What rational high-profile employee is going to criticise their boss online, for the whole world to see? Gunn also said The Flash film was "one of the greatest superhero movies ever made" - and we all know how that film turned out Don't conflate someone protecting the brand and having your team's back with someone's true opinions. Sure, but my point is that right now they don't have a reason to talk negatively—he's given them full creative control, and he doesn't mess with their process. Quote
Max_Lego Posted February 28 Posted February 28 I still don't think Gunn can be trusted with creating the new DCCU - I am pretty much afraid it may be Peacemaker-centered or something. Remember Creature Commandos, where Peacemaker's death along with the Justice League is treated as if he was on par with them? Gunn is too much a fan of Peacemaker, Suicide Squad and other such things. I seriously doubt it is a good sign - and there is also Superman, which may turn out to be something Silver Age. I personally think both Silver Age idealism and a gritty deconstruction of the superhero genre are extremes that should be avoided. And Gunn clearly isn't the person who is capable of avoiding them Again, feel free to throw rocks at me if you think it's necessary... Quote

Remember Creature Commandos, where Peacemaker's death along with the Justice League is treated as if he was on par with them? Gunn is too much a fan of Peacemaker, Suicide Squad and other such things. Personally I see Peacemaker Season 2 as something that was already going to happen before Gunn took over. Same for creature commandos. He just retooled them to fit with the new vision but they’re the equivalent of Moon Knight and Moongirl with Marvel. From what I’m seeing it appears that Gunn’s direction is a focus on Superman and Green Lantern. Which I think is a good idea after Flash and WW (to a lesser extent) were tainted by their previous actors and the current need to pivot the brand away from being over reliant on Batman. Yes I know I may be biased. The cancellation of Monolith’s WW game is extremely disappointing though. I was thinking that was going to be her DCU debut as Gunn did say that he planned to make an overall story through Movies, TV Shows, Animation and Videogames back in that slate announcement video almost exactly 2 years ago. Wow. Arkham somehow keeps getting worse the more we hear about it. Are WB executives in charge of WW the same guys who oversee Lego DC? Edited February 28 by CloneCommando99 Quote

Actually, unrelated to your greater point because I don't care but I think it's actually very funny that Peacemaker isn't treated as on par with them in universe, literally every other hero is strung up Peacemaker is the only one left bleeding out on the floor. He's such a loser he wasn't worth displaying as a victory like everyone else. 22 minutes ago, BatDeanj said: dunno how reliable it is, but in this video he said Arkham is based off the comics Skip to 9:00 ish If I were more optimistic about the theme I'd say a comic based one could be supported by the bad price as they'd make more new prints for the comic based roster but we all know that means nothing Quote

He asked Gunn for the job as soon as he found out about Gunn's new position. It's a tad different to reused. I don't get this whole "it needs to be a full reboot", it's a sentiment that only seems to be emanating from fans of Snyder or his Trinity. The Robbie Quinn crossed from the gloomy Suicide Squad into the vibrant The Suicide Squad seamlessly. In the first one she was a sexy piece with a big hammer. In the second she was a dangerous, unpredictable badass ready to do the right thing. Peacemaker was forgettable? Just say you never watched it and no one will judge you. I don't get this ridiculous notion that a project has to have a high profile cast in order to succeed or even be great. Superman was one of Christopher Reeve's first screen appearances. A-listers were considered but Richard Donner insisted on an unknown. All actors have to have a debut in order to become a star, and judging an unknown based on a trailer can only come from a place of bad faith. With regards to Messrs Tudyk and Fillion; does their supposed C-list status mean that they can't do a good job? It's such obscure tribalism given that Snyder's vision was awful.

So yeah.. probably only three true exclusive figures (Ivy and the Wardens) in a $400+ set. Quote
Lionbear8 Posted March 1 Posted March 1 i hope everyone om this forum and Marvel forum will be at the Movies when Superman arrives. That's it. lthe biggest disappointment is the Arkham count vs price point. Quote

As we talked about earlier I expect the same new prints as the x mansion. batman either full reuse or new torso. new robin/other bat family - not that batgirl hopefully probably right on joker and freeze i think Harleen will be in instead and maybe an empty costume to change into. new torso for the guards mostly purist for gordon New ivy new two face torso mad hatter - I do think we will get 1/2 new characters as a selling point for the set Any more if it’s over 10 Edited March 1 by BatDeanj Quote

Only thing extra should be gate and a transport truck. Quote
Lionbear8 Posted March 1 Posted March 1 hundreds of the same design, give us something new. also it's only 150 pieces smaller then then x mem mansion, someone mentioned before, hopefully we get some big parts. Quote
DaredevilFan Posted March 1 Posted March 1 (edited) Really happy the latest rumour is comic based, couldn’t handle an overpriced Batman forever Arkham 😂 I could see the price changing as we get closer to release unless there’s big pieces used or even more unlikely Bigfig Bane or Croc. As long as the minifig list is solid and we get a couple new figs and maybe 1 new character I’ll be happy Edited March 1 by DaredevilFan Quote
NovaBricks Posted March 1 Posted March 1 Not a great piece count, but I’ll take that and comic-based over a 4500 piece Batman Forever Arkham any day Quote
psqidexslizer Posted March 1 Posted March 1 So what’s the catch here? Sure, the set is expensive and the ppp is kinda high, but surely that can’t be it? There’s gotta be something terribly, horribly wrong with this set. Quote

Every character gets one of those Quote
Lego Nostalgia Posted March 1 Posted March 1 I feel like the only way to justify the price is to have new figures and less reuses, that's the only selling strategy that Lego has at this point, I obviously care about the build more but the figures are just as important, no way they'll reuse the same Joker and Harley, NO WAY (Deep down I know they'll all be reuses with at least 2 new Figures that are just a variant look for Joker and Batman Bigfig Croc or Bane would be nice My ideal lineup would be Joker(Reused),Harley(Reused),Batman (New), Robin,Nightwing,Red Hood,Gordon,Batgirl,Two face (black and white suit), Scarecrow, Victor Zsaz and Prof Pyg In the multiverse somewhere, that happened, 14,000,605 outcomes, but we are the one world where the one outcome we got was just reuse after reuse Quote

Need brand synergy to push that one hard Quote

CloneCommando99 Posted March 1 Posted March 1 So Mattel is regaining the DC license in 2026. Combined with the news that the Mattel Brickshop is coming into existence, I wonder if Lego is going to lose the DC license entirely. Or whether they’re going to step up their game. Quote

It's mostly Action Figures and Adult Collectibles, I'm glad Mattel is getting it but I would rather Hasbro got it, as an Action Figure collector also, Mcfarlane currently has the DC license and their figures are pure shit, cheap quality, poor articulation, barely any accessories ( you had to get another figure to get a different fist) and they were 7inch instead of the usual 6Inch like Marvel and SW, and the guy who owns Mcfarlane is greedy and makes popular figures limited edition, he also charged 260$ for a Joker and Murray 2 pack with a backdrop because he said WB told him it had to be that price, IT'S RIDICULOUS, thankfully Mattel got it back, I know this has nothing to do with Lego but it proves that there are faults in every toy company I wouldn't worry about Mattel making DC building sets and taking the theme from Lego, I don't think that'll happen, Lego Batman is an Iconic brand and I don't think Lego would give that up, If they keep Batman then they have to keep DC since they're apart of the same universe But you never know Might be a good thing in a way, Marvel won't have to share their budget, however I'd be sad to not get The Batman 2 sets if that movie ever happens, I think Bricklink is the best option for the lack of DC sets, most of the old sets haven't gone up much, the Batmobile and Twoface set from 2012 goes for around 80-100$, Justice League sets aren't a bad price either One thing for sure is that Lego DC is in better shape than Lego Indiana Jones, that theme is DEAD DEAD Edited March 1 by Lego Nostalgia Quote
