Chris McKay, director of the 2017 animated feature The LEGO Batman Movie, has taken to Twitter to reveal that development is underway on a sequel to The LEGO Movie spinoff.
We are working on that rn actually! In the meantime LEGO Batman is all over LEGO 2 coming in February. — Chris McKay (@buddboetticher) December 5, 2018
The LEGO Batman Movie grossed $312 million globally upon its release in 2017, so it shouldn’t really come as much of a surprise that Warner Bros. is working on a sequel. And, as McKay states, Will Arnett’s Caped Crusader will be returning to screens this February in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part.
What this does raise however is further questions about the status of McKay’s planned live-action Nightwing movie. The director has recently signed on to direct a live-action Jonny Quest movie for Warner Bros. and also has Dungeons & Dragons on his slate for Paramount Pictures. Throw The LEGO Batman Movie 2 into the mix and it’s really starting to seem unlikely that the Nightwing film will ever see the light of day, despite McKay’s recent comments that the planned Dick Grayson movie isn’t quite dead just yet.

"Batman never skips legs day" is still one of the best, most unexpected, lines that made me lol in movie history.
Edit: Dayum... My most upvoted comment and I didn't even get the quote exactly right.

"My name is Richard Grayson but all the kids at the orphanage call me Dick"
"Well children can be cruel"

All joking aside, I was surprised at how deep the Lego Batman movie was, it really makes a lot of sense that Batman would struggle with maintaining relationships with a family and the overarching fear of losing them again.
