About "The LEGO® Batman Movie"
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.

Arnett, Zach Galifianakis,
Michael Cera, Rosario Dawson and Ralph
Fiennes. Directed by Chris
McKay, it is produced by Dan
Lin, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Roy Lee, with executive producers Jill Wilfert, Matthew
Ashton, Will Allegra and

Sommers and Jared Stern &
John Whittington; story by
Seth Grahame-Smith, based on LEGO
Construction Toys and based on characters from DC Entertainment.
