From 4.45pm today until Sunday, the character will appear during the broadcaster’s continuity announcements to provide his own introductions to shows. At times, the ads will appear between shows too.
Will Arnett, the actor who provides the voiceover for the character in the film, will also voice the ads.
There are 18 animated intros that will be shown across four days in more than 40 ad breaks. It is the first time that Channel 4 has done this.
The ads were written by Omnicom’s Drum and produced by Warner Bros Pictures. PHD brokered the deal.
In 2014, Warner Bros took over an ad break on ITV to promote The Lego Movie by recreating the ads using Lego.
The Lego Batman Movie will be released on 10 February.
Martin Gough, deputy marketing director at Warner Bros UK, said: "We are delighted to be able to bring Lego Batman’s hilarity to life in such a contextually perfect and high-profile platform as Channel 4’s peak time schedule.
"Whilst this partnership might not land him a full-time job as a continuity announcer anytime soon, I’m sure it will make a big impact in the run-up to the launch of the movie."
18 adverts?! Will Arnett has been busy!professes his love of Lego and creates a few things.
He builds small abstract "scenes" in the episode. I've added a few.

He has the Lego model of Mountain Dwellings (I think or it's of the 8 House or VM Houses) in his company's HQ.
But, whatever. I'm surr I'd be banned in advance if I actually attempted to contribute to their forum.
I have never had any difficulty contributing there without trouble from the admins, but I tend to have a pretty "play-it-safe" attitude. I am aware that people have gotten into trouble for not-so-valid reasons and that other people have gotten away with crap that probably should've gotten some sterner repercussions, so I'm not gonna pretend it's a bastion of fairness, but I also am not sure the reputation they seem to have here of banning people willy-nilly is quite warranted.
Yeah I enjoy the Brickset Forums and the other sites I browse. Can't replace Eurobricks though :)
Stash2Sixx a eurobricks moderator on the star wars forum today:
"Painful is an understatement! I need to remove a few people here"
I think that some of their own moderators use this reputation to try and control people in a way you wouldn't find acceptable in any other walk of life.
When you get sent to the "chamber" if you say anything other than 'I am really sorry for everything I have done' then your done for. If you give the impression that you have free will and are willing to challenge their views then your done for.
They also don't seem to take any consideration of the amount you post or how long you have been on the site. So if in their book someone posts twice and has two questionable posts they will let them stay if they have 1000 posts and 3 questionable ones they won't.
I used to post all of the time on eurobricks mainly on their themed topics (LOTR, DC, Marvel, Star Wars) so most of my post were 'that set looks really good, love the...'. But on brickset I been a lot more controversial 'I think the whole forum could do with a redesign', 'Women in NASA is sexist' and so on. I am sure a lot of people here think its obvious why I was banned there. But on eurobricks I was a boy scout and still got banned so I guess I would say don't worry about it.
There isn't another Lego forum the size of eurobricks and its size helps the site a lot. It means you can have sub forums with continuing conversations. So if someone just loves pirates they can talk about it all year round even when there are no sets available. But I think the success of eurobricks happened by mistake. The modartors hate these kinds of conversations that are undirected and often off topic. Eurobricks success comes from its members and it's a shame the staff don't realise and value this.
But I think if there was a real alternative to eurobricks I think a lot of people would leave because it is moderated badly, its not just that's its overbearing as @Aanchir said its very inconsistent too.
^ It doesn't seem to be a problem here, this is the "Lego On TV programs" thread if we were on eurobricks we would all be 'taking a time out' for off topic talk.
The Brickset forum is really more of a chat forum, whereas EB is a bit more serious when it comes to information. Which is a bit strange given the lack of signature images on BS whereas they are on EB (often you'd think the more serious one wouldn't have large signatures allowed). But then they do two quite different jobs. EB is great for MOCs and so on, whereas BS historically was against this and more focussed on set / collection discussion.
Stay on target? SOD OFF!
(Summoning Comic Book Guy) - Worst moderation EVER...
He ended up being wrong that time and I even showed proof! Seems like the mods don't remember Nekchir.
and when I talk about this stuff I don't mean to.. insult / disrespect the moderators over there. I've had a lot of friendly chats with a few of them... I'm just discussing how things happened.
Don't know whether the desk in question belonged to a police officer, but either way it gets me wondering how many cops might be out there who are Lego City collectors. It's not like they're underrepresented... :P
Spider-Man Homecoming trailer
Nooooo!!! Now he's gonna have to spend the next couple days rebuilding.
American Dad, Season 9, Episode 6: "Independent Movie"
Steve and his friends are going to enter the tri-county LEGO competition with "The Four Stages of Ron Howard":
- Opie (not pictured)
- Richie Cunningham
- Ron Howard the Director, with and without hat.
Only on screen for 10-20 seconds but it was a good MOC.
Supposedly built by the electrician borrowing Lego from his Grandson. Probably not....
Used Lego Creator houses to demonstrate how Russian Interweb Trolls are trying to ruin everyone's countries by trolling on social media. :)
Do not watch this if destruction of lego models offends you. :)
Sandi Toksvig pretended? to become quite upset.
I actually have a neat little mini coffee table book about that Lego House. It is pretty cool.
Is the program still available on the BBC player?
There hasn't been a new Toy Stories for a while now - it seems that The Reassembler has become his Christmas show for the time being (which is equally interesting IMO, but in a different way).
