LEGO Ninjago Legends: Duskfall Trailer

July 25, 2026 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Last year, LEGO released a more adult oriented show called Ninjago Legends: Monstrosity and there will be a new show similar to it with LEGO Ninjago: Duskfall. First show at San Diego Comic Con 2026, the story follows a much older Kai and Nya fighting in their Twin Titan Mechs which I think looks very Gundam-like. We can also see a very different Devourer and Ultra Dragon as well as a extremely large White Oni. LEGO Ninjago Legends: Duskfall will air this September.

LEGO Teases New Batman Batmobile Set Coming Soon

July 24, 2026 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has recently updated the Adults Welcome section of the LEGO Shop with a teaser of a new LEGO Batman set coming soon. In the image, we can see a Batmobile covered up with the Batman Returns logo at the top. The caption below it reads:

The shadows grow darker in Gotham City as a new Batman set emerges from the depths. But even heroes have their doubts… Alright, now I’m a little worried.

The last sentence directly references a scene from Batman Returns where Batman is chased by the police after he was framed of pushing the Ice Princess off the legde of a building. After a short chase, we come to some buildings will a narrow space and the Batmobile sheds some armor to become the Batmissile. We can assume that the new set will be this version of the Batmobile with the transforming Batmissile.
