The Lego Batman Movie Casts an Unlikely Joker
 |
“Unlikely” is of course the point in a Lego Movie spinoff, and the fact that Zach Galifianakis doesn’t seem like a laugh-out-loud sort of person may indicate the way he might be going for a new take. He joins Will Arnett as Batman and Michael Cera as Robin, a tandem that made me hope it might be entirely cast with Arrested Development alumni. If David Cross were Lego Riddler, I think I’d like that a lot.
Some guys just can’t handle Gotham…
