While taking questions, one audience member asked Arnett when he is going to play a live-action Batman.
Set to be released on February 10th, The LEGO Batman Movie stars Will Arnett as the gravely-voiced superhero as he goes on LEGO-sized misadventures as the well-meaning lunkhead LEGO Batman that was established in The LEGO Movie.
Animators recreated the Comic-Con panel setup in a short sketch that included a Lego version of panel moderator Conan O Brien asking Lego Batman, Lego Joker and Lego Robin about the new film, in which Batman tackles fatherhood. We see the same witty dialogue that we first saw in the teaser trailer and more.
In this Lego movie, there’s an explanation for Robin’s iconic pantless costume: as Robin tries on costumes from Bruce’s closet, he eventually picks a certain Reggae Man’s as his own – but he doesn’t like the fit of the trousers: “Rip!”
With the success of The LEGO Movie, both critically and commercially, it’s definitely no surprise that more films are being made in the LEGO universe and who better than Batman?
