Some people might disagree with this approach but I think it’s a great way to allow newer fans a legitimate chance at collecting all the core Justice League characters without having to overpay on Bricklink or the secondary market. It’s probably done on purpose, but to collect the entire Justice League lineup, you’ll have to purchase every single set in this subtheme – it’s a calculated move on LEGO’s part, distributing all the core members of the Justice League across all 5 sets. If you’re new to LEGO or the DC Super Heroes theme, this set is an excellent way to catch up on some of the major characters from the DC Comics universe, especially if you missed the previous round of sets. We get a respectable bunch of good guy minifigures in Black Manta Deep Sea Attack – Robin Scuba, Aquaman and ScuBatman lynchpin of the LEGO DC Super Heroes, Batman himself. To me, Aquaman has always been that guy who can speak to fish and rules the ocean – other than having a lot of cool underwater technology at his disposal and being ruler of the oceans, he’s never really appealed to me as a Super Hero in a traditional sense.
I have to be honest, I’m not the biggest Aquaman fan, although I did love him in the Flashpoint crossover arc when he went to war against Wonder Woman and Themyscira.
Aquaman tags along to provide directions underwater as the Bat Sub’s GPS gets unreliable when you’re 20,000 leagues under the sea. The premise of Black Manta Deep Sea Strike is pretty simple – Robin does his best impression of damsel-in-distress, getting caught by longtime Aquaman villain Black Manta and it’s up to Bats to lead a heroic underwater rescue in his Bat Sub. Instructions: LEGO 76027 Black Manta Deep Sea StrikeĪfter helping out his yellow-phobic pal Green Lantern battle his archnemesis Sinestro on the alien world of Korrugar, Batman returns to Earth to lend a hand to his fish-talking friend, Aquaman. Although the subtheme is named after the powerful alliance of top shelf DC Super Heroes, the sets are chiefly set up to reenact iconic rivalries between the stars of the DC Comics and their corresponding super villains. February is DC Super Heroes month here on Jay’s Brick Blog and I’ve selected Black Manta Deep Sea Strike as the next LEGO set to review. Black Manta Deep Sea Strike is one of the two medium-sized sets from 2015’s awesome LEGO Justice League subtheme.
