Do you guys think we will get The Batman Part 2 sets? I hope so since the first movie got a lot of lego love

When the time comes for us to get sets for the The Batman sequel, and the Batman minifigure sucks, I will change my profile picture once again, this time to the worst Joker minifigure of this forum's choice.

The mighty micros one maybe?

Personally, I’d go with steamroller Joker. I don’t like the torso and the fedora just doesn’t look good without the hair underneath.

It's gonna be my villain origin story if the second Battinson minifigure is just as bad as the first one—and I truly hate it.

It won't get any better I'm afraid, A new cowl and arm printing with the rubber cape would be so cool, I hope we get a UCS Batmobile with him and arm printing

The Lego Batman Movie Joker was horrible because of that face, wtf is with the sharp teeth, everything else was good., If Barry Keoghan returns as Joker in The Batman 2 we could get a minifigure of him.

They never made a minifgure for Jared Leto Joker. 

Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League Joker is far worse, Leto IMO redeemed himself a small bit in ZSJL

The most surprising thing in that image for me is that they adapted Carrie Kelly? Did the CW try to do a Dark Knight Returns at some point?

The CW isn't even allowed to use a fully suited up Batman unless it's a faceless stunt double like in their Batwoman show, or casting an actor to play Bruce Wayne but with the one condition that we never see him in the Batsuit like in Titans.

This version of Carrie Kelly is from the CW's abysmal Gotham Knights show. And before you ask, no, it has nothing to do with the video game of the same name. Though oddly enough, they both had a similar premise with Batman dying and his allies carrying on his legacy along with the Court of Owls being the main villains. But unlike the game, the main character of the CW show is an original character named Turner Hayes who isn't ANY of the preexisting Robins from the comics and is Bruce's adopted son. He's framed for Wayne's murder along with some D-list Batman characters, with Carrie being the most well known character of the group (which isn't saying much considering she's the Robin with only one recognizable story to her name compared to the others). Up until his death she was Batman's sidekick in the show with Bruce calling her his "little Robin", which just sounds insanely creepy considering the Robin name started with Dick Grayson choosing it because it's what his mother would affectionately refer to him as. But since Dick clearly doesn't exist in this continuity, someone needs to call Kendrick.

And to put a bow on the whole thing, this show aired last year and was subsequently cancelled after one season with 12 episodes, ending on a cliffhanger that will never be resolved or will make anyone care about it enough to want it resolved.

I imagine they will do a semi repackage of the batmobile for the part 2 sets, unless it genuinely does have a different design. I hope the rumors of clayface and Mr freeze are true

I am 100% confident we will get The Batman Part 2 sets, unless the film ends up being rated R or something.

AGREED. Leto's still terrible, but that scene in ZSJL is a great elseworlds scene, and he doesn't actively harm it like he does most of his scenes in that franchise.

So they're all teenagers, right? It's one of those Riverdale type shows, just with a Batman skin?

And yeah, that sounds gross. Unfortunate way to put Carrie into live-action.

CW stay taking Ls 

On the topic of Batman cowls, I don't really like the newest version, but I echo a previous comment about a new cowl being compatible with normal eyes. Only problem is that the forehead would be way too big if they did that. I can't imagine the eyes being any lower on the current cowls.

Give the man a prize. You could switch out the title with Riverdale and no one would think twice.

And speaking of abrupt cancellations, it looks like we lost him boys.

@legoturtle is GONE?!

A new age has dawned upon us. The fight for the leadership of the Aslume has begun. The inmates will fight viciously—but only one of them can become the warden.

But I appeal to you, my fellow inmates—it's time to abandon the rule of one. We should run the Aslume like brothers, not enemies. Democracy must become the new norm, or we shall all perish under the rule of those who would enslave us.

"Abrupt" is a stretch...

"Delayed" is more like it. 

Turtle was a real one though, he died as he lived, roaming the Asylum.

Both versions of Jorbius suck, but I still don‘t know if Forehead-Damage or Ketchup-Crow would make for the worse minifig  Neither of them would have much competition  My least favourite official Jonkler minifig is still last year‘s weird interpretation of Nicholson‘s version, but even that one isn’t bad enough to deserve being named in the same breath as Jorbius.

Exactly,a warden exists to control us, if we truly want to stay as we are we must work together. The aslume is all of us and we are all one

I assume it was the implications of Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. But in either case, he was a troll, he wasn't gonna be around forever. He will be missed though.

Now we'll never see his colorful Shadow Box.

Speaking of democracy, here are all the joker suggestions, we should set up a poll to decide

The slicked back hair piece has been recoloured in Light Green in the Nightmare Before Christmas Ideas set, would be perfect for New 52 Face Cut Off or Leto Joker

The year is 2025. DC was just revived with the critically acclaimed “Superman” film. It’s such a hit, merchandise is lining the shelves everywhere. Everywhere, except for LEGO. The only DC set released is “DCEU: Suicide Squad: Ben Affleck’s Bruce Wayne disguised as Batman with his Batmobile versus Jared Leto’s The Joker and his Car: the Chase.” For $80 and 502 pieces, this set includes only Batfleck and Leto’s Joker, the latter being the only new minifigure. Harley Quinn is missing, and the minifigure from Apocalypseburg goes up even more in price on the aftermarket. People complain, but no one can resist getting this HUNKA HUNKA! 
 

Obviously, I would love sets based on Superman, and then more comic sets, but I would actually not be opposed to getting a minifigure of Leto’s Joker.

Nothing tops 'Damaged' joker for worst Joker. And I mean nothing as in: nada, zip, zilch, zero, negative, negatory, no, etc...

Was about to make a similar joke but you worded it funnier than I possibly could!

Do we know what got him banned? I'm not even surprised it happened, I'm just curious about what specific thing did it.

Curious about that myself.

He got temporarily suspended—which, from experience, usually ends with a talk with a moderator.

What did he say to them that he got banned? That's the fun part. One that we'll probably never hear in full detail.

(Unless, @Clone OPatra—perhaps you know what has happened behind the veil?)

He got suspended for a post that was blatantly racist, sexist, and homophobic all at once. He must have insulted the moderators in private messages after being suspended. That could result in the suspension escalating to an outright ban.
