The Lego Batman Movie Described As A 90-Minute Easter Egg By Producers

Phil Lord and Chris Miller have quite the packed schedule, with their upcoming series Son of Zorn as well as The LEGO Movie 2, the Han Solo "Star Wars Story" film, and LEGO Ninjago.

Still, none of these are as anticipated as The LEGO Batman Movie and Lord and Miller are as thrilled about it as the fans are. In an interview with Collider, the duo was asked what eras of Batman the film will draw inspiration from.

"There is no favoritism, and there are no limits," Lord responded, with Miller adding "Chris McKay, the director of the movie, is a real Batman aficionado and knows really arcane stuff that was only in one issue of the comic book in 1972, and that sort of thing."

"And he has a very large Catwoman tattoo on his forearm," Lord noted.

With such a reservoir of knowledge at the helm, it's no wonder that The LEGO Batman Movie will be full of fan service and Easter eggs.

"So, it is chock full of stuff for Batman aficionados. It is just a 90-minute Easter egg." said Miller, with Lord adding "And it heavily honors the comics. So, it covers all the way through to Batman v Superman."

The film includes some grade A voice talent, including Zach Galifianakis (Joker), Ralph Fiennes (Alfred), Rosario Dawson (Batgirl), Michael Cera (Robin), Will Arnett (Batman), and Mariah Carey (Mayor Grange).
