Will Arnett to play Lego Batman for 21 Jump Street directors

Will Arnett will voice Batman in an upcoming animated Lego film from Chris Miller and Phil Lord (21 Jump St).

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Parks and Recreation‘s Chris Pratt will voice the lead character in the movie, Emmet; an average Lego figure who stumbles onto a grand plan by an evil tyrant who is literally trying to glue the world together.

Channing Tatum is also rumoured to be voicing Superman in this bizarrely compelling project, while Lego versions of Yoda and Indiana Jones may appear too. No word on whether a rival Meccano movie is in the works.
