THELEGOBATMAN Posted June 7, 2021 Posted June 7, 2021 12 hours ago, mgetz said: I think im done with buying anymore batman sets unless they are based off of the tim burton or dark knight movies, Im still hoping next year we get some sets based off of The Flash, Aquaman 2 and Black Adam I really hope we get a bunch of The Flash sets (after all it's a multiverse movie, so it has a lot of potential) and some Aquaman 2 sets (the first one got a set). What I hope the most for is that they'll start exploring the Shazam! part of DC - I need sets for Black Adam and Fury of The Gods. Shazam is possibly my favourite live-action comicbook movie ever so I am so pissed off we didn't get any sets for the 1st one.

lego_guyon02 Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Chris McKay has revealed what would've been the plot of the cancelled sequel to The LEGO Batman Movie: "It was a story about the Justice League and where Batman was in terms of the Justice League now, and the struggles they were going through, as well as flashing back to how the Justice League came together. [It also featured] Batman and Superman’s relationship, as well as Batman's relationship to a lot of the other members of the Justice League. And Robin, obviously, there was a really great part for Robin."

Imagine a Justice League wave with the quality of TLBM wave
CF Mitch Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 I just read the piece as well and it does sound like it would've been a great movie (even though I haven't seen the first one yet) and would also have come with fantastic sets. Really a shame it got cancelled... Any idea why/how? Regards, Mitch

I would have bought the entire wave without question.
Xzmmc Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 A chance to get a Justice League themed line, and we missed out. Because why would something nice ever happen?

The LEGO Batman Movie performed fairly well but never got close to the success of the original LEGO movie. Here's the details if you're interested: The LEGO Movie Budget: $60 million Gross: $468 million The LEGO Batman Movie Budget: $80 million Gross: $311 million The LEGO Ninjago Movie Budget: $70 million Gross: $123 million The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part Budget: $99 million Gross: $192 million
CF Mitch Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Thanks! There's definitely quite a difference between TLM and TLBM... Well, doesn't really matter, now. TLBM2 isn't gonna happen, so... Regards, Mitch
Anonknee Muss Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Not to mention Universal now has the rights to produce LEGO movies. There’s no way WB would just let Universal make a TLBM2 and WB and miss out on most of that money.

steyin Posted June 13, 2021 Posted June 13, 2021 Have there been any rumors of what this year's SDCC/Fandome minifig release is? Since there is no SDCC actually happening in person I wonder if there will be a separate Fandome contest again for whatever they are planning, if anything.

Nothing for anything SDCC seems to have popped up. On the strength of that I’m going to say something CW inspired with will leave equal parts uninterested and annoyed that a comic book counterpart won’t get made.

Have we ever gotten rumors for SDCC before anyways? I feel like it always just happens when it happens.

Characters like Two Face and Commissioner being unrecognizable was fine bc we got amazing comic versions of then in the years following these waves. But without that movie I wouldn’t have Black Canary, Hawkgirl, Mime, or that perfect Killer Croc. I honestly wish this sequel would have came to fruition, seeing how amazing the print was for the main cast, I can’t imagine how great the Leaguers would have looked, not to mention how impressive the character selection for the first one was, I can only imagine the likelihood of getting obscure leaguers and villains would have been high.
Falconfan1414 Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 Lego Batman 2 was going to be titled Lego Superfriends and Lex Luthor and OMAC would have been the villain

lego_guyon02 Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 Knowing this movie will never see the light of day is honestly just painful.

I like the focus on Justice League rather than just on Batman lore. Perhaps Starro, maybe even some figures from Justice League International! "We live in a society where Lego Superfriends is a distant memory"
cosmic Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 Its like nothing good is allowed to happen to Lego DC.
Robert8 Posted June 14, 2021 Posted June 14, 2021 I see IG posts saying there was going to be a huge crossover in TLBM2, but it doesnt say what it was Any guesses? My first thought is also the most unlikely: Marvel.

My first thought is also the most unlikely: Marvel. Yeah I don't know/understand why people think Marvel! It's pretty far fetched. Please correct if I'm wrong. Also heartbreaking that we will never see the light of day of LBM2 or any straight to DVD DC releases. All we can do now is sit back and see what Lego has installed for us later in the year and next year, as next year and going forward is huge for DC movies, at least... The Batman is coming!
