Chicago, assemble The Lego Batman Movie early and for free

Will Arnett’s growly portrayal of Batman was a highlight of 2014’s The Lego Movie, one in a long line of Phil Lord and Christopher Miller projects that ended up being a lot better than they sounded on paper. Lord and Miller have given the reins to Moral Orel and Robot Chicken director Chris McKay for the Dark Knight-centric sequel, The Lego Batman Movie, a marriage of comedic sensibilities that should produce another clever respite from the sometimes brain-numbing preciousness of family-friendly entertainment.
