There was quite a bit of Lego out there for a while after the monstrous success of the first film, and who can blame the film companies. Money is nice. But despite gold literally raining from the sky into Warner Bros’ pockets, it looks like the saga has come to an end. At least for the intended sequel to The Lego Batman Movie which is now officially in limbo. Lego has ended its partnership with the film studio and instead let Universal take over the license.
Sad pucks to say the least considering the director even had a script ready and ready. Something he told a little more about in one interview not too long ago when he said the following:
“We had a really fun script with Dan Harmon and Michael Waldron, wrote a really fun kind of Superfriends. The sequel would’ve been a quasi Superfriends movie and the structure was going to be a sort of Godfather II kind of thing with Batman and the Justice League facing a modern-day problem, Lex Luthor and OMAC, while at the same time flashing back to the reasons why Batman and the Justice League – and in particular, Superman – have bad blood.”
“It was going to explore Superman and Batman’s relationship in a very different way than you’ve ever seen it portrayed, including Superman’s alienation from humanity and how hard it is to truly be friends, real friends, for years. It was ultimately going to answer the question: How do you become Super-friends. And there was going to be a crossover with a major franchise that can only happen in a LEGO movie.”
What do you think of this, do you think Universal can carry on the Lego torch?
