LEGO Batman 2, Now With Kryponian Action Grip!

Here is the video for LEGO Batman 2: DC Superheroes.

A few things I noticed: was that Mark Hamill as the Joker's voice? Flying Supes around Gotham looks to be really fun. Are there any other superheroes in the video game subtitled DC Superheroes? I sure hope so.

Raptor Wednesday Sneak Attack!

I have nothing really interesting to report today. So for no reason, here's a couple of LEGO Raptor pictures. Why, you ask? I think the real question is "Why not?"

Actually, I think I do have something to report. In homefront LEGO news I finally got the Superhero set 6857 The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape or as normal humans know it Joker's Funhouse. I'm so glad that this highly-sought-after set finally arrived at my place. In the United States this set has been impossible to find. So that is exciting!

As you can see this set comes with a number of the most sought-after minifigs from the new DC Superheroes genre. Batman, (new, red) Robin, (new, purple tux) Joker, Harley Quinn, and the Riddler with a new hat. Critics have said that this set, though simplistic, is a really fun build with a lot of built-in traps and action. So, maybe I'll share a review soon. But for those who cannot wait you can see an excellent review of this set here.

But perhaps most importantly, here is a LEGO Raptor in a fighter jet.

Yes that's right this is a Raptor flying a F-22 Raptor. (Christina this picture is for you.) And it is probably the greatest picture I have ever seen. 

Anyway with that, enjoy the great March weather we are currently having.

LEGO Bad-ass Picture of the Day

There is no reason to look at this picture. It doesn't involve news, or film, or music. It isn't a piece of art that asks probing questions about the human experience. It doesn't challenge strongly held beliefs so that we learn about our own views of the world. It appears to contain a neon-orange spider.

But it is a picture of a plastic Tyrannosaur eating a plastic polar bear. Your argument is invalid.

Happy Friday!

LEGO Shuttle in Space!

A launch in Germany sends a LEGO Shuttle into space. Wicked awesome!

Here's what the poster vincivesre had to say about it:

"My Lego tribute to the end of the space shuttle era. Proving that although retired, this machine can still fly, albeit in toy form.

"The launch took place from central Germany and reached a max altitude of 35000m. A 1600g meteo balloon filled with helium was used alongside a GoPro Hero, Spot GPS and of course Lego Space Shuttle model 3367."

Awesome. Entire barrels of awesome! Also, happy Monday.

Am I a Muppet or a Man?

This one goes out to all of you who are muppety men or very manly muppets.

Either way, it is an Oscar-winning video! Enjoy! And happy March everyone.

DMK: Teaching Kids Music is Cool!

I love this! The song is of course Depeche Mode's "Everything Counts" but what is amazing is the cooperation and ingenuity of Dicken with his two adorable children, Milah and Korben! This is priceless and my new favorite band.

What If Episode 1 Was Good?

This guy has some great suggestions for tightening up Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Storyline. Really good without changing very much about the story. I want to see this movie.

I can't wait for the above version to come to theaters or in a fan edit.
Speaking of which, for the best fan edit of A New Hope go here:
