No Dick is the first Robin. Damian is the forth. Damian is not a Dick. Dick Grayson: Taught Batman how to start acting like a father figure and to lighten up sometimes. Jason Todd: Taught Batman that maybe making random orphans Robin isn’t the wisest decision. (Too late as Bruce Wayne sponsors all of Gotham’s Robin Barracks… sorry I mean orphanages) Tim Drake: Taught Batman to move on from his fears of losing another Robin, the need to hide his identity better and the importance of trust and teamwork. Damian Wayne: Taught Batman that Ninja Swords go brrrrrrr. One of the redeeming qualities of the current Batman run is that it shows Tim to be the smart, helpful and sympathetic Robin. Whilst Damian immediately joins forces with the robot imposter Batman because he finally starts agreeing with Damian’s more extremist ideas. Jokes aside, like @Mandalorianknight, I don’t hate Damian. He’s just not the best Robin IMO. Chima referenced!!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ Thanks to the new season of Ninjago: “Somehow Chima returned.” I’m sorry that it wasn’t Bionicle that was resurrected. But maybe they’re next. And then Nexo Knights.

Well yes and no. I’m not sure whether you’ve studied history… But basically think of the premise of this film as loosely inspired by the CIA’s numerous attempts to overthrow Castro’s Communist regime in Cuba during the Cold War. For example: The Bay of Pigs Fiasco. Essentially there’s this US government program called Task Force X where the government uses the supervillains they have locked up in prisons (The titular suicide squad) to do their dirty work. Such as overthrowing legitimate but anti-American governments. Or retrieving/ destroying incriminating evidence of American activities that wouldn’t make the US look good on the world stage. Which is the premise of the film. In short the Suicide Squad is a super powered commando team that’s been sent to remove threats to US national security in a foreign country that has recently had an anti-American revolution.

LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours
CloneCommando99 replied to r4-g9's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Same here. But primarily Green Lantern characters for me. -
I think that it’s one of the better out of recent DC films. There are good emotional tones. The story is fun. And I liked the 1984 reference even though it was disturbing. King shark is easily one of the funniest parts. (I still can’t believe it’s the same actor as Rocky) Be warned it is very violent and gruesome though. Overall I highly recommend it if you want to try some of the better non-Batman DC films.

I know that it’s unlikely, but now that we know that a Star Wars Total War videogame is in development, is it possible that Lego could release a bunch of Battlepacks for the in-game factions to coincide with its release? -

LEGO Star Wars 2024 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!
CloneCommando99 replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
I think you may have just cracked it. It’s probably the most logical choice. But Lego isn’t known for being logical at times. -
A little late, I know. But on this topic… I feel like that Star Wars may be fading unfortunately in some ways. If you look at earlier this year when it was revealed that there would be a Mandalorian and Grogu Movie, there was not much talk of it or even jubilation among the fan base. This is concerning as if new Star Wars content isn’t able to generate hype, Lego sets based on said new Star Wars content will not do well. And therefore make the theme seem less successful in Lego’s eyes. Another example of this was Star Wars Celebration last year. Where not one, not two but three Star Wars movies were announced by Lucasfilm. Did the fan base celebrate. No, quite the opposite really. Many were outraged at the news that Rey would be getting a new movie. Others were concerned about how James Mangold could easily screw up the lore with his Prime Jedi Movie (Indiana Jones 5 was not looking promising at all to many at the time. And of course it turned out to be a disappointment.) And barely any talked about the Mandoverse movie as it was eclipsed by the worries and concerns for the two former films. The new content frankly isn’t generating enough hype. Or they do but they end up being disappointing/ not meeting fan expectations. (Looking at you: Kenobi, TBOBF and Mando S3.) The fans leave the series disappointed and aren’t inclined to watch more Disney content in fear of disappointment. This results in the subsequent series, whether they are actually good like Andor (which casuals wouldn’t have been inclined to watch anyway) or not, receiving low viewership numbers. This makes Disney and toy companies think that, due to the seeming lack of interested consumers, the content will not be profitable enough to have more toys (in this case Lego sets) based off it. Thus meaning that whilst content that is good but relatively low in viewership barely gets any sets, the more high profile series like Ahsoka, Kenobi and Mando will get sets, but will end up not selling as well. Thus causing Lego to retreat back into making more movie sets and barely any based off new content. As seen this year. I don’t think I’ve encountered a person so far that’s looking forward to obscure shows like Skeleton Crew. And seeing that Lego’s only planned release for that show is a £100+ set, Lego appears to be setting themselves up for failure. Whilst the animation department of Star Wars has a lot of set potential that even casuals will buy. Lego and Disney look at the viewership numbers, which are unfortunately always fated to be lower than live action content, and decide not to make sets. (Aside from CW ones to appease the “Clone Bros”) In short it’s a vicious cycle. New content gets released, Lego makes sets, fans dislike content because it supposedly “butchered” yet another fan favourite, Lego sets based on show don’t sell so well, less people watch subsequent content even if it’s good, this causes it to be ignored in the future by Lego and other toy companies, hype train is worn down. Resulting in less people watching the content that’s good. When there is good content some people come back, only to be disappointed by the next piece of content. After being let down so many times, some people will become antagonised against Disney and stop watching content and introducing their kids to it all together. Thus generation by generation, less and less kids will become enthralled in Star Wars. And when they do they join the hype and then eventual disappointment train. If you’ve read this. I’m sorry if this sounded like I was rambling. And my apologies if i bored you. But thank you for reading. Personally my love for Star Wars will never die. I have been a Die Hard Star Wars fan since the age of 4 and always will be. But it’s the Casual Fans, who make up the majority of the Fanbase who are leaving, and that’s what we should be worried about. The less fans a franchise has the less relevant it becomes.

Add a medieval warship to that list. With the Kraken emblem on the sails and a Lion Knight/ Black Falcon rowing boat for it to be fighting.
