DC Superheroes 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

[THELEGOBATMAN]

This sounds awesome. Already more minifigures than I expected—hope not too many of them are in orange jumpsuits; and please, make some fresh prints and use interesting pieces, I really don't want to see the same Joker and Riddler again.

Can't wait to see the whole set.

BWHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA.

[DaredevilFan]

Read that Ivy and Croc are suppose to be in jumpsuits but both have new faces prints. I’m also thinking with how much Lego love to reuse prints, perhaps some could be reused as full minifigs in later sets…if we get later sets 

[THELEGOBATMAN]

Excited to see how they tackle most of the villains. At this point, they don't have any prints to reuse—it's been so long since we got most of them, even comic versions of Jonkler and Harley Quinn.

Hope Scarecrow is inspired by the Arkham Knight version; also want to see how they handle minifig Bane and Killer Croc. Sucks that Poison Ivy has a jumpsuit though, it'd be cool to see her whole suit (I imagine she'll be really bland without any green).

Honestly, as much as I like Batwoman and Batwing, I'd prefer some more relevant members like Nightwing, and Batgirl (Cassandra) or even Spoiler. Still, glad we're getting a Robin. Hope Batman gets a new suit (please please please be blue and grey).

[Legoman123]

Where is this information? From what I’m gathering there is no new villains then which to me is an absolute joke.  I wasn’t asking for much, just Black Mask and more importantly which seems to have been requested a lot Ventriloquist and Scarface. 

[BatDeanj]

Its on the brick tap discord. 

Batman
Robin
Batwoman
Batwing
Joker
Harley Quinn
Catwoman
Mr Freeze
Penguin
Poison ivy
Riddler
Scarecrow
Bane 
Killer Croc
2 guards

the building is on a baseplate and an "inverter corner" shape.
Also I think there was rumour of ivy and croc in jumpsuits at least


I'm interested to see how they do this they can only reuse batman, joker, mr freeze and maybe Harley. Everyone else will get new prints or purist.

Penguin and Catwoman are weird choices, they are not mentally insane to be in an asylum and they cant be reused we haven't had them since 2020. 
They should have been mad hatter and ventriloquist 
and I'm surprised there isn't more staff even Harleen or Professor Strange

Jonkler was just in a juniors set last year (https://brickset.com/sets/76272-1/The-Batcave-with-Batman-Batgirl-and-The-Joker) (oddly, already discontinued) and Harley could reuse the head from her BtAS as a comic figure. Ivy will probably just use a generic female head, if I had to guess, which is disappointing because I’ve been waiting for them to give us a green skin variant for the past decade.

A remake of the 2006 and 2012 waves for next year would be great way to revive the theme. Something along the lines of:

- GL mech with Jon Stewart and Hal Jordan ($10)

- 4+ Batcycle with Catwoman ($20)

- Batboat with Killer Croc ($35)

- Lex Luthor mech with Superman and Supergirl ($50)

- Batwing with Joker and Harley and Helicopter ($60)

- Batmobile with Robin and Two Face and his truck ($80)

- Batcave with Batgirl, Robin, Riddler, and Bane ($120)

Sounds awesome!  Kinda disappointing that Batwing is the only new character here, but it‘s nice to see so many villains finally making a return. And they remembered that Robin exists!!

There's one problem with this list—it sounds awesome, and LEGO DC is currently the exact opposite of that.

Pretty funny that the only new fig is Batwing of all characters. Pretty meh list overall. Nothing to get overly excited about (although I’m praying for a cool Scarecrow) but considering the state of the theme, I was expecting way worse.

At this point, I think we need to let go of the idea that Lego will make a Mad Hatter, they don't even want to make the Disney version for some reason. It's been nearly 20 years since the first Lego Batman game and he's still the only main villain from all 3 gangs that hasn't been made...and it's not looking good. However, thanks to the Wicked sets, we finally have the most important piece needed in Dark Green so a purist version can easily be put together now (that's my plan at least anyways). The rest of the lineup was expected with the usual suspects, though it's great to finally get a new Croc and Bane after almost a decade. I'm hoping they're both big figs but there's no way that Lego will throw in 2 of them in a single set, so one of them is going to end up being a minifigure, if not both. Maybe it's just my nostalgia for the OG Batman theme talking (that's also turning 20 next year), but I wouldn't be so torn up about it.

Batwing and Batwoman being included instead of Nightwing and Batgirl are interesting choices, I would've killed to finally get a blue Nightwing that has arm printing with the blue stripes instead of completely blue/black arms. Knowing Lego, they included them here as a tie-in to the CW Batwoman show despite that being cancelled for 3 years now. Now I really want to see what the actual Asylum will look like. Based on the minifigures it seems pretty much confirmed that it's going to be a comic Arkham so that rumor about it being based on the Burton/Schumacher films can finally be put to rest, thank god.

[CF Mitch]

That is a great minifigure lineup!

I feel kinda bad for those two security guards though  

Do you think Bane and Croc will be bigfigs again? Bane I can understand being a regular fig (or maybe they finally figured out some mid-thingy) but Croc... well, I guess he could go either way as well.

Regards,
Mitch

Not too happy about the jumpsuits for Ivy and Croc

Maybe their normal torso/legs will also be included?

Also, why is the Penguin in Arkhham?

We should have taken the hint when The Lego Batman Movie included an escort and a r@p157 but not him. I guess the whole p3d0ph1l3 thing is where Lego (quite understandably) draws the line.

Maybe he’s breaking the others out? Or, more likely, Lego doesn’t care and just sticks everyone in Arkham whether they belong or not.

I fear they may use this torso for him 🤢🤢🤮🤮

Oh, totally forgot about LEGO Godzilla. It's probably a 2026 set though, no?

Ideas takes forever, my preferred strategy is forgetting the set exists, failing to budget for it, and then missing my chance to buy it.

Looks like Batsignal is the only new character which is kinda disappointing. Also kinda odd that he made the cut over characters like Cass, Steph, and Azrael. Must be one of the designers favorites.

No, no, no. Batsignal would at least have been an interesting suit design and a likeable character (At least from, like, the four panel scans I've seen of him alongside the Wayne Family webcomic my brother reads). Batwing is like the blandest possible choice. The fact that his torso and legs leaked via being placed on a batman is the perfect example of this. You could easily have told me that was the new batsuit and I wouldn't have batted (hah) an eye.

There are so many jokes I could make about the set including 2 officer Balls, but I'll leave it be.

I think a lot of the jumpsuited characters are being done so they're able to get away with re-uses. I wouldn't be surprised if Ivy didn't have a single exclusive part and was just some redheaded woman in a jumpsuit. (And since I know it's coming, no, @BrickBob Studpants, that doesn't make her Mara Jade)

I'm gonna be real here, I don't know how popular this is, but I don't. They're my two least favorite members of the batfamily. Characters that would have been better inclusions then them:

Nightwing

Red Hood

Drake

Whatever stupid name Damien goes by besides robin, don't lie to me, they have to have given him one by now

Spoiler

Orphan 

Signal

Azreal (the sick templar design)

Azreal (The weird 90s transformer looking batman design)

Alfred packing a shotgun

Commissioner Gorden

Lucius Fox

(If Red Hood is included) Artemis

(If Red Hood is included) Bizarro

Glup Shitto

Ronin

Stealth Suit Cap

Mara Jade

To be fair this mistake isn't unique to lego, a lot of people forget that he is just a mentally sound (I mean, at least without diagnosed severe mental illness. No one who voluntarily fights batman is mentally well) dude who just also enjoys crime half the time.

At this point it's become a running joke with all the 'main' Arkham sets (I'm not counting the 4+ version even though they included his hat as an easter egg). Though Penguin is probably the most 'sane' big name Batman villain and usually goes to Blackgate with the other inmates who aren't criminally insane, he had his own cell nametag sticker in the 2006 Arkham despite not appearing in the set, he showed up in the 2013 Arkham, the 2017 TLBM Arkham, and now this one.

As funny as this is, it’s not exactly true. The 2017 TLBM Arkham set didn’t include Penguin. But he was included in his Arkham jumpsuit with the ultimate collection book.

But, while we’re talking about Penguin, we need to talk about Poison Ivy. She was included in the 2006 Arkham, the 2013 Arkham, the 2017 Arkham, and now the 2025 Arkham. This makes her the ONLY character to be included in every Arkham set (ignoring that Juniors wall from 2019). She has only been included in three sets that are not Arkham. The first of these was in the 2012 Batcave where she was being illegally held in a cage. Not much of a step up, tbh. The second was the Scuttler where she finally regained some dignity. Which she immediately lost in the third set where she decided to team up with Firefly (somehow not the dumbest team up she has been in). What is she doing?! IS SHE STUPID???

We will not stand for this Jarro erasure!

But I agree. Batwing before Spoiler and Orphan especially is weird. 
 

I’m glad the set has more than ten minifigures, though no new villains is a disappointment, especially if they’re using jumpsuits. I can appreciate that most of the villains included have not been available for years, so for someone who got into LEGO in the past few years, this will be most welcome, but still, one new villain couldn’t have hurt. Now let’s see how good the build is.
 

Hopefully this leads to a wave of at least Batman sets with these villains, which will then hopefully lead to more. We need a DC Rebirth™.

If Jarro shows up he WILL be a print on a 1x1 clear round brick, we all know it's coming.

What is the legality of this play feature in general? 

There are only three situations I can see wherein Bruce has a legal basis for essentially kidnapping her:

1. Ivy was detained whilst attempting to break into the batcave and the GCPD have been contacted for pickup/for batman to drop her off

2. Ivy was detained elsewhere as a fugitive of the law or whilst committing a crime, but there was sufficient evidence the GCPD was compromised and Batman had to hold her before delivering her to federal authorities.

3. Bruce Wayne owns a private prison beneath Wayne Manor and all the forms are in order. Ivy was captured elsewhere and legally transferred in.

 

Of course, if this is 60s batman, a deputized officer of the law, we can assume the batcave is considered a police station of some kind, and therefore holding Ivy inside is perfectly above board.

TLDR, we are criminals, Alfred, we've always been criminals. Except for Adam West.

Whoops. Meant to say only villain, not character. Then again, he apparently kidnapped Poison Ivy, so maybe he is a villain.

Well, I guess it depends on what version of the character we're dealing with

Batman Returns' Penguin for sure was Arkham material

But the BTAS version was not

I feel like what makes Penguin who he is is that he's just a truly despicable human being. Not insane, not deranged—just a greedy man who doesn't really value human life, even if he says otherwise.

He knows exactly what he's doing and that's why he's a compelling character imo; but yeah, it all depends on the writer.

[calebcold3]

Wow! A ton of new versions of characters we haven't gotten in years! It would be cool if LEGO made a wave of sets next year for people to get them cheaper than spending $300..
