well it's important that everyone dig deep and buy the Arkham set if you want more Modulars and more sets in general for the DC theme.  I know that I for one can't handle more Marvel mechs.

Gotta disagree with that, if you want Arkham you should definitely get it. I’m super excited to pick it up this week. But you shouldn’t be under any obligation to dig deep to get a set you don’t really like when we’re talking about £270/$300. The casual market will dictate the set selling not big fans like us

Interesting. I wonder if this means Two Face will be appearing somewhere this year. A remake of the white and black suit is long overdue.

I think it will be whatever Two-Face is in the game. Maybe Batman Forever, as it seems focused on movie designs?
But either way I hope they recolour that hairpiece black, put that on the 2006 one, and I'll have an Arkham Two-Face

Games usually aren’t a great reflection of what we get in terms of sets. For example, Lego Batman 2 reused designs from Lego Batman 1 for Penguin, Mr Freeze, and Scarecrow despite them all appearing in the next wave (you could argue that the designs weren’t ready in time for the game, except both Aquaman and the Bat-Boat appear exactly as they look in the next wave). Beast Boy and Deathstroke look nothing like their Lego Batman 3 variants when they appeared six months later. Nor do the Javelin and Invisible Jet that appeared less than two months after the game’s release. Almost nothing from the 2019 sets ended up making it into Lego DC Supervillians. 

But, even if that was the case, we’ve already seen comic variants in the game, so it’s a moot point. Plus, that hairpiece wouldn’t even work for Batman Forever Two-Face.

Batwing is so popular half the forum mistook him for Batman when he was first leaked and the other half continued mistaking him for Batman for another two weeks afterwards. 

At least his response is more of a "huh, I forgot about that guy" and not being actively disliked by a lot of fans and often canonically the bat-family alike. I still don't understand why they did Batwoman when Spoiler wouldn't even have required a new mold. (Or again, why we got Batwing instead of the more visually distinct Signal... or why we didn't get Nightwing and Red Hood.)

Interesting. So we'll likely get SOMETHING out of this march wave besides batmen and jonklers.

Hard disagree on multiple levels. Unless you have such an absurd amount of disposable income that $300ish is nothing to you (in which case, please send it to me, my uncle is totally  the CEO of lego and I'll 100% pass on the bribe so we get more DC sets), don't spend hundreds of dollars on something you don't want to buy just because it could maybe produce something you DO want to buy down the line. 

But even then, modulars and mechs don't have the same target audience. Even if lego thought that the 18+ crowd buying the modular would translate to the mechs primarily bought by children (Which they likely won't, and rightly so- they are different demos), the best it would be is a mix of Marvel and DC mechs. It's not like a modular selling is going to mean mechs go away.

I want to make a joke about how “Oh, wow, I can’t believe we’re finally getting obscure characters like Two Face” but Two Face has actually been surprisingly absent from the superheroes line. Even during the “golden age” of the theme he only appeared twice in seven years, if you ignore TLBM. The figure we got this year was his first appearance in 6 years. Honestly, a proper comic Two Face would be incredibly welcome.

 The Bruce Wayne polybag seems like a decent opportunity to use some prints that have mostly been in more expensive sets.

I'm hoping for the Paul Atreides/Lucius Malfoy head piece and the recent pinstripe suit torso

Please, anything but the same Kaz/Draco/Happy Hogan/Shang-Chi head they've been using for every Batman minifig.

It was pretty disappointing that they chose his JRJr Rebirth look for the 2019 Batcave, I'd honestly say that the only genuinely good comic Two-Face came out nearly 20 years ago, definitely hoping for the black/white suit to return soon.

In another round of Endgame Final Battle™ sets, of course.

I actually saw someone use this hairpiece for Metallo and it worked great. Allow me to be Elongated Man and stretch this to hint at the Daily Planet. 
 

I am intrigued as to how they use it, though. A classic, BTAS-inspired Two-Face would need the older hairpiece or something like it (in my opinion), so a new design could be interesting.

Following your Daily Planet suggestion, I’m going to Zeta Beam all the way to Rann and suggest:

Why do I have a feeling we aren't gonna get MoT (Man of Tomorrow) sets and the only "tie in" we'll get is a Lex Mech VS Brainiac Mech Battle ft. a Supes minifigure (Brainiac is likely the villain of Mot)

It‘s possible they‘ll get on board with the DCU in time for MoT  Wouldn‘t count on it tho  At least The Batman Part II is almost guaranteed to get sets!

Superman toys and merchandise supposedly sold well and the film itself was the highest grossing CBM of the year by a good margin. 3rd highest grossing domestically and 7th internationally, so far (and now that the summer is over, that’s not likely to change). Lego would be stupid not to make at least one set based on the sequel.

 

[DaredevilFan]

“It’s a story about Lex Luthor and Superman having to work together to a certain degree against a much, much bigger threat,” Is what Gunn has said. I mean come one Superman, lex in his war suit (new mech build), most likely Brainaic as villain, Justice gang, Krypto again perhaps. After the success of Superman, I think at least 1 set will be made

Carterbrick’s posted that 76330 will be a 20th anniversary set for LEGO Batman. Interested to know what that means, perhaps a set remake? Maybe they’ll remake OG Batman minifig like Star Wars

That’s the set we all assumed was a logo, yes?

Seems like a Batman logo with a handful of minifigures would fit that description.

To connect with other anniversary sets it'll be a logo with a 2006 batman, Golden Batman, and the Juniors batman most recently in the arkham set.

The emblem would make too much sense. It’ll just be the word Batman brickbuilt.

 

Now, is it just me or do you see potential in this becoming a mech set?

No. You’re right. It makes too much sense for Lego to do.

So word on the street is that Paramount’s looking to buy Warner Bros.

 

What would this mean for the DC theme? Seeing how the only Paramount license Lego currently has is Transformers, and that’s just Icons.

Probably will have a bigger impact on the DCU than anything else, tbh. And I’d be surprised if there were even many changes there.

Not much directly, all depends on what media they produce.

Doesn't Paramount have star trek? Or do they just have the rights to show it on streaming?

I mean- obviously, this means Lego Indiana Jones (but only the distribution rights so the sets are, like, mosaics of the dvd covers) and Lego Mission Impossible return, and that we're finally getting the Bay Harbor Brick Separator.

Watch the plan reset for like the 5th time in a decade. Is that right? Snyder plan, hastily re-done sanitized MCUDCEU, Hamada's "10 year plan based on batman, superman, and wonder woman" (why couldn't we get this), Gunnverse. Am I missing one? I think I'm missing one.

Right. I was hesitant to count all the little serfdoms popping out of the "Snyder plan isn't working, scrap it and MCUify" approach, but the Rock Cinematic Universe was definitely notable enough. So if Paramount wants to clean the slate again, that'll be 6. And if they do the same "we're counting select parts of the last universe" thing, it'll be the fifth consecutive universe to fail to make a clean break. (The 10 year plan seemed like it would have been, but didn't get any scripts made as far as we know, much less any projects released)
