Villains of "The LEGO Batman Movie" in Graffiti-Art Posters

Fresh from last week's big reveal of the main characters in Warner Animation Group's The LEGO Batman Movie, the studio has now released the graffiti-inspired character posters of the “supporting” villains helping out major baddie The Joker.

Getting their own posters are iconic Gotham bad guys Catwoman, Mr. Freeze, Penguin, Poison Ivy and the Riddler.

In the irreverent spirit of fun that made The LEGO® Movie a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble – LEGO Batman – stars in his own big-screen adventure. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.
