Manor, shifting straight into moody Christian Bale mode.
He pops dinner into the microwave--it hums morosely, its light bathing his forlorn, masked face in a one-is-the-loneliest-number glow. The seconds tick by. Lego Batman's existential suffering gets funnier with each one.And then the whole thing falls apart. The film, directed by Chris McKay, is a spin-off of 2014 hit The Lego Movie, an unapologetic product unapologetically selling a product. Sometimes brash, sometimes wearying, that movie at least felt like it was made by the brightest kid in the class. Not so for Lego Batman. After that kick-ass opening, the picture devolves into an action-action-plot-action-plot-action monotone. Where have all the gags gone? By the end Lego Batman has learned a valuable lesson: family is important! (A lesson, by the way, that's almost always designed to please adults more than children, who mostly long for chaos and freedom.) Lego Batman, with his comically blank eyes and observant pointed ears, deserves better. No other character with nine abs has ever made misery funnier.
Things We Saw Today: LEGO Batman Extended Movie Trailer Is a Friendly Reminder That This Movie Will Be Awesome by Keisha Hatchett | 5:51 pm, December 12th, 2016 Did you know that the original title of this post was going to be “Things We Saw Today: Nothing?” Well, that was until this neat extended trailer for the LEGO Batman movie popped up in our feed and now, to borrow lyrics from the first movie’s official song, everything is awesome. While previous teasers provided glimpses of references to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Robin opting for tights over pants, this longer cut gives us a look at other characters not named Joker and Riddler like Catwoman and Condiment King. This sort of frivolous fun is what we need right now. So why isn’t it coming out until next year?! Speaking of movie trailers, the Fast and Furious community is up in arms over a specific detail in this new teaser for The Fate of the Furious. It looks like Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), a man known for fighting for his family, is turning his back on that ideology.
A documentary based on Muhammad Ali is headed your way thanks to a collaboration from Ali’s family, Training Day and The Magnificent Seven director Antoine Fuqua, and LeBron James. This should be neat. (via The Hollywood Reporter) Remember that movie based on Tonya Harding called I, Tonya? Well they just cast Margot Robbie as the titular character. Quantum gravity research is a thing and could lead to a better understanding of the nature of time. Oh just Hugh Jackman volunteering for a paycut so that Logan could be be rated R. In other news, women have been involuntarily taking pay cuts because… sexism. Must be nice to have a choice in the matter. That’s it on our end! What did you all see? Want more stories like this?

The LEGO BrickHeadz will be available to LEGO VIP-card holders in LEGO stores and the LEGO Shop Online beginning Feb. 15, and they’ll retail for $9.99 USD each. We’ve got our hands on all 10 of the characters that LEGO has announced so far, and we’re keen to show you what we think. We’re starting off with a look at the four DC characters, all from The LEGO Batman Movie. (Read our review of the movie here.) The LEGO BrickHeadz characters come in neat little cubed boxes, slightly smaller than the LEGO Minecraft Micro World series. Each license sports a unique color box, and the four The LEGO Batman Movie boxes are vibrant yellow, matching the rest of the movie tie-in sets. The boxes all have a number in the lower right corner, showing their place in Series 1—the first of many series, no doubt, considering these are likely to inspire gotta-have-em-all madness like the Funko Pop!
vinyl figures they compete against and seem to be partially inspired by. The DC characters are numbers 1-4 in Series 1. Though the LEGO BrickHeadz characters are in some ways stylistically similar to the Funko Pop! characters, their hilariously chibi-ized style with a giant blocky head and short stubby limbs is also a product of the LEGO fan community. LEGO fan Austin Carlson created a series of “Block Heads” in 2014, and Austin was later hired by LEGO. This line is the fruit of his employment. The sides of the BrickHeadz boxes show stylized minifigure versions of the characters. The back of each box gives a good shot in the individual characters and shows the other characters in the license. Let’s start off with Batman, Gotham’s favorite dark hero, though you may have a hard time taking this cute guy as seriously as he’d wish. The boxes are thin cardboard, and the tab for opening them is on the bottom flap. Inside each box are two bags, a 4×6 black plate for the base, and the folded instruction manual.
His 91 pieces are the fewest of the DC characters, and only Captain America has fewer of the as-yet-announced characters. If you’re a fan of SNOT bricks, you’ll love these sets. Each BrickHeadz employs a full 14 light grey Brick 1X2X1 2/3 W/4 Knobs (Part 22885). Some, like Batman, have even more SNOT bricks of different styles. All of the decorated bricks are printed, including the shared BrickHeadz Series 1 black 2×4 tile. Batman gets two unique elements: a black 1×4 brick with the classic Bat logo, and a yellow 1×4 tile printed with the utility belt details. The base of all the figures are the same, and consist of four elements. The 1×4 tile with 2 studs means each BrickHeadz character attaches with just 2 studs. Inside each character’s head is a pink 2×2 brick “brain,” surrounded by 12 of the SNOT bricks. Batman includes a small, brick-built cape. It’s removable, leaving just a row of four exposed studs, perfect. You’ll get five unprinted black 2×4 tiles, and two of the new 2×3 tiles.
Here’s the BrickHeadz Batman next to his minifigure self. They’re both thinking dark thoughts. Batman’s eyes are glow-in-the-dark 1×1 round tiles, previously exclusive to 10244 Fairground Mixer. In her cool purple batsuit, Batgirl gives us a variety of newly recolored elements. The only exclusive printed element is the 1×4 purple brick with the yellow bat logo. All of the figures except Batman use the printed black 1×1 round tiles for eyes, and an extra is included in each set. Here’s the basic structure for a Brickheadz, before any of the unique facial and hair detailing is applied. You’re essentially building a giant SNOT cube with plenty of studs on all sides. Purple shield tiles help form Batgirl’s ears, and the head is smoothed out with purple 2×3 and 2×4 tiles. In back, her dark red ponytail is deftly shaped thanks to a Plate 2X2X2/3 W/2 Horizontal Knobs (Part 99206), which is appearing in dark red for the first time. The yellow cape is the same design as Batman’s, and employs a pair of yellow 2×3 tiles.
Batgirl gets a 1×4 tile of Medium Nougat to match her minifigure’s skin color, and she’s outfitted with a yellow Batarang. Puppy dog-eyed Robin plays a key role in The LEGO Batman Movie, and his starstruck expression is captured well here. Like Batgirl, the only exclusive printed element is the 1×4 brick for the shirt design. Robin’s shock of unruly hair is held on with some additional brown SNOT bricks. The LEGO Batman Movie provides a much-needed explanation for this outlandish outfit. True to form, Robin’s bare legs show between the green tights and red boots. Unlike Batman and Batgirl, Robin’s ears are made with double-wide cheese slopes, and his cape is a unique style. Robin’s oversized glasses are created with a pair of black life preservers, and his green eyes can just barely be seen around the edges of the huge pupils. Without a doubt the cutest incarnation of this supervillain to be put on the screen, the Joker’s flowing hair and suave purple suit make this build my favorite of the DC characters.
The Joker gets three exclusive elements, with a unique 1×4 tile showing his red lip stick and adorable snaggle tooth, and yellow and purple bricks for the shirt and coat. The Joker’s billowing hair gobbles up the entirety of the extra 60 pieces this set has over Batman. The hair consists of dozens of small elements, including 10 of the new 1×1 quarter circle tiles in green. The hair even has a little bang slipping down over the Joker’s forehead thanks to some clever SNOT work. The pointy back is accomplished with cheese slopes. I do wish the suit included the pinstriping seen on the minifigure, but nevertheless this is a remarkable resemblance. The Joker’s blue eyes are light royal blue 1×1 plates behind the enlarged pupils.I’m hooked and I want to collect all of these cute figures. Even if you’re not a fan of the characters LEGO is producing, the basic assembly is very easy to modify and customize. I already want to go build my own versions of characters that LEGO will probably never create.
My one complaint is that even when attached to their baseplates, they have a tendency to tip over backward. The figures are all very sturdy, however—the Joker even took a tumble from my desk and survived with no disassembly. The $9.99 price point is fitting for most of the characters, and quite a bargain for the parts-heavy figures like The Joker. If you have no interest in figures of this style, many of them are still solid buys for parts monkeys. LEGO BrickHeadz will be available to LEGO VIP-card holders in LEGO stores and the LEGO Shop Online beginning Feb. 15, and available generally March 1.
