No. We will get Jokerized Batman, Batmanized Joker, Jokerized Batmmanized Joker, and Batmanized Jokerized Batman and then the theme will end.

Just when Wolverized Venomarine was revealed and you thought it was safe to go back in the water, Batmanized Jonkler.

I think we're done for the year already, save a D2C or mech.

What do you think the potential D2C and/or Mech could be for next year?

I know I've stated many times how a Lex Mech VS Supergirl could be likely given how it makes sense for Lex to have a Mech AND how the set could be a unofficial tie in to Supergirl, BUT.. I could also see LEGO Making yet another Batman mech instead since the one that came out last year is retiring pretty soon. Except this time, it would be Gray and Blue instead of Black and maybe the other figure could be Two Face.

For a D2C, I could defiantly see it being a D2C Battinson Mobile (or a D2C BvS Batmobile, and THAT is how we get an updated LEGO BvS Superman, alongside the reuse of the 2026 Batfleck figure)

And so it begins. The Jokerisation of characters is upon us.

It’s Batmanised Jonkler tho, not Jonklerised Batman  The theme is called Batman, so everything has to become Batman. The locations. The vehicles. The villains. The sidekicks. Innocent civilians. Nothing will be safe. Run.

I don't think lego has the confidence in DC for a villain mech, especially given most marvel mechs are for the heroes. 

My guess is another batman mech, with a lot of blue like you said. I'm not going to hope for a second figure- matter of fact, I'm not even going to hope we get the new cowl in blue and am going to assume it's just batman from arkham/the logo.

I think the D2C battinsonmobile is pretty likely. Maybe the BvS one, but again, I won't hope for a superman figure in it if we do get one.

They already got Bucky and Mr. Gold.

1. Where can you buy that BOOK?
2. How much it costs?
3. Are there more these books where are different minifigures? (I know only DC characters encyclopadia)

It seems that there is already (4) Batman sets, (1) polybag and (1) book that I want to buy 2026. I even bought today Spider-verse minifigures, 6 of them... BUT they are very childish. How ever I try to their parts for CUSTOM minifigures...

1. Nowhere rn

2. I don't know but usually these books are in the ~13-22 range

3. There's this, the character encyclopedia with an exclusive Superman and a Visual Dictionary with Electric Batman. I think those are the only ones with exclusive figures

There’s also books with Sinestro Corps Batman, John Stewart GL, pirate Batman, convergence Wonder Woman, Celtic Batman, and, of course, the book with Klarion the Witch boy (although he’s not exclusive since he appeared in 76209: Tower of Fate, he is incredibly rare).

The Tower of Fate has a better chance because it includes Batman.

Bold of you to assume the Klarion the Witch Boy Battle Pack wouldn't be four batmen (one of them with short legs and a suit) and a ~100 piece batmobile.

There’s no need to campaign for that. Lego is already planning that as our sole set for 2027

There’s now a showrunner for the Jimmy Olsen show that will star Gorilla Grodd. Lego has a chance to do the funniest thing ever by making sets for this after snubbing Superman.

I know we’re all jonkling here, but you have to be a member of the High Council of Jonklers to believe we’ll ever get a DC set again that isn’t based on Batman  Hell, not even movies actually featuring Man are safe bets after The Flash (which, granted, had more to do with Ezra Miller’s whacky criminal high jinks, but still)! The Soup mech this year must’ve been an accident.

As much fun as it is to be pessimistic about the state of this theme, I think we’re getting towards a good place in terms of Superman sets. The film reportedly did well. The merchandise seemed to sell well. We’re getting a sequel in all but name. We’re getting a spinoff movie and a spinoff tv series. And unlike most of the Batman stuff we’ve gotten, it mostly, if not all, is family friendly. I’m gonna make an incredibly bold prediction: by the end of this decade, we will see at least one year with more Superman sets than Batman sets.

A new Batman villain would be a bold prediction at this point. Predicting a year with more Soup sets than Batman ones which even 2013 didn’t have isn’t just bold, it earns you a free stay inside a luxurious padded cell

On a serious note, while you’re right that Superman did pretty well (alongside its merch), it’s still too early to tell whether TLG will ever be on board with the DCU. Supergirl and Clayface will surely face uphill battles and Superman’s success was nowhere near the level of other franchises that were skipped but did get sets based on later instalments, so they might still be hesitant in 2027.

These are all very fair points, especially the MoS one. However, IMO, it all comes down to this. DC is pushing Superman very hard right now and the content they’re making is available to a younger demographic. And it seems to be working, which makes it difficult for Lego to ignore for too long. Even if they don’t go all in on the DCU, I think they’ll still want to cash in on the Superman push.

Batman isn’t currently getting that push, because he’s already popular. But the content he has been getting has skewed towards an older audience, which makes it more difficult for Lego to capitalize on. Which is why all the Batman sets we’ve gotten the past several years have been aimed at adults.

I think the days where we saw Batman getting the same treatment as Spider-Man does in Lego Marvel sets has been over for a while now. I can’t remember the last time we got a wave of Batman sets that wasn’t based on older movies or under $300. But Superman is in a good position to take that slot and get his own wave of sets (movie based or otherwise) aimed at younger audiences.

I think this is a bit of a certified Aslume take. We can argue the specifics of however much superman actually made (At the end of the day, even with generous estimates on profit-sharing with theatres, it wasn't a smash-hit success. And last I heard it was having a rough time on streaming), or whether or not a Jimmy Olsen TV show is a good idea that will get the kids hyped, but as it relates to lego I'm not sure how much either of those actually matter.

Lego's continually moving to more and more of an adult market not just in DC, but across the board. Even the marvel line now features cheap(ish), system, minifigure sets that are clearly aimed at adults. 

Lego's also, whether it's in DC, Marvel, or Star Wars, increasingly been moving away from big waves for the new content to focusing on older hits. That's again not just for Batman.

Superman becoming more popular than Batman at all seems unlikely to me, especially considering regardless of which is kid-friendlier, there are two batman movies and a robin(s) movie(?) in development so I'd expect Lego would rather go with their favored character who they see as more of a proven success.

I feel like there is going to be a middle ground when it comes to sets based on MOT. Basically, I don't think we will get a wave of sets, but I think Superman 25 did fine at best to justify, at the very most, ONE set based on MOT. 

And I could already imagine the minifigures of that one singular set (Supes, Lex, and the main villain of the film) 

I just hope the main villain of the film is Braniac, as One of the reasons why the MoT announcement got me pumped was the potential of seeing Lex and Supes putting aside differences to take down Brainiac in his potential big screen debut. But something tells me that the main villain is going to be Rick Flagg Sr, given how Peacemaker 2 ended and how the last episode of Peacemaker 2 was apparently a commercial for MoT, AND how Gunn has been trying to make Flagg Sr. a "thing", but Flagg Sr. is just not working IMO.

So if we get Rick Flag Sr. as the third minifig (if he's the main villain instead of Brainiac) in potentially the only MoT set, I guess that would be worth the monkey paw that at least we get a MoT set? Someone should remind me this exactly 2 years from now

Considering how Superman performed better than The Marvels, Cap 4 and F4, all of which got at least a set. Coupled with the general positive reviews, trends and memes which came from it. I think it would be a safe bet for LEGO to make 1 £30-£50 set for it. But then again I thought Superman would at least get something 😂 The DCEU sets must have really sold awfully for LEGO to be this cautious about DC movie sets. 
It’ll be interesting to see how many Batman: Part 2 sets we get. I could see us just getting a new Batmobile with main villain ( or maybe not even that) 

Also, seeing how many Brand New day and Doomsday sets there are. If Spidey gets 2 or less and Doomsday gets less than the usual 6 for Avengers. I would think LEGO just aren’t as focused on current releases and that DC movie set chances decrease further

Do we know if Arkham is selling well? Can we expect more DC modulars?
