Lego Batman: Super-Villains is an upcoming American computer-animated superhero film based on the DC Comics superhero of the same name. Produced by Warner Animation Group and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is intended to be the 8th film in the franchise and the sequel of Lego Batman (2017). The film will be directed by Chris McKay from a screenplay by the writing team of Michael Waldron and Dan Harmon.

Warner Bros. began work on a Lego Batman sequel after its box office successes with Mckay announcing his directorial return in December 2018. Plot details were first announced in March 2019, when Chris Morgan joined the initial writing team. However, Mckay's busy schedule led to delays on the project, which had an initial release date of 2022. Morgan left the project in December 2020, and Waldron and Harmon were named writers in 2021 as replacements. The script had rewrites in mid-2022, after setting an initial release date in the same month. Production, at the hands of Animal Logic, began at the end of April 2023 in Australia.

Lego Batman: Super-Villains is scheduled to be released in the United States on March 28, 2025.
