Lego Deathstroke by JustDKFilms!

I have complained in this blog before that I felt that Deathstroke was given short shrift in most of the official LEGO movies featuring DC Comics characters. Serving as either a background character or an inconsequential cameo, Deathstroke rarely gets his due as the legitimate badass he is. Well in 2018, the fine folk (yes, singular) at JustDKFilms rectified this situation. On February 10, 2918, JustDKFilms published Lego Deathstroke: A fan-made stop-motion animated brickfilm short starring Deathstroke in all his miniature plastic mercenary glory.

Though visually innocent at first (these are Legos after all), Lego Deathstroke wastes little time in bringing the bullets-and-blades action befitting the Terminator. Blood? Buckets! Death? Duh! Mercy? None! In about five minutes, Lego Deathstroke accomplishes that rarest of feats in that it is both brutal and funny. There is an Easter Egg in the form of an homage to Mick Zeck's classic cover to Deathstroke the Terminator (1991) #1, which is priceless but isn't too much to take away from the film as a whole. I won't spoil the ending, but needless to say that JustDKFilms definitely left me wanting more.

Check out the film in its entirety, which is posted below, as well as JustDKFilms other projects at this link. Enjoy!

Deathstroke in Lego's DC Comics Super Heroes: The Batboat Harbor Pursuit Playset

In Legoland, everything is awesome because Deathstroke is the featured villain in the Lego DC Comics Super Heroes: The Batboat Harbor Pursuit playset. This set retails for around $29.00  and features three figures, two vehicles, and one heck of a good time. All photos and product details and descriptions below are from Lego.com.

Divide the Batboat to ambush Deathstroke!

Deathstroke has stolen diamonds from the bank and is escaping with the loot on his heavily-armored jetboat. Place Batman™ and Robin in the cockpits of the Batboat at Gotham City harbor and set off in high-speed pursuit. Open up the secret radar tower and examine the control screens to track the jetboat. Evade the jetboat’s flick missiles and swerve to avoid Deathstroke’s super-jumping attempts to knock down the radar. Then activate the split function to launch the super heroes’ hoverboats, ambush the villain and reclaim the safe with the jewels. Includes 3 minifigures with accessories: Batman, Deathstroke and Robin.
