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

[thephantasm]

Well my focus wasn't really on why this theme died which has been discussed... extensively, its why i dont really miss or care for lego's previous versions of comic sets, besides the figures

 

And many figs i just passed on because of how expensive they were to order individually because of the set prices

It seems like vehicles sell better than players and hero vehicles sell better than villain vehicles. Which is why we continue to get cars for Spider-Man despite him being 1) broke and 2) in NYC.

How can you be Spider-Man and own any sort of vehicle?!

...This also applies to the first Spider-Verse movie, where he had an entire Spider-Cave under his house!! I mean, where did he get the money to construct it?!

Is he goddamn Batman, is he rich or is he stupid?!

Peter had poor Aunt May breaking her back digging him a cool man cave.

In Spider-Verse, that Peter did have tons of Spidey merch and albums and such. I’m not sure how he managed the financing (these payments for Spider-Man are going to Peter Parker. Eh, they’re probably roommates), but he seemed to have capitalized on his apparent popularity. I mean, even Kingpin purchased Spider-Man masks. 
 

Excited for the potential Superman sets. Gotta have

Good, thanks for clarifying! Still weird though... Even Bruce Wayne didn't capitalise the Batman merch in B:TAS (then again, maybe because he's SUPER RICH!!! KIND OF MAKES IT BETTER!..)

That reminds me, I can't remember which language but someone told me one of the dubs of Man of Steel is done on a language where their word for hope DOES start with an S, so the entire exchange about it meaning hope was kinda stupid

If I am correct, the Italian word for 'hope' is 'speranza', which starts with an S.

They should have dubbed Lois's response as "yeah, it does here too, idiot", and then replace however much footage/time was left in that scene with a frame of superman sitting there without moving or speaking.

They couldn’t make the Italian dub be the best version of that movie.

Cowards, there should be a British dub where everyone has a Birmingham accent 

Yet weirdly that version of the film only is released in Slough

Was Lois’s response not changed to something like “Well, here it’s just a letter”?

I don't believe so but I heard it second hand so could always be wrong

Failed, I have. Into exile, I must go. 
 

Plot twist: Batman merch is actually a ploy by his enemies in order to decrease the fear surrounding him and make him into a friendlier, and thus less threatening presence.

I did the american dub for "The Transformers - The headmasters". I was the one who came up with the line "Fortress Maximus I'm gonna kill you and you're gonna die I'm gonna kill you you're gonna die now" said in a somewhat monotone yet fast voice, as well as the realization that japan was actually trying to say "enlarge" whenever they say the japanese translation of  "transform", because c'mon, why would they try to say "transform" in Transformers?

I like Man of Steel, but I can't deny it wouldn't have been improved by a post credits scene where it's revealed that the family Superman snapped Zod's neck to save were actually Luigi (of Luigi's pizza fame)'s family. Leading to the following scene:

Luigi the Pizza Guy *frantically doing stereotypical italian hand gestures*: My machinations have come to fruition, like-a a delicious pizza-pie. The Man of Steel has been forced to kill his own species. The dramatic mental toll this-a will take on him is almost as devastating as when someone is forced to watch pineapple be put on pizza.

*From the shadows, a being BAMFS into the room. We see only the red glow of their eyes.*

Luigi draws his pizza cutter, the blade gleaming in the dark room: Who-a goes there? Reveal yourself, or I'll-a cut you into eight slices.

The being: Not sure how I got to this universe. Something to do with bats and men, I think.

Luigi: You're-a an enemy of the batman?

The being: Of a bat-man, in a way.

Luigi: Well, then it's-a about time for us to pay him a visit.

The being: No.... *the shadowy figure grins, bearing gleaming, sharp teeth, as he steps from the shadows*

I feel like this would work in his favor overall. The general civilians, especially children, who see/buy the merch will think of batman in a more positive way, which helps him in situations like keeping kids he's rescuing calm, but if criminals are still getting their spines fractured every night that fear will still spread.

B:TAS Batman is actually one of the least fear-inspiring versions of the character. While TNBA Batman is more lore-accurate, the B:TAS version resembles Superman even more than Supes himself in S:TAS, which I always found weird. 

"Harvey! Let me help you!"  The real Batman would've said something like 

In my opinion, Batman should never be such a nice guy

As the Italian dub would say, Impossibile!

We’re just now making a comeback, and you want to kick us back down again? 

Nevertheless, oh do, pray, tell?

I found it whilst I was raiding the archives of the ministry of silly walks.

A forbidden incantation of the dark arts used by an ancient order of knights.

These knights were feared by even King Arthur himself and the rest of the round table.

 

I have only one thing to say. To you who worship the sinister forces of blacktron.

That's nothing! In support of Blacktron, I went to the Vatican, and pleaded my case to the Pope. He gave me the Spanish Inquisition and the Monster of Uuuggg to use against your silly Knights of Ni.
