Earlier this evening, Variety's Jeff Sneider Tweeted: "Fans of BATMAN & SUPERMAN will NOT have to wait until JUSTICE LEAGUE to see their favorite superheroes share the bigscreen..." As you can probably imagine, those using the social networking site were on the edge of their seats as a Batman/Superman movie finally appeared to be a very real possibility (remember that the site also broke the news that Warner Bros. are working on a Justice League movie). What actually followed was the crushing disappointment that he was instead referring to the fact Will Arnett will voice Batman and that Channing Tatum is in talks to voice Superman in upcoming animated flick, Lego: The Piece of Resistance. The film will be directed by Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs team Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, and will feature a blend of live-action and Lego-based animation.

Wow, so Lego is actually making films now?! Who would have thought that those little bricks could have come so far?

Oh well, a JL film will be here one day folks, so we will just need to be patient.

I was so excited until I read Lego, then I got even more dissapointed when Channing Tatum came about.

Was wondering why twitter went crazy for a second. I sense a middle finger coming from everyone who reads this article.

The person who made the tweet is a bit of a muppet, seeing as the JL he refers to is live action and this is basically animation.

He might as well have called the Avengers movie a trilogy due to the previous animated movies that have already been released.

Wow, Lego gets this done before DC and WB? Sad. Really got my hopes up when I read Batman and Superman in a movie together though, then that came crashing down when I realized it was only a Lego movie.

I dont understand when adults bash on a movie that is clearly intended for kids. Its freakin' LEGOs folks.

Btw I love Legos so I'll probably go watch this lol

@63: Yeah there are no words to describe how much of a fail Tatum voicing Superman is. Epic just doesn't cut it!

I hope DC doesn't rush this road to Justice League they've got planned. It's better to be patient and be rewarded with quality, rather than expect it all soon and suffer from rushed films.

Arnett and Tatum actually sound perfect to voice those characters in a movie like this. It's LEGO guys, don't get your Avengers undies in a twist.

Will Arnet's voice is perfect for Batman. Arrested Development is the funniest sh it ever

@ACira spot on! As much as I want a film, I want it to be good, and that takes time.

The way the reporter went about reporting this was nuts, he knew fans would have got the wrong expression from that statement. I have no problem with there being a Lego movie, as it will be for kids, just a problem with the way it was reported.

Let's see what kind of film experience the Lego company has had.

@Durf - Yes, my friend. There isn't any word in this existing universe on how epicly horrible this will be if they get Channing Tatum (not to say that I hate the guy, but him voicing Supes? No. N. O.).

At first, this Lego movie meant nothing to me. But now they have my interest. C'mon DC, your turn.

@StarSpangledBruce - LMAO, I like how the cover says "First LEGO Movie." Oh, boy. XD
