My one problem with LEGO and there obsession with Batman is how they refuse to put any other hero in a Batman set. Like do they think if they make a Batmobile set that has Batman and Superman in it, it will sell less than a Batmobile set with only Batman in it. It just doesn’t make sense to me

This isn’t even a Lego exclusive issue. It’s more so Warner’s obsession with Batman. Take McFarlane’s DC Multiverse - people literally have to BEG to get characters other than the 675th variation of Batman. For context - the line started in 2020 and it took them 4 years to make a classic Wonder Woman (part of that is Todd’s fault, but still)

Why the heck did DC not make more sets with Green Lantern?

Funnily enough, I have all three of the BATMAN sets still sealed but will get round to at least opening the Batcave down the line.

Marvel is dead too but we still get plenty of sets. DC has years of comics to base sets on besides Batman. It’s a shame. Wonder if we’ll get some Superman: Legacy sets or new Superman sets in general. He deserves his own line too.

Currently the only actual lego DC "set" that isn't batman is a Superman keychain. A freaking keychain. There is a small symbol of hope though. They recently released the Batman mech armor. The reason why this gives me hope is because the marvel mechs have tons of different characters. Lets hope lego realizes that we want more than just Batman.

All I’m asking for is LEGO Batman 4 (or 5 if we count LEGO DC Super-Villains as the fourth game). If new movies can’t carry the brand, why not a really solid video game?

It's insane that Lego was actually willing to make characters beyong the world of Batman for a set dedicated to The Flash movie (albiet, still mostly a Batman set), but Ezra Miller had to ruin it... Hope we can still get the Sasha Calle Supergirl fig one day in a polybag or something.

Damn i never realized how much DC films were either screwed over or sucked.

Honestly, given how bad superhero movies are these days, Lego would be much better off just making new DC sets based on the old stuff people actually like and the comics. Those were usually their best sets in the past anyway. They are smart not to risk their brand on the current state of Hollywood, which is, by all accounts, in terminal decline. Kids still like superhero stuff, so just make some more original sets, featuring comic versions of the characters. If they have to put Batman in every set, so be it, but at least go back to putting other DC characters in with those sets again. Also, make a new Lego Batman game and that would help boost sales enormously. Lego DC Villains was excellent, and they did almost nothing to capitalize off of that. Sadly, if (when) the new Superman film flops, I expect that Lego will give up on any non-Batman DC sets entirely, on the assumption that kids don't care about any other DC characters anymore. I don't think that's true, but, without good adaptations to get new fans into them, it won't translate into the kind of massive toy sales that Lego are looking for. Kids that do get introduced to these characters, will probably do so through their parents showing them the older stuff they liked as kids. That's partially why they're making safe sets based on The Dark Knight Trilogy, Batman 89, and BTAS. If we're lucky, that may eventually result in some more Justice League Animated Series sets, but I'm not getting my hopes up. It's a shame, because I always thought the majority of the DC sets were better than the Marvel ones, until recent years, when they really stepped up their game with Marvel.

9:38 No way that's so cool. If only my stores kept Lego sets from previous years that didn't sell well. My local Barnes and Noble used to have basically the entire theme of Legends of Chima back in the summer of 2016. But they got rid of it a few months later. They really should've kept them up.

Let's be real the DCEU pretty much killed DC in general that's how bad it was.

I do hope they expand the theme to the entire DC brand again instead of relying on Batman in the future.

I don't know why they focused solely on the DCEU Lego used to make general DC sets so i don't know why they didn't go back to that upon the movie franchises failures. The older sets based on DC comics/a variety of DC Characters. I hate how LEGO DC is just Batman now and its sad.

That combined with the controversies around some of the DC actors (i.e. Flash) and the cancellation of other films (i.e. Batgirl) means LEGO probably just isn't willing to take a chance on anything new DC puts out. Which means going for nostalgia and there just aren't any non-Batman properties that have enough nostalgia factor to work (for example, the Christopher Reeve superman films are great and still somewhat popular but they just don't hit the right target audience to sell LEGO product in the way that the Tim Burton Batman movies do and the Justice League and other animated DC cartoons don't hit the right target audience to sell LEGO sets the way Batman the Animated Series does)

Well done video

Best sets have always been the comic-based ones ...

14:39 Why did they cancel The Flash LEGO set!? That would have been cool to play with and be cool to buy

lego didn't want to be asocited with Ezra Miller

I always liked the more comic inspired sets for both marvel and DC. Here's hoping the upcoming DC movies revive Lego's interest in the dc superheroes line, I really wanna see some superman sets when that movie comes out

Really sad to see lego lost fate even to themself as otherwise we would probably just get a lego batman movie 2 and they will just sell more sets from there Or heck I do hope someday we get modular scale set like gcpd, arkham asylum, daily planet, Lex corp, Wayne manor

Great video

6:50 A lot of these DC Batman sets were based on the LEGO Batman 3 video game at the time. You completely missed that point.

How many sets? 2?

From what i learned back during the production of the lego movies they had problems with qorking with warner bros and alot of their DC gilms being rated R which lego doesnt make stuff really unless its amrket for older collectors. They still may do dc sets but with dc being rated r mostly and the fact warner bros and legi have a bad relationship they put all the budget into marvel.

Well David Z was tight ass, in terms of spending.

Zalslav came in so late his decision did not influence Lego’s lack of trust in the brand, but to your point I’m not sure they’re gonna help either

Honestly i think a few of dcs movies have been good recently, i loved black adam

11:23 Amber didn’t do anything wrong btw 😁👍🏿

5:13 lego batman 2 and lego starwars clone wars 3 are peak lego gaming

12:25 I love the sets box art and I bought it as fast as I could

Lego did make a dark knight rises tie in set, it was decent

I had it in at some point but the video was too long so I cut out the parts that didn’t affect the points I was trying to make

I wish I had the 2006 LEGO Batman sets…

in my opinion i didn’t see anything wrong with the dc superhero sets from 2012-2019.and i don’t see why every set needs to be based off of a movie or batman.like dc isn’t known for its movies,marvel isn’t known for it’s movies.so i don’t see why it’s such a big issue to make dc superhero sets.it doesn’t need to be based off of anything or any movie or just include batman. lego dc needs variety just like the old days not based on anything but dc comics

ahhh so that's why I couldn't have the sets I saw in the first game- they weren't making them!!

16:50 The timeline fits Gunn said that the strike didn’t affect their shooting dates

Never referred to shooting, referee to pre production, like concept art. I’m not sure how advanced pre production was on the film in august, with all the concept art and story outlines they send to toy companies for merchandise

@@MyBrickOpinions Yeah same, he said that they always planned to start when they did so the process wasn’t affected

Dc has had some of the best sets ever made not to be biased but I love all the LEGO dc sets and I regret not getting earlier marvel sets but I’m happy collecting both dc and marvel Lego sets nowadays

I like Batman but I need more heroes like Superman, flash, & green lantern

DC’s obsession with Batman is ruining DC, period.

They know it'll make money, so they play it safe instead of actually trying to make something new and exciting.
