You all are forgetting Oppenheimer and Barbie can combine to form Barbenheimer. Not only will the world succumb to atomic fallout, but it will be pink snow coming down! If you are lucky enough to grab a plastic fallout suit beforehand, the GPS satellites (which are US controlled, btw) will beam down The Barbie song to your brain directly until you tear off your suit to die a quick, merciful death. If you manage to survive that, the Iron Giant will be taking care of any stragglers.

Eh, Harry Hill solos

Brick Reporter isn't a reliable source. He's a clickbaiter that takes news from other accounts and passes it off as his own while filling any gaps with BS. Jedi Bricks is another one that's just as bad.

True true, we shouldn't brush over a certain someone's potential connection to Brickheadz Joker, what are the odds that (given our archenemy is BJ) we have a secret sith AND someone who likes Brickheadz in the forum at the same time? More than one person be fond of a toyline that lasted almost a decade? Unlikely, I need to hear a better defence from him than a deflection he immediately undercut

Wait me? And deflecting? That's absurd! Hardly even bares need of mention. My passion is no secret. There is only Passion.

I mean he doesn't, he's pretty routinely outwitted by children, I think most reality warper or trickster characters could easily beat him.

Anyways it's not really fun doing this with American characters, your media is too generalised and global, it has no real national identity on it's own because it's spread to broadly over the planet, if someone thinks America will they think any of the characters you listed? No, definitely not in the same way Mr Bean or Doctor Who is British it kinda winds up feeling kinda like you might as well say any character, kinda underwhelming.

Like you'd have to zoom in onto classic Americana stuff to really get the same vibe as British, or Canadian, or whatever characters as a whole have.

Like no-one cares if Spider-Man or whoever is played by a Brit because American media is so commercialised in every corner of the globe that it's more often seen as an absence of any real national identity, it's the norm, but if you had an American doing a British accent as Doctor who, or Paddington it'd be widely reviled

Spider-man, Superman, Optimus Prime, etc are all heavily connected with America. (Obviously Captain America too, but that one's too obvious to even explain) Superman's whole thing is Truth, Justice, and the American way! It doesn't matter so much what the nationality of the person playing the character is, the characters are American icons. We aren't an old enough country to have mythology in the greek sense, but arguably superheroes are an American mythology.

He even got the set number wrong  

Idk about anyone else here but I was like 50/50 on if he was legit initially, but what honestly confirmed to me that he was full of baloney was that he said LEGO was Making Harry Potter Mechs next year..

I know we clown on LEGO for doing dumb ideas, but to give them some credit, they aren't THAT dumb.

Guys! Today I watch LIVE-ACTION movie Twilight (Apple TV)

now I find out we are getting Robert Paddington house as a BIG lego set for adults... ouuhh boy...

I hope every1 here understand potential as DC subtheme (Edward=Bruce Wayne)

Should be full theme (polybags, minifigure scale, ART and so on) BUT TLG hates DC so... :/

We must collect money to buy this set... then Lego makes more... why no baseball set?

Lego thinks this image is NOT COOL?

Who are you referring to?

Very excited about this rumour. If this arkham is closer to the 2012 one than the 2017 I am immediately sold. I am expecting a TON of barely printed figures and then one super duper detailed nightwing. Bound to happen. The 2012 set is perfect and one of my favorite sets ever but if they pull this off I will be happily buying it.

Instead of Edward, we should focus on Jacob—if I'm correct, this will be our first child groomer minifigure!

(Still insane to this day that such a popular movie series has a relationship between an infant and a grown-up man.)

Oh my, I was clearly wrong. There's whole line of certified LEGO groomers!

Still, I'm pretty sure none of them are as extreme as a grown adult connecting himself romantically for life with an infant.

Every character invented by Tolkien? How about the Doctor?  Even if you ignore the latter two and only consider characters that are British in-universe (rather than invented by Brits), there‘s a lot the UK contributes to pop culture!

Well I mean, arguably, the most notable set of characters we created are the Americans.
Very interesting plot developments recently. Though I’m not of a fan of the recent undoing of character development.

I fear the writers have lost the plot.

Is there a possibility of it being from the Arkham games, its probably the most iconic version people think of with Arkham. Lego has been using nostalgia in DC a lot recently - burton, 66, animated series so maybe they want to capture the nostalgia for the first game?
They have done arkham knight batsuit before so its possible and the first game is not 18+ only 16.
I hope its not BTAS as we never really see the outside other than a silhouette on a hill and dont think it would look dark and gothic enough

The games are rated mature, so there’s no way it’ll be based on those. There’s nothing to the BtAS design and it doesn’t look the same across any two comics, so most likely the designers will just come up with their own design like they always do when they release an Arkham Asylum set. The figures will probably be the thing that decides if it’s “comic” or “BtAS” based.

To be fair, I believe BTAS Arkham could make a nice build of acceptable dimensions. It may not be dark and gothic, but it may have nice interiors...

First of all, Doctor Who isn't partially owned by disney they only have distribution rights, they don't own it.

But doesn't that make my point for me? Being partially owned by an evil multinational corporation makes you american? Like there's no shared sense of identity here as these characters are pushed everywhere, america controls the media landscape and when america is everywhere it doesn't feel american. 

Also tf are the toy story toys meant to do? They don't even really abide by cartoon logic like the Looney tunes

We aren't an old enough country to have mythology in the greek sense, but arguably superheroes are an American mythology.

I think these 3 examples, plus the Iron-giant from Murdoch are better shouts than the rest but still it's not the same, you know? I think a big part of it is probably how pretty much every British thing we mentioned were publicly funded and available in every household with a TV, it's why the "superheroes are modern mythology" thing kinda makes me cringe I don't really think things can be mythology when their owned by a corporation. when every decision they make comes from focus testing and such. That said I don't think any of the British things I mentioned (bar the works of Tolkien) are "Mythology" but there's a sense of national identity to them there isn't with most american ones listed.

You know, if you give a list of "Banana Man, Mr Bean, Worzell Gummage" it's funny as these are dumb hyper specific characters, if people start going "deadpool, Superman, Ben 10" it kind feels like people are taking a dumb gag argument to seriously and genuinely trying to powerscale.

Also it just feels a little too reddit for my blood

But also the nationality point is kinda key here, anyone can put on the accent and be an American character, it's sacrilege for any other cultural character I think this comes in part from how some of what's considered "American" really isn't in any key way

Given past scenarios I don't doubt if it's comic based there'll be plenty of Arkham game references

Lmao, good point, we're not far behind though, if Labour keeps on doing nothing we might end up in the same boat with Farage as our PM. He did far too well in our last election for us to be wagging our finger at the Americans.

Though TBF as horrible as Farage is he's like 0.7 less comically evil than Trump, last I checked he wasn't on TV talking about how his building was now the tallest one in New York again AS 9/11 was happening. Still very dumb and very evil, but slightly less cartoonish in it maybe

We made James Corden though so it evens out

Also can't ignore Tolkien there, his intent was middle earth was our earth back in the day, all his Middle Earth works are supposed to be translations of books Bilbo, Frodo, Sam and Sam's daughter wrote. The original idea was that places like the Shire were around in England back in the day but lost to time (though the Hobbit book clarifies Hobbits are still around if you look hard enough) so we very much get that one

Doesn't matter though as Iceland clears every nation on earth since they have Sportacus
