Back in 2014, Will Arnett’s LEGO Batman stole the show in The LEGO Movie. Next year, Arnett returns in The LEGO Batman Movie, and the first stills from the film have finally been revealed!
USA Today debuted five images from The LEGO Batman Movie, and three of them depict the previously unseen LEGO Batcave. So far, we’re pretty impressed! Although we don’t know why LEGO Batman is preparing his own food. Isn’t that what LEGO Alfred is there to do? “The Batcave is even better than we remembered it, it’s awesome,” said Arnett during his interview with USA Today. “But I also love getting into the ho-hum day-to-day of being Batman and what it’s like to fight crime each day. Like the idea of Batman oversleeping his alarm clock makes me laugh. It really does humanize him.” If the Batcave wasn’t enough, the new images also revealed the LEGO Batwing and a fairly explosive incident from the film. You can see the rest of the images in our gallery below. Joining Arnett in The LEGO Batman Movie are Michael Cera as Robin, Rosario Dawson as Batgirl, Ralph Fiennes as Alfred Pennyworth, Zach Galifianakis as The Joker, and Mariah Carey as Gotham’s mayor.
Yes, that Mariah Carey. The LEGO Batman Movie will swing into theaters on February 10, 2017. And the very first trailer is expected to drop this Wednesday, March 23!

The LEGO Movie is one of my most-anticipated films of 2014 because I’m pretty much on board with anything directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller are going to do since I adore their first two movies, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and 21 Jump Street. For The LEGO Movie, the plot focuses on Emmet (voiced by Chris Pratt), a construction worker who finds himself anointed “The Special”, a master builder who will lead a band of rebels to save the world. Naturally, Emmet is not only completely inept, there’s nothing special about him. “We like the challenge of a story around the most generic, forgettable man in the universe,” says Lord. Hit the jump for new images from the film and to learn more about the characters. Click here for Steve’s interview with Lord and Miller from Comic-Con. The film also features the voices of Elizabeth Banks, Will Arentt, Liam Neeson, Morgan Freeman, and Will Ferrell. The LEGO Movie opens in 3D on February 7, 2014. Although there may not be anything special when it comes to Emmet’s abilities, he makes up for it in spirit.
Pratt tells USA Today: “Emmet’s enthusiasm is something we share,” says Pratt. “I seem to be really enthusiastic about things as well in life. Maybe more so than I should be. It’s probably why (directors) Chris and Phil had me in mind when they created the character.” Emmet’s incompetence will also be counterbalanced by the highly competent Wyldstyle (Banks): The free-spirited Master Builder has an independent streak as wild as the color streaks in her plastic hair. She’s a car-building specialist, tough and respected. “She’s definitely on equal footing with the guys,” says Banks. “She is real sassy. She overcomes all obstacles, including that she’s a tiny Lego.” Banks says “Wyldstyle is very much me in two-inch form. I brought as much of my sass and attitude that I could get into her.” Emmet, Wyldstyle, and the rest of the rebellion will be facing off against the villain President Business (Ferrell), whose true identity is “Lord Business” (awesome), who is overseeing a robot militia so he can take over the LEGO world:
“The ruler of this universe wants everything to stay exactly where he put it and every piece to be in its place,” says Lord. “Innovators like Master Builders drive him crazy.” Ferrell is a good fit to voice both characters “since he can get really frustrated in a really funny way,” says Miller. I’ll be interested to see how President/Lord business differs from Ferrell’s most famous villain, Mugatu (“I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!”). Every good villain needs a good henchman and Lord Business gets half of one in Good Cop/Bad Cop (Neeson). The schizophrenic character has a good face drawn on one side of his head and a bad face on the other: “We would have Liam do a scene where he would have this friendly, high-pitched voice for Good Cop and then a mean, deep voice for Bad Cop,” says Miller. “He was really good at it.” The voice of the Bad Cop side isn’t too surprising but it was delightful to hear Neeson do a high-pitched voice in the Comic-Con trailer.
