    The Plot thickens. As everyone’s favourite ketamine frog once said: “If into the security recordings you go, only stupid you will find.”

    Since you appear to be asking for wish lists and whatnot, here’s my predictions for DCU sets (If Superman does well next year)

    2026

    The Authority (I hope this is replaced with another thing like Teen Titans or Green Lantern Corps): No sets as they’re unknown and hyper violent characters.

    Peacemaker S2: no sets

    2027

    Brave and Bold: 3-5 sets each one including Batman and another member of the Batfamily.

    Lanterns: 1 comic-based tie in set with Hal Jordan, John Stewart and Sinestro. (I feel like this has better chance than the other shows as Green Lantern is a iconic member of the Justice League)

    2028

    Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow (I honestly think this slot should be taken by a Wonder Woman film): 2-3 sets.

    Teen Titans: 2-3 sets and a Titans tower as that year’s D2C Superheroes Modular .

    Booster Gold: Maybe 1 set. (I could see them maybe instead doing him in a minifigure pack with other TV show characters like Peacemaker.)

    Beyond

    Swamp Thing, Waller and Creature Commandos are definitely not getting sets.

     

    This seem accurate? Or am I stupid? 
    Let me know if I missed any projects out.

    I think you'll get your wish, the Authority is likely delayed as when Gunn was asked about why it's not casted he said  “We won’t green light a film until we have a finished script we’re happy with and, in general, we won’t cast a film until the script is finished.This is why some projects are moving faster than anticipated and others more slowly. It’s always gonna be quality first no matter what."

    Supergirl, I believe, has had pretty consistent updates, I'd imagine that's more likely to be next after Superman

    Every time I think I have a grasp on LEGO DC they throw a new curveball, why do they just refuse to make Robin? Like I can follow their mindset for why they don't do other DC characters or even certain core Batman characters like Two Face but why haven't they done robin since 2020? Every one of these Nostalgic Batvehicles D2C's has at least 2 figures but they straight up just include a figure we've had before on it's own for a two seater Batvehicle.

    I mean, if Marvel plummets so badly that the newest MCU movies are less culturally relevant than Batman 89, 66, and TAS then there might be some truth to that? Oh, and if everyone on earth forgets that Spider-Man exists. 

    Not really the point but I'm pretty sure all three of those Batman properties are more culturally relevant than stuff like Shang Chi, Black Widow, The Marvels etc due to how much of them is just known through cultural osmosis. Obviously that doesn't translate to toy sales but there are more people aware of all the iconography of the 60s Batman without ever seeing it than people who could name you a single member of the Eternals or the secret identity of Ironheart

    I hate the buildable Bat vehicles. Very few figures, out of scale, and usually in reference to vehicles we’ve already gotten at a figures scale. I agree it’s very probably that the set will be an oversized vehicle. Still, I have hope they may choose to surprise us, especially if they did rush to produce a large set, maybe it was to address customer concerns about the theme? Probably not, but it’d be nice if this set came out of left field, and gave us several new characters, and an exciting build at their scale. We’ll see.

    I think if it is DC it's almost certainly the BtAS batmobile. The fact Mr Freeze was supposed to be in the skyline and now is in a different set I think it'd make a lot of sense for them to put the figure that really only appeals to hardcore fans in that one and it'd be so in character for LEGO to decided to decide to do the skyline first, then when they decide to add a couple bonus BtAS sets just pillaging figures from the first set instead of making new characters to be the exclusives

    NGL, I think past a certain point LEGO DC's failure have been almost entirely due to LEGO's mismanagement. Like there's the obvious things like the WW84 set, the roster for the CMF, etc but also Batman is so popular and has such a diverse cast he could absolutely hold an actual regular theme if LEGO didn't constantly handicap themselves. We talk a lot here about how kid's need a DC cartoon for them to care about Batman but hundreds of non-LEGO Batman toys thrive to this day. I mean sure kids now play the Arkham games and there's a million of those 'sigma male grindset' videos for sexist 12 year olds based around the Bale films but surely those aren't what keep Batman products moving, I think if they just did a handful of distinct colourful sets with various Batvehicles and villains they'd do better than coasting off nostalgia for the guy from The Flash. Maybe it's just what I've seen but I swear to god the tie in sets for half the Marvel movies now seem to never leave store shelves

    Is it possible to get residence of Gotham City? For example I just bought Scaregrow (Luigi's Pizza). It would be interesting to get a pizzeria and that Luigi figure. In the cellar of pizzeria could be Carmine Falcone & Scaregrow treasure hideout for example.

    Yes, absolutely. LEGO will definitely make a DC set of Luigi's Pizzeria, they won't even include Batman just Luigi, (maybe with a vacuum cleaner or a mushroom)  Falcone and Polka dot man's two henchmen from Detective comics 300

    I dunno. Last time they did SS harley quinn they had to put her in a giant set from an unrelated film. 

     That said, my want for it to contain some of the DCEU league might be clouding my judgement. We all know if we did get it, it'd include BvS batman and SS Jonkler.

    Even with their Joker obsession they are not touching Jared Leto's one, potentially the biggest punching bag in CBM history played by the only DC actor who can Rival Ezra with the amount of shady shit they're involved in with merch of him still clogging up stores to this day. He's like a perfect storm of reasons for LEGO to stay away.

    The LEGO Movie set really only makes it more likely they'd do Harley, they decided years after the original film she was popular enough to put in a unrelated set. Though I will reiterate that I do not think there's a chance they do any DCEU sets due to how that's the franchise that put LEGO DC in the hole it's in now

    I feel like this is a possibility, if we're continuing from getting the 66 Batmobile, TDK tumbler, Burtonmobile, and BTAS mobile in the past 5 years. I wouldn't say we have a high chance of it, just due to how controversial the DCEU has been, but maybe. If we do get it, it'd be based on either BvS or the Josstice league cut though, which is unfortunate. A DCEU Batmobile with Black Suit Supeman and a proper steppenwolf would have been awesome.

    Also worth noting that DCEU sets selling like they did is likely the main reason the LEGO DC line is what it is today, they are not touching those films again anytime soon. If they did do one though it'd probably loosely based on Suicide Squad as aside the only other DCEU figure I could see them thinking would be worth producing other than a Batman would be another Margot's Harley. Genuinely probably more chance of them doing a Batmanless set than that

    I don't think so. DC's generally pretty good about keeping their characters in a wide variety of stuff- Harley Quinn's in a good number of R/MA projects, but she's still popular enough in general to get figures. Darkseid's a big bad, so one R-rated film won't stop him. Polka Dot Man's more obscure, but you also have to think about parents. I doubt enough know him to be concerned that the character was in a DC set, and since he's not exclusive to mature material, it should be fine. Unlike, say, deadpool, who's in a lot of stuff but almost exclusively known for being crass and violent.

    That's a good point, though the thing that makes me wonder is Daredevil, the show was popular but not the only thing he was known for. I feel most parents wouldn't know the name or would think of him as just 'the blind superhero' as he was one of the few Marvel characters outside the usual Spider-man, X-men, Fantastic Four that regular people knew of before the MCU. It's definitely not on the level of Deadpool where everyone is aware from the name that it's the R rated superhero

    This Joker talk has got me thinking, do we think there are any DC characters who LEGO would no longer be willing to put in regular sets? Because with Marvel Deadpool and Daredevil are now limited to exclusive figures or 18+ sets even for comic based versions of them, do you think characters like Polka dot man or Darkseid would now be similarly limited if LEGO wanted to include them due to how they're mainly tied to an R rated film?

    I am afraid TLG won't realise more BTAS sets, and NO TNBA sets at all... :cry_sad:

    I wish they'd at least do a set with Robin, with both the animated series and the '66 show the image of Batman and Robin hopping in the car together and driving off is the image that stays in my mind of their Batmobiles. It feels odd to not include him.

     There was- technically speaking- and it did release around the same time as some JL sets- but the episodes were only around 10 minutes, it was a pretty low-budget affair, and it either released on youtube, or was released poorly enough/did poorly enough that DC was fine releasing the entire series on youtube fairly quickly after official release.

     So I guess I should clarify- I think they need a normal budget, quality justice league/batman cartoon out with a wide release.

    I know Marvel sets used to be loosely based on the cartoons for a while back there but I really feel like this wouldn't help. How popular has Teen Titans Go been for over a decade and they've not done any unofficial tie ins. I don't think that even if they had another popular cartoon LEGO would keep just doing nostalgic Batman sets

    I don’t see why either or those should stop Lego when we’ve gotten March Harriett (escort), Killer Croc (cannibal), etc. I’d argue the bigger issue is neither one of them has gotten much exposure.

    TBF neither of those are even remotely as vile or poisonous to marketability as being a p*do. Granted I doubt that's the actual reason that Mad Hatter is never included as he's in all the games, though he wasn't even in TLBM so there is almost certainty something more to his exclusion than just not thinking he'd sell

    Buildable figures though, I really can't seem to find the demo they're going for there.

    LEGO doesn't target us generally with most their products, I get that, however the various types of buildable figures are the one aspect of their line-up that I genuinely think has no substantial audience. They always languish on shelves, it really confuses me. You can still find those Star Wars ones in toy stores, how many times are they gonna try this before it clicks?
