The design depicted in the CMF is most closely based on that portrayed by Marlon Brando in the 1978 Richard Donner movie. Superman’s father appeared relatively early on in Superman’s Story. Since then, he has barely been seen vacationing at all! Jor-El In an attempt to bring the comics in line with this figure, he was sent of to vacation at a health resort. However, he was portrayed as as a trim, moustachioed gentleman in a movie serial at the same time.
So, I would like to present the Series 2 LEGO Batman Movie CMFs’ in order of their original appearance across various media… You are welcome to disagree with some of my more…creative choices.Īppearing early in Batman’s Career, this brilliant scientist/psychiatrist was later to appear in Batman #1.Īlfred’s initial appearances in comics depicted him as a bumbling, overweight, clean shaven man (April 1943). And not the one I was expecting!įor the record, all figures (20 in the set) have a 4×3 plate, this time printed with a Bat Logo… I think I have tracked down original appearances for most of them, with only a few having a fraction of a second time on screen in the closing credits. While I applaud the inclusion of Wonder Dog (Superfriends S1, 1973), I miss his human teen friends, Wendy and Marvin, and likewise, while they were retired for the second season ( The All-New Superfriends Hour, 1977 – I guess they had gone to college), we haven’t yet seen LEGO Glick, the space monkey companion of the Wonder Twins.Īs I looked at the second series of CMFs I became sceptical as to how many of these characters actually existed prior to this series being announced.
The Justice League 57th Annual Reunion Party brings back so many recollections of Super Friends (the prevailing non-Batman DC superhero cartoon series in my childhood), and the sheer lunacy of the Condiment King (introduced in the Batman Animated Episode ‘Make ‘Em Laugh’ in 1994, and appearing in the comics continuity as recently as 2017). I have also been tempted to extend past my original vow to purchase only the sets that resonated with my youth. On the whole, I was a little sceptical of the viability of a third wave, but seeing such sets as the Justice League Anniversary Party (70919) and Egghead’s Mech Food Fight(70920) my spirits have been lifted. Just as we thought the LEGO® Batman Movie had been merchandised within an inch of its life, we bear witness to another wave of sets and a second series of collectible mini figures.
