Who?  

What I also wanted to ask... has there been anymore substance to the rumor of the D2C being the Daily Planet?

As @psqidexslizer points out, there is no such rumour. It’s only been speculated because of the Metropolis sticker in the Arkham set. The Superheroes D2C is actually rumoured to be a Helicarrier

[Sinistereo]

when do you guys think Lego Batman: Legacy Of The Dark Knight will release on Switch 2? Hopefully no later than July of this year. I greatly dislike when games across multiple platforms don't have a simultaneous release but I understand it's because a lot of game devs didn't have the devkits for the switch 2 prior to that console releasing

What? I thought I read somewhere that it wasn't gonna be a Marvel D2C... I have got to start waiting for more conformation

It’s only been confirmed not to be a Marvel modular, which of course doesn’t mean it’s a DC set  Afterwards, rumours of a new D2C Helicarrier popped up, which are still unconfirmed, but sound plausible.

Ooohh, that makes sense  
I see, now, thanks

The New Garbage Monster from the CMF has another perfect mould for Clayface. Come onnn let’s finally get a minifig version 😂

We just got a new DC character last year. Don’t be greedy!

That piece has been around since 2021 though, so what changed?  I‘d say it‘s less likely than ever, given the state of the theme and the upcoming R-rated movie.

It’s now in a solid color. Supposedly solid colors and trans-parents colors need different moulds for the same piece due to the plastics being different. Although, I’ve also heard that Lego has changed their formula and that isn’t an issue anymore, so I don’t know how true that is.

But, to your point, it doesn’t mean much of anything and having the character in an R-rated film probably doesn’t help his chances.

I'd always heard that in regards to not being able to make some opaque parts in translucent colors because the transparent plastic was weaker, and assumed anytime we saw a transparent part the solid part could be made on the same mold, but your explanation also makes sense.

Yeah if anything I think it makes it less likely we see clayface anytime soon, sort of like how deadpool hasn't been in a set since his movies started releasing. We know they have a little more leeway with 18+, so maybe we'll get a minifig clayface if lego makes a modular-price-point comics-based Batcave or something, but otherwise I think Clayface's chances of getting a lego figure are about as high as Waxman's at the moment- and he's spent the last few years in the comics locked in a steel sphere by moon knight that he later poured concrete foundation over.

Yeah, I wonder about the possibility of Clayface being in a 18+ set because it isn’t exactly clear where Lego draws the line when it comes to comic versions of characters who’ve only been in mature content (TV-MA for shows and R for movies) recently. Deadpool is clearly off-limits while comic versions of Daredevil and Punisher were apparently fine. But it’s not clear if Daredevil and Punisher were able to be snuck into 18+ sets because their show costumes and comic costumes look distinct enough or if Lego just has more leeway with characters in violent adaptations as opposed to characters who use a lot of profanity, nudity, and innuendos.

I also wonder if we’ll be getting a D2C 18+ Batman set this year. We typically get one for Batman (since this theme started, 2012, 2015, 2018, and 2022 have been the only years without at least one D2C set for Batman), but at the same time, we don’t have any set numbers for one and Lego did cut back on Superhero D2C sets last year giving us just the one instead of the usual 2-3. But the modular buildings seem to sell well so it’d be surprising if we didn’t get another one this year. I could see it going either way honestly.

edit: It’s also the 20th anniversary of Lego Batman, which Lego doesn’t celebrate anniversaries for the superhero theme, except they did this time. It’d seem strange to not celebrate with a big set. Also, there’s a new Lego Batman game out, but that also might not mean anything in terms of big sets.

Clayface is probably fine as long as the movie doesn't become like defining for the character's perception

I mean, what else does he have in recent memory? Appearances in Harley Quinn and Creature Commandos, two adult animated shows? It’s not looking good for him.

[Rwbricks]

I’m still going to hold out hope/delusion that LEGO will squeeze in a Clayface appearance before his film comes out. Not that it necessarily means much, but they referenced him four times in Arkham, when they could’ve done that for Two-Face or many other characters. 
 

In other news, Wonder Woman’s hair/crown piece will return in CMF Series 29, so now both the hair for her and Superman are back in circulation.

We haven‘t seen a single character other than Man this year, so I doubt WW stands much of a chance. Maybe the hair & tiara mould simply hasn‘t been destroyed yet!

As for Soup, that hairpiece has never been out of circulation. The piece hasn‘t been used in black in a while before last year‘s mech, sure, but it did see use in other colours in other themes.

The hairpiece has leaked and I’m not sure why everyone is saying it’s Wonder Woman’s. It’s clearly a different piece.

it's very strange. there is the technic Tumbler coming out,  it got me thinking what if it's 3500 pieces plus and that's our large set for the year,  due to Lego branching out to every other possible theme there is! or it's a small version technic and we still get a modular.  I mean we should from all accounts the modular Arkham has sold well. I guess Lego has got a gripe on its leaks.  

 

time will tell. maybe an announcement closer to the video game release.

I don't think that sort of reference usually means anything. Daredevil was referenced in an Infinity War set, and I doubt they were planning his inclusion in the Bugle 3 years out. Kingpin was referenced in the bugle but hasn't shown up since. 

I thought it was a different piece at first, but comparing the two they look identical to me. That said, I don't think it actually means we're getting a new WW. She'd have to be RIGHT around the corner if the mold was resurrected for her as opposed to just fitting the character the CMF team wanted to make.

As for the classic superman hair, it never actually left circulation- it was used pretty commonly in the early 2020s and of course has shown up recently a few times (though oddly enough not on superman himself last year.)

What difference are you seeing? I've been comparing the two and they look identical to me, though it's a little tough to make out exact details from the BL images of the black hairpiece.

I may be wrong but I believe licensed technic sets "count" under the technic theme rather than the license, so there's no concern of that. But we could also just not get a large DC set this year.

My guess is still something like a UCS BTASmobile, though.

The tiaras on the two pieces are different. Wonder Woman’s has the tiara inset more and it doesn’t extend up quite as high. The hair is also more pointed on the bottom right side than on Wonder Woman’s hair.

The hair curls more at the bottom and sits less over the shoulders too, if memory serves

Why doesn’t Lego just make a small Justice League BP with Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Flash and GL? Are they stupid?

Probably because it's too many wanted characters in one small set.

Well, maybe if they made a villain counterpart BP with, say, Atrocitus, Reverse Flash, Ares and Orm or someone.

Forget buying, most kids couldn’t name any of these.

Unfortunately, that's the truth of the matter. If even superman's getting his $15 set retired early, nobody who isn't named Batman stands a chance.

The only sales would be hardcore DC fans who buy all the batmobiles anyway, and anyone willing to spend $23 on the "it was me, Barry, I *insert hilariously petty action*" meme.

I would be the latter. Reverse Flash is one of the funniest haters in media. He literally goes back in time so he can push child Barry down the stairs at one point. That's stealing 40 cakes levels of villainy.

I still can't see it, but I'll take your word for it. Lego's done slight remolds like that before.
