I read last night that, because of the success of LEGO Star Wars, this summer will see the release of LEGO Batman and LEGO Indiana Jones. LEGO Jones will reproduce the first 3 movies in a style like the Star Wars games. It was unclear in what I read if the Batman game will be related to the movies or the comics (I would love a LEGO Batman: No Man’s Land).

My Kids love LEGO: Star Wars, and I’m syched about the Indiana Jones game, and it got me thinking, what else would be fun LEGOized?

I would like to see:  
various team comic book adaptations (JLA, X-Men, Teen Titans, etc.) because of the interchangability of characters.  
I’d love a LEGO: James Bond series.  
Also LEGO: Monty Python (because I loved the Holy Grail LEGO scenes in the Holy Grail DVD).  
Your thoughts?

The Spiderman movies could be a lot of fun.

Lego Final Fantasy. It actually sounds a lot less far-fetched than Kingdom Hearts must have before it came out.

According to this month’s Game Informer, the Lego Batman game is going to be an amalgam of all of the eras of Batman (except for the “BIFF! POW!” stuff).

There are Lego Harry Potter sets, and there were a few Harry Potter “Lego Workshop” games for the PC a while back (which are most definitely not the same thing), but I think Lego Harry Poter games might be a little ways away yet.

But they’re the most likely after Indy and Batman.
