I haven't been following the thread lately, but has anyone heard wether there will be a gift with purchase for Arkham Asylum. I'm assuming there won't be one, but just checking.

Nope! Generally speaking, there are two indicators for whether a set will get a GWP:

• Early rumours. Usually, we know early on whether sets get their own GWPs (see the Black Pearl or the Enterprise where the GWP rumours appeared pretty much simultaneously)
• Pre-orders. If a set can be pre-ordered, like Arkham, there won‘t be a GWP

From new Batman gameplay we see the 66 Batmobile. which is a new design but it has stud shooters on it, the others don’t. Kinda expecting that could be in a set next year now. Was hoping for the Battinson one for the inevitable Batmobile set

If it is the ‘66 Batmobile, hopefully Batgirl is included. She’s the only major character from that show that hasn’t been made into a minifigure.

Still waiting on piles of 1x1 studs representing the atomized united nations leaders before Batman uses his "anti-disintigration" ray or whatever to casually recreate actual life. Or the tiger he uses the 20,000 decibel emitter on (20,000 decibels being enough to cause a black hole and destroy the entire milky way if he'd actually used the full capability. '66 batman should be the one used in powerscaling, man's gadgets actually rival superman.)

Batman '66 film is the one of the few - if not only - only Batman films where Batman wins only a hollow victory. (I.E. The re-integrated national ambassadors are not *quite* correctly assembled.) It actually ends on a very dour note, IMO.

Also, how the heck does an extremely obvious ex-German Submarine (which is outright stated as WWII surplus) be able to fire modern (for the mid-'60s) Polaris missiles especially when no missile doors are shown at any time on the sub?!? Sorry for the off topic post, but that has always bothered me... along with "skywriting missiles".

Most Batman films end on a dour note.

Batman Returns ends with him still searching for Catwoman.

Mask of the Phantasm ends in a very similar way, but with Andreas taking the place of Catwoman.

Batman Begins ends with Batman and Gordon looking into a new masked killer

The Dark Knight ends with him being hunted down

BvS ends with Superman dead

The Batman ends with him and Selina splitting up

 

Ironically, Rises might have the happiest ending and he’s presumed dead.

It ain't that kind of movie, kid. 

As for the ending, it's supposed to be a comical, funny, slightly wistful ending with the moral "wouldn't we all get along better if we could just communicate with each other and put ourselves in each other's shoes?"

It's the Joker's dehydration ray, Batman just hooks up an ordinary garden hose to the vials of dust that hold the dehydrated hope of humanity. 

But yes, Batman '66 is the GOAT, thanks for pointing that out :)

As @psqidexslizer says, most batman films end with hollow victories (batman beats the villain but loses his love interest, the villain's plan mainly works, superman dies, batman has to frame himself for Dent's crimes)

As for the second part, again, this batman has a tiger deterrent that off a throwaway line is apparently strong enough to create a black hole and destroy the universe. He is able to turn piles of dust into mostly correct human beings. Asking why a sub launches time-anachronistic missiles without seeing visible doors is asking the wrong question.

Begins is a bit of a reach to be honest. Yeah, there's another criminal out there, but I wouldn't really call it a dour note. 

(Also, for The Batman, I think "Riddler's plan worked and gotham is a disaster zone" might be a bit more dour than "Batman splits off from his potential love interest".)

But yeah, I'd agree Rises has the happiest ending, because he gets to be Bruce again and live a happy life.

If most of the Batman films end like that (which i now realize your guys are right about that), and he never really succeeds, then what is wrong with him - is he stupid? 'World's Greatest Detective' my foot!

[icm]

Actually, come to think of it, it's actually Commodore Schmidlapp's dehydration ray invented for use in his distillery. It's the dastardly United Underworld that twists that useful, peaceful invention to nefarious ends!

Most Batman’s are fools who don’t realize  they exist in a comic book world and thus comic book rules exist. The most successful Batmans like Adam West and George Clooney are fully aware of this and use it to great effect, surfing down from outer space or rehydrating world leaders with their bat-hose. Meanwhile, losers like Bale and Pattinson try to act like they live in a sensible, logical world. Bale, of course, learns from his encounter with Joker that he needs to live without these rules and uses comic book logic to survive an atomic bomb, leading to his first meaningful victory in the series.

Absolutely. There's only one movie where he actually calls the justice league for help (and it's also the best comic-book scaled DC movie).

This is also why almost every movie batman kills- they lack the comic-book skills to do things like "fall from space without a parachute and live", so they have to rely on more grounded, punisher-like takedowns. Adam West is simply too skilled to have to rely on killing to defeat his enemies- why shoot the joker or push him off a ledge when you punch so hard the sound generated by the hit explodes into a visual form?

What I REALLY want to know is what in the name of holy (insert word here) is the good Commodore going to use a dehydration ray for in a distillery? Did he truly invent this for peaceful ends?

I don’t hate The Flash as much as I should, but ain’t no way it’s the best movie in any category.

I might be missing the joke but I was talking about the Snyder cut, where the whole point is he realizes how stupid fighting superman was and spends the whole movie trying to bring him back. I don't count the Flash as a movie at all, more of an extended, moving wanted poster.

[calebcold3]

My guesses for the untitled DC Sets we're getting in Q1 2026:

76330: Batman Logo (similar to the Marvel one we got this year)

76331: Catwoman Motorcycle 

76332: Battinson Batmobile (exact copy from the LEGO Game)

76334: 1966 Minifigure scale Batmobile (the one from the new LEGO Game that @DaredevilFan brought up)

76346: Daily Planet (similar to the Oscorp set, I feel like a mini modular Daily Planet is more likely than a full scale modular TBH)

Maybe we can get another UCS Batmobile but IDK what they could do. I don't think BATS Batmobile sold well enough to justify a UCS version. I do think we might get a UCS Battinson Batmobile in 2027 for The Batman Part II.

Bold of you to assume that we’ll get more than the 4 currently rumoured.

Also polybag. Which we didn’t get this year.

The joke is that there isn’t just one movie where Batman calls on the JL for help. That happens in Justice League (both cuts) and The Flash. (All three are complete megablocks.)

Yeah, I have a feeling the next modular building will be the Baxter Building to tie into Doomsday. If the Daily Planet rumor turns out to be true at all, it’ll probably be something like this.

Supposedly the Superman not-sequel will be coming out in 2027. Maybe we’ll see a Daily Planet modular then.

I don't think the Baxter Building is likely. We've never gotten a playline set for it yet and most of the modular buildings had at least one (if not more) regular versions available first. The FF movie was not huge at the box office and we only got one regular set for it. If Lego couldn't justify making more than one set for the FF movie, I can't see them dedicating a whole modular to the FF just to promote a movie where they're four of 50 or so characters. With the FF coming to the main MCU reality in Doomsday, it's likely the Baxter Building won't even appear in the movie. A modular version would have to be as tall as the Avengers Tower but it wouldn't have anywhere near the amount of minifigures. Who would they even include in an MCU Baxter Building set outside of the main team, Franklin, HERBIE, Doom, and Surfer?

I think with DC only having one modular set, it would make more sense for next year's modular to be another DC set, since Marvel already has four. Might not be the Daily Planet though. If it's a Marvel set, I think Oscorp makes the most sense. We just got a regular version of the set, there'll be a Spidey gap with the modular Daily Bugle retiring this year, and next year is also when the next Spidey movie comes out which seems more anticipated than Doomsday. Spidey sets always sell. The DC equivalent is Batman so if the DC modular isn't the Daily Planet, I think it could be Wayne Manor.

Only reason I’m thinking it could be Baxter Building is because of Doomsday. I thought it was confirmed to be featured there, but if not, then yeah, I’d bet on either Daily Planet or Oscorp. Wayne Manor could also be a possibility, but I’d bet against them doing two Batman modulars back to back.

 

[DaredevilFan]

I’m really hoping it’s DC next year, I love the Marvel ones but it would be nice to build a small DC city first. Best case they let both themes have one a year. I would say Daily planet but it would be weird for LEGO to have no confidence in Superman movie or comic sets and just do a mech to then next year give him a £300 set. I’d bet on Batman or Justice league. I kinda want a Batcave to accompany Arkham. Do the T-Rex and all the references, lots of the Batfamily. Not sure how they’d make it a modular tho

So far nothing for those but we’ve had references to Court of Owls, Solomon Grundy, Deadshot and even Eraser. So I’m sure they’ll pop up at some point or at least have an Easter egg

One of the Lanterns actors had teased a couple of well-known characters will be in the show. (Not gonna post who here, because spoilers). Obviously we wouldn’t be getting sets for Lanterns even if it wasn't TV-MA. But, it’d be great if one of the sets next year is a loose tie-in or the show is popular enough for us to see more GL content down the road.
