10 Cool-Sounding Upcoming Movies That We Really Don’t Need

6. The LEGO Batman Movie

Why It Sounds Cool: Even after a summer that brough us Guardians Of The Galaxy, The LEGO Movie stands as one of the biggest surprises of the year. That it was a good film is to be expected when directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are on hand, but that it was something so unique to the creativity of the plastic blocks was a delight. One of the character highlights was Batman, with Warner Bros. taking great glee in an opportunity to mock the character's idiosyncrasies. Clearly there's been a spike in Batman model sales because as well as a straight-up sequel, we're going to get The LEGO Batman Movie, with Will Arnett returning to voice the caped crusader. Why We Don't Really Need It: The LEGO Movie had great humour and a unique visual design, but what really made it work was its final twist. The reveal that this wasn't just zany humour, but being created by a child clashing with his father gets to the heart of the LEGO ethos even more than having a sharp piece of plastic shoved into your foot. Now that's been done, where do they go from here? We don't know, but a superhero comedy seems like something of a step back.
