LEGO Batman will provide various alternative, largely self-congratulatory announcements from this evening until February 5 on Channel 4 in his very own style.

Will Arnett who voices LEGO Batman, will be making references to his own accomplishments and 'awesomeness' at any given opportunity.

The first ad will air at 4.45pm today, followed by 18 unique scripted animated intros to a variety of popular Channel 4 shows.

Channel 4 has also launched a competition to find the UK's most talented LEGO builder for a new competition series. They will challenge six pairs of amateur fans against each other to recreate landmarks in miniature scale, to full-sized working vehicles.

Their design, originality and construction skills will be put to the test to be named Britain's most talented amateur Lego builders. 

Contestants can find out how to apply for the series by heading to channel4.com/takepart.
