We already knew we’d see some of the DC characters listed above, but there’s still a few roles we don’t know the voices behind. McKay wanted to go all out and used an exhausting amount of Batman characters, no matter how famous they are. In addition to LEGO Riddler and Catwoman, we’ll also see Penguin, Gentleman Ghost, Calendar Man, the Condiment King, and others inThe LEGO Batman Movie.
Here’s the official synopsis:
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.
