The LEGO Batman Movie remains a highly-praised animated film that is also referred as a great Batman flic as well. While people really enjoyed this film, it doesn’t seem we’re going to be getting a sequel any time soon. This is confirmed via Collider in a conversation with director Chris McKay. Apparently, this is a rights issue.
McKay explained:
“Because LEGO has left Warner Brothers and is now over at Universal, there probably won’t be a LEGO Batman sequel, unfortunately. I am so sorry to say that but I don’t think they’ll be making a LEGO Batman 2.”
McKay did, though; go into what we would have seen if there had been a sequel:
“Dan (Harmon) and (Michael) Waldron had done a first draft of the script that was really great. It was truly epic… both from an action standpoint and from a story standpoint. The structure was Godfather Part 2… a story about Batman’s relationship to the Justice League (and Superman) now as well as the formative moments of the Justice League (and Batman’s relationship with Superman) then.”
Loved this project and especially our title page pic.twitter.com/5Y2bzQiWGL

McKay also explained – in regards to the studio’s feelings towards the film:
“The studio was leery of LEGO Batman being an actual Batman movie so I was constantly told to hold back. Audiences (and subsequent movies like Into the Spider-Verse) proved them wrong. I would have quadrupled down on making it as much of a real Justice League movie (with lots of jokes, cameos, intersecting storylines, references, etc… it would have been a VERY dense movie) as humanly possible.”
What do you think of the fact that we’re not going to be seeing a sequel to LEGO Batman Movie?
