50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2017 - Ranked
12. The LEGO Batman Movie
LEGO Batman is of course the inevitable spin-off from the superlative LEGO Movie, and taking that film's second best character (Emmett was still better) back to his home in LEGO Gotham to meet a massive slice of his rogue's gallery as well as exploring some more personal, deep issues like loneliness and family. In an inevitably irreverent way, as Batman comes to terms with his responsibilities looking after orphan boy Robin (played by Michael Cera in the most perfect casting ever).
He'll also face off against the Joker (Zach Galifianakis) in what will hopefully be as fun and grown-up an experience as the LEGO Movie itself. We've already seen Will Arnett's excellent, self-deprecating take on Batman steal his scenes once, and getting a fully fleshed out version (as well as the whole LEGO Justice League) surely has to mean an even greater experience.
If this isn't the best Batman film since Adam West's, I'll be incredibly annoyed.
