I guess that nostalgia adults who fondly remember the old Batman movies are currently buying more Lego DC stuff than kids interested in "proper playsets". It's a shame, but hopefully 'Superman' will get children excited for DC again, and Lego will have time to bring out something for next year's 'Supergirl'. We might even get a 'Superman' set (belatedly) to go along with any 'Supergirl' set(s), since having Clark alongside Kara on shelves might help sales when Supergirl isn't as big of a name as her cousin. This is all dependent upon Lego finally remembering that they're supposed to make Lego sets of the properties they have the licence for, obviously.

Huzzah. The Wonder Woman movie gives me hope that a Wondergirl will be featured in Teen Titans. Donna’s exclusion from the 2003 series did tremendous damage to her relevancy. Now we just need to get a fixer up in the video game department. Marvel and Image (somehow) are running laps around us.

The possibility of world’s finest gives me hope that Lego will be backed into a corner and make sets based off it due to their Batman sells principle.

 

Can we get Trinity, JLI and GLC movie announcements next please Mr Gunn? And a Dceased Elseworld adaptation?

 

 

Now I eagerly await the Lanterns suit reveals.

Good. It was absurd that she wasn't in the original plans. That post- DCEU, Pre-Gunn "10 year plan focused on Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman"  still would have been best IMO, but at least the trinity are all getting movies now.

Great news about Wonder Woman getting a film and Superman getting a sequel. It is disappointing that Flash is the only member of DC’s big five not to have a project in development. Then again, it could be worse.

Once again… why Lego, why??

Lack of trust in DC films after a deluge of underperforming instalments :snicker: They will backpedal soon enough if Supes does as well as hope it will!

Can't believe my boy The Question is getting a movie.  He's who you meant by the 4th member of the big five, right? (Jokes aside I actually don't know who you mean. I've hard anything from Joker to HQ to Aquaman to, just, the concept of a green lantern. Not a specific guy, just the concept of someone wearing the ring.)

Though A is A, and lego is lego, so regardless of what's coming unless it's wearing bat ears or makes more money than No Way Home we still aren't seeing sets.

I think it's important to recognize that superman would probably have to do Avengers numbers to get retroactive sets. If it does good but not at that level, we might get a set for the wonder woman movie or a few for superman 2, but I doubt they'd go back to cover it retroactively.

By big five, I mean the five big franchises for DC (excluding team ups) and core members of the JL: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, and Green Lantern.

 

Joker and Harley fall under the Batman umbrella and Aquaman is probably a close sixth. He’s just not as essential of a JL member as the rest and Super Friends did a lot of damage to his reputation.

Even if Superman does Avengers numbers, they couldn’t release sets until 2027. At that point, the sequel would probably already be in production (given it’s currently being written and is allegedly Gunn’s next project). Odds are Lego will just wait for that film and strike while the iron is hot instead of trying to cash in on a movie that released two years prior.

It’s interesting to ponder that if Lego did decide to cover Superman this year for a true DC renaissance, how good would the sets have been?

The (fantastic) trailers so have have shown us the minifigure and set potential are as expansive as they can be for a film, so many cool characters, scenes, and locations that would’ve translated amazingly into Lego. But all the same, we’ve seen how half-baked Marvel has been as of late (although this summer is certainly a step in the right direction), would DC have been similar?

It’s a shame we’ll never know. The reluctance to cover the film is somewhat understandable given how the DCEU’s films have flopped in the past, but not covering the DCU’s first film with even a single tie-in set just seems like wasted potential.

If Lego covered the set they’ve been covering others these past few years, we’d have gotten:

Superman vs Kaiju: includes Superman and Kaiju

If they covered it the way they covered sets 5-10 years ago:

Superman vs Hammer of Bolivia: includes Superman, Lois Lane, buildable Hammer of Bolivia

Justice Gang vs Kaiju: includes Superman, Kaiju, Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl, Mr Terrific, and T-Ship

Fortress of Solitude: includes Superman, Krypto, Superman robot x2, Lex Luthor, Engineer, and Ultraman

 Not to mention a store exclusive Daily Planet, styled after the Marvel “mini-Modular’s.”

Most movies don’t get modular tie-ins when they first release. Dr Strange 2 was the only exception, and that set doubled as an Infinity War tie-in.

I was referring to the pseudo-Modulars like Oscorp and Peter Parker’s apartment.

The Ninjago Jan set names have leaked, so maybe we’ll get Superheroes soon. Hoping for at least 1 or 2 actual sets with characters and builds not just Batmobiles and a mech

If they did a Junior UCS Set (the style they did for the Batman Forever Batmobile) of the Bat (from TDKR), I wouldn’t complain. 
 

But for January 2026 sets for DC, I’d probably expect only two sets, and those being:

Lex Luthor Mech vs Supergirl

BvS Batmobile Minifigure Scale (with only Batman and Superman minifigures)

I’m going to be incredibly bold with next year’s predictions.

Winter

GL Mech with Hal and John

4+ Batcycle with Batman and Catwoman

BtAS Batcave with Batman, Robin and two new villains (likely Two Face and Poison Ivy)

Summer

comic styled Batmobile reusing figures from this years Arkham

Fortress of Solitude with Superman, Supergirl, Lex, Krypto, and Bizarro

UCS Bat-Pod with Batman, Bane, and Catwoman

Since noone mentioned the very blurry pic of what seems to be Arkham Asylum on IG, I take it it's fake?

Makes sense I guess, since it looks absolutely stunning, but therefor also too good to be true :blush: :tongue:

Not entirely sure what you’re talking about (since Instagram is absolutely terrible for following leaks now that you can’t sort by new). If it’s this one, it’s a fake. https://www.instagram.com/p/DCkN-2Nhc_s/?igsh=MXdqemlsdDJpNHg5eA==
