The Lego Batman Movie The Lego Batman Movie Consumer AdviceMild themes and animated violence Release Date30 March 2017 Available in 2D and 3D 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 starring role from “The LEGO Movie” as the voice of LEGO Batman, aka Bruce Wayne. Zach Galifianakis (the “Hangover” films, “Muppets Most Wanted”) stars as The Joker; Michael Cera (TV’s “Arrested Development”) as the orphan Dick Grayson; Rosario Dawson (TV’s “Daredevil”) as Barbara Gordon; and Ralph Fiennes (the “Harry Potter” films) as Alfred.
“The LEGO Batman Movie” is directed by Chris McKay, and produced by Dan Lin, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Roy Lee, who worked together on “The LEGO Movie.” Jill Wilfert, Matthew Ashton, Will Allegra and Brad Lewis serve as executive producers. The screenplay is by Seth Grahame-Smith and Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers and Jared Stern & John Whittington, story by Seth Grahame-Smith, based on LEGO Construction Toys and based on characters from DC Entertainment. Batman was created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger; Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Production designer Grant Freckelton and editor David Burrows also return from “The LEGO Movie,” joined by editors Matt Villa, and John Venzon. The music is composed by Lorne Balfe. From Warner Bros. Pictures and Warner Animation Group, in association with LEGO System A/S, a Lin Pictures / Lord Miller / Vertigo Entertainment production, “The LEGO Batman Movie” will open in theaters in 3D, 2D and IMAX.
It will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company. Save for next time Prams at the Pix Free Preview Screening - Limited locations Mild themes and animated violence More Action, Animation & Comedy MoviesOne of the funniest movies of 2012 so far has been the pleasantly surprising 21 Jump Street. Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs) brought their goofy humor to this feature film iteration of the popular TV series that was buoyed by some terrific comedic performances from Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum. For their next project, Lord and Miller have been hard at work on a feature-length LEGO movie. Though plot details are scarce, we know that the film will incorporate some of the most popular LEGO characters while introducing some new ones, and it centers on a young hero who must save the LEGO world from destruction. Warner Bros. announced today that they have set the film for a February 28th, 2014 release and they have confirmed that it will be in 3D.
Hit the jump for more, including what competition the pic will face on that date. Lord and Miller previously talked to Steve about the film early last month, confirming that they were getting ready to start casting (about 20% of the film will be live-action) and revealing that there will be some IP LEGO characters popping up in the film (ie. LEGO Harry Potter, LEGO Star Wars, etc.). The two also revealed that the film takes place in an immersive all-LEGO environment, “to the point where if there’s water or clouds or like a big explosion, that will be made out of animated LEGOs.” Though it was pretty much a given that the film would be in 3D since it’s computer-animated, I actually think this environment that Lord and Miller are creating could lend itself to a great 3D experience. They described their approach as “super charged stop-motion, something like if Michael Bay kidnapped Henry Selick to make a movie for him,” so expect some fantastic 3D LEGO action in February of 2014.
Speaking of the release date, the only other film currently slated for February is the sequel Cloudy 2: Revenge of the Leftovers. Lord and Miller are only serving as producers on the Cloudy sequel, but if these two films live up to the quality of 21 Jump Street and the first Cloudy, we’re in for a very fun February.

He emphasised Mojang was very involved in the development:"So [Mojang] know everything is going to be in the movie that can give us insight into future updates, so we can put things into the movie around the same time they relaunch newer versions of the game and at the same time, potentially taking ideas from the movie and putting them into the game.
