It's even funnier that for some reason he decided to give new titles to both of those movies.

I have no idea what's going through his head.

Maybe Netflix try to trick people into thinking they‘re new movies?  At least he had the common sense to still call the Snydercut „Justice League“, without a misleading subtitle. That seems to have completely gone out the window now  The silver lining is that Rebel Moon’s reception has been lukewarm at best, so maybe even his fans (or rather cultists?) will finally move on

Lukewarm? Even his biggest fans know this ain't it. 

The whole director's cut bit is ridiculous here. It made sense for Justice League, but here it feels like nothing but a corporate ploy to get people invested.

Don't we ALL want that Superman (2025) will be a success?

(by the way, I have been watching football... MOC progress 0 % :/) ... Germany, Switzerland MAYBE, just maybe a WONDER teen in Spain will bring glory for Spain).

Yes, we indeed do.

You may want it to be a success because if it fails there’s a chance of A) Robin and other Batfamily characters may never show up in live action ever again, and B) If Superman fails there’s a 99% chance that Lego DC will never be brought back to its former glory. In fact it could possibly be discontinued as a theme.

The real Batman (DC Superheroes) 2024 - Rumors & Discussion  were the friends we made along the way.

Though Turtle wearing clone gear in his honor implies Commando dies in some important thread-related event. But on a "do pugs eat turtles" standpoint, I think a clone commando could take out most of the usernames/pfps in the thread... except for Morb Adam. You planning something, @PGBQW? Are you why @CloneCommando99's now sporting a different trooper as his profile picture?

Yeah. I think if the superman movie fails (and more importantly, system The Batman 2 sets don't do well) there's an actual possibility they move Lego Batman from it's own theme into an Icons subtheme. It's halfway there already.

I’m now scared for my life. What exactly are you insinuating @PGBQW? Am I marked as a sacrifice to the Lego gods so that my life may be traded for the revival of Lego DC Superheroes? If I am fated to do so, it’s been an honour to serve alongside you all.

Depends, If we’re going off the Commandos that were in Bad Batch I’d say that one would be able to take out @legoturtle, @Renny The Spaceman, and @Max_Lego. (Potentially giving @ARC2149Nova a decent fight but ultimately losing.)

If we’re going off Delta Squad, Omega Squad, Theta Squad and Gregor’s level in TCW, comics, books and videogames. I think that one of that type of commando would be able to neutralise everyone except for @PGBQW, @thephantasm, @THELEGOBATMAN (seeing that his pic is the OP TLBM Batman) and @RedHoodPug (seeing that his pug is the almighty Lockjaw specifically, and I like dogs too much to hurt one in any way)

For TLG, the DC license is as important than Marvel license. LEGO wants to do DC sets BUT there is not enough content. ALSO we have a movie made by lego. TLBM. It is something extraordinary. At the moment Marvel gets a lot of attention. Even X-Men. BUT sooner or later also DC will get more attention. MAYBE just maybe, Superman (2025) is only 13 years (age limit) and LEGO has opportunity to make maybe 4-6 sets from that movie.

No it's not.

We all love LEGO and DC here, but let's not act like LEGO cares about it even half as much as they do about Marvel. The latter got five times as many sets this year as the former (exactly 5 vs 25).

The content argument is also totally irrelevant. Name one MCU movie coming out this year that LEGO has made a set for? Oh right, there aren't any. The one movie MCU has this year is something LEGO can't capitalise on.

Same goes for the TLBM argument. It got made because LEGO and WB had an agreement, and so they thought combining LEGO and Batman into one movie was a good idea (it was the best idea). The thing is, LEGO works with Universal now. If they worked with Sony, we'd get a LEGO Spider-Man movie (at that point, maybe not now). 

Marvel has become much less relevant in the recent years, compared to the Phase 3 era. A few projects are extremely successful, but most of them are just a bland slog of content. Has this affected LEGO in any way? Surpsingly, no. It feels like we're still getting as many sets as before.

So to sum up — no, right now DC is not as important to LEGO as Marvel and no, it has nothing to do with the recent content. There is room for improvement tho — the DCU.

If it's successful, if the general audience becomes once again interested in DC characters that are not Batman, LEGO will notice that and they will capitalise on that. 

As for Superman, it will obviously be PG-13. Hoping for 4–6 sets is ridiculous tho. At this point, we'll be lucky to get even a single set — but do not expect more than three sets. That would already be the most beautiful day LEGO DC has seen in years.

[legoturtle]

Well, Marvel sets are more WOKE. So it is good for LEGO. For example Miles Morales. 

In Batman there are mostly men. White men. LEGO Marvel is easier for them. 

311 vs 172

something like that :/

[THELEGOBATMAN]

Oh hell nah, Mr. Turtle being an "anti-woke" Miles Morales-hater was not on my 2024 bingo card.

Well, I don't think there are much less women is DC than Marvel. You've got Wonder Woman, you've got Batgirl and there are lot of iconic women among the villains. And there are black characters too, Cyborg is pretty important one.
Also, unlike the most of other big corporation, I don't think that LEGO is so obsessed with forced diversity. Sure, if there's a natural opportunity to do some representation, they take it but they never restructure their sets and themes just for diversity's sake. And because of their trend of yellow faces in non-licensed themes, they don't feature characters of colors even in some places where it would make total sense (well, I don't think themes like City or Ninjago need any representation and in Castle, black characters wouldn't fit in the setting but Dreamzzz is all about the variety of people and their worlds and it's also very colorful so it would look even better if the characters would also be colorful).

I refer you to the Indiana Jones thread, circa January.

Not Lockjaw, but a ridiculously obscure character from the Harley Quinn New 52 run, called Arthur. Can't really comment on his power set but for the sake of argument he's a pug so he can definitely fly and talk. 

[BrickBob Studpants]

Not this nonsense again  There’s no stupid conspiracy, Marvel gets more sets because it sells better, simple as that. The only chance DC has to be on par with Marvel again is the DCU. If it does well and reignites public interest (especially among kids), the DC theme will return to its former self. If it doesn’t, look forward to more Batmobiles and Jonklers

Sorry. I thought it was Lockjaw. Just with his crown cropped out.
I’m more a Labrador guy myself. (Lucky the Pizza Dog supremacy). But yes a Clone Commando probably couldn’t kill a dog because he would be subdued by their cuteness and also because the Dog is too powerful.

I took a look. And geez. Turtle started his villain arc far before I realised.

 

@legoturtle I bring to your attention to: Jace Fox Batman, Signal, Bluebird, Batwoman, Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown. All are what you probably perceive as “woke” members of the Batfamily. Yet where are half of them in sets? Your argument is flawed.

That’s not even accounting for wider DC characters. Jo Mullein, Jon Kent, Yara Flor, John Stewart, Cyborg, Jessica Cruz, Vixen, Kaldur… the list goes on and on.

Lego just doesn’t care as much about DC as Marvel. I feel like the reuse of only one figure in the Batman mech whilst the venom mech had two reused figures clarified that. Deal with it. It’s time you faced the truth.

And the other thing is that TLG have just so many options to choose from when it comes to Marvel. The Infinity Saga alone consists of 23 films, most of which were well received and are still popular. Sure, phases 4 and 5 aren’t doing quite as well to say the least, but still, new movies continue to get sets for the most part and even the shows have some representation. So they won‘t run out of material and popular characters anytime soon

DC on the other hand has just concluded a failed cinematic universe and no popular shows are airing. So it shouldn‘t come as a surprise that the theme is in the position it‘s in, at least as long as there‘s nothing to spark general audiences‘ interest, which the DCU will hopefully achieve.

Also, I can‘t take anyone seriously who unironically uses the word „woke“  Come on.

Well clearly you yourself are woke then. You see the reason LEGO does more marvel than DC is marvel is anti woke (iron-man is friends with Elon musk, the villains are always people who want to improve society) and DC is woke so Lego (because they have taken their brain force pill) loves anti woke and hates the woke mob. Why is DC woke? Well just look at their characters, (The Woker, Wokea-dot man) point proven. LEGO should make more sets based on based anti woke media like they did with their minions 2 sets

Marvel's got the Infinity saga. No matter what trash they are producing now, they ultimately succeeded. Just like Star Wars and Disney's arrogant confidence.

You're wrong. How could you even say that?

DC is quite on par with Marvel with the subject. But Marvel still left DC far behind in terms of quantity of certain character type... No, I don't want to explain any further...

I think Tim is the only one here that would be guiltily of "woke", and even then, he's still one of if not the best Robin. 

People like basically everyone you just mentioned, or at the bare minimum find them inoffensive. I think DC's issue is mantle oversaturation, not any "forced diversity".

DC at least can still tell engaging stories. Marvel has just gotten stale. People only care when the stories nosedive in quality.

Oh no, don’t get me wrong, I love all those characters. I was just bringing Turtle’s attention to how flawed his argument is. As seeing that most of those could blatantly be called “Woke.” I do no such thing, they are all good characters. (New 52 Batwoman run and Wayne Family Adventures are peak fiction)

First of all. I will take on no such task. As that would mean that I’m intentionally looking for flaws in one of my favourite DC characters. I will perform no such treachery.

Secondly, come at me nerf-herder! This is my champion.

You can blow me up in a borderline nuclear explosion, you can shoot me in the head without my helmet, you can maroon me on a desert planet to rot.

But I’ll kriffing survive somehow and come back to take names and kick your megablocks.
