20 Most Anticipated 2017 Movies
13. The Lego Batman Movie
What Is It? A movie where everything's in black. And sometimes very, very dark grey. It's a sequel/spin-off from The Lego Movie, taking Lego Batman (Will Arnett) to Lego Gotham on an adventure that will poke fun at the character's storied history, as well as some more typical gags we've come to expect from the Danish brick builders. The plot sees Bruce taking on Joker (Zach Galifianakis) with the help of hyperactive orphan Robin (Michael Cera).
When's It Out? 10th February
Why Will It Be Awesome? Everything about The Lego Movie was awesome, especially the incredibly self-deprecating take on Batman. It wasn't exactly expected that he'd get a full movie, but if it's going to be shot through with a real love of the Caped Crusader and realised by such a talented cast (Ralph freaking Fiennes is Alfred), then it's got a very strong of being the best Bats movie in years.
Any Concerns? The trailers so far haven't blown me away, especially from a musical standpoint, and while the same was somewhat true of The Lego Movie, it's still a bit of a stickler.
