If there’s one thing that’s getting me through this loooooong January, it’s the fact that February brings with it The LEGO Batman Movie. AÂ hilarious new featurette for the film has me more excited than ever for the first solo Batman movie to hit theaters since The Dark Knight Rises… Also in today’s Movie Morsels, the latest poster for Logan, a soundtrack update for Beauty and the Beast, a new clip from John Wick: Chapter 2, and more!
The LEGO Batman Movie
Since The LEGO Batman Movie serves as a spoof not only of the fabled Dark Knight but of superhero movies in general, it’s entirely fitting that its new “Behind the Bricks” featurette should function as a parody of behind-the-scenes videos. To that end, it contains interviews not with the film’s voice cast but with Batman himself, as well as Robin, Batgirl, Alfred, and the Joker. Each explaining why they think the movie is really about them. Enjoy!
Logan
Grizzled, frazzled, bedraggled, and maybe even a few words that don’t end in “led,” Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine looks like he’s seen happier days in the latest poster for director James Mangold’s Logan… I really want an alternate version of this poster… one in which ‘ol Wolvie looks bedazzled!

Beauty and the Beast
It turns out that Celine Dion won’t be the only adult contemporary performer lending their vocals to Disney’s live-action Beauty and the Beast soundtrack. Ever-popular piano crooner Josh Groban will also be chipping in, with a new song titled “Evermore”…

By the way, did you happen to check out that article we ran yesterday on the new Beauty and the Beast character posters? If not, what are you waiting for? The posters offer a first glimpse of the Beast’s human servants, as well as the Beast himself, before they were cursed.

John Wick: Chapter 2
Wanna know what’s more chilling than John Wick checking into a hotel? John Wick getting fitted for a new suit! Yep, the latest clip from John Wick: Chapter 2 sees Keanu Reeves gunman getting ready for business by suiting up in a very special set of threads…
For even more John Wick fun, here’s a new featurette in which Reeves, his co-star Common, and the film’s crew discuss shooting the sequel’s action scenes. Anyone up for a little “gun fu”?
Black Panther
In case you missed it yesterday, Marvel has released the first official synopsis for its Black Panther solo movie, which provides plenty of fuel for fan speculation as it describes the principal conflict the Wakandan king/superhero will face.

Star Wars
Finally today… Mondo has certainly produced its fair share of drool-worthy limited edition movie poster prints over the years, and its latest such pieces showcase two characters from the Star Wars universe: Princess Leia and… ah, but that would be telling. Check ’em out here!
