ASLUME (formerly Batman (DC Superheroes) 2024 - Rumors & Discussion)

[Dolor]

This is just an idea?
What if we start writing a script together. The LEGO Batman Movie 2. If there ever was one. BUT the movie is R-rated and the target audience is adults.

Example!
Gotham City 1802. The ruins of Wayne Manor are still smoldering. The hatred towards the Wayne family grew so great that a hundred-strong mob of Gotham residents burned the huge mansion to the ground. Alfred has disappeared and Bruce Wayne has fled. The Gotham City Police Department is losing its grip as a mysterious vampire cult is stalking the residents of Gotham. There are rumors of werewolves and man-bats. Crocodiles living in the sewers and hordes of penguins.

Gotham City in 1802 ... creatures, a cult, is Bruce Wayne a bloodthirsty vampire or an inventive Sherlock Holmes? STORY continues... and final edition will be sent to > LEGO Group.

 

 

 

 

 

Let's not make a JOKE from this but a MASTERPIECE for LEGO GROUP <3 because we love Batman in every possible way. Please continue this or other story...

You’ve provided us with plenty of sidesplitters since you’ve joined, but this might be your funniest joke yet  The mere thought of an R-rated LEGO film has me dying

Perhaps to make it really adult the twist should be Bruce has become the leader of the Vampire cult (only Alfred knows) and he kills Superman so a new hero is needed to shine like a bright Kryptonite, one who cannot be turned as he does not have blood, one already with the right colour scheme...

Spoiler

That's right, in this movie the Dummy will finally say F uck

What if Lego Batman in the third act of his movie says, "Lego Batman, what a joke," throws his mask away, and wears Rick Flag's shirt in his honour

And then he looks at the camera, says “What are we, some kind of LEGO squad?”, does a backflip, breaks Mayor Corncob’s neck, saves the day, farts, and dies. It’ll make two morbillion dollars at the worldwide box office!!

LEGO is willing to make Star Trek but not DC sets. Star Trek have peaceful combatants, but DC heroes are far from it. Only another part of Brickheadz Joker’s conspiracy?

Actually, it was the menace Corncob who used Paramount to bribe John L. Ego into putting all the Batman budget into the Enterprise set, it’s the only explanation!

Just kidding, no bribery necessary. As if John L. Ego needed any enticements to hate DC

It’s elementary my dear Swordy. John L. Ego’s trolling us.

Ideas Godzilla: Justice League vs Godzilla is a current DC ongoing.

USS Enterprise: there were two GL x Star Trek crossovers.

Icons transformers: a crossover was going to release as a DC miniseries with Optimus becoming a GL, but was then cancelled by Dan Didio.

Modular Museum: Flash Museum

Speed Champions Back to the Future set: obviously green lit to upset Booster Gold fans and all 10 Legion Lost fans.

It all makes sense.

"LEGO Black Friday isn't all about sales" is correct, albeit for a completely different reason than what John L. Ego wants us to think.

Obviously, it’s going to be a full-scale invasion, and alas, we only have two days to prepare—this must be the culmination of what all our jonkling has revealed.

A couple of Soup mech photos (enclosed in the spoilers so not to spontaneously fry anyone’s eyeballs) before the year is closed out.

Spoiler

My previous profile picture, depicting the Soup mech and compatriots riding the U-Wing—all while clutching onto their coffee mugs. Unfortunate that a lot of the references got lost in at miniature.

Spoiler

Soup mech at Christmas. Babu Frik is included because he is Babu Frik. (I also find the droidsmith/mech connection a nice thought—although, on second thought, Babu would probably reprogram the Soup mech to be evil, wouldn’t he?)

Spoiler

I’ve been dreaming this one up for months—what with Absolute DC, the ballad of Soup and the Aslume, and the remixes of this meme I’ve seen around, I knew this had to be made.

 

I got to thank the Aslume for inspiring me to find creativity and joy yearlong from a dumb, silly mech that I would’ve otherwise never built. I sorta wish the Soup mech hadn’t become my calling card… but it’s not a bad one at that. 

Long live LEGO DC (excluding Man)! Long live insanity! Long live BLACKT— the Aslume!

These are super, man.

No seriously. The Christmas one oddly encapsulates Superman’s hopeful character really well.

Can I use this meme? Would be great as a reaction image.

No, thank you for sticking around with us this long. 
 

Long live Lego DC! Let us pray that 2026/7 will deliver at least one of these 3 things: Green Lantern Mech, Man of Tomorrow sets and DC CMF series 2!!

Didn't realise they were all holding mugs, these are great photos, love the lot of them (though am biased to the first ofc)

Haha, yeah you might have gotten more out of this set than anyone else has from one of these mechs before. Aslume is going to have been going two years strong soon so I imagine it'll last much longer

Absolutely, feel free to use it! That’s why I shared it here.

In all fairness—as MandoKnight would say, lol—if it weren’t for the great group of folks that invited and warmly welcomed me, this causal DC enjoyer wouldn’t have stuck around for this long.

*scarfs down a bottle of hopium* Yes, I can see all three, in my mind’s eye… *insert me screaming in the desert like a certain Zabrak*
(I mean, everyone’s hoping for a Supergirl Mech vs Lobo too, right? Just me?)

Yeah, the coffee mug is one of my favourite LEGO pieces; it gives me a non-Aslume-induced smile to think the LEGO characters always got something to drink. Thank you! (Oh, naturally. I had thought of adding D.D. to the Christmas photo, as part of a scene with the U-Wing and a Blacktron operative with outrageously huge hair,  but I decided to keep it simple.)

Aw, thank you so much! I really do consider both of you a lot funnier than myself, so I do appreciate hearing that.

Kinda sad, but nonetheless true. Photographing the mech, coming up with unique, silly poses, made me realize that, for what they are, the $15 mechs make great representations of the given characters.
So long as there is insanity—and the smart brick doesn’t disappoint seem to disappoint—there will be Aslume.

Yeah it's great, just a charming photo full of personality. Miss when LEGO would do this sorta thing in catalogs and such which maybe is why I love seeing it so much in fan work.

And don't worry, Dummy forgives you (also yeah, it works better with one figure)

Yeah, exactly on both front. NGL I personally do get annoyed at the mechs because we already used to get mechs in this price range with distinct builds but now any mech at this scale is the same build more or less but I do see their value, by having a slightly tweaked build it's easy to put out these annual waves with a bunch of different characters and if they do one that's of a character you like it's great. They're not designed to get all of them.

Anyways, magazine is out so I don't think this counts as a leak, but we are gonna get one new character in 2026 DC, frozen man

True, true. I just happened to notice it since we have a similar speech pattern at times, and “In all fairness,” is very interchangeable with “To be fair”—honestly, I’ve stopped myself from using “fairness” to avoid repetition (which is kinda dumb of me to both do/admit, but here we are).

Thank you—it’s very much appreciated!

I wasn’t around then (oh great, I accidentally narrowed down my age), but I do find the old catalogue photography… magical. A lot of the fun of the LEGO Movie stems from the zany mashups and whimsical humor too. However, TLM does lead into the issue of modern LEGO, which is that it’s more reliant on competing IPs than ever before, which means very few, if any crossovers. Fans are the only way of preserving that old magic of unadulterated imagination.

Whew. Dare I tempt the Dummy’s wrath? Never.
(Yes, I must definitely did when I was working at Blacktron, but by-gones are by-gones, right?)

 

Good point, it is a lot cheaper to produce simply because of their identical skeleton of builds. I don’t notice it as much since I collect maybe one superhero or SW mech every couple years—so much agreed on the intention being anti-completionist. At least they get popular characters into cheap sets, and I do feel the design philosophy has improved immensely since 2020–even if I still have half a dozen armor panels for which I have no use whatsoever.
I do remember the Thor mech being a weird cross between being a piloted mech while acting as if it was a brickbuilt version of said pilot. (For instance, the mech had a cape and its own Mjinor, but not consideration that the mech Mjinor wouldn’t work as a method of flight; whereas, the Soup mech makes the “cape” into a jetpack, much to Turtle’s delight.)

LEGO DC 2026 gets a Man of Snow but not a Man of Steel. TLG truly is listening to @legoturtle.
(Like, seriously? A new, exclusive—and very, very cool—print for the snowman, but not for Killer Croc or Bane? Much less that it’s exclusionary to the United States.)

It’s not a new print, instead it’s a clever reuse of the Fat Friar’s faceprint ^^ Magazines will most likely never have exclusive prints.

Since we have nothing better to do imma restart the Ninjago-fied DC series concept. So let’s start where we left off.

Things did not get better since then. And therefore, following the same mentality, it’s time for another season of Lego DC: Next Gen. And as promised, it’s:

He's way more realistic than Man of steel, I've seen many snowmen, never a man who'd fly like a Bee-ird or a plane

I'm probably a similar age but I spent so much time looking up those old things online growing up. Books and catalogues still would have them for a while into the 21st century
