WAYNE MANOR A brand new teaser trailer for The Lego Batman Movie was released Monday, packed with plenty of offbeat humor and mislaid karate moves.

The Lego Batman Movie, an offshoot of the wildly successful original Lego Movie that grossed nearly $500 million after premiering in 2014, stars Will Arnett (Arrested Development) as the deep-throated voice of the caped crusader. Joining Arnett on the star-studded cast roster are Ralph Fiennes (Lord Voldemort in the Harry Potter series) as Alfred, Michael Cera (Juno) will voice sidekick Robin and Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover) will play Batmans arch nemesis: the Joker.

The teaser trailer released by Lego pays homage to Batman film history in meta fashion, referencing all of the previous movies by years and even showing a clip of the Adam West original movie and calling it that weird one in 1966.

If you enjoyed the fast-paced, reference-heavy humor of The Lego Movie, this trailer indicates youre in for a treat.

Lego released Mondays trailer on the heels of another one that showed off the Lego Batcave. It was unleashed on the Internet Thursday and took viewers inside Bruce Waynes inner sanctum.

Hopefully, you're not too eager because The Lego Batman Movie wont be out for another year. It currently has a release date of Feb. 10, 2017.

THE BIG EASY — Yeah, yeah, we all know that New Orleans is stuffed to the gills will incredible musicians.

But knowing that fact and then hearing that fact are two different things. You can step into any number of jazz clubs on any given night on Bourbon Street, and you’ll probably be impressed with virtually every act. Or you can sit at home on your comfy couch and watch this featured video.

In the video, you’ll see a woman who is in the groove. She is swinging hard, and wailing on her clarinet with a practiced expertise that makes it sounds so easy.

From note one you’ll be drawn in; your appreciation will grow with every second, and then your face will melt off when you realize how incredible she really is.

If you’ve never played a woodwind or a brass, you may not know everything that comes with a performance like this. Lung capacity and breath control are huge factors in keeping your notes clear and loud, and hitting those high notes is especially difficult.

So when this woman hits that high note and holds it for several seconds, you know you’re dealing with an exceptional musician. It means she has worked hard for years to develop skill on top of her natural talent, and we get to benefit.

It kinda makes you wonder how we let people get away with mumble rap and autotune when talent like this exists in the world.

I wish this video were longer, and I wish I had more information about this woman, but as it is, we’ll just have to appreciate the little flavor of New Orleans jazz posted by the Facebook group Clarinet Life.
