No one works harder than Rob, and his aesthetic, combined with his sense of humor, bring a strong, unique, thoughtful, and passionately nerdy voice to this project. People who know him are slapping their foreheads today and saying, ‘Of course!’ ”

Schrab has a big shoes to fill with the original earning almost $470M and instigating a franchise with upcoming Ninjago slated for a September 23, 2016 release and an Batman LEGO feature due out in May 2017.
