It would be "a classic Burton batcave + a The Flash batcave". The fact they specified it's based exclusively on the second movie (ie: no Vicky Vale, no Joker) means it's only that (if one side of the box were dedicated to the "classic" section, it would include characters from the first one). Or maybe I'm totally wrong and someone corrects me tomorrow to confirm we're getting +15 characters. Stranger Things™ have happened.
GonzoTheGreat Posted April 27, 2023 Posted April 27, 2023 How do we think the Nicholson Joker(s) will differ from the previous 2 that have already been released. I hope at least one of the variations come with green hair and the green dress shirt and purple tie look

Same thing they did when they released a new Cesar Romero Joker. I would really like them to use the new fedora from the Indiana Jones sets, but I’m not getting my hopes up.
TurnOffTheDark Posted April 27, 2023 Posted April 27, 2023 I just read the leaked plot of the flash from someone who saw it at cinemacon...mayyyybe it's good we didn't get that set 😅

Some of it is likely real, but it’s just pieced together information. Some of the cameos he mentioned are already debunked.

Mandalorianknight Posted April 28, 2023 Posted April 28, 2023 Literally all but two reviews I've seen have said it's one of, if not the best non-TDK superhero film, so I have no idea what @TurnOffTheDark's referring to. Even the two that weren't that positive just say it's alright, but too ambitious. I haven't seen any overtly negative ones. I'd have loved a The Flash selection of sets. (And again, art from artist. Ezra Miller can be an absolute scumbag of a man who deserves to be in jail, and The Flash can still be a good movie.) Just from the trailers, we could have something like this: Batcycle chase ($19.99): Batcycle (not terribly oversized) and some of the city street with Batfleck, Barry 1, and 1-2 robbers/terrorists/villains (Based on the cancelled set): The Batmobile: Batman Returns ($44.99): Keaton Batmobile with Keaton Batman, Barry 1 (2013 prototype suit), Barry 2 (Plainclothes), and Supergirl. The Ultimate Batwing ($99.99): Large, 4-seater batwing and Kryptonian drone with Keaton Batman, Barry 1 (new suit), Barry 2 ("Batflash" suit), Supergirl, Zod, 2x Kryptonian soldier, and Spoiler Dark Flash, who IS visible in costume in the first trailer, and is hinted at heavily in the second. And we haven't even seen the movie yet! I could also see a kryptonian villain vehicle on it's own or even the Flying Fox, but the three above all feel like sets lego DC would have put out even a year ago (heavily batman focused, that is.)

Lego Nostalgia Posted April 28, 2023 Posted April 28, 2023 It's a shame sets don't leak as much as they used to.

Most of the reviews are saying it's the best DC movie since TDK. Not that it's particularly difficult, but still.
NovaBricks Posted April 28, 2023 Posted April 28, 2023 I mean, there really aren't that many great superhero movies if we're bring honest. Glad to see this is getting good reviews, but I have a hard time believing this is going to be anywhere near approaching any of the Nolan or Burton movies. I hope I'm wrong.
psqidexslizer Posted April 28, 2023 Posted April 28, 2023 TBF, WW84 and Black Adam both got stellar early reactions and BvS got a standing ovation so I wouldn’t put too much stock in early reactions.

You'd put the Burton movies near the Nolan ones? Look, I get that the Burton movies were the first time batman was "really" on film, but there's not a ton going on thematically. Of course on some level it's pretty unlikely the flash is going to be TDK trilogy or Logan, but it sounds like it could definately be a No Way Home. 3 hours ago, psqidexslizer said: TBF, WW84 and Black Adam both got stellar early reactions and BvS got a standing ovation so I wouldn’t put too much stock in early reactions. But nothing on this level. Tom Cruise didn't personally request a copy of WW84 and say he loved it.
Agent Kallus Posted April 28, 2023 Posted April 28, 2023 Well we all know that the best DC film of recent years was The Lego Batman Movie.

BB/TDK are my top two, and then a tier down is Burton/SM 1 and 2/Logan/X-2, then drop down a tier and you've got like Iron Man/Homecoming/The Batman. Then it just goes off a cliff for me . I get that I'm a bit more film snobbish than most but MCU stuff is just way too digital for me, and while the inter-connectedness is really cool, the novelty has worn off and it makes me not enjoy the films individually. There are some fun moments. But I prefer the trilogy format of the 2000's. I think you're right that The Flash will be No Way Home; fun in theaters with some cool nostalgia callbacks, but not a film I'm gonna rewatch. Hope to be wrong though!

We live in a timeline where a solid case for this can be made Even outside our AFOL bubble, it‘s a great movie that dealt with what makes Batman tick in a very nuanced way. And it‘s my favourite exploration of his relationship with The Joker too! Too bad the sequel will never see the light of day. My favourite recent DC film was The Batman, with TLBM being close behind.
