Apologies. I'm fine at dishing out sarcasm but can't always spot it. It was published under Black Label so was straddling the canonicity line, writer Geoff Johns said it was canon, artist Jason Fabok said it wasn't. Hopefully that clears things up.

If you are referring to the stickers: Joker, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Two Face, Calendar Girl, Condiment King Renee Montoya, Harvey Bullock, Jim Gordon, Scarecrow, Ra's al Ghul, Catwoman Ventriloquist and Scarface, Baby Doll, Mad Hatter, Man-Bat, Lock-up, Mr Freeze Killer Croc, Bane, Robin, Batgirl, Alfred, Penguin Clock King, Riddler, Clayface I've purposefully not used the stupid names people insist upon. Sorry, not sorry.

Batwing and Bat Space Shuttle

I think I spotted a theme with these. I will say that you are being quite optimistic with your prices though.

Yes, and Lego ploughed a lot of money into the sets based on the films, far more than they would normally for existing themes - and particularly DC. We got a huge array of everything with TLBM and we're incredibly unlikely to see the likes of it again. The likes of me lapped those sets up. There's only two sets I didn't get from the whole line and it bugs me still. The partnership with the film company is over, the DVDs are done, and the latest partnership with Universal is highly unlikely to do anything with DC characters when they are owned by Warner. While DC is not as popular as Marvel right now then it is unreasonable to expect pretty much anything that doesn't feature Batman, and certainly not rated R. We certainly aren't going to see cute little side builds with random characters for a good while. The best thing to do is hope that enough time has passed by the time Superman comes out, and that the licensing agreement is strong enough to yield sets for it. And then you've got to hope that they sell well.

I'm all for Rayner or pretty much any more Lanterns, of any colour. They would be such an easy in for Lego designers. Lots of vibrant colours, solid and transparent. Lots of scope for builds. For most characters the costume remains the same. I guess that they didn't have a lot of faith in it. Oh lordy.

@CloneCommando99nothing wrong with that. As much as I like The Authority I agree, a character like Midnighter is unlikely to be realised in Lego form, ditto for Peacemaker. BatB depends on what they bring to the table, but if we do get Bat family members I would appreciate ones we don't already have. Seeing as Guy is leading the charge of DCU GLs, I would put him in the mix somewhere. I would rather focus on Supergirl than more Wonder Woman for now, personally. The Titans have been terribly under represented so far, and I don't know that I can foresee a Tower. It would be awesome, don't get me wrong. We're going quite far into the unknown here, so I don't know what is in store for Booster but seeing sets that feature the Blue and Gold would be great. I would love to see Swamp Thing, HoS 92 was my first case of seller's remorse with comics, even if it did line my pocket. I can imagine Waller sets just out hard headedness from Lego. Creature Commandos would be a dream team in Lego. Are you stupid? Always best not to ask me that, I only give one answer.

The Marvel thread is nowhere near the banality of this one. I honestly avoid the Star Wars forum as much as I can as not only am I not that much of a fan of it but the fandom is too much for me. With regards to wishlisting you're right, it does go on a bit, but I think my jaded backside has probably seen the same ideas coming around again. Maybe the joke saga and the are double teaming me.

I miss the days when in between waves we would just talk about wishlists and MOCs, or actual sets, like there was something that united the users of the thread. There seems to be more enthusiasm for overly used stupid jokes from another platform than actual Lego. Not to mention it's driving me nuts, but it's only this topic that gets the megablock treatment.

This statement has a lot of value... ... until you see this question. Unless of course it's rhetorical.

I think we are now far removed from large minifigure scale sets for DC/Batman. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I'll reserve judgement until it's released.

If they bring up that reference with me then yes, yes they are.

Apologies for the misunderstanding. However I think a certain amount of responsibility has to be taken by the consumers believing what some no name on the internet tells them, simply because it's on YouTube. There's nothing wrong with wishlisting, but no one is making people cling desperately onto a baseless rumour. Yes, Idiot 1 is perpetuating these rumours, but Idiot 2 is picking them up and running with them without asking Idiot 1 where the rumours came from.

That's what an Easter Egg is. They don't have to lead to anything. I think you are getting bogged down in your dislike of certain YouTubers and missing the point of an Easter Egg. They are a fun little reference to other aspects of the source material, letting fans know that the people creating the adaptation are fans too, and that ostensibly that the thing being made is in good hands. There's no hard and fast rule that says an Easter Egg has to lead somewhere. The fact that the characters are hidden in the set further cements the idea by having us hunt for them.

Lego sets for adults tend to be more difficult or bigger than regular sets, rather than being adult themed. Lego does not produce sets for every DC film or TV show, and it really won't produce sets for the ones that have an adult rating. I don't have a frame to check but looking at the various dimensions I would say that he won't fit, not even side on. He's a big boy.

It was still fairly early in terms of licenced properties. They didn't have many others so there wasn't really any precedent for holding onto an IP, or how often they would produce sets for it. I know there were no sets, I was so pleased to see that little polybag when Batman Returned, but I think saying that they quit the license isn't right. They were as you say negotiating the introduction of further characters, I've read that elsewhere, so I don't see how quitting the license does the scenario Justice (League).

Is there anything other than anecdotal evidence to support that? It fared well enough to warrant a second wave and had a break. The theme was relaunched as Super Heroes with Batman at the helm, the first game wasn't out that long and the second one wasn't far behind it. There doesn't seem to be anything to say that TLG let the license agreement lapse.

It's a guess not a fact.

I feel you all know the answer to this. My position still stands, but I will concede that it's getting a little bit ridiculous in this thread. I feel like@PGBQWmay have been joking. Just a little.

But an awful lot of people who are into Lego/DC do know it and shared the excitement and information inside at the time seven years ago. It's not how they make Lego sets, it's how the film's designers conceived vehicles that would look good on screen that could also work as sets. Much like the figures, they went through a lot of characters that had to work in the story and translate into minifigure form. I have that book, I bought it when it came out and I appreciate the excitement on first seeing it. It's a great book but it's not new information and isn't likely to be tapped for set ideas anytime soon.

I get the love for TLBM but seriously? That book has been out for a few years now. At this point you're just spamming the thread. Even though it's Elseworlds type stuff it still hits in the feels.

Not only was King Kong one of the Phantom Zone villains in The Lego Batman Movie, but there is a recent comic titled Justice League Vs Godzilla Vs Kong. That alone makes Godzilla and Kong part of DC lore. In the story Batman builds a massive mecha in order to take down Kong, Lex Luthor has a Mechagodzilla, and Kong becomes a Green Lantern. My imagination is happy with this series of events.

Kong and Godzilla are now part of the Omniverse, and Kong has been granted a Green Lantern ring.

We'd be lucky to see more than one polybag in a single wave. Magazine gifts are either recycled figures or polybags. The year is indeed 2024.

I'd rather see them in a more three dimensional form than stickers. Seeing them makes me want it more. Really need to start planning on where to put it. Jog on.
