DC Superheroes 2025 - Rumors & Discussion

[spiderfan2000]

For another comparison, Across the Spider-Verse was released in June 2023, but didn't get a single set until January of this year. So early 2027 for Superman set(s) seems like a reasonable guess if LEGO gets started on development now.

I’m hoping that with the positive reaction to Superman and perceived excitement for Supergirl, since the latter is a year away, LEGO will try to get some sets in around next year. 
 

A Clayface minifigure has long been wanted, and he’ll be getting his own movie next year, too. Aside from that fact that it’ll be a horror movie, this would be the perfect chance to finally get him, at least as a comic set tie-in.

Amazing how this thread has kept pace with the Marvel one just off us talking about how much Lego hates DC.

It was insane when the Aslume thread kept pace with the 2024 Marvel one just off us jonkling off topic. To be blunt, it’s outstanding that this thread can keep pace just because of one movie that didn’t get any sets.

Haven’t seen the movie yet, but that wishlist @CloneCommando99 dreamed up sounds exciting enough, even to an extremely ignorant fan of DC. Hope for the best… and I always wish I could send off with “Excelsior” but this ain’t Marvel!

Its only doing well in the US

Out of the US, not so much....

it already made more than it cost to make, it is projected to end it's run on 600 million. WB considers it a success 

Also, no DC sets in January 2026 :( all those superhero set numbers are Marvel

No DC sets in January?!

It's getting so much worse. Is this theme actually dead?

LEGO DC IS BACK…to 2009

I’d love it if the YouTubers, in their next interview with the Lego superheroes team, could ask them about all of this. I’d be very curious to hear their rationale behind these baffling decisions

DC’s last six films all bombed at the box office. Marvel is releasing a sequel to the highest grossing film ever next year. As much as it sucks, it’s not hard to understand why DC is getting shafted next year.

I do agree with this, but I still find it baffling that we got sets for 2025 and not 2026 when the only difference is that between them, we would have actual DC content for 2026. 
Hopefully the summer wave will be better (assuming there’s nothing in the spring).

Marketing has to be taken into account too not just the budget, plus that budget might not even be the real one, there was a UK tax thing that said it was 300M

I think the lack of sets for next year has more to do with Lego prioritizing Doomsday over everything else. There’s something like 60 named characters that we know are going to be in there. That’s a lot of minifigures. We certainly won’t be getting all of them. But, even if we get 20, that’s a lot of the budget for superheroes. Cuts need to be made somewhere. Makes sense they’re made to DC.

Also, as for 2026 content, we’re talking about Supergirl and Green Lantern. They’re certainly not nobodies, but they’re also not characters I’d expect sets for (especially when Superman can’t get more than a comic tie in).

Anyway as someone who loved Man Of Steel, Batman V Superman and ZSJL, I really loved this new Superman film, hope we really see more from this universe

I love The Batman 2022 and Battinson and I'd wonder if there is a possibility to him joining the DCU although I prefer to keep him grounded

Also no DC sets in January is so sad but expected, and I don't want to hear the excuse of the movies did bad, old movies and comics exist

I'm grateful for a new Arkham at least

I hope they put a ridiculous amount of budget into the 78 different figures needed, it takes up the entire year's budget then the sets flop horribly. I think that'd be the funniest scenario. Does so catastrophically poorly, on like a sub-Galidor level, so all of Superheroes bar Spider-Man 4+ sets is folded into icons.

love this, vent the sheer frustration that DC fans have, and stop telling us the same old BS story.

Is DC getting no sets next year then or do we only know about the jan wave? if theres nothing in the summer even a 4+ set thats worrying

Nothing in January for sure. Supposedly there could be 4 in summer, but they could also be Doomsday sets.

But it’s Lego DC, so expect the worst and you’ll only be disappointed a little.
