I thought this piece in green would be perfect. Feels like a bit of a missed opportunity not to change the hairpiece on the classic Joker design.

Concept art for the Lego Batman Movie CMFs actually had Inmate Joker using that hair, so it's definitely crossed their mind at some point. Hopefully we'll see it eventually.

I think i saw this hair in green on a custom joker, wish they would release arkham sets, the batmobile is probs the closest thing we'll ever get, its even more unlikely as the arkham games are over

I think they haven't got license for that. Also, it's 16+.

It's based off Arkham Batman, but I think it's not the same Batman. Or is it?

It seems to be identical to the Batsuit in Arkham Knight

You're right. The helmet should be black, and arms should be gunmetal grey, but the rest of it is actually based on this suit.

I don't know why Lego versions never have Catwoman as an antiheroine. She hasn't been a full on villainess in the comics for almost 30 years. They started making her more of an antiheroine at some point in the mid 80s.

Am I the only one who is wondering what happened to DC Super Hero Girls?  There was supposed to be a set with Starfire in it, and a Supergirl dorm room.  I was really looking forward to them, but there's been no sign of them this year.

It would appear that much like the show it got quietly shelved.

Seriously, have we ever before seen preliminary catalog images of any playsets before their presumed cancellation? That's what I'd like to know, as there was at least one other 2018 set that we only heard rumors of from the City theme, only to never see it unveiled either. :look:

There were also two Star Wars contraction sets that were in the prelims but since the line is all but dead, those appear to have been shelved as well.

It was a Super Battle Droid and a large AT-RT to scale with a buildable figure. I think Lego has done this in the past with cancelled Chima Speedorz as well, so I can believe those sets were canned, sadly.

The Batwing is only available in store and there were about a dozen left in two stores. Dang it.

Ah, yes, now I too remember those two from their preliminary catalog images. So... :sceptic:

Sorry to take us back a little bit, but regarding the three DC Superheroes sets released this year: does anyone know what the three canisters (one came in each set) are supposed to be? I appreciate any help. Thanks!

I wondered  that myself, I assumed it was some sort of kryptonite gas or something, don't know for sure though.

I think if that where the case, there would be a compartment for them to be installed in, which there isn't. They are different colors as well, even though they have similar markings, Lexcorp branded I believe.

You clip them on the exterior.
