Let's hope they include all the villains tho (unless it's just Luthor, but it seems unlikely) after the horrible recent LEGO MCU villains streak.

The likeliest characters I'd expect to see would at least be Superman, Lois, Jimmy, Lex, Engineer and maybe Mercy. I also expect if any of the heroes have substantial enough roles to appear in the sets, it won't be ALL of them. Like probably either Hawkgirl, Terrific or both. Metamorpho I can see not making it, and maybe Guy too

BUT not just "Batcave" and just it. Explain shortly what kind of. (For example there is a GIANT lucky coin as a Secret door which leads to Gotham City underground tunnel network ... and so on...).

•Just the BatS Batmobile, ideally at a reduced cost

•Darkseid Invasion (for the incredible figure lineup)

Scarecrow Harvest of Fear (builds are really nice, plus Blue Beetle and Killer Moth figures are amazing). Didn't buy it until only a couple years ago, never got it when it was on shelves, but I'm glad I did in the end

2013 Arkham Asylum, great figures, great build and it was the biggest LEGO set I owned at the time, building it was a lot of fun

•Wonder Woman Vs Doomsday Mighty Micros (why is this our only LEGO Doomsday??)

For an actual answer, probably the Mobile Bat Base. Best thing about it is Nightwing, build is just copied from Agents/Ultra Agents

•Hall of Justice D2C

Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Hawkgirl, Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, Vandal Savage, Amazo, Doomsday

[legoturtle]

1.) Which set / sets you will buy? + (amount)

- BTAS Batmobile (x2) + bat-mech + batcave  

2.) Your favourite sets TOP-3 (2024)?

- this is so stupid question :)) sorry guys... first I ask which sets you will buy and then top list from that and this ... GG WP

3.) Set you "hate" the most?

- Bat-pod + figure (not minifigure scale) :/

 

BONUS QUESTION - tell us in your own words - If TLG would make 1 DC Super Heroes set in 2025, what kind of it would be? Kind of dream come true. BUT not just "Batcave" and just it. Explain shortly what kind of. (For example there is a GIANT lucky coin as a Secret door which leads to Gotham City underground tunnel network ... and so on...).

- Well, guys YOU WONT BELIVE ME! but I would like to have another Shadow Box BUT this time x3 BIGGER and it is not a batcave -> it is a Arkham Asylum. We would have 20 prisoners. BUT in their own clothes and cells. For example Mr. Freeze cell would differ from Poison Ivy and so on.

There would also be a manager of A.A. and 3 officers which each are in charge of parts of the prison. West wing, East wing and the middle prison "kong". There would also be regular guards. 1 for 5 prisoners so total 4. That set would include small vehicle which transport 1 prisoner at a time.

In that box, which is now 3 times BIGGER there is a handle. Like in a suitcase. It is inside but you can pull it out. The frame of the box is made of LEGO Technic parts. You can take the box easily to lego affairs or your friends place and play with it.

Which LEGO DC sets am I buying this year?  None.

What are my top 3 LEGO DC sets?  

• Batman: Arkham Asylum Breakout
• Darkseid Invasion
• Batcave Clayface Invasion

Which set do I hate the most?

• Flying Fox: Batmobile Airlift Attack

If we're including non-system sets such as Mighty Micros, then any Mighty Micro set that gave us a Superman rogue without ever having a normal system version.  I wonder if we will ever get a normal Bizarro or Doomsday.

What would be my dream set of next year?

• Build: Titans Tower
• Minifgures: Nightwing, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy, Terra, Kid Flash, Speedy, Deathstroke, Trigon, Brother Blood, Blackfire, Jinx.

• Next year, we‘ll ideally get at least 3 Superman sets, covering not only the main characters we‘ve seen many times before (Supes, Lois, Lex), but also side characters like Guy Gardner. And hopefully more BTAS sets! They just barely scratched the surface this year.

I don't know how likely it is that we'll get Guy, as much as I'd like him.

I'm not 100% sure Superman gets three sets, for one thing. Putting aside whether or not lego has enough faith in the film to finally branch out of batman sets, it'd be another leap for there to be that much for them to make sets out of. The Batman sets were Bat-vehicles and the Batcave- I'm not sure how much kids would want a system daily planet. If we assume the Engineer has some large vehicle and the Javelin shows up, we'll say three. But then we run into the issue of figure slots- The Batman had 7 unique figures, but a good chunk of them re-use a number of parts. (And again, it's Batman, so I think lego had more faith than they will in Superman) I'd guess we get Superman, Lex, and The Engineer for sure, and probably Lois and Clark as well since they can re-use a lot of pieces from random civilian figs. This leaves us with two slots, which if filled with the Leagures instead of any other characters or villains we don't know about, lego would probably want Mr. Terrific and Hawkgirl like @NXS7 says.

TLDR: While I'd love to finally get another Lantern, especially Guy, I don't think it's very likely even if Superman gets the same amount of new figs as The Batman, which I also don't think is super likely.

My honest guess is we get a Superman buildable figure and 1-2 system Superman sets. I do have faith that we'll get at least those 1-2 system Superman sets, but I can see the timeline where it's just superman and lex figs thrown into a Batman set as well.

 

 

1.) Which set / sets you will buy? + (amount)

None, because I don't have enough money to buy every set that vaguely interests me, and while the Batmobile is cool, it's not worth anywhere near $60. Ironically, if I do get one it'll probably be the mech, because it's cheap and I can always use more mixel joints.

2.) Your favourite sets TOP-3 (2024)?

So far, going off just what I know:

1): G1 Bumblebee

2): Barad-Dur

3): Atreides Royal Ornithopter

3.) Set you "hate" the most?

Seeing as this isn't limited to 2024, I'm gonna go with the UCS republic gunship (2021). Did a number of bad things: Cost us a UCS Nebbie, (speculation) delayed the next system gunship and made it so it was an obscure color scheme as opposed to the iconic one, and due to a bad line in an interview and a packaging mistake, started this stupid "lego hates the prequels and clones" complaint that somehow continues despite the absolute torrent of clone trooper sets hitting shelves.

- I'm not likely to buy any of the sets coming out this year. If I do get one, it'll probably be the BTAS Batmobile.

- 1) Darkseid Invasion, 2) Power Armor Lex Luthor (from 2012), 3) Beware the Batman Batmobile. I don't actually own the first one, bought all the figures otherwise, but the Javelin is iconic.

- The new Batman buildable figure. Just think that whole line of figures (for both DC and Marvel) is a waste of product.

Hall of Justice. 100%. Includes Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Hal Jordan, Guy Gardner, Aquaman, Martian Manhunter, Green Arrow, The Atom, Hawkman, Hawkwoman, Captain Atom, Vixen, Black Canary, plus Lex Luthor, Cheetah, Bizarro, Scarcerow, Giganta, Gorilla Grodd, Black Manta, Black Adam, Captain Cold, Heatwave, and Vandal Savage. Don't care if it's $500, it'll be $500 well spent.

Yes, it's GL centric, the point I was making was that in order to properly cover Blackest Night, you have to establish a lot of the stories that preceed it, including much of the Justice League's history.

You can't start your Green Lantern saga with Sinestro Corps War/Blackest Night, that's all of the pay off with none of the set up.

To translate to the screen it could feasibly work if you paced it alongside the other stories to be told and culminated in Blackest Night. In order to present it to the fullest yes, you would need to establish a lot of backstory. However you can thin down the castle and tell the same story, or similarly you can use exposition to introduce Black Lanterns as the story unfolds. For most of the original deaths you need to have read the preceding Crises and other crossovers way more than Justice League books. You can get around the Atlanteans by the use of language, like referring to 'Dad' or 'sweetheart' to establish a link between characters. No one is going to worry too deeply that they haven't bonded with Dolphin prior to seeing her for the first time as a Black Lantern.

The Lego Batman thread has suddenly morphed into the DC cinematic forum with little to no connection to the Danish constitution toy whatsoever.

There is some connection to Lego in here somewhere, and the mods have given us the go ahead as long as it stays civil and Lego gets a mention every now and then, so it's fine.

@legoturtleI'll give it a try.

I will definitely be getting the blue Batmobile. I really want the skyline but finding somewhere for it is the bigger challenge.

Those are my favourites which is why I'll be after them.

I don't hate the other sets, that's an unnecessary emotion to be expressing about Lego sets. I dislike the others, but not enough to make me care.

Dream sets would be a Hall of Justice, Hall of Doom, House of Mystery, Blackgate yard with some sort of VTOL craft, a large Lantern battle with a variety of colours, Titans Tower, the Super-cycle of the Forever People, and many others too numerous to list.

I agree, we don't need everything for it to work. I just think it's too much too soon. Blackest Night should not be the NuDCU's first climactic event. Maybe it's second.

I have to admit, Blackgate gets very little love from the community. Glad to see it recognized, after all, a lot of Batman's villains will end up in Blackgate quicker than Arkham Asylum (looking at you, Penguin).

All of those would be amazing.

I like it blue but black is nice too... so I have to bought 2 sets!

had to go back to this because I couldnt get it out of my head

Why would you buy the set twice? I understand you want it in blue and in black, but the box only comes with the pieces for building it in blue.

Buying it a second time makes no sense, you'll end up with 2 blue batmobiles?

@legoturtle I’m actually curious. You have stated many times that you like Batman because he’s ‘realistic’ and despise Superman because his powers are unrealistic. So I ask you this, what is your opinion on other non-powered or low-powered heroes who could be considered to be ‘realistic’. For example: Green Arrow, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Captain America (always on steroids), Winter Soldier, Black Widow, Night-wing and Katana. Do you like or not like them? Because they all have the same level of believability as Batman.

[legoturtle]

Well, I don't like Marvel. BUT I have some Marvel movies. ONLY 1 I like is Captain America. That 1st movie were they fight against "Nazi super soldiers"? It is very interesting concept.

The point is that I am not interested SUPER POWERS. I have both Justice League movies and there are amazing scenes. BUT still I think detective like batman is more interesting. He has to use brains. For example The Batman (2022). I enjoy so much from the scene were Riddler and Batman talk together in Arkham Asylum. AND Joker DELETED scene. AND how Joker and Riddler speak each other.

That kind of stuff is just something I can not describe. Those villains and guy who has no super powers. ... So when you ask for example from Iron Man. It is just low.

...

Night-Wing and Katana I want as lego minifigures. FROM -> TLBM

Even then, the guardians weren't prominent enough for their Gunn tone to cause widespread backlash. Superman IS. You can't have his film be full of raunchy jokes or the sort of casual Nihilism TSS had (I still can't get over the scene where Peacemaker and Bloodsport kill a village of soldiers only to find out they were the good guys, and it's played for laughs. Peacemaker might be insane enough to justify it, but Bloodsport shouldn't have walked it off like that, nor do they treat it as more than an oops.)

Same opinion on superman. COULD be good, but yeah, we've really got no major indications either way.

Yeah, I don't think it's controversial or stating an opinion on the efficacy of masks to say that having to wear one for three hours may have turned some people off from going to theatres. Or just being that close to that many other people. I know I didn't find the masks comfortable, and while I wasn't exactly the demo at risk, I 100% wouldn't have been eager to enter a theatre in those years if I was at more risk. Regardless of safety measures, that's a lot of people very close together.

I may not have been clear about that- I agree, booting Cavill WAS the right choice, because they needed to completely wipe and restart the universe, but I don't think it's a good start to make noise about a clean slate and then keep everyone from the project you were personally involved in. Peacemaker and Waller both have the same casts, and Peacemaker has a direct season 2 follow up, so it's not making the clean break he gave as the reason for booting Cavill.

That said, I don't really like how they've handled ANY of this transition. Blue Beetle is hypothetically the first DCU movie, I think, but I don't think many people saw that. You want to start a new universe? Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman needs to be your starting punch. Follow with Flash, GLs, Justice League. Not this weird hodgepodge plan they've got where Wonder Woman isn't headlining anything and a big focus of phase one is the pre-existing TSS era characters as well as the obscure Authority group. Branching out to lesser known teams CAN work, but you've got to hit the ground running with characters the general audience has at least heard of, and you don't want to hamper your appeal by making a big part of your first chunk of content a maturity rating that removes kids from your audience.

I want to make this clear- I was not, but given how full Aslume we've gotten, I think it would have been in-character to pretend to be. 

Do you not know bloodsport? His first appearance is him murdering a bunch of people in metropolis. To me it makes sense for him and peacemaker.

I’m praying that Gunn makes a GL Corps War of Light movie trilogy and the tv-show is only just foundation work: Sinestro Corps war, Rage of the Red Lanterns and Blackest Night would be my picks.

I’m honestly worried whether a TV Show’s budget is going to even do justice to the spectacular visuals that would be mandatory for a live action GL project. I mean even if it had a budget of a billion USD I look at shows like ROP and don’t see where all the money went.

I am also concerned about how it’s supposedly going to predominantly take place on earth. Which kinda removes the mythos that makes GL so great. I mean who they gonna have as the villain? Hector Hammond? Major Force? It really limits their options.

 

Lantern has had some crazy silver age foes on earth, namely THE SHARK. whos just a really smart mutated shark

and I wouldn't doubt them using him, I mean they made starro a threat, so they could probably make him one too.

Limiting GL to Earth (or any one planet) is incredibly stupid, but Hal does have a terrestrial rogues gallery: Doctor Polaris, Sonar, Black Hand (set up for Blackest Night), you could bring in Evil Star and Goldface. No one terribly iconic, but there are some fun ones to play with. Major Disaster (but he needs to be in his black coat), Eclipso (risky without the JLA but a worthy opponent), Doctor Light (Arthur)... The more I think about it, the more I actually like the idea of grounding Lantern first, before making the jump to Sinestro and all that follows.
