There's Circe (my favorite) and Giganta, Doctor Psycho is also a great foil, the antithesis of everything Diana represents.

And who can forget the GOAT, Angle Man? 

Ah yes Angle Man, he's part of the Ngle League from Measurement Shape Comics, the team included, Square Man,Circle Woman,Captain Rectangle, Mr. Triangle and of course the one and only Angle Man, It's a shame it only lasted a few issues though, The best Crisis Event was, Ngle Leauge:Shape Wars, the stakes were very high, a good read in my opinion

On a more real note, I feel like she's definitely the most "hey let's kill ___" out of the trinity, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

This is right there with "Superman is too powerful to be interesting" and "Batman is just a rich guy who beats the mentally ill" as the trinity of asinine takes

But it’s true...?

Wonder Woman isn't a cold blooded killer, no, but she isn't opposed to it as much as Batman or Superman is.

Plus, she literally killed a guy.

I'd say the take is accurate.

How? The part about her being the most OK with killing (because she is) or the part about that not necessarily being a bad thing (because they need someone who's ok with it for when the situation demands it)

When you thought a green rock that can take out  Superman was stupid, wait till you find out a rope can stop Wonder Woman, who knew

[ARC2149Nova]

I think we ran turtle to ground. 

I heard that in order to summon him, one must simply state...

"Batman."

[cosmic]

When you realize the Talia Al Ghul figure is completely inaccurate and she's only really shown up in black and green outfits in both the comics and animation.....

Looking at that Talia Al Ghul figure they gave us years ago, I can't help but think she actually looks like Red Claw, not Talia. 

On that note, anyone else bummed out we'll likely never get Lady Shiva? I really liked her Beware the Batman costume, and was hoping we'd get that when the show was airing.

Lady Shiva and Anarky were must haves for me after that show. (Professor Pyg was even in it, that show is supremely underrated),

Maybe someday we'll get Shiva, along with the other missing Batman rogues.

Superman is one of the most boring Hero characters to ever exist in all of comics. 

If I told you I was creating a character who is virtually an indestructible god with only one real weakness which will be exploited over and over again for like 80 years by the same four characters, you'd say that's stupid as hell. That's Superman.

There's no drama to any of his battles, he's either gonna win essentially unharmed or the villain will pull the 492nd chunk of Kryptonite out their megablocks to win for a few minutes before losing anyway. If you wanna change up the battle, maybe they'll go after Lois Lane instead of Kryptonite, wow very exciting. I could honestly forgive all of it if he at least had some kind of genuinely interesting development or backstory, but he doesn't. He's just another god like alien in a universe literally full of them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5/5

 

Except it isn't just kryptonite, parasite and livewire fight him without that, and so do foes like toyman and volcana.

 

 

Also, i don't know if the 2004 show is the best idea for a batgirl vs poison ivy, ivy is generally in her late 20's and powerful, not a teenager like batgirl was in that show.

I honestly can’t remember. But it’s still pretty incriminating either way. 

Let’s see: She switches Wonder Girls every 5 minutes, got her mother turned into clay during the New 52, she’s a deadbeat mother to Hunter Prince in that one future timeline, most evil person in the Injustice universe, got outsmarted by Jonkler and was knocked out by and switched clothes with Harley Quinn.

 

Who’s next on the agenda?

Cassie shouldve stayed wonder girl, I like donna but she has like 5 inconsistent origins, and yara flor is just kinda forgettable.

ALL of villainy incorperated is good, wonder womans foes are goofy but I love them, Silver Swan and Hypnotic Woman are a lot of fun.

Yeah Talia typically wears white, green or black, not sure what lego was thinking with the red but I actually quite like it for her.

I'd love to get Mad Hatter, Cavalier, Punch & Jewelee, Tiger Moth and Copperhead soon for batman, but we'll need some characters like another robin first.

Is there a reason I wouldn't title it that? Am I stupid?

In seriousness though, I don't know how Man would feel about being demoted to the parentheses. He might come after me.

(In actual seriousness, here's hoping there are real DC sets in 2025, in which case I'll keep the 2025 topic on topic and I can retitle this topic to Lego Aslume ongoing discussion for all the continuing garbage.)

Oh yes please do. We’ve frankly reached the point of no return this year so we might as well see it through. Let’s pray for Superman sets next year. But if it’s just Man vs Jonkler then we will remain insane.

Well there's the issue. I've not read Wonder Woman myself but I have had many conversations with fans about it and the biggest issue they keep mentioning is how the character gets warped for the sake of contrasting Batman and Superman. The moment where she Kills Maxwell lord is very controversial for this reason and l can get why. According to longtime fans it sorta set her down this path she's in know with the Tom King run where every other line of dialogue is going "this is how you are different to Batman and Superman" and ignoring her actual character.

The trinity is argued to be suffocating the character because it strips her of her traits to play better off Batman and Superman. Which I get not liking, imagine if DC officially decided to make Harley the fourth member, and then decided that she and Batman had too a few too many things shared so Batman was booted from Gotham and the Joker no longer gave a shit about him and fully became Harley's rival.

Of all the stupid things anyone has said regarding that stupid lingo, this is by far and away the most stupid. Don't take it as a compliment, it is genuinely the worst idea in the history of ideas and I will more than happily up my quota of calling you stupid. It might not even be anything to do with it, but I will call you stupid, Stupid.

There's a few very good reasons, one of them being that it is a horrendously stupid idea. I will gladly leave Eurobricks if that utter crap gets any form of validation outside of having to tolerate it within the thread. Having asked everyone to dial back on it because of it unearthing childhood trauma of being bullied with this same said method, and been loudly ignored, I can't think of a more asinine suggestion. I find it remarkable a community that embraces inclusivity and acceptance is so prepared to repeatedly ignore someone's distress because their overdone and therefore boring gag is more important. But you do you.

Considering the fact that this thread is no longer dedicated to future Lego DC sets and minifigures, the idea isn't stupid by itself - but the proposed title doesn't correspond to the situation. A better option would be: "anything DC comics-related and beyond - discussion". 

Seriously, the modern state of this thread is the one most valid proof of Lego DC's permanent death. Considering recent events, I won't be surprised if the same happens to Lego Star Wars in the future...

My apologies that I upset you. It was not my intention. But I’m very sorry that it was a consequence. I admit that my idea for the title of next year’s discussion thread was quite deranged In hindsight. But generally I was meaning that this discussion thread has, due to our off topic discussions, evolved/ devolved (depends how you look at it) beyond the confines of Lego DC. And frankly it’s our insanity (due to the lack of DC sets) that’s caused it. And it’s actually become a nice place where we can make jokes, have friendly discussions about our favourite heroes and attempt to re-educate Turtle on his views on Superman from time to time. Once again, my apologies that I offended you, and I assure you that I didn’t mean to unlock any unpleasant memories that you have.

This is what I meant. Just to let people know that this has become a discussion thread for more than just a few DC sets, and that this is generally a place of fun and laughs nowadays.

With Disney deliberately outright murdering Star Wars in the last days (DCEU creators tried hard to create something decent, at least) and facing fan backlash TLG may end the Lego Star Wars line just as Lego DC.

Not trying to discount any history of yours, but I would tread a bit more respectfully. Clone's always been really nice with us, a good sport, if you will.

I don't think anyone wants to push anyone else off Eurobricks, but I've actually enjoyed discussing the larger DC Universe in this thread, even if most of it isn't actually serious. Not sure how others having a bit of fun is bullying, but I'm sorry you feel that way (and I don't mean that in a condescending way). I personally don't get the Aslume stuff myself, it overloads my capacity for sarcasm, but perhaps we can have some serious side conversations along the way.

I can see that. But killing Maxwell Lord isn't such an out of character thing for her, though. Diana saw no other way out, and instead of bulling around like Supes or Bats would've, she ended the threat. Who knows what else she inadvertently averted by killing Lord, too. There may have been far more than just OMACs to worry about, if Lord had lived.

Like I said earlier, I don't like a uber-dark "why don't we just kill everyone?" Wonder Woman, I agree that's not who she is, but she's a warrior, and a fantasy hero at that. It's hard to imagine a mythological hero that wouldn't kill in the heat of battle.

I also think that joke was "tempting fate" at best, but I also get it. Keep the trend of general discussion. Problem is...

We actually want sets to discuss next year!  Besides, threads don't really get closed here, if anything, the Aslume will forever live on in this thread. Also, there is no reasoning with Turtle.

Here lies the problem of DC. DC doesn't have anything as popular and beloved as the OT or even the Prequels. DCEU is dead. Adam West's 1966 show is pure nostalgia, which the younger audience would probably regard as an unfunny parody of the dark and gritty Batman they got used to. Burton's two movies and the Nolan trilogy even more so won't save Lego DC, because TLG barely tapped into the 'vast' resources of their potential. DCAU, while favorite among geeks (and freaks like myself) and remembered by those who were kids back in the 90s, cannot be compared to the six Star Wars films in terms of popularity. 2024 is the first year TLG truly remembered that it even exists

Good points. The truth is that DC or even Batman will never be as popular as Star Wars (as an entire franchise.) However I wouldn’t say that Disney’s completely murdered Star Wars. We still get the good piece of content every now and then (Andor my beloved). Honestly I believe the ratio for the quality of SW content at the moment is for every good piece of content get 2 bad/ mediocre pieces of content. That isn’t so bad compared to Marvel having a 90% bad content rate right now.
 

Just out of interest:

Hypothetically, If Justice League Unlimited got a revival similar to X-Men’97 would we get sets? X-Men’97 got a few sets.
