Look, I feel as weird typing these words as you do reading them, but The Lego Movie actually looks like it might be... awesome? Yes, yes, it's the most shameless excuse for marketing-as-entertainment that I've seen in a looong time (and from someone who writes about movies for a living, that's saying a lot), but... it might also be awesome? The fact it's from the guys who directed two of the most unexpectedly great/hilarious movies of the past few years—Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and 21 Jump Street—certainly bodes well, but also? Neither of those movies had Will Arnett as Batman in them. The Lego Movie does.



Once again: The Lego Movie has Will Arnett as Batman. That's really all that needs to be said.
