So the film has kind of a Boogie Nights or Godfather Part II structure to it, but what was it going to be about? The first LEGO Batman Movie was all about family, and McKay explains that the sequel was going to evolve that theme. I worked with Dan briefly on The Sarah Silverman Show and loved working with him and Rob Schrab." See? even Harmon can't say no to LEGO Batman 2. McKay simply responded, "I’m pretty sure we approached Dan about it. Well, apparently it doesn't take much to convince Harmon to add another project to his slate. Now, when you hear the name Dan Harmon, you may wonder how the hell he found the time to write a movie script in-between working on 70+ episodes of Rick and Morty, as well as creating a new animated comedy set in ancient Greece for Fox. RELATED: Universal Monster Movie 'Renfield' Finds New Director in 'Lego Batman Movie's Chris McKay McKay also described the film as sort of " Boogie Nights-esque" and said it was "going to be really funny." Sadly, as much as McKay says he'd like to resurrect the project in another way, Universal is in charge now. a story about Batman’s relationship to the Justice League (and Superman) now as well as the formative moments of the Justice League (and Batman’s relationship with Superman) then." both from an action standpoint and from a story standpoint. "Dan (Harmon) and (Michael) Waldron had done a first draft of the script that was really great.

Rubbing salt in the wound, McKay went further and explained what would have made LEGO Batman 2 special, and it starts with the sheer talent of the film's writing team. I am so sorry to say that but I don't think they'll be making a LEGO Batman 2." "Because LEGO has left Warner Brothers and is now over at Universal, there probably won't be a LEGO Batman sequel, unfortunately. So from the kid's perspective, the Lego Batman Movie was between the two Lego Movies, but from the perspective of his characters in the Lego Movies, the Lego Batman Movie only kinda sorta happened.During an exclusive interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub for McKay's new sci-fi action film The Tomorrow War, McKay broke our collective hearts with the devastating news that Lego Batman will not become a trilogy. I find this type of squishy chronology rather clever, as this is very real to how kids actually tell stories through play. Then in the end, he pulled in certain details from his Lego Batman story back into the Lego Movie 2, but only those details that seemed amusing to him. But all these inconsistencies are simply because the kid was creating a different kind of story, riffing off certain elements he's used before in his stories, and discarding others that weren't as interesting in the new story he was creating. Gotham only seems to exist in the Lego Batman movie, many characters that seem like they should be with Batman aren't in the Lego Movie, and so forth. However, as you mentioned, there are obvious and strange inconsistencies between the two movies.


Observing the oblique reference to "Batman having a standalone adventure" means that almost certainly he told the Lego Batman Movie between the two Lego Movies. My reasoning is that the Lego Universe is just a particular kids stories that he acts out while playing. I believe the answer is both yes and kinda sorta. So the movie seems to address Lego Batman Movie as occurring (mentioning Batman is having a stand-alone adventure) while also ignoring most of it (no Gotham, no Robin and Batgirl, no Justice League party at the Fortress of Solitude, etc.)ĭid the events of The Lego Batman Movie occur as part of the Lego Cinematic Universe in between The Lego Movie and Lego Movie 2? Batman seems to be living with Alfred in a Batcave as part of Apocalypseburg. The Justice League (apart from Batman) has ventured through the Stairgate. However, Lego Movie 2 indicates that after The Lego Movie,īricksburg descends into chaos and becomes Apocalypseburg. From this movie alone, one would think that The Lego Batman Movie is part of the Lego Cinematic Universe. In The Lego Batman Movies, there are a couple references to the events of The Lego Movie, notably the fact that Batman is a master builder and that the city is built on a table. This may seem like a duplicate of this question, but information from The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part seems to provide a different take.
