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

[CloneCommando99]

You know. I’m starting to think it’s a good thing that Snyder never tackled GL. Especially after seeing what he did with Rebel Moon.

 

What’s the latest intel on Blacktron’s advance?

Ha-How-How dare you.

You seem to have confused us with Blacktron II.

No clue. Communications have been disrupted.

Shazam! was very different from the rest of the DCEU - it was actually very fun to watch. IMHO, it had a perfect balance of funny and dark moments. In some ways, it's better than the New 52 comic it was loosely based on - while sadly not introducing Black Adam and some other characters, it had more focus on the cast and therefore turned out to be a better story overall. Not that introducing so many characters at the same time is a bad thing either... I didn't love the second part, but I still think it's overhated, just like The Flash

Yeah the second one wasn't as good, but it was still a fun ride.

The flash, though... even aside with the rest of the problems, I just can't get past the fact that they pumped this thing out pretending Ezra Miller's Geneva Convention any% speedrun didn't exist. They've cancelled projects and removed actors for saying stuff they don't like, but Flash commits, like, every crime, a number of them actively on video, and they barely acknowledge it.

Disney owning DC would be a nightmare...

Would be worse somehow, however WB is not that great either but far from Disney's failure

MCU did good with it's connected stories however after Endgame it's not the same

We can just expect to get once a year hits like No Way Home,GOTG 3 and Deadpool and Wolverine, If Superman does well then DC might have a better future than Marvel, The Batman Universe is very good too and that will help WB a lot

I agree with you on this moment. Miller's crimes deserved to be acknowledged by the studio indeed. But I personally don't think the movie is as bad as they say. I didn't even notice the bad CGI everyone complained about. I liked the story, but the whole "The Flash saves his mom, and Batman becomes completely different" idea is weird to me. A deleted scene suggested that his time travels even influenced the Beatles (?!), which implies that Barry was born in the 1950s (!?!!). But the movie was fun to watch, and Keaton's Batman was cool. Not the 'absolute worst DCEU movie ever' at all, IMHO - first Suicide squad was much worse, with the whole idea of the task force X being proposed to counter an potential 'evil superman' instead of what they did in comics being stupid

They're spreading throughout the Outer Rim at an alarming pace.

At this rate, they will reach Nar Eurbrikka within weeks.

Interesting.

Maybe I need to take a squad of lanterns to face them head on at Cato Redditaria?

 

Anyone have any individuals in mind for the mission?

[Agent Kallus]

The power of the Blscktron icons set cannot rival the unmatchable power of a fully operational Asylum. Like the one that's supposedly coming next year. 

Do we think they'll try and make it a modular?

Purely speculation but I could see 26 figures, let's say 6 generic inmates in prison garb, 6 staff ( say 3 guards, Harleen, Warden Strange and Aaron Cash), 10 super Villains in thier costumes ( say Mister Freeze, Joker, Ivy, Scarecrow, Mad Hatter, Killer Croc, Hush, Pyg, Ventriloquist and Azrael), and 4 Batman Fam members ( let's say Batman, Red Robin, Signal and Black Bat.)

Of course!

think it’ll be next year’s superhero modular.

I would love it if they acknowledge r/BatmanArkham by including a Red Robin cowl.

 

Hey guys this might be why we’re getting the superman mech.

Fingers crossed for GL and Grodd next.

That's uh... Interesting... I wonder why Grodd felt the need to slap the Flash's logo all over his mech. Is he stupid? ( no he's not, he's hyper intelligent, at least supposedly).

I do think it could work as a modular, but similar to the X-Mansion it's never right against by the road. I wonder if it'll get a side build like the sentinel in the X-Mansion or the Leviathan in a the Avengers tower. The last two Arkhams had a prisoner transport vehicle and a police car respectively. But I could see them going for a batvehicle or a Poison Ivy plant monster instead or even a brick built Clayface.

If as @Max_Lego was hoping for it's BtAS based then it'd be cool to get some BtAS specific characters like Babydoll and Roxie Rocket.

So if Absolute Man can look like Michael Keaton, Christian Bale, and Adam West, are we sure he isn’t a Skrull? Are we still sure Kallus isn’t the true Brickheadz mastermind? Does Darth Brickbob wear all black? What will ever become of Black Knight in the MCU? Is there truly one, and will ever only be one, Blade? Am I stuck in the 1800s? Were all the LEGO City policemen secretly agents of Blacktron? Do I get Shield as Allies because ol’ Nick loves his black leather? Don’t I also get Knull? Can’t I just Venomize all y’all and you’ll have to join my side automatically because of these VERY arbitrary rules? Why don’t I just call on the Blacktron for help? Am I stupid?

 

 

 

Oh, that’s right, my communications system has been disrupted. I think I need a Mystery Mouseketool.

Well, the thread has finally done it, I alone had the information of the figures that are going to be included in the ucs Arkham Asylum, including a remake of Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, but the once prosperous DC thread has fallen into disarray. Henceforth, nobody is worthy of my information, and I shall be off to where I am needed most, the Lego friends fourm, to one day bring back Lego DC super hero girls!

No matter how many people you venomise though by LEGO rules you can NEVER make a black suit Spidey, Spiderham, Green Goblin or Doc Ock are fair game but under no circumstances can you make Symbiote Spidey.

Little bit of Renny lore, when I was a little kid I was Obsessed with Bob the Builder a fact that only changed when I had a dream of him going on a school shooting in my primary school which made me develop a Bobphobia until I grew up. Everyone I know still brings this up

Also Wenlock and Mandeville's Rainbow powers are kinda OP, don't think they'll go down easily

I feel like this is a bit optimistic. I'd see (and even I'm being optimistic):

6 villains in generic garb (Joker, Riddler, Bane, Mr. Freeze, Catwoman, Scarecrow), 4 costumed villains (Hush, Killer Croc, Deathstroke, Poison Ivy),  2 guards, Hugo Strange, Harleen Quinzel, Aaron Cash, Batman, Nightwing, Damian, and Barbara.

I'd say this can't be it but we had marvel mechs directly based on the marvel mech series. I think you're right on the money- now we just need our "Grodd cosplays as Flash" mech.

This is correct, but remember there are venoms of all colors. If we snuck Christmas from The Last Dance into your ranks, we could reclaim some of the Batmen. (I'll let you in on a secret- Mara is carrying Anti-Venom and that's why she's on our side despite wearing mostly blacktron colors. The scarf was a misdirect.)

Provided that it is not something weird like a shadowbox or art-piece, a modular Arkham is a pretty safe bet. 
As for Minifigs, we are probably looking at 8-12, not 26!
Safe bets include: Batman, a Bat-Fam member (Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, Batwoman (provided her cowl mould is still around), Red Hood, etc), Joker (inmate), Harley (inmate), Mr. Freeze (inmate; because of the new helmet), Riddler (inmate; easy to make), Scarecrow (inmate; easy to make), Poison Ivy (inmate; easy to make), Hugo Strange, 1-2 guards (or one guard and Aaron Cash in the same uniform), and maybe a deeper-cut character like Hush, Azreal, Cassandra Cain, or Spoiler; Deathstroke, Black Mask, or Deadshot would be great (and would reference the Aslume games), but they feel less likely to me. Pyg and Zsasz are out due to their gruesome nature, and while Croc or Bane as Minifigs could work, I think that LEGO sees them as Bigfig characters (which are less likely to appear, especially since D2C sets rarely have new moulds).

Probably not, since LEGO’s mech line started long before this show debuted, but it may end up being a source of inspiration for DC mechs going forward (as well as justification for why someone like Wonder Woman needs a mech - Is she stupid?). 
As an aside, of all the heroes who could appear in the show, why is the one for whom a mech makes the most sense (Cyborg) not included?!
