This app is available for free in the iTunes store, and allows users to become feature film directors. By taking on the LEGO pieced heroes as their super hero actors, users can develop their own crime-fighting movies. LEGO has made this possible by partnering with [Warner Brothers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gotham-city-skyline-set) Consumer Products/DC Entertainment, and no partnership can be better-suited for the making of these crime-fighting apps. The Avengers movie is also just around the corner, so all comic book fans will find that this app is the perfect way to get a taste of what's to come. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 23% | Activity: 37% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Commercials](https://www.trendhunter.com/commercials) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Crime-fighting Apps:** Technology is being used to create innovative crime-fighting apps, allowing users to become feature film directors and develop their own crime-fighting movies. - **LEGO Super Hero Movie Maker:** LEGO's partnership with Warner Brothers Consumer Products/DC Entertainment enables users to create their own crime-fighting movies using LEGO superhero characters. - **Comic Book Movie Apps:** With the release of blockbuster movies like The Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers, apps like 'LEGO Super Hero Movie Maker' provide a preview and allow fans to get a taste of what's to come. ### Who This Affects Most - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can leverage crime-fighting apps to engage users and provide them with a unique movie-making experience using popular superhero characters. - **Technology:** The technology industry can explore opportunities to develop more interactive and user-friendly movie-making apps that cater to the growing demand for creative expression. - **Toy Manufacturing:** Toy manufacturers, such as LEGO, can capitalize on the popularity of superhero movies by partnering with entertainment studios to create innovative play experiences through apps like 'LEGO Super Hero Movie Maker'. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Superhero-Guided Workout Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superheroguided-workout-app.md) - [Brick Builder Community Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-play-app.md) - [Superhero-Inspired LEGO Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marvel-superhero-lego-toys.md) - [Superhero-Themed DIY Art Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jim-lee-batman.md) - [Comic-Themed RPG Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jam-city.md) - [3D Superhero Block-Puzzle Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazing-spiderman-set.md) - [Interactive Play Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superpower-academy.md) - [Buildable 3D Superhero Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gotham-city-skyline-set.md) - [Super Hero-Inspired Mobile Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-go-and-marvel.md)
