I thought he was a spoiler, but I guess he is getting marketing* I don't particularly care if we get a civilian Barry or not, but his Batman/flash suit would be awesome. Zod would be nice too, the set needs a villain after all, though ofc they could just slot in Black Flash. Apparently the new Batfleck suit is blue/gray? Which means it'd also be excellent to get. Here's my guess: Most likely: Keatonman with the standard cowl and re-used torso, Main Flash, Supergirl (new torso, re-used head, no leg print). Better, but slightly less likely: Keatonman with the standard cowl and re-used torso, Main Flash, and 2 of either Supergirl, Zod, Black Flash, or Barry 2. My personal want would be Keaton and the 3 flashes, but no way they don't put supergirl in the set. Very unlikely: Getting 5 or more figs, or a batcycle side build with Batfleck. 43 minutes ago, NovaBricks said: Four words: ”brick built Michael Gough” Not a minifigure.

ToaDraco Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 I'd love it if they brought back the MoS Kryptonian armor and helmet molds for Zod. I love those pieces.

Like, it's what's going to happen anyway, but the piece was literally molded after that cowl, after all, so it does look pretty good for him. I think the original 2007 cowl looks better because it is bulkier
Agent Kallus Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 It'd be cool it they made the same Batman cowl sans rubber cape.
THELEGOBATMAN Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 Anyone else feels like it would've made more sense to switch the vehicles between The Flash and Batman 1989 sets? The Batwing could easily be accessible to more minifigures, resulting in more play value for kids. It could include Batman and both Flashes, all of them in the Batwing, with Kara flying next to them. The Batmobile, on the other hand, feels like a Batman-only vehicle (and why would The Flash use a car ), so it would've made sense to make it a set for the solo Batman movie.
Agent Kallus Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 (edited) I haven't seen the flash film yet so I dunno. Also for the price of the flash set, I'm hoping the batmobile isn't the only build. Edited February 13, 2023 by Agent Kallus
THELEGOBATMAN Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 Yeah, it's wierd because you'd think a Batwing with those massive wings would be bigger than a long car, and yet the latter will include nearly 100 pieces more for an additional 10€. One can dream, but I hope it includes Batcave elements or a small Zod's aircraft.

GoldenNinja3000 Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 I absolutely need a Supergirl minifigure. Sasha Calle looks incredible and we haven't gotten a LEGO Supergirl in years!

And yeah, since he's on official merchandise, why wouldn't we talk about him? Ah, dang. You sent me down a rabbit hole of "but isn't this just black flash" and I went too deep. I kept going way after I found out dark flash's role and I saw some spoilers that I kinda wish I hadn't seen. But the film honestly sounds like the best DCEU movie. Might even beat Snyder Cut for me personally, and definately will for most people (I just really like snyder cut. It feels almost like a mythical story rather than a superhero movie, and it manages to take itself really seriously while also not being remotely grounded, which is not a combination we've really ever had before.) But yeah, you're right, it's definately a separate character. 1 hour ago, Agent Kallus said: It'd be cool it they made the same Batman cowl sans rubber cape.

What made me more excited than any promotional materials we've seen so far are the reactions from test screenings. Multiple sources — including ViewerAnon, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, BossLogic — have said that the movie has been received extraordinarily well at test screenings. Apparently it got the best score for a DC movie since The Dark Knight, and some people even called it one of the greatest comicbook movies they've ever seen. Not to mention James Gunn praising it, whose opinion is really valuable imo (and no, he doesn't lie — if Gunn says it's great, then he truly thinks so).

I’m really concerned about whether main flash gets a new cowl though. The new one for the suit is really unique with its wings, so I hope they don’t reuse the JL one. I agree with your ranking on least to most likely minfigures, and I too would prefer getting all 3 flashes ;( . If lego were to be kind enough to give us 4 figures it might become my favorite DC set ever lol. 48 minutes ago, THELEGOBATMAN said: What made me more excited than any promotional materials we've seen so far are the reactions from test screenings. SAME! It’s the film I’m most hyped about behind Oppenheimer
Agent Kallus Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 The 3 biggest characters in the promotions are Flash, Batman and Superman. If we get more than that I feel like we'd get another character over a repeat, so Batfleck and Barry junior don't seem too likey unless the side build is the batfleck cycle. I feel like they'd want a vilian too so maybe Zod or that evil flash ( I don't want to know too much prior to seeing the films so I'll leave it there) 2 hours ago, Mandalorianknight said: Could also just be a larger batmobile than we're used to. I hope not, I mean seating more people would be nice but I don't want it be too out of proportion with other vehicles.

Well we know they can’t use the Keaton torso because it doesn’t have the bat signal (https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=973pb3720c01&idColor=11#T=C&C=11). If they end up using the torso from The Lego Batman Movie I’ll be PISSED. Watch them end up using The Lego Batman Movie torso because it doesn’t have a belt printed on it and they could just use the black utility belt part. 🙄

I think this was discussed at least a little bit a page or so ago, but is there the possibility of a second set for The Flash? If the first includes Flash, the Keaton Batman, and Supergirl, then maybe a second set could include the other Barry, the Affleck Batman, and Dark Flash with the batcycle from the trailer and maybe a side build of some kind. At least this movie is getting a set and with its marketing push at least has a higher chance of getting an additional set or release of some kind (polybag perhaps) than other DC movies.

Idk, even with a second set I doubt it. The thing is (I hope this works) If I remember the leaks correctly, Batfleck wasn't having that big of a role in the movie originally, if any at all. But the reshoots gave him some of Keaton's scenes (or something like that) for whatever reason. Meaning the set was likely designed before Batfleck got the role he will have in the final product and thus he might not even have been considered for said set.

(your tag worked 👍) it’s a shame he may not get a minifigure. It’s a shame too that by virtue of the price of the set it presumably won’t include all the seemingly essential characters from the film; it will at least include Flash, the Keaton Batman, and probably Supergirl, but it seems unlikely it would include the second Barry and Dark Flash as well (and there’s the aforementioned Affleck Batman.) I could maybe see the set including Dark Flash but I don’t know if it would include both him and Supergirl. I think the US price is $44.99 and I don’t know how many minifigures would be included. There is also General Zod but at least he and the version/variant that would be included already exist. Edited February 15, 2023 by SuperSquidman
Nylock Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 Looking back at the leaked torso, I’m really glad that they decided to go with a non “powered-up” design. I think it would’ve looked too busy if they put the lightning/energy lines on it. Plus the details on the suit look great anyway. Very hyped for that minifig in particular. Hoping that there’s leg printing on both the front and side for the partial gold boots (prolly not gonna happen tho).
BrickBob Studpants Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 I was already looking forward to the movie, but after that trailer, the hype levels are through the roof First time I‘m this excited for a DCEU movie! Hopefully the set delivers, especially in the minifig department. So many cool characters to choose from!

But maybe it works if I see the entire figure. On a sidenote, when I was looking back at the 4 month old torso leak I noticed in the comments talks about a technic batcycle (in between all the stuff we actually knew about 4 months ago). Has that rumour since been killed or is that still on the tables?
