So maybe our godawful Superman or Batman movie is coming, after which it’s possible that they’ll need to reboot the hero Spiderman-style. But DC heroes have had their own terrible movies, particularly Batman (Batman and Robin) and Superman (Superman 3 & 4, despite the best efforts of the incredible Christopher Reeves). This hasn’t happened yet while Batman v Superman was bad, The Amazing Spiderman 2 was such a terrible superhero movie that it necessitated the relaunch of the entire franchise, and Avengers: Civil War enabled Sony to do so. I don’t see any reason DC couldn’t do the same if they faltered with Superman or Batman going forward. Sony apparently loaned out the hero to the Marvel universe which had the benefit of making Captain America even more interesting and rebooting the Spiderman series. I never thought I’d see Spiderman in an Avengers movie and then we had Captain America: Civil War. Maybe the movies will have to go first, and – heck – the way studios are consolidating and combining, it’s not unlikely that we’ll see a Superman/Iron Man crossover movie in our lifetimes. So, again, why is it that we don’t have a Lego crossover game?Įr….are they supposed to look so similar?

In fact, the games almost seem to make disparate heroes even more similar than they are in other representations (look at Venom and Hulk, for example). But, again, that’s never been a problem in Lego worlds Lego heroes are all pretty similar to each other and fairly interchangeable. There may be a reason Thanos and Darkseid have never been photographed together, and other heroes like Iron Man and Batman or Captain Marvel and Superman or Quicksilver and Flash seem to occupy somewhat similar spaces as well. I think there’s some argument to be made for the idea that the two universes have so many similarities that there might be some redundancies.

But that doesn’t hold true for a Lego adventure you just swap between heroes on the fly. For example, this article from Screenrant argues that we’ll never see a DC/Marvel movie crossover because one side would ultimately have to lose to another and no one wants their side to lose. I kind of get why we haven’t seen it in movies, but I don’t think the reasons it wouldn’t happen in movies apply here. Does that make any sense? Since we’re not going to see it in movies or see it ( again) in comics, why doesn’t Lego make a DC/Marvel crossover? But what about games? Lego games have been breaking these barriers and mixing up heroes for years, but even Lego seems to observe the Marvel/DC barrier. Superheroes can cross time and space, enter other dimensions, change sexes, and return form the dead ( ahem), but they can (almost) never cross over between the Marvel/DC barrier, at least not in comic books or movies. I’m sure the movie will inspire even more crossovers going forward and anyone’s game…except, of course, the DC universe. I still argue that I’d rather spend more time with each of these characters individually than the more limited space each gets in the wider cast, but I can’t argue that Avengers didn’t work. With dozens of heroes scattered across multiple locations (and facing bizarre enemies), the movie somehow held it all together and worked as a collective whole. 3’ will land in theaters on May 5th.There were a lot of surprising elements in Avengers: Infinity War, but probably the most surprising was that the movie worked. I would love to see any characters that remain get solo movies, or join the Avengers, or a new version of the Guardians or whatever.” “It would absolutely not be disloyal of them to me to continue on in the Marvel Universe. Still, he’s happy to hand over the keys to the 'Guardians' to other filmmakers, having previously seen them used by the likes of the Russo brothers and Taika Waititi. And with his DC duties, it’s hard to believe he’ll be back in the Marvel Cinematic Universe any time soon.
