If you caught the very rousing performance of “Everything Is Awesome” during the Oscars, you probably saw Batman wailing on the guitar and wondered if that was, indeed, Will Arnett reprising his role from The Lego Movie. The movie’s director Chris Miller informed everyone on Twitter that yes, that was Arnett playing Batman and he was actually wearing a past Batman’s Batsuit:
FUN FACT: @arnettwill was wearing Val Kilmer's Batman suit from Batman Forever. Really. #EverythingIsAwesome #Oscars

Hey, that is awesome! What’s still not awesome? The fact that this movie was royally snubbed.
