Lego Justice League (JLA)

Bryant's Lego Justice League

The Justice League of America (JLA) is the ultimate superhero team. DC Comics first put the Justice League together in 1960. Originally featuring Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and the Martian Manhunter. Since then the superhero team has had a sort of revolving door for membership. Here, Flickr user Bryant, has imagined a Lego version of the team featuring the core members, plus Hawkman, Green Arrow, the Atom, and the Black Canary. Someday Lego may get around to creating official Lego minifigures for all the major DC Comics superheroes, until that time custom minifigs will have to fill in the missing heroes.

Bryant's Lego Justice League: Hawkman & Atom

Here are two of the custom Justice League Lego minifigures. Hawkman is a combination of decals and painting, while the Atom is a custom painted Lego trophy. That little Lego trophy makes a perfect Lego Atom.

Bryant's Lego Justice League Martian Manhunter & Green Lantern

Here is the custom Lego Martian Manhunter and the Green Lantern. Decals were used again to achieve the torso prints.

Bryant's Lego Justice League: Aquaman & Flash

The final two custom JLA members are Aquaman and the Flash. Once again showing off custom decals for the torsos. The old style Lego space helmet works great here too.

Lego Legion of Doom

Bryant's Lego Justice League Villains

But, we cannot forget the supervillains, even super friends have super enemies. Bryant has created a super lineup (based on Justice League Doom, Legion of Doom, and Super Friends) featuring Amazo, Captain Cold, Darkseid, Lex Luthor, Joker, Bizarro, Solomun Grundy and Black Adam. The big stand outs here are Darkseid, and Solomun Grundy. Adding a plate between the legs and torso works well but leaves me wondering how it was accomplished.

I… See… You! — Batman: Arkham Asylum

Cpt Brick's I See You Batman Arkham Asylum

Batman: Arkham Asylum is a very good video game. Lego has recognized this too and has used the game for inspiration for their own Batman sets (Lego Arkham Asylum Breakout (10937)). So it comes as no surprise that the AFOL community is also inspired by the Batman Arkham series. Some of the most memorable parts from the video game is when Jonathan Crane (Scarecrow) drugs Batman. The resulting hallucinations are a truly inspired part of the game. Having Batman traverse a nightmarish landscape while a giant Scarecrow is hunting him down.

This Lego MOC is a perfect example of forced perspective, depth of field, and great composition. The whole scene comes together with a sense of terror. At any moment Batman could be found.
