Is it an alien version of batman or so sort of other dimension version? Here's another pic of him in the comics. http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110112054334/batman/images/c/cc/ZurEnArrhBatsuit.jpg Zur En Arrh!

I read the first 2 ( issue 0 and 1), but it's difficult to commit to a weekly series that will last 48 weeks. I'm on the close to dropping Batman eternal for the same reason, I could get another 2 series like Green Arrow and Justice League united. I did like futures end but I don't like long events, Forever evil was awesome but it took 8 months to complete which was pretty bad. I'll still get some of those hollow graphic covers though as I really liked last years.

To be honest it makes perfect sense for LEGO to release sets around the new video game. First off after the Delay of BvS LEGO has had to create a new bunch of sets. That most likely explains why we're probably getting a ton of new 52 variants. They don't need new moulds, and really full out a set with variety. Second since DC doesn't have any kid shows or films out next year, it would be good from a marketing perspective to link to something that will sell well. Third is that it already gives LEGO some ideas for sets. They can look at the game and say, watchtower would fill this slot, and that brainiac ship would fill the £20 set. It's also a way to keep Batman as the main character but include a lot of fan favourites.

Over all I've liked Batman and Robin/ Batman and guest, Nightwing was a great issue and the Batman and Robin annual 2 was also great. However the main problem I have especially with recent issues is the art. The art is what stops me picking up this series regularly. This week is a bulky week for me, Batman 31, Nightwing 30, Flash 31, Batman eternal and maybe Secret origins.

That's certainly a new cyborg as one used in the last game was based on his 80's outfit ( I think?). Wonderwoman looks great in her New 52 outfit as does Superman, Green Lantern however looks strange to me. He's not got the same gloves as the flash light and he has hip printing which doesn't look right.

I could see the exclusive being either a Green Lantern, Alfred, Tim Drake or Brainiac. Reason being that we have neither Alfred or Tim and they are bound to get a lot of screen time in the new one. A GL not Hal but maybe John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, Guy Gardener or any other Lantern that requires no new moulds, mainly because Hal sends that signal into space at the end of the first one for more GL to help. Brainiac seems more likely as they set him up as the big villain for the next one.

While I agree that the hold doesn't look right, I can understand why LEGO chose it. They most likely didn't have enough budget to make another new mould. I mean we've already got new moulds for Rocket, Nova , Groot, Star Lord ( Helmet and guns), Rohan's helmet and the new gun for the henchmen. Plus we've also got a new mould for Wolverine's mask, so they most likely didn't have the budget left after all of those.

Agreed DC need to get rid of Goyer, ever comic book movie he makes feels like it's apologising for the source material. The fact that he insulted both Martian Manhunter and such a strong female character like She hulk, kind of proved he shouldn't be in charge of JL.

To be honest Wright hasn't really done much good to Antman, I mean originally Antman was suppose to come out around the same time as Iron man 1 and Incredible Hulk. It's because Wright kept wanting to do other Projects (Hot Fuzz, Scott Pilgrim and Worlds End) that it's taken this long to get him. The film has been delayed twice under Wright, and he's also the reason that Marvel changed Ultron's origin. While he's an good director, I feel this movie may finally get some momentum now he's left. I mean it's taken him 8 years to get to this point which is really a joke, especially considering how fast Marvel is moving with its other properties.

I read Forever Evil 7 earlier today and I've got to say I loved it. It will be interesting to see how this new Justice League functions, and I'm looking forward to seeing how Luthor and Batman interact with each other. I'm guessing that Flash and Supes will leave the team due to Cold and Luthor joining, which is a shame however it's great to see Shazam. Speaking of Shazam I felt Mazahs was under used, maybe they should have brought him in at issue 5. Still this event as a whole was pretty awesome, the only down side it had was the constant delays that kept dragging it on.

Plus the fact that Star lord has been in space since he was around 6.

It's part of Groot's powers heres what Wikipedia says about it wiki quote Groot can absorb wood as food, with the ability to rebuild himself and enhance his strength. He can control trees, using them to attack others, and also appears to be resistant to fire. He is able to sprout, dramatically increasing his mass but also severely inhibiting his movement. Groot has been seemingly killed on three occasions, each time regrowing from a sprig. Due to Groot's lineage, coming from an ancient and ennobled sap-line and being the scion of an elite royal house, Groot has received the finest education from the most gifted of tutors. He is highly intelligent and has a tremendous grasp of quasi-dimensional super-positional engineering.

I don't think we'll see wonder man for a while, especially since Weadon absolutely hates him. With Weadon as one of the big story writers plus general overseer it rules him out of the MCU for a few years.

Well they seem to have sold out several times in England. My nearest store has had to restock twice, this time they have 8 boxes on the shelves. Never underestimate the power of nostalgia, why else would LEGO make Back to the Future and Ghostbusters? Sure CUUSSO gave TLG the idea but it was all the adults who grew up with those films and The Simpsons who ultimately hold such properties close to their hearts that buy the sets. Just look at the accessories that come with the figures, Choo Choo choose you card, Biclops comic, Blinky, old man yells at cloud these are all references to season 12 and under. While the most recent seasons don't spark large amounts of interest, reruns of old seasons are still extremely popular. The Simpsons are basically like old Rockbands, no one wants the new album the Rolling Stones are putting out, but the Greatest hits will always sell.

While I would love a TV show for Justice League, I don't think it could be made with a TV budget. Game of Thrones has a huge budget but even then a lot of battles in the second and third season happen off screen. Plus a lot of characters will need a lot of expensive visual effects to look right, Flash, Martian Manhunter, Superman and Green Lantern each have very visual super powers and that's not to mention getting a good selection of vehicles for Batman. On top of that you have to get the Villains down right, Darkseid, Doomsday, The Crime Syndicate, Secret Society, Injustice League, The Rogues and the Legion of Doom each have several members with superpowers that will be expensive to produce on TV. take Bizzaro for example, Flight, Ice beams, Fire breath, Super strength and superspeed are each very difficult to get right effects wise. Now imagine having a whole Justice League fight Bizzaro, it would cost way to much to produce.

Oh ye don't get me wrong I can't wait for this or the LEGO that follows haha.

The car looks cool but the Suit is 50/50. The actual suit looks fine but the Batsymbol looks awful and the cowl looks just as bad. I've never been a fan of short ears and to me they look incredibly stupid on the cowl. I'll make up my full mind when we get a photo without the stupid Instagram black and white crap over it. Hopefully the suit is dark great with a black cape and cowl, blue would look awful.

Ye it's fake lego would never print that much green onto a black leg, they would most likely at that point have an olive green leg and print black on it to save money. Also the Spidey figure he also has posted looks like a custom, and although he says he found them on google he offers no source.

Sorry I've already sold all the gliders and coffin cars.
-
Nah the new 52 flash doesn't have goggles, but he does have that chin strap bit that gusto has also got. I think I've seen a couple of else world flash' like Johnny Quick ( Crime Syndicate ) with goggles.

My nearest WHSmiths had tons left over at the end of the day so I travelled back down and bought a load just before closing.

Went to WHSmiths today to pick up some Spider Gliders, I was suprised however that my WHSmith store was empty. There wasn't a soul except the employees, is it just my store or is it like this else where? The DM don't really promote these promotions as well as the Sun used to. I remember the Sun having TV ads and everything.

Maybe you should create your own or print off decals, bootleg minifigures are usually designs stolen from LEGO or AFOL who create custom decals, bootleggers have an unfair advantage since they don't have to pay Marvel or DC for the licence, they don't have to pay LEGO for copying their sets and designs and they don't have to pay AFOLs who have also put there own hours into there creations to have them stolen. As far as I'm concerned Bootleggers are thieves who illegally make money using other more talented people's ideas.

Following the news that The Flash, izombie, Constantine and Gotham have all been picked up for full seasons, DC released a poster each for Flash and izombie. http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/JoshWildingNewsAndReviews/news/?a=99765 The Flash looks great and significantly more red than in previous pictures, although the outfit looked awesome to begin with it looks a lot more awesome now.
