I very much became interested in Lego and DC upon playing the first Lego Batman game, and I believe they finished releasing the sets before the game came out 😅😮💨 In an ideal world, would have loved for the sets to have come out after the game - and maybe, in my opinion, have sets somewhat inspired from each level of the game so all the villains of the first game were actualised *cough cough* Clayface, Manbat, Mad Hatter, Killer Moth...

Crazy that the original Batman line got two (only vehicle that actually got repeated btw), but we couldn’t get one in 12 years when half of the sets are repeats of other Bat-vehicles. Yeah I share the same sentiment. I do admittedly adore the duck boat from TLBM because it felt way more fleshed out, but as for other two... yeah, maybe not worth the repeat.

(Erm, axcutally, “Turtle’s” in that sentence is an adjective, not a noun. A prepositional phrase can only be used in relation to a noun, at best an adjectival or adverbial phrase. Also, you can only add an appositive to another noun. Thus, the correct way to phrase it would be something such as, “…at the same time of the banishment of Turtle, a confirmed conspirator.” Sorry for English class today. 🤓) (Yes, I am very aware my grammar is going to be placed under high scrutiny. 😅 On it, bring.) In all honesty, I was initially hurt you would suspect me. However, given this conspiracy has roots in the very founding of Rome, I know everyone is under suspicion.

I doubt it, it's highly unlikely any LEGO employee would go to Eurobricks for set ideas and if they were going to they had like 4 years before we all snapped to do so, the only way fans would influence LEGO is if it started rippling out onto more general places like YouTube and social media as fans for LEGO Clones or Lord of the rings did for ages before they came back. It was simply never up to us, there are forces beyond us we can never change, A is A, Luthor is Luthor and LEGO needs a relevant movie to even consider making anything now

Right, shame to hear watto's service was another lie from my brother Also on the topic of the life sized Dummy, in LEGO lore the minifigure is lifesized, though a human sized Dummy would be a fun project I simply don't have the funds for it right now (the dummy is very understanding) I do have some 3D printer files for a large dummy from someone online. I wonder if I could upscale it for that, if I could though I don't have a printer so that's still a long term thing

Probably as it was the last gasp of how in 2010s LEGO was super close with WB, now their shows don't go on Cartoon Network, TT doesn't make their games (the focus there is now on fortnite which is majority owned by the mouse) most of their crappy animated specials are for disney plus now. Like for years there most of their crappy animations were DC direct to DVD stuff, LEGO Batman Games were treated as TT's biggest series for a while there and ofc he was a lead in their theatrical film franchise but because DC didn't have an uberpopulist film franchise that slowly consumed and permanently changed the film industry while simultaneously changing the entire companies output to become focused on brand synergy with the live-action movies at the time all this LEGO DC stuff needed to work off the comics .

TLG have made more legends inspired sets post the legendsification of legends than they have sets based on comic or book characters. Rae Sloane and Vi Morado are the only 2 that come to mind compared to several legends inspired sets; namely The Azure Angel, Darth Revan, the sandspeeder, the battle pack with the shadow guards and so on. Of course this doesn't actually help Mara Jade as she is both a book character and a legends character. But generally I think TLG are more likely to made characters with on-screen appearances than book and comic characters and that that is a greater factor than Legends continuity V Canon continuity.

I didn't know we founded Rome! But if you notice, all those examples except for the sandspeeder (which in itself was a super weird set with a really odd release schedule, with IIRC the first we'd heard about it being it's release in store, it for some reason containing the helmet Rey wore in TFA, and in itself having the only legends appearance being a shoutout in the tabletop roleplaying game, since it's creation was in an unproduced toyline lucasfilm rejected even for legends.) released before the TFA sets and the real kickoff of the disney era.
