No it doesn't. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it deserves any slander.

It's an incredible movie—loved by fans, casual moviegoers, and critics alike.

It’s an awful movie with terrible acting and borderline schizophrenic writing that can’t decide who the characters are or even what the plot is supposed to be. The last third of the runtime is spent hammering its convoluted message into the audience’s skulls with all the subtely of a jackhammer in what is essentially an entirely new (and just as awful) movie. And I could forgive most of that if it weren’t so damn boring. I can’t think of a single decision this film made that wasn’t just poorly copying some better film. I really look forward to the day when everyone takes off their “new thing” blinders and finally turns on this waste of three hours.

As a side note, I found the penguin show to be a bit overrated. It's not bad but people comparing it to the sopranos is a bit silly. I didn't like how half of the episodes were just the penguin getting captured and then escaping due to his captors being completely incompetent. The end with him killing Victor felt forced for some shock value, what is the point of oz killing victor because he's too attached? He clearly doesn't actually care for Victor, his logic just doesn't make much sense.

First off, dude, spoilers. Secondly, I gotta disagree with you here. Yeah, people comparing the show to the Sopranos were insane. The Sopranos is one of the best shows ever made. Penguin is just a very good, maybe even a great show. But it is no Sopranos. And yeah, one of things holding it down was how incompetently his enemies were written at times. But the ending  wasn’t shock value. It was the whole point of the show. Oz is a horrible, selfish, psychopath who uses everyone and feels no emotions for anyone. I’m not gonna spoil the show anymore than has already been done, but there’s plenty of examples of him using people to get what he wants, even his own mother in his own sick and twisted way.

The clue is in the word teaser.

No it shouldn't. It's named "teaser"—it teases the movie. 

Fair enough.

54 minutes ago, THELEGOBATMAN said:

I mean, seriously. Is it actually your first teaser trailer?

Nope - I remember the TLBM teaser from 2016, which didn't tell anything about the plot either. I was too excited for a Lego! Batman! Movie! back then to care about it. I know people are excited about a new Superman movie, and I wish I was too but no.

Where are you pulling your ridiculous assumptions out of? Atmosphere is one of the reasons, sure, but you have to have been living under a rock if you think that’s the only one.

The only valid one, perhaps. I don't see what to praise in this movie sans the atmosphere. Colin Farrell's Penguin had a small role and couldn't save the movie. But his TV show turned out to be quite decent, as far as I've heard - because of the lack of Battinson among other reasons

Agreed. Sopranos is a classic

[CloneCommando99]

So let me get this straight.

Superman can’t get a single set based off of his upcoming movie. But One-Piece of all things somehow is able to get 5 different sets.

 

We live in the strangest timeline.

One Piece is peak though. I'm so excited for those sets.

Superman not getting any sets is beyond ridiculous, but I don't see how One Piece is supposed to affect it in the slightest. By that logic any new theme or set would be weird to get.

I’m not saying it directly affects Superman getting sets. I’m just saying it’s strange that they’re taking the risk to make a brand new theme based off anime, albeit a very popular one at that, which currently is an untested department for Lego. But are not making Superman sets, even though the MoS sets must have sold well back in 2013 since we later got BvS and JL sets.

[THELEGOBATMAN]

So, uh... some news on the Batcave...

The set has 909 pieces (with a 100€ price) and it's releasing on August 1st.

The big thing though? Apparently it's based on Schumacher's Batman movies—one leaker has posted the above information with the Batman & Robin Batcave in the background, and another is saying that this image is very important to this particular set.

[Felkin]

Forgive me for clutching at straws here, but is there any chance that "No Superman set(s) in summer" only covers the June release window, and we might get something in August? If we're still getting info on the August Batcave, is it too much to hope that a Superman set might still be possible?

Jesus Christ, they can't be that stupid. How badly did that comic based Batman wave sell in 2019 that they're this adverse to doing it again.

The MCU is not about nostalgia. But, yes, it's about making MONEY! 

It has been for the past few years tbf, every other film has characters from pre-disney films show up to get the audience to care.

I was really excited for the Superman trailer and I'ved loved Gunn's work on Guardians of the Galaxy, Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, and Creature Commandos.  However, I'm sad to say I was underwhelmed with the trailer and I think this could be a rare mistep.  The cinematography looks quite weird to me with low angles and and sort of fisheye lenses. 

I'm also a bit cautious about having Superman's first solo film in a "brand-new" cinematic universe feature so many characters not from the Superman mythos, etc Green Lantern, Metamorpho, Hawkgirl, Mr Terrific, and some random kaiju.  I think the focus should have been on Superman only as a superhero and I think that Gunn is using a team dynamic as a crutch since he has a proven track record for team projects.  Also, I would have preferred some B-list Superman rogues to be pit against for some action sequences, for example Livewire or Toyman, rather than some random kaiju or laser beam.

Further, I'm still confused since although Gunn's comments say conflicted things, Creature Commandos firmly follows on from previous DECU canon with ARGUS, Waller, Flag, and Weasel so not quite sure where the DCU reboot really stands - which is making me trust the validity of his announcements less each time.

To get back on subject with LEGO, I think it's a shame that sets are not being produced for this film because it needs WB's full confidence to reboot the DC cinematic universe.   Also, I would have forgiven all the extra superheroes if they produced minifigures for them  

If the new Batcave is indeed based on Schumacher films I'll be disappointed.  Why is LEGO DC targetting at 4-year olds and 40-year olds and no-one in-between?

[THELEGOBATMAN]

I am glad we're getting Schumacher-based sets instead of more Burton and Nolan ones, but... I really expected it to just be based on the comicbooks. 

They're leaning too heavily into movie-based sets, just as they are doing with LEGO Marvel. It's either movie sets, or generic mechs and cars. Nothing in between.

How I miss the early days of the Super Heroes theme.

[G_Brickley]

Oh no…

I just realised that Arkham is featured pretty prominently in both Schumacher films…

No, nooooo this can’t be!

This really could be the ultimate Monkey’s paw of we get our first Robin in quite some years time, but it’s the Chris O’Donnell version

(SPOILERS) Yes but what was the reason he killed victor? He clearly proved himself useful. They should've had a situation where victor got captured and oz decided to sacrifice him for his own personal gain, something along those lines, rather than just killing out of the blue. All that said it is still a pretty good show, especially compared to other shows based off comics.

For those who might not be aware, we have a spoiler feature on EB under the eye on the task bar when you make a post. It looks like this example:

Spoiler

Darth Vader is Luke's father and Leia is Luke's sister.

Please use it this nifty feature, as the rest of us would REALLY appreciate it!

[wesker]

Watching the Superman trailer makes it even more disappointing that there are no sets coming next year. I can only hope that both the film and the mech set are successful enough for Lego to give Superman another chance down the line.

I'm probably one of the few that doesn't have a problem getting Schumacher sets either. They're the only Batman films that haven't been covered yet so I'm glad they're not being ignored even if they are the weakest part of the franchise. Hopefully they are able to cover most of the main characters from the two films. It will also be interesting to see if its only the Batcave that's Schumacher themed or if Arkham Asylum will be as well.

Honestly I was getting bored of the comic based sets by the time the 2019 wave came around. The builds were forgettable and none of the minifigures were bringing anything new to the table. Branching out to other media with the 60s TV series, Burton films, Dark Knight Trilogy and Animated Series is really what's maintained my interest in the theme.

[THELEGOBATMAN]

You know what's funny? Schumacher's Batman movies, which are widely regarded as some of the worst DC movies ever, are apparently getting a set...

...but a brand-new Superman movie doesn't. Makes it even more ridiculous, because apparently LEGO believes that something like a Schumacher Batcave will seel well, while a Superman set won't.

yooo.. which leaker said this?

I recently watched Batman Forever for the first time and I honestly thought it was kinda peak, like a reimagined version of the 60's show.

It does have a scene where the villains break into the Batcave, so it would make sense to base the set around that, although I have no idea how well it would sell.

Whether the set is from the comics, B:TAS, or Schumacher, I think there's a good chance of getting a new Robin minifig, I just hope it isn't Damian again.

Yeah, I did find that off-putting, especially some of the shots towards the end of the trailer. Turns out it's the same cinematographer from The Flash, I found a lot of the angles in that to be super jarring as well, kinda reminds me of messing around in photo mode in a video game.

If LEGO was unwilling to do Burt Ward Robin no chance they do Chris O'Donnel.

They weren't unwilling. They already released him in the 60s Batcave.

Not doing anything for the new Superman movie sucks, but I would be down for Schumacher stuff.

What are the chances Lego pulls a Wednesday, Spider-Verse, and One Piece and gives us a Superman wave down the line?

That'll only happen if the Superman movie gets a sequel.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, THE WORST BATMAN MOVIES EVER ARE SCHUMACHERS, I NEED MORE NOLAN SETS, IF THE BATCAVE IS SCHUMACHER THEN I'LL EAT A BUILDABLE CHARACTER

Would love a Knightmare scene set with Batman,Joker and Deathstroke

I really don’t understand your complainant about Superman. It seems accurate enough to the source material, at least, from what I can tell. It’s a 2 minute teaser with like three lines of dialogue, which really isn’t enough to judge whether or not it’s an accurate depiction of Superman.

Always glad to see hatred for The Batman. That film deserves every bit of slander it can get.

The Batman was a brilliant dark Batman movie and possibly the 2nd best one, Dark Knight 1st, If someone loves Agatha but hates The Batman then I can't take them seriously
