The LEGO Batman Movie trailer: New look takes hilarious aim at Batman v Superman

The film sees Will Arnett voice the Caped Crusader in a spin-off of animation mega-hit The LEGO Movie

Are you in need of a break from the gritty, sober tones of Ben Affleck's Batman? Then let The LEGO Batman Movie be your saviour.

A new trailer has dropped for the spin-off to Phil Lord and Chris Miller's animation mega-hit The LEGO Movie, and everything is once more awesome; with Will Arnett returning to voice the Caped Crusader, even taking the time out for a jab about Warner Bros.' own epic hero clash.

"Come catch your greatest enemy," Zach Galifianakis' Joker teases. Batman retorts that his greatest enemy is actually Superman, as the trailer cuts to a shot of the pair clearly imitating Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - complete with Superman's glowing red eyes. A great little self-referential take from the studio, in what's promising to be an absolute riot of a film.

Arnett and Galifianakis are joined here by the likes of Ralph Fiennes (voicing Alfred), Michael Cera (voicing Dick Grayson/Robin), Rosario Dawson (voicing Barbara Gordon/Batgirl), and Mariah Carey (voicing Gotham's mayor).

Indeed, cameos seem to be a major part of the upcoming animation. "We’re nothing but exhaustive about the cameos and other characters that try to enter Batman’s life," director Chris McKay has stated, who worked as animation director for The LEGO Movie; which hopefully spells reappearances by superfriends Superman (Channing Tatum), Green Lantern (Jonah Hill), and Wonder Woman (Cobie Smulders).

"We thought if we can tell a well-rounded, funny story that’s action-packed, we can build a big movie around this character," McKay has also said. "This is the movie we would want to see. Batman is an island onto himself, the only thing he doesn’t have is relationships. We're making About a Boy as directed by Michael Mann."

The LEGO Batman Movie hits UK cinemas 10 February 2017.
