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.” “It was truly epic… both from an action standpoint and from a story standpoint. “Dan and Waldron had done a first draft of the script that was really great,” he explains. However, in an interview with Collider, McKay sadly states that he doesn’t think the sequel will ever get made. Of course, those rather random sources of inspiration-from a dour early 1970s-era epic and 70s-nostalgic 1990s cinematic caricature-may seem like a puzzling plot structure for the kid-friendly animated film franchise, but there was a method to the apparent madness, which was to be based on a script by Rick and Morty’s creative duo, Dan Harmon and Michael Waldron. How’s this for a pitch for The Lego Batman Movie 2? A dramatic ordeal resembling themes from The Godfather Part II and Boogie Nights teaches Batman the value of friendship. Consequently, director Chris McKay’s most recent-unfortunately inauspicious-update on that front also came with intriguingly bittersweet plot details.
However, external constraints intervened when Universal Pictures landed an exclusive deal for the rights a twist of fate that essentially canceled the sequel in the midst of its development.
With 2017’s The Lego Batman Movie having grossed over $311 million worldwide, building on the block toy franchise’s cinematic success, a sequel seemed like a no-brainer for studio Warner Bros.
