Please tell me, is there at least a small chance that next year we will see DCU sets (For example, Superman: Legacy)? I doubt it tbh, The movie has a good chance of flopping at the box office and I doubt Lego would want to take the risk of making sets for a movie with no guarantee they will sell well. As much as I like the DC universe (Batman mostly) the brand isn't doing well besides Batman so I'll just expect The Batman 2 sets, 4+ bike and a buildable figure. Would be pretty funny if they just gave us a Superman buildable figure lol. Edited January 25, 2024 by Lego Nostalgia Quote

Even though DC has been flopping left and right lately and Lego hasn’t been willing to take a chance, I think there’s enough interest in a Superman reboot for Lego to take a risk. Quote

When FalconFan said that "The pod wasn't the 200€ set" did he mean that: A) He knows what the 200€ set is, and it is indeed something else. B) He was talking about the pod being the 70€ set. Because if he only meant B, there's still a chance the 200€ set is also a batpod, no? $200 is not a batpod Quote

kuzyabricks Posted January 25, 2024 Posted January 25, 2024 I for one am very excited about the batpod. It’s a shame we’ve never had it as an official UCS release and I wouldn’t mind a DK buildabke figure, I like bale’s suit a lot. Hopefully most of the pieces go into the batpod though… Quote

Lego Nostalgia Posted January 25, 2024 Posted January 25, 2024 I had a dream while I was sleeping and I saw that the 200 euro D2C was The Batman 2022 Batmobile (Which I would love) funny how the mind works huh. Quote

A Superman film flopping? He‘s DC’s #2 guy, no way it‘s gonna outright flop! And even if TLG wasn‘t 100% onboard, they can‘t just unilaterally decide not to produce any sets. WB will very likely promote the **** out of this movie, so they can surely, let‘s say, convince TLG to play along Edited January 25, 2024 by BrickBob Studpants Quote

I really want DC to succeed since I love the animated Justice League cartoon and we really need a proper connected DC universe with no studio meddling. Edited January 25, 2024 by Lego Nostalgia Quote

So... They might not have wanted to. On top of that Lego's history of producing sets for films that bomb and/or suck is a thing of legend. So when they produce a line of sets to tie in with the film but are only of previous outings, that suggests to me that both parties had a significant say about sets. Disney is also not Warner, so they will have different negotiating requirements. Quote

I wish Lego made more sets based on the DCAU. I don't totally like it (Batman Beyond being my least favourite), but it's good enough and deserves to be represented with Lego sets. P.

Lego Nostalgia Posted January 25, 2024 Posted January 25, 2024 I'd say the Superman movie will need to make at least 700 Million in the box office to not be considered a flop.

A lot of set potential with animated DC shows also If Lego made a set for The Marvels (which is possibly the worst superhero movie ever made) then why wouldn't we get Superman sets. Quote

Disney has Lego by the balls, Star Wars and Marvel sell well for Lego meanwhile Warner lost the rights to the Lego Movie, and I'm pretty sure I heard something about Warner telling Lego not to make DC sets.

At the end of the day, the MCU is still the MCU, even with it's steep decline. Marvel sets are always going to sell on some level by virtue of being marvel- that same apparently can't be said for non-batman lego DC in lego's eyes, since we haven't gotten any since 2020. 56 minutes ago, BrickBob Studpants said: Off-topic, but bold of you to say that in a world where Catwoman, Daredevil, Spawn, the 70s Captain America, Fant4stic, Morbius, and many more such masterpieces exist 1) How DARE YOU, good sir, suggest that Morbius could even be in CONVERSATION with any of these films. It is the single greatest media product of all time. 2) Your general point is totally right- it's definitely a contender for the worst MCU movie (and arguably I'd put the Daredevil movie above a couple of those), but there are some movies that go far lower than "soulless CGI fest" and are somehow significantly worse. 12 minutes ago, psqidexslizer said: Glad I’m not the only one here who HATED The Batman.

Legocentrico Posted January 25, 2024 Posted January 25, 2024 It may be a success or not, but either way I think Superman's return will get a great marketing campaign, and Lego will definitely be part of the merch producers Quote
