In The Lego Batman Movie, the gravel-voiced superhero spends a lot of quality time with the ‘Batcomputer’ – largely because he hasn’t got too many other friends.

Now Apple’s Siri voice assistant will reward you with jokes about Batman’s passion for lobster thermidor if you address it like Batman does – saying, ‘Hey ‘Puter.’

If you’re feeling more formal, saying ‘Hey Computer’ will also work.

Siri responds with a variety of Lego Batman-themed jokes or simply replies, ‘How can I help you Lego Batman?’

There’s also a few jokes which should tickle fans of the hit film, such as, ‘Hello, sir. I’ve heated up your lobster thermidor in the microwave. I’m one step ahead of you, Alfred,’ and ‘Hello, sir. Alfred is on the 17th floor, caulking the tiles in the second bathroom of the fifth master bedroom.’

It’s not the first in-joke from pop culture to be found within Siri – with Game of Thrones fans discovering that Siri had a few jokey replies to the question, ‘Is Jon Snow dead?’

One of the replies which greeted fans was, ‘I don’t know. I just hope someone is setting up doggie daycare for Ghost.’
