The new trailer for The Lego Batman Movie was released at San Diego Comic Con and I love how they explain Robin. So much so, I hate that we have to wait until 2017 to see it. Why can’t it come out now?
Seriously, isn’t Will Arnett the most lovable Batman since Adam West?
Back in the ’60s, television was a lot purer and more innocent than it is today. Married couples had to sleep in different beds, Barbara Eden had to hide her belly button on I Dream of Jeannie and Batman & Robin had to hide their bulges in their tight costumes.
How did they do that? Joan Collins revealed that secret on The Graham Norton Show this past Friday and it is a real wham, bam, pow. In other words a shocker. She said that Adam West told her they used drugs to make their Boy Wonders less wondrous. They made their Batman sized junks the size of one that would belong to a real bat. Basically there was a drug robin us blind of West’s and Burt Ward’s bedroom weapons. What was this unmiraculous drug? She didn’t say and I hope we never find out. Men need to keep whatever inches they have and should not risk it for art.
Granted actors don’t have to deal with this problem anymore because editing can make even the biggest bulge disappear. Which I, as a woman, hate!

Last week the first trailer came out for Bridget Jones’ Baby and Batman vs Superman was released in the theaters. Jimmy Kimmel Live thought it would be brilliant to combine the two for one Batastic trailer. You know what it is so super, I wish someone would actually make Batman & Superman vs Bridget Jones. Don’t you?
On Thursday, Warner Bros released the first trailer for The Lego Batman Movie and today they released the second one. So if you are still pissed that Ben Affleck was cast as The Caped Crusader after watching Batman vs Superman this weekend, then after watching the plastic version of Gotham’s superhero singing his theme song with no instead of na as he has a fit will make you feel better. As soon as you see that you will forget all about Batfleck and George Clooney in the roles. There’s always space to go off as Clooney as Batman!

Batman vs Superman brought in an estimated $170,100,000 this weekend in The US, making it the #1 opening weekend at the box office in the Spring, in March, during the Easter holiday weekend, for DC Comics, for Batman and for Superman releases to date. According to Box Office Mojo, it earned around $40,099 per theater and it was shown in 4,242 theaters. Pretty super!
So super, it makes sense that Jimmy Fallon had the animated versions of Batman and Superman sing LL Cool J’s Mama Say Knock You Out because that is what it did to a lot of other previous record holders.
One interesting note, even though DC comics dominates on the small screen, it does not translate to the big screen. Batman vs Superman has the 4th best opening weekend in the comic book world, Marvel Comics still holds the top three slots.
