WASHINGTON, March 24 (UPI) -- Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for The Lego Batman Movie, including a glimpse into the Dark Knight's more mundane everyday tasks.

The animated clip shows the Lego-fied Batman character, voiced by Will Arnett, introducing the trailer and entire production as his own work after beat-boxing some "dope tracks."

"Written, directed, sound-mixed, choreographed and painstakingly beat-boxed by me," he said. "Because I'm Batman."

The clip shows the superhero returning to his secret lair after saving the city again and heating up some of his lobster leftovers. "I deserve this today, today I deserve it," he is heard saying before taking a bite out of his dinner.

Directed by Chris McKay, The Lego Batman Movie is a spinoff of 2014's The Lego Movie, and is set for release in theaters Feb. 10, 2017.
