The animated adventure film, showing a world based on the
colorful toy building bricks, sees the Batman/Bruce Wayne
character from 2014's "The Lego movie" fighting crime in Gotham
City before going home to self-imposed solitude.
"Vocally, physically, it would get hard. After four hours of
doing it, I'd be pretty spent," Arnett told Reuters in an
interview. "Because... it doesn't feel great to constantly be
talking like this," he added, while adopting Batman's voice.
With a production budget of $60 million, "The Lego Movie"
grossed some $469 million at the box office worldwide, according
to website Box Office Mojo.
In "The Lego Batman Movie", the character's loneliness is a
focus for a lot of the film's humor.
"He is a billionaire and he's handsome and he has got this great
house and he's got all these great gadgets - why is he so
upset?," Arnett said. "And it really made us laugh, we were
thinking: 'What is it about his life that he feels is
incomplete, we should get into that'.
"The Lego Batman Movie" hits cinemas worldwide from Feb. 8.
