A teaser trailer for Warner Brother's upcoming film, "The Lego Batman Movie", was recently released. Audiences were first introduced to this Lego form of our lovable crime fighting vigilante, Batman, in "The Lego Movie". This is a spinoff of that movie, which was released in 2014. Fans of the Justice League can be just as excited for this film as they can be for "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice", considering this movie has a confirmed sighting of at least 8 of the Justice League members. These include Batman, Superman, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Green Lantern, and the Flash.
Obviously, with any film featuring the Flash, there is a chance that the Rogues will make an appearance. The role might be as big as their beginning role in "Justice League: Flash Point Paradox", or as small as a cameo or Easter egg. It is officially confirmed that one of the Rogues will be appearing in "The Lego Batman Movie", and that Rogue is none other than George "Digger" Harkness, also known as Captain Boomerang.
The trailer gave us a quick glimpse of Digger getting kicked in the face by Batman. In the process he loses both his hat, his gun, and his tooth. It is unclear if he will be fighting with the Rogues, with the Suicide Squad, or with a bunch of random villains, but at one point in the film he will be considered a bad guy, worthy of getting beat up by Batman. The other villains in the background are hard to make out, but in the screen shot before, with Batman jumping in th air, one can see the Scarecrow in a sort of helicopter. Scarecrow is solely a Batman, not a Flash, villain. It may be possible that a major part of the plot of the film will be all DC villains joining together to fight the Justice League. Something interesting to note is that Digger is not holding a boomerang, but a gun. Either the gun holds an important part to the story, a boomerang was to difficult to animate, or the writers were just being lazy.
Whether more Rogues will show up, or if Captain Boomerang will get a speaking part is unknown. Whatever happens, it is nice to see one of the major Rogues getting shown up close on the big screen, even if they are getting kicked in the jaw. Plus, the possibility of getting more Rogues than just Captain Cold in a Lego set to build is very exciting.
