If you thought that Batman was taking up too much of the Super Heroes line, then you will no doubt be excited to hear that the version of Batman voiced by Will Arnett in The LEGO Movie is getting his own movie. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros is looking to fast track the film and may even push The LEGO Movie's sequel back so that Batman's movie can be released in 2017.

I hope this is told as a prequel to the LEGO Movie where it'd resolve some questions such as how did Batman and Wyldstyle meet each other.

That would serve for a good plot too.

Imagine a cow, and a farmer who milks it once and gets some good milk. Very good milk. Like, the neighbours all come and say "good milk man". So the farmer now milks the cow continuously in the hopes of getting lots and lots of good milk.

Now, change cow to "LEGO franchise" and farmer to "Warner Brothers".

This will probably be pretty awesome.

The alternative is that it will be the worst thing ever made.

Kinda hard to say, I guess.

No. Just no. This is a horrible idea- Batman was an awesome side character in the LEGO Movie but I can already see this will be a flop.

Critical and financial failure are two completely different things. It probably won't be the latter because it will be riding on the hype of The LEGO Movie and Batman v Superman (if that goes well).

Wow. On one hand, this may be starting to become too many LEGO Movies, but on the other hand, this one sounds really enjoyable. Batman was probably the funniest character in the film, and I can't imagine what the plot will be. I hope it's something involving one of his villains; licensed villains (or any non-Business villain) didn't get any coverage in the first film. Plus, imagine seeing somebody like the Joker reimagined for The LEGO Movie...

Oh, and the sets... I have enough Batman-themed parts by now to not need them, but if it comes with new characters, they should be very, very appealing.

I'm actually excited for this one... it seems like it could have everything I was hoping for with The LEGO Movie but didn't get. And yes, the sets could be really great :)

Before you jump, just imagine how amazing the sets will be. We can have that huge Batmobile that all the people going "I don't wanna another Batmobile unless it's that one. LEGO, make it happen and you get all my money and my wallet will cry and or else I hate you! LEGO, why you hate me?"

I can't imagine the wonders of the toyline. It will be so good to have two themes focusing on Batman concurrently. And we aren't even talking about the movie....
