Interesting, I'm always open hearing new voices for the Joker after John DiMaggio knocked it out of the park.

I know that this a spin-off from the Lego movie but why? We have several Lego Batman shorts and movies already. If this is pure Lego Batman why not tell that story in one of those movies?

Unless some of the guys from Lego Movie show up it seems unnecessary to set it in that verse. Unikitty defeating all of Gotham's crime though would be worth price of admission.

In a movie where Will Arnett voices Batman Galicianakus actually makes sense as Joker. I'm assuming he's got a voice going for it, he'd have to. And Cera as Robin, you can tell they're going for a some bankable comedic talent.

And if you don't think any of these guys are funny... Well you're entitled to your opinion, but your in the minority.
