Phil LordandChris Millercan apparently do no wrong, so it’s with great confidence that I look forward to the June 23, 2025 release of their animated pic,The LEGO Batman Movie. Since they’re currently occupied with directorial duties for theUntitled Han Solo Star Wars Anthology Film, they’ll be producers on this new LEGO project, along with the franchise’s installmentsThe LEGO Ninjago MovieandThe LEGO Movie Sequel.
Outside of LEGO Land, Lord and Miller have a number of TV projects in the works. In a chat with Lord and Miller about their upcoming live-action/animated hybrid comedy series on Fox,Son of Zorn, our ownChristina Radishhad a chance to talk to the dynamic duo aboutThe LEGO Batman Movie. Batfans should be very excited to hear just how much of the Caped Crusader’s long and storied history the animated comedy will be covering.
Lord and Miller praise directorChris McKayand his knowledge of Batman, making him a perfect candidate to directThe LEGO Batman Movie:
Collider: WillThe Lego Batman Moviecover all eras of Batman, or do you draw a line anywhere?
LORD: There is no favoritism, and there are no limits.
MILLER: Chris McKay, the director of the movie, is a real Batman aficionado and knows really arcane stuff that was only in one issue of the comic book in 1972, and that sort of thing.
LORD: And he has a very large Catwoman tattoo on his forearm.
They also compare the film to one long Easter egg for fans, one that includes all sorts of Batman trivia from the character’s inception right up to the modern day and beyond:
MILLER: So, it is chock full of stuff for Batman aficionados. It is just a 90-minute Easter egg.
LORD: And it heavily honors the comics. So, it covers all the way through toBatman v Superman
MILLER: All the way through and to the future.
