Batman & Superman Together At Last (in a Lego Movie!)

The "hook" for Lego: The Piece of Resistance isn't the third time out for Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the writing/directing duo responsible for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and 21 Jump Street. That alone should entice given their heaps of talent. Nor is the idea of bringing the Lego world to life blending live-action and CG. Imagine how great that will look!

No, Variety says the catch is Lego-ized versions of Superman and Batman will appear. An offer is on the table for Channing Tatum to wear the red-and-blue suit (in spirit) while Will Arnett is locked to do his Alec Baldwin impression as the World's Greatest Detective. No disrespect to either but wouldn't it have been cooler for Henry Cavill and Christian Bale to step into the recording booth? Would take em a couple of hours top; not even a whole day!

Warner Brothers is hot to get their DC properties moving. The ball is rolling on Justice League (If it meets the same fate as George Miller's Justice League: Mortal to be determined). Christopher Nolan won't be there forever to hold their hand and help them dodge development/lawsuit bullets a la The Man of Steel. Not entirely what we had in mind for seeing Supes and Bats on the silver screen for the first time (Lord and Miller will make something cool, obviously) but it's a sign of movement, and that's saying a lot of the Brothers Warner.
