Rosario Dawson is Batgirl in the 'Lego Batman' Movie


With roles in both Sin City and Marvel's Daredevil, Rosario Dawson knows a thing or two about comic book universes. Obviously she can't get enough of them, and her next one will also include a world populated by talking toy Legos.

Dawson has signed on to voice Barbara Gordon aka Batgirl in Lego Batman. Chris McKay, animation director on The Lego Movie, will direct with Will Arnett returning as the most conceited Batman ever. His Arrested Development pal Michael Cera is voicing Robin, and Zach Galifianakis is the Joker.  Think they can find a way to re-enact The Killing Joke and make it funny? Eh, probably not, but you never know.

Lego Batman opens May 26th 2017. You'll be able to see Dawson in Marvel's Jessica Jones later this year, and she has also lent her voice to the upcoming Ratchet & Clank movie. [THR]
