Zach Galifianakis Is The Joker For ‘Lego Batman’

THR reports that Zach Galifianakis is nearly done with a deal to voice the Joker for Lego Batman, which The Lego Movie animation supervisor Chris McKay is directing from a script by Seth Grahame-Smith. Phil Lord, Chris Miller, Roy Lee, and Dan Lin are producing.
We don’t know too much about Lego Batman at this point, but Phil Lord has teased that the film would center around the question of whether Batman could ever truly be happy. “Batman is the ultimate in white people problems,” he said earlier this year. “He’s like, ‘oh, I’m so rich and handsome, women like me and I’ve got a Maclaren! Something about my parents!”
Meanwhile, the release date for The Lego Movie Sequel is still May 18, 2018. There’s also the Ninjago movie, a sort-of Lego spinoff planned before Lego Batman came into being, which will be released in September 2017.
