The voice cast is also impeccable: joining Arnett are the likes of Michael Cera as Robin, Ralph Fiennes as Alfred, Rosario Dawson as Batgirl and Zach Galifianakis as the Joker.
The LEGO Batman Movie, a spin-off for the vain, Will Arnett-voiced version of the Caped Crusader, looks to be more of the same: self-deprecating jokes, relentless creativity and beautifully rendered faux-stop-motion design.
Williams famously played Harvey Dent in Tim Burton’s 1989 Batman and was signed up to transform into Two-Face in a sequel.
