Darkness, No Parents: 'Lego Batman Movie' First Pictures & Details Revealed

Just as the Dark Knight is about to make his return to the big screen in Batman V Superman, more details have arrived from the Caped Crusaders next solo outing. It's not a big blockbuster DC live-action flick though, but instead the much more anticipated (by us that is) The Lego Batman Movie.

As well as the first shots from the film, the Studio has also unveiled the first plot details. The film will centre on the disruption of Batman's life caused by the arrival of Dick Grayson and Barbara Gordon.. better known to fans as Robin and Batgirl.

The Lego Batman Movie will see Will Arnett reprising his film-stealing role from The Lego Movie and will see him joined by Rosario Dawson (Batgirl) Michael Cera (Robin) Ralph Fiennes (Alfred), and Zach Galifianakis (The Joker). Chris McKay will be directing, making his feature debut. Lord and Miller will return as producers.

The Lego Batman movie will hit cinemas in February 2017. Check out the first pics below.
