Supergirl’s marketing is so far so good. I’m excited for the trailer tomorrow.

Supergirl is getting ten times as many sets as Superman did. Does this mean Lego supports alcoholism more than hope and niceness?

Absolutely. Though it's only fair to point out that while they've made X sets for Superman 2025 and 10X sets for supergirl, they've made 50X+24 sets for the Sonic the Hedgehog crossover (just oddly enough without any of the leaguers or darkseid?).

LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Standard Edition pre-orders for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) will receive The Dark Knight Returns Batsuit at launch, inspired by the legendary comic book series. Pre-orders for the LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight Deluxe Edition on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) will receive 72-hour early access to the game beginning on May 26, in addition to The Dark Knight Returns Batsuit.

 

No mention of a physical minifigure

[Rwbricks]

I’m disappointed there seems to be no physical minifigure with the game. The new trailer does show a lot more minifigure designs, including Two-Face, Robin, Batgirl, Nightwing, Ra’s Al Ghul, Mr. Freeze, and Firefly. 
 

C’mon, LEGO. *pokes with stick* Do something. 

[CloneCommando99]

Supergirl trailer released too. I wish Lego would make the RV.

 

Summer 2026 could potentially see the release of: a GL mech, Supergirl set and a £10 Nightcycle….

If Lego actually cared about the theme.

Narrator: TLG did not care about the theme

The movie definitely would have set potential if DC was still a theme. It’s a literal Batman theme now though

[psqidexslizer]

Between the Supergirl trailer and all those new minifigure designs in Legacy of the Dark Knight’s latest trailer, it’s so disappointing to be a Lego DC fan. There’s so much potential and all we’re getting next year are three Batmobiles, a brickbuilt Batman logo, and five different Batman minifigures.

The lanterns teaser doesn't make me hopeful we will get any lego for that either

I might be wrong, but I thought it was TV-MA, which would guarantee we get no sets.

I mean, anything besides Batman is already guaranteed not to get sets, but Lego also won’t touch TV-MA or R-rated projects. 

[psqidexslizer]

The Superman mech set is already retiring. I don’t think that’s a good sign for future non-Batman sets.

It also implies that, to some extent, there may be justification for it. Now I maintain there's literally nothing for lego to lose and everything to gain from just throwing JL members into all the bat-vehicles they make, but if the Supes mech is retiring that early it implies that even in a year where he had a movie come out, the character isn't moving enough merch to sell sets alone. I know people sometimes like to attribute hidden agendas to lego- they hate the star wars prequels or whatever- but their motive is always going to be profit. If the superman set was selling well, they wouldn't retire it so early.

If I remember correctly there's an interview where Nathan Fillion speaks to the volume of F-bombs he dropped in a single scene of Lanterns, which makes me pretty confident the show will have a rating that Lego won't make sets for.

NGL, it’s somewhat surprising that it didn’t sell well. Superman merch seemed to sell well and the movie itself did well. It seems to me there could be a handful for explanations for what’s going on here:

1) the set just wasn’t appealing to people

2) people were interested in movie merch but not Superman merch in general, ie being comic based instead of movie based hurt the set

3) people who are interested in Superman aren’t interested in Lego, and vice versa

4) the anecdotal evidence that Superman merch sold well didn’t match the reality

5) Lego set their expectations far too high for this set

6) the set was always slated for early retirement as Lego needs space in their warehouses for Doomsday minifigures, and the sales are irrelevant

I really doubt 2 or 3 are the case, as Lego fans and DC fans seem to be a large overlap and I don’t think people buying Superman merch noticed the difference between movie and comic minifigures designs. Nor does 5 make a lot of sense given the trend we’ve seen with Lego DC. Its hard to say what’s going on given Lego never releases sales data, but I’d definitely lean towards 1 or 4, neither of which are good for the future of Lego DC.

What are the odds we get this as a future set in the Batmobile collection they are doing? (I didn't include the Arkham one that was revealed because it includes the retired Batman cowl mold, and I feel like this set would be more likely)

I could see this Batman Beyond Batmobile and yet another 1966 Batmobile (but minifigure scale) as part of the next sets of that collection.

Batman Beyond seems a bit too niche, IMO. Sure, we just got a Batman Forever Batmobile and a Batman and Robin Batmobile, but those were major theatrical releases, not a twenty-year Batman cartoon, (and let’s be fair, those two sets are pushing it.) And sure, you could bring up BtAS getting sets, but Beyond was never as big as BtAS nor are its versions of characters like Joker, Harley, and Mr Freeze as recognizable. Beyond has always had a cult following, but that’s about it.

that expansion pack with the 3 different packs could easily become the next wave of Batmobiles. they would just need to release another minifiguare as per the image's.  

surely there is some set for Supergirl,  surely Lego don't f%#k this up.

I'm partially inclined to agree but at the same time there's just not much else to do. Assumably 2027 will bring us the 1989 or 1992 mobile (but not both in the same wave), the '66 batmobile and then.... what? The Tumbler retires on the very last day of 2026, so unless they want to swap it out right away, there's pretty much nothing else they can do without diving into the cartoons.

No way.

Lego didn't make a direct tie-in for Superman, just the mech. Superman itself, while whether or not or to what extent it made profit is cloudy, objectively wasn't any sort of runaway hit on the scale of NWH or other movies lego's hurried to rush out sets for.

Supergirl comes out only a year after superman, so lego would have had to sprint to get a set out even faster than the NWH set. Given superman wasn't anywhere near a NWH level of success and there's no way supergirl makes more money than superman (being essentially a spinoff), I doubt lego is going to make that sprint. And Supergirl likely making less also implies that if all they did for superman was a mech, it's again unlikely they do anything for supergirl.

And then we add on that the mech's retiring early, strongly implying it had poor sales...

Lego in July 2026: It was at this moment he knew he f%#ked up.

And speaking of Lanterns:

Spoiler

God I hope the current rumours about Guy being murdered and how that’s Hal and John get involved in a murder mystery are false. It’s too soon, and I need to see Guy in his comic accurate costume. Also, with Hal almost definitely dying/ retiring/ becoming Parallax as well it removes the fun of there being multiple GLs at once if it’s just John.

I’ve barely come to terms with Hal either dying or becoming Parallax, but to lose Guy as well would just suck. John is arguably the least interesting out of the 4 Corpsmen (though he’s still a good character) which means that either GL mythology won’t be used to its fullest potential, or he’ll be stealing other Lanterns’ stories just like every other John adaptation. Like he did for Kyle in BMP and Hal in JLU.

I know it’s such a minor nitpick. But it’s just annoying that this seems to keep happening. Why does DC keep pushing John with other Lanterns’ stories in adaptations? If you don’t want to adapt John’s own stories then maybe just not adapt John at all.

I'm 50/50 on it because on the one hand everything you said is correct- especially that Hal is clearly either going to die, turn evil, or otherwise be sidelined in favor of John- but Nathan Fillion shouldn't have been Guy in the first place, while he's not bad he would have been much better as Hal. He was even Hal in the DCAU. (And, as a nitpick, he's yet another character that was a redhead in the comics who lost it in the adaption. They already either dyed his hair or gave him a wig, would it have been that much trouble to make it the right color?)

It is really funny how strange and John-focused GL adaptations have been. I think my two favorites are how he was supposed to be the stinger for the Snyder Cut and then WB forced them to change it for no discernable reason, and how they randomly tried to make John Diggle- notably NOT John Stewart- a GL in the arrowverse like seven seasons in because, I dunno, some writer just went "oh, this guy is named John? there's only one John in the multiverse this must be the green lantern"?

The guy Snyder hired to play GL was non-union, so if WB let him use that scene, they would have gotten in trouble. That’s why it was replaced with the (equally terrible) Martian Manhunter scene.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they only did one or two Batmobiles next year (specifically the two you listed) instead of the three we got this year.

Does anyone remember when rumors for Arkham Asylum came out last year? I'm just curious on when we should expect 2026 rumors for the Super Hero modular

November 9th was when the rumors started. But when the leaks come aren’t consistent, at all. We first heard about Krusty Burger, Arkham, and the Beauty and the Beast castle all at the same time even though they released months apart. And even when talking about superheroes Modulars specifically, the first three Marvel ones weren’t leaked until a few months in advance. The X-Mansion we knew about close to two years in advance, even before we knew about Avengers Tower. Leaks will come when they come and no one here has any real idea when that will be.

Ah, a discernable reason, just a stupid one. 

That's definitely possible- three whole batmobiles is just too generous for lego DC, we probably only got that much this year because of the game. I guess it's also possible they throw in the 1989 batwing- I know it says legendary BATMOBILE collection, but at this point I would not at all be surprised if the designers/marketing team forgot how to read.

There's a wide time variance, but rest assured, whatever news we do get won't be relevant to batman. (I'm pretty sure it's Oscorp, but it's 100% a marvel modular)

Since the midi scale AT-AT is still labeled as part of the Starship Collection, we may rest assured John Lego isn't a stickler for precise labels.
