DC Superheroes 2026 - Rumors & Discussion

That new garbage monster head mold would be perfect for a minifig scaled clayface

[calebcold3]

I'm starting to think that IF we any other sets for the year, it will just be only one set and, that one set will be a D2C that will be released in like the Fall.

And I feel like the D2C would be the Battinson-Mobile with a reuse of the 2026 Battinson Minifigure (but with a rubber cape) and Alfred (using reused pieces) 

I just.. don't see us getting any other retail sets for the rest of the year, which is unfortunate, as I was thinking we'd get a set or two during the summer, but I feel like we would've found out by now if we were.

That’s not a new piece, it was introduced for Vidiyo in 2021 and has since been used in Dreamzzz sets  If they really wanted to use it for Clayface, they would’ve done so already.

If it had a batmobile yes.  Lego clearly only sees Batman as the main money bank,  such a shame when you see the love Marvel gets for there sets.

Lol I realized this the moment after I posted this. I think I didn't realize because it was the first time I saw it in an opaque color. I did a quick photoshop to see it in a color that is closer to clayface, and now I'm bummed we haven't gotten him yet.

I think the same could be said for literally any other theme, there’s so much wasted potential. I wonder what made them stick to just Batman?

Batman: stonks 📈

Anyone else: not stonks 📉

The true answer is probably a bit more complicated, but this is what it boils down to. The DCEU killed movie tie-in sets, which in turn meant fewer new DC characters getting exposed to kids, reducing their chances of being featured in sets, leaving the only DC character everyone and their granny recognises as such, Batman.

And they likely stopped adding other DC characters to Batman sets because they don’t impact sales, meaning they can save money if a Batmobile with and without [insert non-Batman character] sells about the same.

Granted, this is all speculation, but I’d say it tracks. Orrrrrrrr, TLG actually hate DC and its fans with a passion and put together a diabolical plan together with their evil Didney overlords to destroy DC forever

So we’re supposedly getting a remote control Tumbler 😂😂 719 pieces and $180. I would hope that’s not our last set of the year but it probably is

Also, it’s a Technic set  I have a feeling it’s the summer set we’ve been hearing about

It’s insane that every single set this year (besides the logo) is a Batmobile??? At least last year we had Superman mech

Don’t we supposedly still have a DC D2C coming later in the year? 🤔

According to the new leaker (I forget his name but he's the new guy that has been backed up by other reliable sources), it's the only DC set we're getting this summer.

Beyond the four in March, the only set this year we heard rumours about was the one in summer, which now turned out to be the Technic Tumbler

Abandon all hope ye who enter here.

Man, this has to be the most pathetic 20th anniversary wave Lego has ever produced for a theme.

Yeah, this cannot be denied. I’m glad they acknowledge it at all and the the four March sets are really well-designed, but it pales in comparison to every other anniversary out there  SW 20th got a wave of throwback sets and reprints of classic minifigs, SW 25th featured long-requested minifigs, HP 20th had multiple golden minifigs and chocolate frog cards, HP 25th has multiple patroni and an 18+ set, and Ninjago 10th and 15th have golden minifigs and new characters respectively.

DC 20th on the other hand just gets a golden tile in each set plus a golden Batman  Could be worse though! Marvel got nothing in 2022

Well, I wouldn’t say that Marvel got nothing in 2022, they just didn’t get an anniversary wave.

Think you just killed it 🤣🤣

In all fairness though, the tumbler might be a nice addition to the other 10+ tumblers we have

This one is different from the others. It has a remote control feature that won’t work all that well. But it’s not like you can just buy an RC Tumbler at a fraction of the cost and without the worry of it falling apart if you wanted to actually do something like race it or drive it outside.

I'm now convinced the lego marketing team is against DC. no Superman sets and Fantastic 4 gets a robot build,  wtf man, at least release a Krypto dog build. Superman was the highest grossing movie between DC and Marvel last year 

also the tease for the expansion packs for the game with the 3 different Batmobiles would of , could still make it.

 

shame on Lego!

In their defense, Herbie will likely appear in Doomsday, justifying that choice ^^

But yeah, the DCU getting completely ignored is a huge shame

In Lego’s defense, sets are designed over a year in advance, so the success of Superman over Fantastic Four wasn’t known when the set was designed. And actually, projections had Fantastic Four doing better up until the film actually hit theaters so Lego would have been justified in assuming that film would do better.

If we do see anything from the success of Superman, it won’t be until next year. But given the Superman mech retired after only one year, I really don’t have high hopes.

Now that you brought it up, a buildable Krypto with a Superman figure seems like a no-brainer.

that same old story,  Iets see next year. FYI, the mechs have a shelf life of 1 year it goes for Marvel as well. 

 

the fact there is no Modular yet and they had to get a set under another sub theme ( technic) bedazzles me. 

maybe they do another tin set megazine for Supergirl.

Aside from the Arkham D2C does anyone know the last time we actually got a dc play set?
