Chris Miller Celebrates LEGO Batman Movie Announcement

October 15, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

With the announcement of the spinoff LEGO Batman movie, producer Christopher Miller celebrated today and tweeted out the image above which looks very familiar to Batman fans. The image shows a Batman minifigure in a pose that next to the Batmobile from The LEGO Movie which is similar to Ben Affleck’s pose for Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice. Wouldn’t it be cool if the Batmobile could be an official set when the LEGO Batman movie comes out in 2017?

I can now officially de-un-tweet this: It's true. So excited. #Darkness #NoParents pic.twitter.com/4x2PWDm7AI
