Power Ranking Every 2017 Comic Book Movie By Hype
5. The Lego Batman Movie
Release: 10th February
Having seen the LEGO movie basically win the Internet when it came out, Warner Bros have followed up by giving that film's stand-out supporting character (Will Arnett's brilliantly irreverent Batman) his own gig. Arnett's back, and beautifully we'll now get to see lots more of his supporting cast in LEGO form, which is worth the cover price alone.
The Selling Point:
The LEGO Movie basically makes this an essential watch, even without Chris Pratt involved to guarantee it makes money. If they go for the same blend of humour and self-parody (something painfully absent from DC's comic book features), it's bound to be a lot of fun.
This could be the movie that rules February 2017, even with the dreaded Graveyard Slot label hanging over it.
The Concerns:
Please, please don't suffer from Minions Syndrome (the elevation of great supporting characters who work sparsely to main eventers who are almost unfeasibly intolerable).
