THELEGOBATMAN

I honestly like this movie, especially Val Kilmer's Batman. I love my Batman being wacky instead of all broody and serious.

I don't remember who, but one leaker has already confirmed that there's at least one more set for Sony's Spider-Man movies in the Summer.

For a Spider-Verse set? Of course they would. He's twice the Hulk's size.

I mean, depends which version. A comicbook one or the MCU one? Of course—but not the Spider-Verse one.

Yeah, I think that one's also pretty set in stone. The only one which we got conflicting rumours for was the Turbo Tank set.

You know what guys... I like your US Ambassador of Iran, Joker idea. But I think that it could work better as a buildable figure. Make it a huge D2C, it's gonna sell super well. That way, the Arkham Asylum could be a GWP instead. Who even needs a 400€ prison / psychiatric hospital building? Sounds boring to me, waste of good pieces and shelve space.

To be fair the Bale and Keaton movies have both got regular sets, as cheap as 40€. The Batcave is 100€, so it's still at a higher price point. I think kids won't care anyway, it's not like they're more connected to, say, Nolan's trilogy (if anything, Schumacher has more wacky and colorful designs). As for the rumour—no one's outright said it or confirmed it, but it has been unsubtly teased by at least two leakers.

Especially since he's the main villain of Into the Spider-Verse. I'd actually be really interested how they'd tackle his design in this movie. A bigfig with a regular minifigure head? That could work best, although I really dislike the flat area around a smaller head there.

All good. I'm kind of the same, although from a different perspective. I just love discussing things, but I know that sometimes I can come off as too headstrong. As for the UT-AT, yeah, that's one of the rumours that the leakers are sure about (unlike the Turbo Rider, which is sometimes labelled as a Rebuild the Galaxy set). The price though... 150€ for 813 pieces. Quite awful.

@Lego Nostalgia Do tell me, what if someone likes both? Loki is just as good as The Batman. One isn't better than the other because of some non-existent agenda. If you think that Nerdrotic or Critical Drinker are anything other than grifters who make money in a very calculated way, spreading negativeness trying to pander to people exactly like you (note: I don't mean any of the insults you mentioned, but people who think that "in the old days media was better and apolitical"), then you've been tricked by them. They have no views of their own, it's all an act to gather views from people who think that some catastrophic event happened in 2016 which suddenly led to movies becoming political (spoiler: they always were—that's how art works). You say that movie nowadays aren't made for entertainment and try to lecture people about modern politics, while at the same time praising movies like The Batman and (I assume) The Dark Knight, The Winter Solider etc. Those are some really political movies, and they haven't been made as pure entertainment. Filmmakers want their movies to say and mean something. Nothing is timeless, everything is influenced by the current time period. No one started shoving so-called agenda into their movies, you're just looking at the past through rose-coloured glasses. The Last Jedi isn't any more political than Revenge of the Sith (which is actually a movie about politics). And no, there's no such thing as a "true Star Wars fan". George Lucas didn't even have anything to do with Legends. It's not like he oversaw hundreds of novels and comics back then. Why do you regard it so highly? Why is Clone Wars a part of your "golden canon" (derogatory), but Rebels isn't? Sure, he probably helped make some parts of it, but a different, very diverse team of people was in charge of writing, directing, and making it all a reality. Again, who are you to say what being a "true Star Wars fan" means. Why do you think you have the right to establish what that even means? Did George Lucas himself come to you and say "Listen Mr. Lego Nostalgia: the true canon is just those six movies that I've made, a series that I've helped with, and an incomprehensible series of novels and comics that I've had nothing to do with. Anything else, well... that's just not for real fans." Your argument falls apart because you're purposefully focusing on the bad stuff like The Acolyte, while ignoring huge successes like Rebels, Rogue One or Andor. You can't talk about them, because either everything that Disney made is bad and a failure, or... you'd be wrong, because that's what your narrative focuses on. The last point I want to reply to is that you've simply figure out me completely incorrecly. "I've noticed it's always THELEGOBATMAN who's heavily against people speaking against stuff like Acolyte,Agatha,ST, I think I know why" No, I am not heavily against people who don't like those things. For one, I hate The Rise of Skywalker. I don't even like the setting they chose for the Sequels, which is extremely unimaginative. I think The Acolyte is painfully mediocre—a weak series with some good ideas, executed in a subpar way. Same for most recent MCU movies, Obi-Wan Kenobi, The Mandalorian, TBoBF, and so on and so forth. But then I also love stuff like Andor, Loki, Skeleton Crew, or GotG Vol. 3. That's what happens when you don't view stuff in black and white. I am not analysing the current state of political agenda in movies, but the movies themselves. Disney doesn't have any political views of its own, because it's a multimillion dollar company—it all depends on the creators they hire, and how the studuo executives work with them. You talk about people liking The Acolyte only because it aligns with their political views... but tell me, what political views does the series itself have? How is it more left than right? Because as far as I can tell, it's a pretty shallow, generic fantasy story. It doesn't really have any political views of itself, and you're blindly mistaking it for hiring more woman and people of colour? Or at least that's what grifters like Nerdrotic do, and I hope you're above that. I'm not against people criticising things. I love talking to people who have different opinions on a movie or a series—if they are willing to discuss it in a constructive way, it can lead to really interesting conclusions. What I don't like is the type of discussion you provide. You don't talk about the series itself. If you did, you would say exactly what you didn't like in your infamous example of The Acolyte, and then you'd move on. You didn't like it, you said why, and you stopped watching it. Having an actual conversation would help others with their own opinions, because maybe they'd see some things are actually worse than they thought. What you do, however, is talk about everything but the series itself. Mentioning non-existent agendas, wokeness, the age of social politics in media, "true fans" etc. These are made-up terms, used by grifters to fuel internet hate—because hate is a much quicker way of gaining traction than hope and positivity. (Sounds ironic, doesn't it? It's almost like... the Dark Side and the Light Side of internet discussion.) That's all I'll say on this topic to you, because frankly, this has nothing to do with this thread, but I really wanted to reply to some of your points.

LMAO no, obviously the nine movies part was a joke. Right now we know only that they are doing The Hunt for Gollum, a single movie, and then they are also preparing another, separate movie too. Two movies in total, unconnected to each other. https://x.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1847280177589465438

Wonder what will happen when the new movies start releasing, including the Gollum one. Probably might be enough to warrant more than just a single D2C set that year.

Marvel fans today: "Ooh, new details on the long-awaited Spider-Man 2 set!" "Guys, Quicksilver is finally returning as a minifigure!" "Mr. Negative has been teased, wonder if it means a Marvel's Spider-Man set is coming..." DC fans today: "Phew, our only 2025 hasn't been delayed / cancelled. What a great day to be alive!"

I don't know where the delay rumour came from, but apparently that one's fake.

Sure, but for example Attack of the Clones is also terrible, so I don't see how it undermines the original point in any way. Well that's the key point, isn't it? Because some parts of this franchise aren't getting any coverage. And I don't see how a single Sequels set with a cool vehicle or major characters would seel any worse than a random Clone set, or tenth remake of the same starship. I also don't really know why you're comparing a single The Acolyte set to a whole year of Clone Wars sets.

No, no way... this year's Quicksilver rumour is actually true?! Get out Spider-Verse. Move aside Anti-Venom and Mr. Negative. Bugger off Spider-Man 2. This is the real deal.

But Superman doesn't have to do No Way Home numbers, and there's no way it could. If it does more or less like The Batman it will already be a huge success, and an extremely successful start for the DCU. No one expects it to be a big box-office hit, because first they need to gain the audience's trust.

Mindblowing? More like wallet-blowing, because that poor thing would not recover from this.

A small part of me is hoping for a PlayStation Marvel's Spider-Man set. It's probably not though, but one can hope.

See? The Joker changed it. He works with LEGO, and he really doesn't want a Superman set—because then he'll disappear from my profile picture forever, insanity exchanged for hope.

I'm fairly sure 76971 and 76974 might just not exist. LEGO loves randomly skipping set numbers, and we've heard nothing about those two. For now, I think it's safe to assume they are non-existent, unless proven otherwise.

The name though... like, Luuke? Seriously? Oh I didn't mean it as an insult, just as a general term that signifies the variety of conflicting ideas. Of course there are a lot of great fanfaictions out there, but if you let fans write their own universe, you know it would quickly become a huge mess, even if it had some great stories. But I should stop talking because this has nothing to do with LEGO.

This made me go down the rabbit hole of reading threads with the most ridiculous Legends lore. Currently, I'm somewhere in-between Yuuzhan'tar (a sentient planet that just goes around the galaxy, accidentally created by a culture from another galaxy that uses organic spaceships) and the Sun Crusher (yet another superweapon, but this time it's basically invincible and can destroy whole star systems). Of course, Palpatine has also somehow returned, but you won't see Disney Star Wars haters talking about it. Not to mention the whole ridiculous Skywalker / Solo family tree. I think that the setting Disney chose for the Sequels is kind of bland, but I'm still glad it's not whatever Legends was even doing. There are some cool ideas, but as a whole, it's an incomprehensible mess that's a glorified fanfiction at best. I kind of enjoy the insanity of it all though, but only because it's exactly what it's called—legends. Oh and uh... Luuke Skywalker. I'm obsessed.

Right? Obviously I don't think Supergirl sets are in their plans right now, but if Superman does exceptionally well—or at least as well as The Fantastic Four—and the merchandise from other producers is popular with kids, I can see them rushing a Supergirl set with a tie-in Superman set too. (Or maybe I'm just delusional and really high on copium. But still, I just hope DCU does super well so that LEGO can't ignore it.)

You must be fun at parties. It sounds like bait, but I know it's not (unless it's some really dry sarcasm). The fact that you're serious is ridiculous, and you're acting like a manchild. How about, and hear me out on this—you let people enjoy what they enjoy? There is no "true Star Wars". Star Wars is Star Wars, which means anything branded as such. Prequels aren't more Star Wars than the Sequels are, because why would they be? "MaNdAlOrIaN aNd RoGuE oNe mIgHt Be CoNsIdErEd" might be considered for what? And who are you exactly to judge what might or might not be considered as Star Wars? The Last Jedi is easily one of the most interesting movie in the franchise, that did divide the fandom, but it was something truly fresh and original. It proved that Star Wars fans don't want anything new, and would rather stay with the way things were, without ever changing the status quo. The Acolyte wasn't even that bad, and I've got some incredible advice for you... if you don't like it, just don't watch it. And I don't mean it in a "you can't complain about anything" way—you can just say you didn't like it, explain why, and move on. You're not entitled to anything from this franchise, and not everyone piece of media in it has to be made specifically for you. "Marvel still has hope" again, hope for what? Sure, The Multiverse Saga mostly sucks or is rather mediocre, but it doesn't mean Marvel will be ruined forever. But this is a Star Wars thread, so I'll move on. LEGO should make Sequels sets, because you're not the only Star Wars fans in the world. The movie are not terrible, and they didn't "ruin" anything. One movie cannot retroactively ruin another one—those still exist, and haven't been affected by anything. If you didn't like the Sequels, that's okay—but let others enjoy them, because you're not the judge of Star Wars. Also, saying that Sequels "ruined the lore" while wanting Star Wars to focus on Legends is a pretty ridiculous argument, because they did things ten times as bad to the continuity and the overall coherence of the lore.
