Jumping between comic-book universes and across the gulf dividing human flesh and little plastic bricks, Daredevil star Rosario Dawson has signed on to voice Batgirl in the upcoming Lego Batman film. Dawson will appear opposite Will Arnett, reprising his role as The Lego Movie’s gravel-voiced, darkness-positive version of the Caped Crusader.
Dawson joins a cast that includes Arnett’s old Arrested Development buddy Michael Cera, playing what we’re just going to assume will be a pretty apologetic version of bird-themed sidekick Robin, and Zach Galifianakis as The Joker. Directed by Lego Movie animation director Chris McKay, the film is expected for a 2017 release, which should give Warner Bros. plenty of time to find the perfect actors to play Bruce Wayne’s parents. Actually, hold on, let us listen to Batman’s song from The Lego Movie again…
Okay, yeah, no parents.
