How are we in a state of the theme where I'd unironically love to get the villain goons in sets again. Super low budget for lego too, just a re-used face and no torso print.

Because we didn't appreciate the Bionicle Green Lantern

You accuse me of mocking and yet you make such a blunder as expecting the mad hatter figure to come with a top hat? Lego doesn't have the budget for that! They know all the REAL batman fans have that purple top hat from 4+ arkham, so he'll be included without it as an "easter egg" to that set. Also he uses a totally different head print, this one. Totally different facial structure and expression.

You're arrogance is only matched by your ignorance, you think he'll come with a head? The figure will be the generic torso and legs with the instructions advertising you can get the hat from the Juniors Arkham and the head from the Harry Potter set with nonce-y rat guy from like 2004 to make the full figure. the set will have an innovative app integration where scanning the set will overheat a child's I-pad blowing it up to replicate the pipe bomb the Joker has put in the courtroom (£800)

Buddy, we can’t even get villains in sets anymore.

Could we get LEGO sets from that LEGO Batman game? The new one? Or is it too violent...

Not true, we have Batman's archenemy this wave, Golden Batman.

I will not tolerate this batfleck slander. He's certainly an antiheroic batman in BvS one who's lost his way after losing Robin (or potentially the original Joker successfully turning Robin into a joker batman beyond style, I think there's some solid evidence for that), but he's never an outright villain, and has a four straight hours of redemption arc afterwards.

That is my fault, I didn't realize that lego had teamed up with apple.

No, LEGO batman is too violent for lego to make sets on. He's one of the most evil versions of the character- none of the live-action batman ever tore generic criminals limb from limb in wild melees.

We are getting three Batmobiles set from the game - that's it. One is based on Batman VS Superman (no superman), one from Batman and Robin (with no Robin), and one from the Batman.

No, I speak for you now. Your favourite movie is Doogal, you were born in New Jersey, you spent you life trying to be the first American pope and since your dreams were shattered you make up for it by denying the truth of LEGO Batman sets

Yes they have, it's an interesting story actually, both were acquired by Amazon after they bought every company Warner Bros had been bought out by before and now the AmazonAppleDiscoveryAT&TWarnerLEGO corporation has been granted UN membership and decided the only way to fix overpopulation was to kill off random kids.

I feel like that's kinda a gray area. We wouldn't call like the 2020 Star Wars wave sets based off the Skywalker saga though they were made to tie in and came with codes. Is this any different?

Depends, the game isn't out, I hear it's fulfilling Frank Miller's dream by adapting Holy Terror as a Batman story, depending on how many pigs they throw into the cut scenes they might be able to sneak in a set or two

I feel like impersonating the pope is probably a bridge too far but I was really tempted to reply to this with "you can't prove I failed"

Right, I remember seeing something in the news about them reviving Thomas Malthus to be the CEO. They couldn't get him to come in for a few days after being defrosted because he kept watching Infinity War on loop.

Would you be impersonating him though, open for debate.

It's a shame the most powerful member of the UN gets their ideas or what crimes against humanity to do from marvel movies, they might give Jared leto work next

You can drive a car over the residents of Gotham City. So no sets from this videogame.

I assumed they were responsible for Morbius 2, the one where they 3-D print Robomorbius and he rides a lightcycle around for a half hour or so.

True. Definitely no sets from this game. Just don't check lego.com

Mmmm, they'd never do a LEGO set depicting the death of innocents, you're right

No, he's right, there are tie in sets but no more based on the game than the summer 2020 Star wars ones were for the skywalker saga. I don't think we'd call the 501st pack or the Knights of Ren ship Skywalker saga sets eve though the box displayed the logo and codes and they were released to tie in

 No, that was the Jonkler, he was in the film briefly twice as a cameo and the lead

[BrickBob Studpants]

Yeah, Batman as an IP is way too violent for LEGO in general. That’s why the new CEO, John L. Ego, has cancelled the theme and will personally annihilate every single copy of all DC sets with a sledgehammer.

Just realised, when the Daily Bugle goes this year that means Angry Clone will finally be retired forever, this means we can never have a LEGO Superman ever again

How dare you, White Yoda (pictured below) made the Angry Clones and they served for decades, even despite the fact they lacked all the melanin of the man they were cloned from, even donning the dorky snowtrooper armour the same year that the real clones were finally introduced.

Hmmm, come to think of it maybe they're better gone

Spoiler

 

I don't see anything wrong with the other heads though, they're all fine for generic characters, characters given it never would have been given a unique one in the modern day

It didn't work for clone troopers but now that it's not "every helmeted SW character" it wouldn't mind if they kept it around every now and then. There are still some characters it works for, and at the end of the day so long as we have the variety of faces for grunts we currently do, I'm OK with them not spending more prints on helmeted goons.

I thought the angry clones were clones of Space Paul Giamatti, hence why they used the head for Rhino as well.

Do "Movie" and "glory" not rhyme in england? Over here they both end in the -ee sound.

Maybe Paul Giamatti is what you get when you drain Temuera Morrison's New Zealand-ness with a big syringe. Wonder who'd you get if you tried the same with Peter Jackson

Lego finally makes sets for Superman (2025). However, each set has a smart brick and all the minifigures are smart minifigures. What would you guys do in this situation?

Jailbreak Superman so he just says the "like a bright Kryptonite" speech

[Dolor]

The reason we don't get Superman sets is simple. Movie failed... and it is not a good movie. So no sets. Now or in the future. 

Even when the name is DC Comics Superheroes, we all know it means only Batman. For me that is fine but I liked Justice League (Snyder Cut) for example Cyborg, Parademons, even Green lantern... For me superman is BIG JOKE. Upcoming Batman Lego game is best thing that can happen. Now we only need a movies. Lego and Live-Action.

The film turned a profit in theaters, was the highest grossing comic book movie of the year, and is getting a sequel. By no metric did it fail.

As for it being a “bad movie”, the audience and critic reviews say otherwise.
