<p><em>The Lego Movie</em>&#8216;s blocky crime-fighter is swooping in for a spin-off in three years via his very own bat movie courtesy of the people who brought you his awesome rap song.</p>
<p>Chris McKay, Warner&#8217;s very own animation supervisor for <em>The Lego Movie</em>, is already attached to direct the Batman project after initial consideration to have him helm a second <em>Lego Movie</em>. Author-screenwriter Seth-Grahame Smith will be building a script. Phil Lord, Roy Lee, Christopher Miller, and Dan Lin will reunite to produce.</p>
<p>Voiced by Will Arnett, Batman will return to the big screen sometime around the target date for <em>The Lego Movie 2</em>. Lego&#8217;s next film based on the property of the same name, <em>Ninjago</em>, will release <strong>Sep. 23rd, 2016</strong>.</p>
<p>In the meantime, Batman&#8217;s next adventure goes intergalactic this <strong>Nov. 11th</strong> for virtually every game system available in <em>Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham, </em>starring Troy Baker as the voice of the Dark Knight alongside Travis Willingham (Superman).</p>
<p>The game includes a wealth of new content via its <a href="https://bagogames.com/beyond-gotham-becomes-first-lego-game-get-season-pass/">season pass</a>, such as an in-game tribute to Adam West&#8217;s 1960s TV series and features a Lego Stephen Amell and Kevin Smith.</p>
<p><em>Beyond Gotham</em> releases for Playstation 4, Xbox One, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Mac OSX, Nintendo 3DS, Playstation Vita, and iOS devices.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Ben Affleck takes up the cowl takes in March 2016 to fight Henry Cavill&#8217;s Superman in <em>Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice</em>, directed by Zak Snyder and co-starring Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor and Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman/Diana of Themyscara.</p>
