The LEGO Batman Movie is directed by Chris McKay from as script by Seth Grahame-Smith, and though it’s only direct tie to the original LEGO Movie is the LEGO Batman character, this film is the first step in WB’s planned LEGO movie universe.
Unlike previous promos for The LEGO Batman Movie, these have far less to do with the actual film (not even including any footage from the movie), but they do point to the popularity of the LEGO Batman character.
The next films being developed are The LEGO Movie Sequel, a currently untitled Ninjago movie, and Billion Brick Race.
The LEGO Batman Movie may not be the upcoming superhero movie with the biggest stars or largest budget, but it’s definitely one of the most anticipated superhero movies of 2017.
