GOB and George Michael are back together. According to The Wrap, there’s a hidden homage to Arrested Development in the new film The LEGO Batman Movie.
The animated movie stars Arrested Development cast members Will Arnett and Michael Cera as Batman and Robin, respectively. The voice cast also includes Zach Galifianakis, Rosario Dawson, Ralph Fiennes, Mariah Carey, Jenny Slate, and Conan O’Brien.
[SPOILERS AHEAD] In The LEGO Batman Movie, Robin nicknames Batman “padre” and the Dark Knight dubs his sidekick “hijo” in return. Apparently, this is a reference to the Arrested Development episode “Beef Consommé” where GOB (Arnett) doesn’t understand that the Spanish word “hermano” means brother.
Speaking of the Netflix series, EP Brian Grazer says there will be a fifth season and the details are currently being worked out.
