Ever wonder what the Dark Knight does in his downtime? If the newly released trailer for The Lego Batman movie is any indication, it turns out that the growly voiced Caped Crusader (played by Will Arnett) enjoys nothing more than chilling out in his cartoonishly cavernous Batcave, throwing on a comfy robe, and nuking a plate of Lobster Thermidor. Oh, and he also likes to beatbox, a skill we're pretty sure is new to the Bat-canon (unless there was a rendition of "It's Tricky" in The Killing Joke that we totally forgot about).
The sequel to 2014's awesomely received The Lego Movie, the latest blockbuster-to-be is directed by Chris McKay, who worked as an animation director on the original film, and has numerous Robot Chicken episodes to his credit. And though this first teaser is pretty much all-Bats, the film also features Michael Cera as Robin, Zach Galifianakis as the Joker, and Rosario Dawson as Batgirl. We'll see them go head-to-head in Gotham when The Lego Batman Movie opens on February 10, 2017.
Pause at: 1:23 for a quick look at some of Batman's superhero pals---including Wonder Woman, Superman, and Green Arrow---in pursuit of justice. Or maybe just another lobster dish.
