There’s also a cultural resonance. Lego Batman—particularly through animated films and video games—has sharpened into a satire of superheroism: self-aware, meta, and often cheeky. DC Super Heroes’ roster is broad, from the cosmic gravitas of Darkseid to the grounded, detective-first Batman. IPA culture, too, has evolved from a niche to a scene of its own: brewery taprooms, label art that flirts with comic aesthetics, and the social ritual of sharing a flight of beers while trading theories about franchises. Put them together and you have a microcosm of contemporary fandom: tactile, social, and a little bit ironic.
