ASLUME (formerly Batman (DC Superheroes) 2024 - Rumors & Discussion)

[Lego Nostalgia]

New York may have The Punisher to deal with criminals but Lego City has The Brick Separator who kills the criminals of Lego City by removing them brick by brick.

Agent Chase and his agents are on the case as we speak, Ultra Agents are a fraud and copycat of the old agents team from 2008

It is a little weird how many people are jumping to the idea that other heavily militarised LEGO government organisations would jump to fix the systematic issues in LEGO City. These issues have been here before the agents and ultra agents and after them, if they were going to do something they would have by now, they're far more likely to be sent after those who try spread the word about the corruption than fix anything themselves. In fact the agents and ultra agents might benefit from the same industrial complex as the LEGO city police department. Though perhaps the previous LEGO Secret Agencies were dissolved/had all key members fired because of their opposition to the way LEGO city is run and now are an off the books thing trying to evade the law and stop the current government without any official funding. Have we seen any suspicious minifigures in the other sets who could be any of the agents in disguise?

It’s funny that you say that. The hooded guy who wears a mask in the new Robot Rollercoaster has appeared in quite a few sets at this point. And he kinda looks suspicious.

SLANDER AND LIES

I THINK YOU'RE BEING PAID BY CORN-COB TO SLAG HIM OFF

The Dummy only takes objects apart, people would be unharmed

I AM NO AGENT OF CORN-COB! HE IS A MONSTER. I have reason to believe that Corn-cob is in reality the puppet of Hypaxus 8 and Lord Vortech. They want to conquer the Lego prime world. They, communicating with Lord Vampire and the Overlord are conspiring to conquer the Lego multiverse. There may be other members of this dark council but for now I do not know. Johnny Thunder and the remaining Ultra Agents are all that are left on the Lego prime world who have a chance against Corn-Cob, Hypaxus 8 and Vortech.

My apologies. You know what?! Sure innocent people may die, but if that is the cost of victory then so be it. In Johnny Thunder and Demolition dummy we trust. and whatever other heroes that they can assemble from other dimensions.

If you want an explanation on my theory on how this multiverse works then do ask.

How do Ogel and Sam Sinister fit into the new lore? What about the Rock Raider attack on the Crystal King‘s forces?

[Lego Nostalgia]

There's a conspiracy in Lego City that the Power Miners aren't actually mining for crystals and that they work for the Mayor and have planted lots of TNT under Mayor Corn Cob's opposition so he can take out the other candidate and win the election for himself.

Sam Sinister died ages ago, his corpse hangs in Barron Von Barron's Manor. Ogel was pretty old looking back in the 2000s plus hasn't been heard of since so my money's on him dying in prison after being detained by alpha team

I'd expect he's Solomon Blaze of anyone, his face is far too recognisable to not be covered whenever he has to go in public 

The Dummy has avoided detection because he fled to Billund with a few other minifigures considered potentially 'problematic' for the regime, he can only be brought in once an actual plan is in place as Blaze knows he can't risk they're most dangerous weapon being potentially thwarted before they're ready.

Johnny Thunder is currently working for the City as the team's mole to try find anyone else potentially able to be flipped + as an informant for the team

I accept your apology, I'm sorry myself for the accusation I am just weary as anti Dummy bigotry has been on the rise since Corncob went mask off with his plans (When LEGO police started becoming heavily militarised from 2013 onwards) the stuff that happened behind the scenes on the LEGO movie would make your blood churn. Also worth noting the Dummy has never harmed an innocent and it's my belief he never will because he is divine and only brings his wrath to the unworthy and cruel but I get my religion isn't everyone's so we'll agree to disagree there.

As for potential heroes 

Agent Dash from the Alpha team is the only member show to still be around, it is likely the rest of his squad was killed and he's trying to avenge them. He might be too much of a loose canon to trust.

Professor Kilroy currently runs a museum since he retired from adventuring, he's too old to be an active part but can be made a covert informant as he's got lots of useful knowledge of artifacts they could use to take down Corn-cob

Based of the description of the world of monsters from the series 14 CMFs we can conclude that Lord Vampire's group is a gang of extremists born from the prejudice and ghettoisation of the Monster community. Most of the CMF monster's are friendly and enjoy the company of humans but aren't allowed to live amongst them due to Corn-cob's rules. Many of them could be valuable assets due to their otherworldly powers. As well as this by showing monster's there is a right way to change the world could stop more of them from being radicalised by lord vampire. The team does have an interesting with that community as the beloved community leader, the Monster scientist, fled the country with the Dummy.

Also worth considering if our team would be able to contact intergalactic allies due to Solomon Blaze's valour in Galaxy squad

Sorry for the double post but more lore as been unearthed 

Most of the miners were unaware of this, it's what lead to Duke, Rex and Brains abandoning the team. The former two had few employable skills outside of mining so they took part in the death races of 2010 to be able to afford going off the grid while Brains joined the Atlantis team and through what he told Bobby Buoy made him choose to rebel against Corn-cob. Brains was unfortunately caught and detained while trying to flee the country with Bobby, which led Bobby to stay and fight. Duke and Rex's status is unknown. The teams leader, Doc, was fully in on the plan with Corn-cob the entire time as he was a high ranking member of the third iteration of Space Police and personally was in charge of many of the decisions that lead to the poor relations between humans and aliens in LEGO Space to try limit any potential help the citizens of LEGO earth could get when his masters' plan comes into fruition 

It is rumoured Doc killed Brains in a torture session trying to get the location of Bobby

[Murdoch17]

But what about the droid attack on the Wookie's?

...wait a second - wrong evil guy controlling a formerly democratic nation, slowly turning it into a despotic empire for his own gain. Sorry about that!

Hold up. Mayor Corn Cob took over in 2019. That’s around the same time DC started falling off. What if he’s behind it? What if he doesn’t there to be any superheroes around to save Lego city?

[legoturtle]

I have that Mayor minifigure. She is honest BUT I also have all Power Miners bad guys. They could easily be underground, working for BANE. AND who is behind Bane... mmm... yes! You guessed it. Purple 13 and.... he he heeee....

Yeah, go on then

To simplify this I’m going to use the DC numbered earth format. I shall be listing themes that belong to each of the main universes. (No licensed) Assume that each of these universes have the standard City and Space themes and by extension Mayor Corn-cob reigns supreme. (Except for the obvious exceptions)

The first 3 universes are the most important ones.

Earth Prime: Alien Conquest, Pharaoh Quest, Power Miners, Atlantis, Adventurers, Dino, Aqua Raiders, Time Cruisers, Castle, Aquazone, Life on Mars and Space police all take place here. Seeing that they each connect to at least one other theme in this list. (It has the most themes so that’s why it is Earth Prime) 

Earth 2: Monster-fighters, Galaxy Squad and Ultra Agents 

Earth 3: Ninjago and Chima

My theory is that The First Spinjitzu Master, Majisto and some sort of powerful being from Earth 2 organised this string of realities to try and stop Lord Vortech.

From here begins the list of realities with single themes.

Earth 4: Bionicle

Earth 5: Nexo Knights

Earth 7: Hero Factory

Earth 8: Monkie Kid

Earth 9: Dreamzz (This is a hub-world to the other universes)

Earth 10: Exoforce

Earth 11: The Lego Ninjago Movie

Did I miss any themes that also fit in any of the earths or do I have it covered?

Well the plot thickens once again here as consider, the LEGO Batman game trilogy features next to no original LEGO characters in any form, however in LEGO Batman 3 there is one notable one whose parts are in the customizer and a certain quest requires you to make, who is that? You guessed it, the Demolition Dummy, perhaps he knew what was coming and attempted to warn the LEGO DC earth only to be found out and thwarted before he could, leading to his hiding in Billund. It would also explain why the Ultra agents were immediately defunded with the theme ending in 2015, months after LEGO Batman 3 dropped, the Dummy got made and it alerted the forces that machinations against them were in the works so they disavowed the ultra agents to stop them learning any more about their plans.

But who in the DC earth would have snitched on the Dummy whilst he was trying to save them all. Let's consider what we know about the villains so far. They are seemingly mainly attacking Minifigure earths, they would need to have eyes and ears on the DC earth as well as all the others, they stand something to gain from destroying the Prime and DC lego worlds, they're good at organising various unrelated forces AND they're completely over looked.

Here me out here, what if the secret mastermind behind all these schemes is...

BRICKHEADZ JOKER!

We know from Turtle he rules LEGO Gotham with an iron fist, he'd obviously resent the minifigures for how all the Lego builds are designed for their scale,  consider perhaps he wants to make all minifigures suffer for this so he gets rid of almost all of the Lego original themes so the prime earth has next to no defence, he united the LEGO world's most vile to help him place a puppet leader in the most powerful city on the earth and turns it into a police state to stop the people rising up to resist him  and while he's at it, out of pure spite, he decimates the minifigures on his earth, the only ones he can't bring himself to try kill are the Batmans, Jokers and Harley Quinns leading them to overrun that earth as all other types of DC minifigures slowly die off around them, and then he introduces all the bizarre non-minifigure sets no-one buys so he can have his own evil army of unsold Black Panther Busts and thicc Chewbaccas to march on the other earths when earth prime falls.

But of course this leaves us asking, how could he have found out the plan of our heroes, the Dummy wouldn't run his mouth to anyone, he's a little gormless but not dumb. But consider, perhaps he had united the heroes in a completely inconspicuous place, let's say a pizzeria, to warn them and unbeknownst to all in the building there happened to be someone working for the BRICKHEADZ Joker still in the building, listening in from the basement ...

The Rock monsters are in on it too, thank you turtle, we assumed they were a third party but BRICKHEADZ Joker is too clever to let a wildcard like them not be under his thumb

Another benefit of him doing what he does, though marvel seems too unaffected for it to not be at least a little personal 

Another thing to consider, while DC and unlicensed themes have been getting short changed what theme has continued completely understand perturbed? BRICKHEADZ...

“Oh yeah. It’s all coming together.” - Kronk
 

So let me get this straight, is this is how the hierarchy of this evil organisation goes?

Brickheadz Joker is the mastermind

Lord Vortech is number 2

Lord Vampire, The Overlord, Monstrux, Makuta Terridax, Ogel, Sam Sinister and Mayor Corn-cob (in all the realities in which he exists), TLNM Garmadon and Hypaxus 8 are all Generals in this evil Cabal.

Any other named villains are just low ranking officers?

As for actual armies, I think it’s safe to say that they include: LCPD, all iterations of Stone Warriors, Nindroids, Shark Army, Oni, Magma Monsters, Stone Monsters, Chima Scorpions, Chima Spiders, Chima Bats, Atlantean Warriors, Galaxy Squad Aliens, Hypaxus 8’s Aliens, Rock Monsters, Mummies, Radicalised Monsters, Dinosaurs, Wolf Knights, Brotherhood of Makuta and the Nightmares.

My god. Johnny Thunder, Bobby Buoy, Demolition Dummy and Solomon Blaze are screwed.

 

I think we just uncovered a Lego-wide Conspiracy. We need to warn the Licensed themes before it’s too late!

2019 is also around the same time LSW moved away from Minifigure based sets to more gimmicky 18+ sets. Mayor Corn-cob must be disassembled no matter the cost. He has already done irreparable damage to more than just the Main Lego Realities.

We need to assemble everyone who hasn’t been compromised yet! Light the beacons! Lego City calls for aid! Summon the Lego Justice League (no wait they’re already dead). Summon the Avengers, The Ninjago Ninja, The Nexo Knights, The Jedi Order, The Toa. Whoever we can find. This is no longer about the home-themes. The entire Lego omniverse is in peril!

Could all of these sinister agents of evil be linked to the Maelstrom in some way? Like their power is linked to the Maelstrom, which feeds off chaos they create, leading every villain down their dark path?

Sam Sinister is dead, the Pharaoh's curse got him ages ago.

All the Bionicle characters good and evil would be deceased or bed ridden by now, BRICKHEADZ Joker sterilised the entire Constraction race shortly after shutting down the Ultra agents stopping more of them being made then closed all health care in that realm so almost a decade on they'd have all succumb to broken limbs and joints by now with no treatment

Besides that I suspect given his motives BRICKHEADZ Joker will turn on all his underlings shortly but that doesn't make him any less of a threat as before then who knows what he could do to all other themes

Oh ofc, Galidor will be the unlikely hero who helps hold the line against the big threats, despite all they've been through they can't bare to see other LEGO people's suffer, when they come to hold off the old LEGO villains for our heroes (imagine the Ent's fighting the orcs from lotr) they tell them and ancient phrase they've learned to summon a mythical figure to help them

"Can do, Will do"

And just like that Jack Stone appears and with his might builds the team a portal to recruit other heroes

Perhaps, maybe BRICKHEADZ Joker is the physical manifestation of the Maelstrom.

Something our heroes must consider now are the unlikely alliances they must make. Perhaps the Black hole gang, being rather fond of the universe and being alive, strike a temporary alliance with the heroes to fight back the forces of darkness so they can live to plunder another day

Handsome Hank? (actual character name btw) I always assumed he was more just an example of the corruption ruining LEGO city given how he's been a petty thief for so long, maybe you're onto something there though.

I'm worried about his partner though, that face has been seen before in every place important, he was in the space police when it was corrupted by Doc, he was both a pirate and an imperial soldier in the past, a cop and a criminal today, he even fell into a river one time, I don't know about you but I think he's more than Just A Normal Guy

I heard from an anonymous source that Dr Inferno is behind everything, Mayor Corn Cob is just the fall guy.

Wait, you’re serious? Do you mean the guy from 7279? I called him Best Crook when I was a kid… not that creative, I realize.

Look, the fact that he had a grey jacket while everyone else just had a plain jailor’s shirt told me that he was someone with whom to be reckoned. I mean, they even had to bring out the ATV for this guy!

I see what you mean about Just A Normal Guy… he was also in Police Station and Mobile Police Unit, implying he escaped them before the Great ATV Battle (Police Minifig Collection… good Greef Karga, the bad names had begun in 2011…).

Oh, when looking up 2011 Police sets, I rediscovered 3661: Bank & Money Transfer. 🤨
