Did Lego Justice League just appear in the 'Lego Batman' trailer?


Wait, was that the Justice League in The Lego Batman Movie trailer that dropped on Thursday morning?

No, you were not imagining things if you saw a flurry of the baddest Lego superheroes ever fleeting by.

There is Lego Batman (voiced by Will Arnett) leading the way with Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman and The Green Lantern.

Director Chris McKay confirmed the Justice League appearance to Paste BN.

The Justice League, that's a big part of Batman's life, his relationship to other superheroes. So the Justice League does make an appearance in a pivotal moment.

And, yes, Batman is leading the group. "This is a Batman movie, so Batman gets the edge a little bit," says McKay.

Arnett knows this revelation is going to be a big deal and lead to significant internet chatter in the Lego world.

"I've instructed the authorities to lay down more cable and more wires to support the Internet. We don't want to have a whole breakdown or systemic meltdown."

Most of the movie will center around Batman's solitary existence in a pretty awesome Batcave with his butler Alfred (voiced by Ralph Fiennes). Batman's world gets rocked as he deals with Robin (Michael Cera), Batgirl (Rosario Dawson) and The Joker (Zack Galifianakis).

But the Justice League will have its shining moment too along with other appearances.

As McKay told us during an interview introducing a first look of Lego Batman: “We’re nothing but exhaustive about the cameos and other characters that try to enter Batman’s life. There are a lot of characters from the DC universe, both heroes and super-villains."

The Lego Batman Movie opens Feb. 10, 2017.
