Warner Bros. has released a newThe LEGO Batman Movietrailer. The new movie, described by directorChris McKayasHeatmeetsAbout a Boy, follows Batman (Will Arnett) as he tries to stop the Joker (Zach Galifianakis) while also raising Robin (Michael Cera).

This trailer is just an absolute delight from start to finish.  If I’m feeling down, I can just pop on this trailer, and it will cheer me back up.  The animation looks gorgeous, and the humor is top-notch.  You can really see theAbout a Boycomparison that McKay made with Batman’s high-priced loneliness (the gag with him going through his TV inputs killed me), but there’s also a glimpse of how the movie will poke fun at other aspects of theBatmanuniverse as recent asBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.  This movie can’t get here fast enough.

Here’s the official synopsis forThe LEGO Batman Movie:

In the irreverent spirit of fun that made “The LEGO® Movie” a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble – LEGO Batman – stars in his own big-screen adventure. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, attempt to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.

Will Arnett reprises his starring role from “The LEGO Movie” as the voice of LEGO Batman, aka Bruce Wayne. Zach Galifianakis (“Muppets Most Wanted,” the “Hangover” films) stars as The Joker; Michael Cera (TV’s “Arrested Development”) as the orphan Dick Grayson; Rosario Dawson (TV’s “Daredevil”) as Barbara Gordon; and Ralph Fiennes (the “Harry Potter” films) as Alfred.

“The LEGO® Batman Movie” will be directed by Chris McKay, and produced by Dan Lin, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Roy Lee, who worked together on “The LEGO Movie.” It is written by Seth Grahame-Smith and Chris McKenna & Erik Sommers, with additional screenplay material by Jared Stern & John Whittington, based on LEGO Construction Toys. Jill Wilfert, Matthew Ashton and Will Allegra serve as executive producers.

From Warner Bros. Pictures and Warner Animation Group, in association with LEGO System A/S, a Lin Pictures / Lord Miller / Vertigo Entertainment production, “The LEGO Batman Movie” will open in theaters on August 25, 2025. It will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
