The Lego Batman Movie billboards...

This February the superhero action is building brick by brick with The Lego Batman Movie bursting onto the big screen.

These vibrant, light-hearted billboards are the perfect tonic for all the real life dramas making the world a gloomier place day after day.

Following his standout role in 2014's The Lego Movie, the Dark (plastic) Knight returns along with a whole host of super-friends to battle evil and save the day.

Now not only does the Caped Crusader (voiced by Will Arnett) need to protect Gotham City from his archenemies, but he now has the added responsibility of raising a Boy Wonder he has adopted (voiced by Michael Cera).

It looks like the computer-animated comedy is set to be another comic book hit at the box office (and you know it'll be more jovial than Batman v Superman).

These hilarious billboards for The Lego Batman Movie were spied along the Sunset Strip, Santa Monica Boulevard, Fairfax Avenue, Westwood Boulevard and The Grove from January 14 to January 29, 2017.

Fans of The Dark Knight can also enjoy all these Batman movie and video game billboards from recent years.

Plus you should also check out these billboards for The Lego Movie from around the streets and skies of L.A. in January 2014.

Let's hope the superhero spoof in Lego form can help save the day and lift everyone's spirits, because we could all use a good laugh about now.

UPDATED: If you thought the outdoor ad campaign for The Lego Batman Movie was fun, you ain't seen nothing yet.

Warner Bros. really showed their love for the toy building blocks brand by giving all their DC Comics television heroes on The CW, Batman's TV prequel hometown of Gotham and their sitcoms a Lego makeover.

In a genius bit of marketing they transformed all their usual studio billboards into Lego versions, built to replicate each show's sets and designs, and photographed for the outdoor ads along Olive Avenue in Burbank, California.

In addition to these customised billboards, The CW's superhero shows end-cards also received the Lego treatment to tie-in with the movie's theatrical release.

These fun billboards were unveiled along the busy commuter road on February 6 at the start of the week before the film opened in cinemas on February 10, but due to inclement weather weren't photographed until February 12, 2017.

The extra effort seemed to pay off as the movie beat both Fifty Shades Darker and John Wick: Chapter 2 at the box office, grossing over $53 million in the U.S. in its first weekend.

Not content with taking over all the studio billboards, they also wrapped the water tower in an ad for the movie too, now that's dedication (or good integrated marketing).
