THELEGOBATMAN

Basically. They are based on an upcoming Disney+ special, Rebuild the Galaxy. It kind of just includes the most random stuff you can think of—Darth Jar Jar Binks, Jedi Bob, White Vader, Summer Luke Skywalker, a combination of an X-Wing and a TIE Fighter, Dark Millennium Falcon etc.

According to exabricks, Captain America minifig in the buildable logo has his WW2 suit.

Finished all the episodes, and I just have to say: wow, what a season. Truly fantastic. I love the character development, recurring villains, fight choreography, everything. So excited for more.

We'll be lucky if we even get a single set based on Superman, so I'd hold your horses on a modular Daily Planet D2C.

LEGO doesn't even want to give us a single Deadpool minifigure, yet alone a whole CMF series.

Quite possibly the worst quality leak we've ever got. Nevertheless, the set already looks incredible here. Funny how all the survey leak sets ended up being nearly perfect copies of the preliminary images, while this one doesn't even look similar in any way, shape or form.

We won't. We don't even know if the film will actually happen.

We just got our first look at Skeleton Crew with a release date (December 3rd). They've already revealed the set, but at least now they can say it's based on something we've actually seen.

Uhh... I've never said any of that. My point is, kids don't want those sets because they've seen the series—they want them because they are cool, and include fun characters and builds to play with.

I am incredibly excited for Caped Crusader too. The trailer has swept me off my feet. Well, mostly because it's just an incredibly well made trailer (and I'm a huge sucker for trailers, I love watching them over and over)—but also because the creators of this series have a very clear vision of what they're trying to make, and I love how they have their own take on every single character here. It also just looks fantasic, and with My Adventures with Superman being so fantastic, it's cool to also get a Batman animated series that has a lot of style and sauce.

Uhh... I'm not sure if you know what "reinterpret" means. Basically, you take Penguin, leave the core elements, but change some other ones. That's like... literally every adaptation, of anything really. A reinterpretation. If it wasn't one, then it'd just be the exact same character, and every artist brings at least a tiny part of themselves into a character. I don't really know why you draw the line at "woman." It doesn't. You basically kind of have to pick and choose what fits and what doesn't. The same case as with Daredevil: Born Again. I don't mind it that much tho. It would be awful to waste Cena as Peacemaker, because he's absolutely incredible. I just wish Gunn clarified once and for all how it actually works, what elements are canon etc.

No. Gunn has said that anything before Creature Commandos and Superman isn't canon. It is very confusing tho. Like, how does Peacemaker Season 2 work? He already confirmed that Season 1 isn't canon to the DCU, but apparently its events are? Like, is it a new series? What's even real anymore?

And Penguin is still the same power-hungry gangster with a crooked nose. Not sure what your point even is. Comparing the most-known historical war to a fictional villain is certainly one way to look at it...

That's a rather bleak perspective of viewing popculture. This is how this character has been created, so I won't allow any kind of reinterpretations. I don't have a problem with seeing this character across tens of different works, but they always have to stay the exact same way. Rather boring perspective. We already have tens—if not more—male, limping Penguins with crooked noses. What's the problem with shaking things up, even if just for the sake of it?

In my opinion, The Acolyte was somewhere between mediocre and fine. It had some great ideas, and Qimir especially was fantastic. It also had a lot of lacklustre elements, and it didn't deliver on a lot of them. Would I buy The Acolyte sets? No, unless they made a tiny set with Qimir—and since they'll never make one, the answer is still no. Saying that, some people here are crazy to think they wouldn't sell. Cool spaceships, varied locations, Jedi, dark side users, lightsabers. Kids would eat that right up. I hear some people saying "oh, but the series is not for kids, they haven't seen it anyway." But they've seen The Mandalorian? Because those sets have to sell extremely well for LEGO to still be including them in nearly every single wave.

Frankly, I'd be more excited for comicbook sets if they weren't just mechs and trucks. A few years ago, I wouldn't care for comicbook sets a bit, and would gladly just make the whole theme MCU-based. Funny how that turns out, because I'd gladly contain MCU sets to small waves or single sets for movies, and a single wave for The Infinity Saga sets. I really want more comicbook sets, but I've no interest in them if they're just generic vehicles. No sauce at all.

Not sure how that contradicts what I've just said tho.

Well, yeah. Just as Penguin will still be Penguin, which was exactly my point.

No idea what the discussion is even about, but it's about Andor, and I'm obsessed with this series. That choice has been haunting him throughout the whole season—literally, as Syril Karn. The plot of the first three episodes fully focuses on showing us that this single choice has completely destroyed his life on Ferrix. Also, that's just life under oppression. I don't suppose that many people would flinch when killing a Nazi during WW2 in a closed encounter like this. Furthermore, no one even tries to portray Andor as a morally good character. Especially at first he's extremely selfish, cares only about himself and people close to him, and doesn't want anything to do with "the cause".

I don't want to be pessimistic about this set. They managed to convert the Up house into a 55€ set, and it was perfect. Sure, they could make it a minimum effort 500-piece 90€ set with three minifigures, but I want to believe they won't. Disney sets usually are of higher quality. Stitch, Lilo and Nani are a must. David and Bubbles would be a great addition. Jumba and Pleakley and/or Gantu would make it truly incredible, but two of them would probably work much better as bigfigs—but I wouldn't mind them as minifigures, if it was between them or nothing.

Two-Face is, indeed, being reinterpreted—there's a reason his scars are on another side of his face. His two personalities will have a reversed dynamic. As for Penguin, we can leave it at that.

Hulk Monster Truck coming in Winter 2025 for 35€ with a Hulk minifigure (from exabricks).

And yet I don't see you complaining about completely re-interpreting villains like Harley Quinn and Two-Face. I absolutely hate arguments when it comes to women and people of colour like "just make a new character, stop changing already existing things". Really? Because getting a 14th same-old Penguin is somehow much better? Comic accuracy by itself has no value.

Anyways, I have no idea why people are making such a big deal out of this. I'll admit it sounds lazy—the character design is just Penguin with a lipstick (I think making her more chic would be cool), and the name... really, Oswalda? Doesn't even sound like a real name, should've used something like Ophelia. But then again, so what? Is it really worse than yet another comic-accurate Penguin? He's already one of the most popular and most used Batman villains, especially recently—he's even getting his own HBO series! So I genuinely have no idea why people would have a problem with one out of tens Penguin adaptations being a female.
