The first images from the upcoming Lego Batman Movie were revealed earlier this week, and now the first trailer from the film has been released. It's a spinoff from 2014's hugely popular Lego Movie, and hits cinemas in early 2017. Check it out below:

　　The film is produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who directed The Lego Movie, in which Lego Batman made his first movie appearance. Bruce Wayne is played once more by Arrested Development star Will Arnett, with Ralph Fiennes providing the voice of Wayne's faithful butler Alfred. The film also features Rosario Dawson as Batgirl, Michael Cera as Robin, Zach Galifianakis as The Joker, and Mariah Carey as, er, the mayor of Gotham.

　　The Lego Batman Movie is directed by Chris McKay, who worked as animation director on The Lego Movie. Speaking to USA Today, McKay discussed taking a supporting character from that earlier film and spinning him out to his own feature. "We thought if we can tell a well-rounded, funny story that's action-packed, we can build a big movie around this character," he said. "This is the movie we would want to see."

　　"Batman is an island unto himself, the only thing he doesn't have is relationships. We're making About a Boy as directed by Michael Mann."

　　The Lego Batman Movie will be released on February 10, 2017.
