As the much-hyped Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice hits movie theatres around the globe, Warner Bros. has dropped its first teaser for the Lego version of Batman.

The spin-off from 2014's hugely successful The Lego Movie stars Will Arnett as the voice of the Dark Knight who lives alone in his Bat Cave with a hip-hop soundtrack, a very large closet and a well-equipped kitchen.

The video starts with the black and yellow Lego figure appearing on screen 'laying down some dope tracks.' He then 'drops the mic' on the trailer.

The opening recalls all the great Batman movie titles before announcing: 'He's back....in black....and yellow!'

He's seen flying around Gotham in the Batwing before arriving at the Bat Cave.

'Hey Puter, I'm home' he calls out, only for his voice to echo endlessly around the cavernous Bat Cave.

His loneliness is broken by the sound of hip hop initialized by the computer, which then asks him: 'Did anything exciting happen today?'

Batman responds in his trademark gruff growly voice: 'I saved the city again. It was off the chain.'

He's seen passing through his extensive closet lined with Batman costumes on a moving walkway as he takes off his clothes and changes into a comfortable robe.

'Anyway I should probably have some grub,' he says.

The Batcomputer tells him: 'Alfred left your Lobster Thermidor in the fridge.'

'Oh that's my favorite. I can't wait,' the Caped Crusader replies.

Batman pops the food in the microwave and then stares at it going round as he waits for it to reheat. 

Much tot he delight of fans, no doubt, there's a brief glimpse of Lego Batman leading his fellow Lego Justice League superheroes into battle in the fight to save Gotham. 

His nemesis The Joker, who is not seen in the trailer, is voiced by Zach Gaifianakis.

Rosario Dawson lends her voice to Batgirl, Michael Cera is Robin, Mariah Carey voices the mayor and Ralph Fiennes brings Alfred to life.

The movie from Warner Animation Group is directed by Chris McKay and slated for a February 2017 release.
