psqidexslizer Posted October 24, 2023 Posted October 24, 2023 Not that I’m complaining, but it’s kinda funny how we’re getting sets for BtAS next year when there’s (maybe) a new Batman cartoon coming out. Since there’s five sets including the art display, I could see us getting the Batcave, a Batmobile, a Batwing, and then another 4+ set that is just another Batmobile because why not. Joker will probably be a repeat from the art set which leaves maybe 2 “new” villains in the other sets. Probably just getting my hopes up here though, given how things have been going with this theme.

We can’t just go and ask for a special, never-done-before character like that! Seriously though, this TAS rumour does have potential! Not trying to push our luck, but TAS does have quite a few members of Batsy’s rogues gallery we haven’t seen in sets before that could THEORETICALLY be included. Not getting my hopes up just yet, but there is potential at least!

Not getting my hopes up just yet, but there is potential at least! I wouldn’t count on it. We got 5 Batman sets back in 2012 and only managed to get 7 of Batman’s rogues. And I don’t see Lego prioritizing Mad Hatter and Ventriloquist over guys like Riddler and Two Face who are household names and haven’t been on shelves for four years. Add to that, Lego seems to have lost faith in this theme, and I’d say we’d be lucky to get Two-Face and Riddler. But man, I’d love a BtAS CMF to coincide with the release of the art set.

The fifth set was cancelled. Is this true? How disappointing and predictable. A micro scaled D2C, a buildBle figure, a 4+ set, and a display piece. Anything but a proper figure scaled playset. They will do anything but produce a proper figure scaled play set. :/

It was a joke, but the fact that’s not immediately obvious says a lot about the state of the theme The likes of the TLBM theme and random JL sets seem like such distant memories at this point

They had it right at one point. Remember in 2017 when we got Batman vs the Scarecrow and they dropped Blue Beetle in that set? Or Batman vs Mr Freeze in 2013, when they dropped Aquaman in there? Like if Batman is the only thing that sells, give us Batman sets and sprinkle some other heroes occasionally. Idk why they felt the need to just give us the ugliest variants of Joker and Harley for the past 2 years! Like seriously the Jokers and Harleys of recent years have not even been aesthetically pleasing. Using a black and red variant of TLBM Harkey’s hair with the rebirth/New 52 Harley face? It was weird. The face print on the new Joker for me just looks weird. It’s all just so weird.
Falconfan1414 Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 There will be at least one four plus set this summer

He was kinda like a good guy version of Omni-Man from invincible. I think he even fought batman once or twice.

But what could kids possibly want more than Batman v Joker on repeat? Surely this is the best we can do. But if we are gonna make Batman sets there’s still ground to cover. Azrael, Lady Shiva, Mad Hatter, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, quite a few designs and portrayals over the years of Ivy with green skin. That’s one I really want. Plus Spoiler, Cassandra Cain, Tim with his helmeted Red Robin costume (the 2020 Captain Marvel mould from the Square Enix Avengers game wave in black would be perfect for this imo). Etc. we also have Bat family variants to produce. And if we are going to get Harley, give us her Hyena’s, thats a mould they can reuse in the Safari subtheme for City. Maybe an exclusive cackling face print on hers to make them special. And while Bat vehicles are nice, we have never gotten the Botanical Gardens, Iceberg Lounge, proper Wayne Manor, or more affordable builds like Ivys pink car from BTAS, or just anything creative and new really. I don’t mind just getting Batman content but there’s better ways to do this.

Like over at Marvel. I would say no, more the buildable figures, and I would think Batman TAS or Joker TAS, remember we have a joker movie coming out this year. I'm sure the kids will watch it lol. My guess fir the 5 sets. 1. Art set gotham Skyline, we know 2. 4 plus set, batacve with batwing to match releases from the last 2 years 3. BAS Batmobile, minifiguares, Batman, joker, and Harley 4. BAS batboat with side build of a mini timber wharf, minifguares, Batman, Robin and Killer croc 5. Buildable Joker , BAS theme Hopefully we get another 2 sets later in the year., if so 1. Joker Bust 2. Buildable Harley Quinn BAS Polybag - BAS mini Batmobile My 2 cents

I would actually accept mechs, if that is how we get other characters besides Batman! Also, a number of characters are well-suited to having mechs (such as Lex, Batman, Cyborg, Green Lantern, etc).

I meant that I would be OK with DC mechs if they were used as a way to give us desirable characters; you are correct, however, in that they will most likely just be Bats, Joker, and Harley. 🫤 13 minutes ago, Mandalorianknight said: Nah, he was more obscure than Homelander.

Be nice if its a figure scaled play set and not a micro or hyper expensive macro build. Be even cooler if some dope figs were included. Babydoll would be fun. Edited October 26, 2023 by cosmic

So, we’ve got: - Gotham City skyline (includes Batman, Joker, Harley, and Catwoman) - something that’s close to a buildable figure (A mech? A Batcycle that the buildable figure can ride? IDK) - a BtAS Batmobile (possibly 4+) - 4+ set? - one other set (probably cancelled) Sounds like us Lego DC fans will be eating good again this year. 😕
