Superman IS a boring character. Bruce Timm pointed this out when creating STAS. Batman's rogues are either psychotic or miserable and very interesting to observe; Superman's enemies are alien invaders, superpowered mutants or random criminal masterminds in business suits. They are boring. I am currently watching STAS, and the insane amount of creators' effort put into this show is obvious. And it's still not as good as TNBA or BTAS. Somehow, @legoturtle returned...

I guess it's okay - we have to compromise while building out of Lego more often than we think we do. My AT-ST feet are too thin, for example...

Looks very nice, but... Will it work IRL? Anything beautiful can be constructed digitally, regardless of real-world physics. Can it be motorized? Aren't the legs too wide? Well, of course they look a million times better than on the official set, but still... As I said, it looks very nice, yet I still have questions... Also, IIRC, this looks very faithful to the original, unlike many 'beautiful' MOCs. Congratulations!

Moody's hairpiece it way too thick and bushy; Ledger's hair is short-to-medium length, messy and swept back. Andor's and Sirius' hairpiece looks too long and doesn't match Ledger's look (but it still is an acceptable choice for ROTS Anakin). Fine, I agree that the perfect hairpiece still doesn't exist. Yet the particular one I proposed works better for Joker than Beetlejuice... We had (I personally have) Kite-man in the Riddler TLBM set. Oh yeah!.. Not comic-accurate, of course, but still can be improved.

I believe that using this hairpiece (previously used for Doc Emmet Brown and Beetlejuice) in Dark Green colour would work better for the upcoming Ledger Joker minifigure than what we have now. I genuinely don't care about @legoturtle, I didn't like him from the very beginning. But the actual Aslume, while having even stricter rules on this subject, tolerates far harsher comments. Why don't the mods here allow users to delete themselves willingly, without breaking any forum rules? This should be a nice feature

Timm always wanted a Batman show set in the 40s. Of course, it would've been a much better decision to completely avoid certain delicate topics... Just as the Golden Age Batman comics, which don't suffer from values dissonance as much as certain other period pieces (Tom and Jerry?) But I guess no one would've funded the creation of this show then. So we actually got an imaginary 40s-esque setting, where, as they always said, black Hitler is theoretically possible At least, it's interesting to watch and entertaining, which again proves that people are less concerned about woke and more about storytelling. Yes, the animation is lazy and bad, but it's much better than in any DCAMU piece (the animation in Injustice was plain horrible). I don't understand people, who complain about Batman calling Alfred 'Pennyworth' and are somehow okay with Bruce's treatment of his butler in the 2022 movie. This Bruce is shown to be an 'enfant terrible' from the very beginning, viewing poor Alfred as nothing more than a tool that will enhance his crime-fighting. While being a jerk to him, he at least doesn't openly insult him and warms up a little in the end. This show is far from being perfect. But in those days even that will do. Maybe Timm will realise his Fleischer-esque Superman after all...

I've seen all episodes of B:CC and liked it. It's absolutely nothing like the R-rated violent thriller everyone was expecting. Episode 3 is just plain hilarious. It's just my personal perception, but I don't think Batman is even the main character - while he is essential to the plot, he is never in the main focus of the story. Thankfully, despite Matt Reeves' involvement, this young and beginning Batman is even more competent than his BTAS counterpart (unlike Pattinson's year 3). He is also not an ungrateful bastard towards Alfred, just a little cynical, which is justified by the plot and changes a little in the finale. The Nocturna episode shows he is capable of compassion almost as much as in BTAS, and more than in TNBA. Though he suffers from plot inconsistencies (episodes 1-3 portray him with zero redeeming traits and care for justice, which contradicts following episodes), this version of Harvey Dent is now easily my favourite. The fact that he has absolutely nothing in common with his actual Golden Age self is for the best. Unlike BTAS, his sanity problems aren't a plot device that came out of nowhere, and he seems to be genuinely struggling with them. His violence is at least partially justified, and he understands it's not the right thing to do. As much as I like BTAS, their Harvey had terrible character development. Introduced as a nice guy, the 'Two-Face' two-parter showed him as a disturbed man turned into a tragic villain, with the following episodes portraying him as plain evil. Nolan's Harvey was a jerk turned into murderous psychopath. IMHO, Bader's Harvey is much easier to sympathise with, despite his many wrong decisions. The scene in the end with Batman grabbing a gun is awesome. As the Golden Age dark and serious Joker teaser. Many side characters (the photographer in particular) are interesting enough for me to be unsatisfied with the amount of characterisation they received. There are some things I didn't like, though. The fast storytelling and some plot inconsistencies that can't be unnoticed. I am utterly disappointed with Onomatopoeia, who, while having some cool moments, doesn't do much and isn't even unmasked in the end. Overall, while never a replacement for BTAD and TNBA, B:CC was a very fun experience. Looking forward to potential season 2. And, as Alfox would've said: "Turtle gone, carry on."

Very beautiful! The combination of colours is perfect, and the sails look very convincing. Appreciated

Timm repeatedly stated that he won't be going into this territory again. So nope. They also race-swapped the Gordons and Two-Face. And no one complained about that (especially because of Billy Dee Williams, who played Harvey in 1989 but was rejected afterwards, that's why Two-Face looking like him is a good idea) Now that's reasonable. Bringing up racism and sexism is a cowardly thing to do - that's how Disney justifies their lack of both creativity and respect towards the fanbase. Gender/race-swapping never been a problem for anyone until it was clear that the changes make absolutely no sense and have the one and only obvious reasoning behind them. ...And there is also the fact that NO ONE will dare the race-swap established characters like Cyborg, and if they do - they will be accused of racism. Which is kinda hypocritical

That's a very cute set! Indeed, they are in the same scale as the discontinued buildable figures. The Creeper (who sadly doesn't have a baby form) and baby Zombie are almost the same as before (but now there is TNT in Creeper's head). The baby mobs are very nice and, IMHO, will make fine additions to any Minecraft AFOL collection. But I still don't get why you can separate the candle cake into three separate pieces, though

This is a great example of HOW Lego Minecraft MOCs should be made - as smooth and faithful to the source material as possible. Minecraft's blocky aesthetic doesn't make the challenge easier. And you did a great job

Black-hearted eviiil!.. Even if it's not, this is not for the best.

I haven't been looking forward to this... Guess the best thing for me personally to do would be acquiring Rebel troopers separately. I forgot if I ever mentioned that, but I don't like the new Stormtrooper design. TLG seems to not understand that Stormtroopers aren't supposed to look like Clone Troopers, because the latter were drawn with CGI in live-action Prequels, while the former wore vacuform armor. The builds in the set are just as ugly as in 2008 (the Rebel speeder looks even worse to me), despite the use of new curved parts

LEGO LOVES DC!!! DREAMS COME TRUE!!! THANK YOU, TLG!!! ... That is, unless the Lego Star Wars Enoch and R2-KT story repeats with Ledger Joker. Won't be comple without one! Let's just hope the Nicholson Joker face story won't repeat with Ledger Joker (again). Affordable Nicholson Joker's face looks nothing like the original, which was faithfully recreated in 'UCS' sets. Why should they? They didn't shy away from printing Anakin's burns Guess that's absolutely correct... Ask Knuckles... Or maybe it's the weak STAS Superman, who cannot defeat anyone without a mech armorsuit!

Black Doom and the Black Arms, anyone? Sure, they only appeared once in a game that isn't popular among fans, but I personally would've been very glad to see them in official sets. Also, while I am not looking forward to seeing IDW characters in Lego, but this still may be a nice idea.

Remember leakers promising an Enoch minifigure? Turned out to be a silly Nighttrooper. And now we get QT-KT instead of the beloved R2-KT. Reddit users speculated that this is due to R2-KT being a charity character (which, I presume, didn't stop other manufacturers from producing merch with R2). IMAO QT's minifigure is bad. Not only it lacks much of the white markings (which is justified, since TLG isn't currently capable of decorating those areas with printing), but the colour looks considerably darker and more 'toxic' than the original

There was a Flash animated series in the 90s? That's not the plan B we'll need if Superman fails.

Personally, I would be very glad to see Cream and Cheese! ... But I still believe Sonic deserves a CMF series. So many characters... For example, Maria, whom Lego showed as a picture in the Egg-drillster set. I would also be happy if TLG realised tie-in sets for the upcoming Sonic 3 movie (with some of them based on the first two parts)

That's what I've been saying already! Hera definitely should have had black eyes from the very beginning. Yet characters like Thrawn and BTAS Joker should have red and yellow eyes respectively, since they are colors of their eyeballs (which, sadly, hasn't been done in Joker's case). OT Palpatine may have (or not) benefitted from black eyes too. Either way, black pupils used to work better for Palpatine and Darth Maul, rather than plain yellow eyes.

That's awesome! The aircraft's shape is captured well, especially the nose - those new 'sharp' parts are very useful

I accept your challenge, Turtle! 1) -1572 (TLG will recall all DC sets, even those that were already sold, back) (jonkling; seriously, I don't know and only hope for the best) 2)No (not really jonkling this time, since I don't know for sure) 3)We can only hope. I was very sceptical at first, and, movie concept aside, I believed that the Joker sequel would probably ruin everything the first part achieved. The trailer made me less sceptical. I hope it turns out good. 4)0 (dead serious!) 5)Totally yes (totally jonkling; on a serious note, we all have to admit Lego DC had much worse years; we just can't get TLBM every year) 6)I can only hope it does. Because, just like Brian Boitano from the song, I don't take .... from anybody. I don't want a bad movie to be successful, since that would send the creators a wrong message. 7) Ventriloquist and Scarface, Mr. Mxyzptlk (purple suit, like STAS), Black Adam 8)No (I really don't think so, though I would like that to happen) 9)Absolutely false. They don't, they just have to deal with the unsettling reality DC's bosses have created. 10)40% The ISB doesn't have a rank of Admiral - they have a Director. Also, if you know the whereabouts of the wanted political war criminal Voren Na'Al, please contact us immediately - we closely collaborate with the ISB in order to bring him to justice. Me too. Though he has considerably changed since then

Three new characters made a fine addition to my collection - Ra's al Ghul, Bruno Mannheim and Martian Manhunter. Ra's al Ghul's hairpiece was painted with correction fluid.

You guys are discussing costumes, not noticing how bad the filming process is overall. They aren't even trying to create something decent. Even if the costumes were OK, the movie wouldn't have been. We live in the franchise-killing epoch, when everything significant, created throughout the XX century, is being destroyed by artistic incompetence and lack of creativity. Even those who created the masterpieces we love understood that the main source of profit is not the piece itself - it's goddamn merch, that people will buy no matter how bad the creation itself is. This is the reason why Disney is ruining Star Wars, and DC are ruining themselves, with both not being afraid of the consequences - merch will never let them feel the repercussions of their utter lack of respect for fans' feelings.

They screwed it! The shark looked different in TLBM!.. So did Barad-Dur, though, but it's justified since it's the same case as TLNM mechs. Couldn't they bring the large shark mould back? Are they stupid?

Not realistic at all, but rather utterly optimistic. Especially The Bat part
