It turns out the Brick Knight doesn't ALWAYS work alone. Just don't call him Batboy.

While he may insist he works alone, Will Arnett's Brick Knight gets a lot of help in two new promos for "The LEGO Batman Movie."

The first, titled "The Team,"serves as a roll call of sorts, introducing the vigilante and heavy-metal rapping machine and Gotham City's other key players: The Joker (Zach Galifianakis), who gives himself a nickname (always a bad idea); frail, little bird Robin (Michael Cera): Batgirl (Rosario Dawson); Alfred (Ralph Fiennes). Oh, and Condiment King, although not by name.

The next spot gives a little more love to Batgirl, While not a hugger, Bruce Wayne and Batman seem to be smitten by Barbara Gordon, Gotham's newest police commissioner by day and masked vigilante by night.

Directed by Chris McKay from a script by Seth Grahame-Smith, Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers, the first spinoff of 2014's "The LEGO Movie" stars Will Arnett as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Michael Cera as Robin, Ralph Fiennes as Alfred, Zach Galifianakis as The Joker and Rosario Dawson as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl. "The LEGO Batman Movie" opens Feb. 10.
