Guys what if next year We got a ART Set of the Joker with a sound-brick of him beatboxing? 

Honestly the only other DC sets I think we could get/expect next year after January are A Superman (James Gunn movie) set, A D2C Batman set, and maybe a buildable figure of Battinson.

 

I feel like they could do a Batwing from TAS. It was teased kinda in the Gotham Skyline and it could be a decent $50 set (knowing LEGO, they would price it to $70 though) with Batman, Robin, and Two Face

Not only a great turtle-ism, but just straight up something the Joker would demand Lego produce.

Clearly now that we've covered (somewhat) '66, TDK trilogy, and the Burton films, the next logical move is a BvS subline. Get ready for the superman bathtub and D2C Grannie's peach tea set. (Though actually, I would love a Batfleck batmobile with him and Cavill Superman)

Honestly my guess is 2025 nets us a superman set or two (or nothing besides the mech), and then I'm gonna say a TDKR "the bat" and maybe a playscale comic Batcave if we're lucky.

I would personally choose to go all in on making more BTAS sets now that Lego has dipped their toes into that property, but who knows what next year is going to bring with The Batman Part II being delayed to 2026. Maybe some James Gunn Superman tie in sets, but at this point I'd settle for a single set and be more than happy with that.

Absolutely agree that they should actually do something with BTAS sets instead of this brief exploration. I can't get into the Nolan sets because it just keeps getting rehashed with small build changes, and therefore I don't want to keep buying the same thing. As for Tim Burton, it was good to see something new, but, with focus mainly on bat vehicles, it felt under-explored. The shadow box was the only thing that made me think "wow".

Personally, this would make me very happy. Yes definitely would be pricey and clearly another bat vehicle, but the addition of Robin and Two face would give me the hope of more change in which I would be willing to let the cost slide.

Apart from the BTAS batmobile, I have not bought a DC set in ages and it would be nice to make a change to that. I remember at the time of the sets that arised with Lego Batman 2 game, I wanted to try and get all the sets and, eventually, I managed to actually achieve a complete collection for TLBM sets. I miss those days of excitement and actually having the opportunity to collect sets that are unique from each other than constant repeats.

I finally figured it out: Absolute Jonkler invades toy forums to drive their members insane and turn them into crazed cult members. He is …turtle.

GUYS! What if the next joker set is based off this!

Still better than Leto’s would-be Jonkler.

Since we’ve had some character development since the last time this was brought up (4-6 months ago), let’s have a revised minifigure and sidebuild list for what a Tower of Fate should be.

I’ll go first: Dr Fate, Black Adam, Zatana, Man, MARA JADE, Venom Horse, Kyle Rayner (crying), Fridge, Rosarch, Leto Joker, Kite-man (Hell Yeah!!!) and Glup Shitto. 
 

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Walter White and Jessie Pinkman, John Wick,Michael Myers, Chuck Norris. Homelander,Omni-Man,Negan,Rick Grimes and an updated Black Cat with better details (IYKYK)

It's so weird how DC doesn't get any Dioramas, plenty to make from TDKT, Joker Interrogation, Bane vs Batman fight (The first fight or the 2nd), Batpod vs Joker, Batman Begins Subway Train fight with Ras Al Ghul, Superman VS Zodd from MOS

There is a brick rapidly approaching your location.

Oh man, an on topic question? Most likely not. None of the january sets, at any rate.

I have a bad feeling that the BTAS line was a one and done and never to be touched on again.

Ah, sorry, blacked out for a second. What's up? Tower of Fate figures? I think we should add Defenestrator and Dogwelder. We can leave out Bueno Excellente, Kyle's been through enough in this set.

Demolition Dummy, Luigi, Moon Knight, Absolute Batman, absolute Lex (with a special head mold that has a brick lodged in his cranium) and mayor Corn-cob

Ahhhhh, gotcha'. Well at least that makes me feel less silly for thinking I should just leave that message as a substitute for not being able to delete it 😅

[Renny The Spaceman]

Side builds would include a pizza delivery truck for Luigi,  Bruce Lee gets the alien Mothership three of him came from, a gravestone with a turtle statue on top. Corn-cob gets a remote control build and a little blacktron drone.

Preliminary images would show the Dummy coming with an exclusive print of his Legoland pop badge that'd be removed for some reason before release and there'd be a gwp around the time it launches of Clone 'o' Patra with a migraine

I would like to talk to you about the Inmate Initiative.

 Or perhaps you would like to know it by its true name. The Mara Jade Brigade.

As you're our resident Demo Dummy Docent, I have to ask what the quote means. Taking it at face value, it implies Demo Dummy does not play the slide whistle. However, it could be interpreted as Demo Dummy DOES play the slide whistle and simply wants to not be disturbed while doing so. This goes against his truthful nature, but fits other elements of his character. ("Other elements of his character" being that I think it's funnier if he plays the slide whistle.)

I don't think he gets enough credit for letting us do this despite how much harder it has to make moderating this place.

I think he very well may play the slide whistle, it seems his type of instrument due to the simple charm of it, but the Dummy has never been one for deception. Even when doing something unpopular like taking apart Lego city he wears his intentions on his nonexistent sleeve. So I do not believe is trying to hide his slide whistle habits but this doesn't mean he doesn't play the instrument, the fact he brings it up says to me it's something on his mind. As someone on the spectrum it sounds to me like the sorta literalism a lot of autistic people sometimes do when they have gotten into trouble with something before. My theory is the Demolition Dummy plays the slide whistle, at somepoint in his previous home got in trouble for disturbing people with it and thus knows that it's common courtesy to not practice instruments when other people can hear it so from here the Dummy has either rented out a studio where he goes to play or has made the choice to soundproof any room he lives in as to not bother others but now feels the need to announce that if someone else does it he shouldn't be blamed.

I'm here all week, I can answer any follow up questions or unrelated Dummy queries .

Exactly, for all the jokes about turtle he's really the person who has allowed the asylum to become what it is by having a good sense of humour.

And in the spirit of that I'm going to potentially go too far here.

Redhoodpug is a beloved member of the forum and famously, while he has come around to our sense of humour, is annoyed by the reuse of phrases like jonkler. That's fair, it's repetitive humour and not for everyone, but what if it's more than that, what if there's something deeply, spiritually wrong about the phrase Jonkler that only a canine's heightened senses can pick up. 

Consider, the Riddler is the Fiddler, Bane is Bone and Nightwing is Dick.

There is a theme here

So, bear with me, what if the Joker's true name is something else, what if his true name is...

 

The Jerker. 

Of course that then means the true name of Tom King's 6/10 classic is:

 

The war of Jerks and Fiddles

I cannot even begin to imagine what would’ve happened if someone tried this stunt in a different subforum, say Star Wars. “You are banned, and you are banned, and YOU are banned!!”

[BrickBob Studpants]

One of the Wednesday sets includes a new moulded gargoyle piece. I hope it shows up in future Batman sets to replace the puny brick-built ones we‘ve been getting for years
