i have a feeling this is gonna be one of those figs that go for like $30 on BrickLink and Ebay. We've officially got a replacement for Deadpool. Who am I kidding, you can't replace Deadpool.

The name of the set that Riddler comes in has me hoping its a location build (its called The Riddler Heist), or at the very least something similar to the 2012 Two Face set with the little bank build.

I just find it funny that the bootleggers are so desperate to get the knockoff sets on shelves that they are willing to throw out anything they can think of. It seems that Lego is starting to win the war against them.

I honestly don’t know how ANYONE could think this is a real Lego set. Even if you don’t notice the two Infinity Gauntlets, the small-headed Thanos, the random purple monsters, or even the fact its $300, it literally shows the bootlegers logo right there. At least its entertaining to watch this “leaked” set gain traction so fast.

I just saw that pic on Zusammengebaut and thought it might be from the Toy Fair last week. Although I would assume that the Toy Fair would have had its own Batman exhibit (or whatever you want to call it), considering a lot of major toy companys are making Batman 80th Anniversary stuff, plus it seems to be made out of Lego bricks, so I just put some dots together and came to a very loose conclusion. I guess we won't get any confirmation on anything until the sets are officially revealed in a couple of weeks. Actually, I just found the life-size Batmobile in full-view, so I guess its not just an enlarged Lego set. Turns out this Lego Designer made this way back when (like 2015).

I would also like to point out in the background of the Batmobile pic, you can see the 2003 Batsuit on display. Perhaps its a small confirmation that this is the design we’ll be getting in the summer sets.

Same. I’d much rather Lego do their own thing and just use the movies and tv shows as inspiration. I have a feeling thats what they’re going to do anyways, since Clayface has never attacked the Batcave from what I know. Also, just about every other company making 80th Anniversary Batman stuff is going to do it with something from each movie, and Lego probably wants to do something different than that, just to stand out a bit. And I heard the sets are to be released in June, and last year’s sets were released in August and revealed in mid-April, so if they reveal the 2019 summer sets 2 months ahead of April that would be sometime during February. So keep your eyes open.

Can anyone confirm if this pic shown on Zusammengebaut is taken from Nuremberg Toy Fair 2019. If so, then we get a very good look at the backside the Batmobile.

I personally think the women heads are Anna from Frozen and Moana from well... Moana. I have no clue who the tan guy with the goatee is, though. My first guess was Happy Hogan, but that didn't seem quite right. My only possible guess now would be a new character from Toy Story 4 or Star Wars that we haven't been introduced to yet.

I could see them doing another lazy-susan for the Batmobile in the new Batcave. Hopefully them make this Batmobile more compact (6 studs wide, with up to 16 studs in length would be ideal). But, considering this set is rumored to only be $100, I'd find it less likely then some other potential play-features.

Maybe Lego chooses not to do stuff like the Hall of Justice or Titans Tower because they don't want the sets to be compared to the other toy company's stuff, like Fisher Price (that would be quite an insult). It could also be that they like to wait until the Justice League's popularity is at a high (not like in November 2017), to attract more people to buy these sets for their kids (or if you're like me, for yourself). That wouldn't really explain why they haven't done anything with the Teen Titans besides a few of them in Jokerland and a couple more in Dimensions, seeing as there are now 3 shows that circle around the Teen Titans or at least the core members. And correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't they also bringing back the original Teen Titans show from 2006? That would make 4 shows, so its pretty likely that a kid or adult would watch at least one of them.

These set names sound interesting (especially the Clayface one), but I think its a little too early to start making judgments on these sets. I'm going to wait until we get some reveals (or some leaks, if I'm desperate enough) before I decide whether or not these will be worth buying. If you all remember, it was March last year when we got leaked pics of the Summer Wave, and it was mid-April when we got official images, so it'll probably be a while before we hear or see anything new. In the meantime, is there any word on a Shazam set?

I would be really surprised if they didn’t do anything at all for Shazam. This is probably DC’s most kid-friendly movie they made in a long time, so you’d think they would want to capitalize on that and make a bunch of toys for the movie. I haven’t lost hope yet, though. Maybe we’ll see something in the London Toy Fair in the next couple of days (a new LM2 set just got revealed from there, so fingers crossed).

I don't really see a problem with "dollhouse" D2Cs. Often times they include some creative and unique building styles. For example: Joker Manor is an excellent set that has nice little details for everyone, but its also a somewhat challenging build. I also have a soft spot for 10937 Arkham Asylum Breakout (mostly for sentimental reasons, but still) I understand why it may be disappointing not to get modular buildings for Superhero D2Cs, but maybe Lego is evolving to the point were they can do whatever they want with the Superheroes line. I mean, Sanctum Sanctorum from the Infinity War wave was the closest we've gotten to a modular building (and that came out not even a year ago), and remember Mighty Micros? or what about Brick Heads? I'm just saying don't give up hope yet, maybe someday we can all get the Wayne Manor or GCPD set we all crave.

I know I'm a bit late for this (and I'd hate to go on a rant), but in 76117 Batman Mech vs. Poison Ivy Mech, wouldn't it make more sense to include Martian Manhunter instead of Flash with yellow boots? I'm pretty sure one of Martian Manhunter's weaknesses is fire, and Firefly is also included in the set, so if they wanted to make things even between the good guys and the bad guys in the set, they did it wrong with Flash. Plus Martian Manhunter is due for a redesign, so its really a wasted opportunity. Also, Reverse Flash is now unbalanced with the new Flash, since Reverse Flash doesn't have duel molded boots and Flash does. But I guess if you have the set with Reverse Flash you would also get regular Flash without duel molded boots. Its just little details like this that really annoy me.

Maybe someday...

Often times they include minifigs excusively in Juniors sets (Green Goblin, Doc Ock, Robin), so a classic Joker design or atleast some pre-52 designs wouldn’t be too unlikely IMO.

I really wouldn't be against a complete redesign, since its something new that we haven't seen. I was actually quite surprised when the new Aquaman fig leaked, since I thought it was just gonna be the minifig we've gotten in 2013 and 2015. I'm a big fan of what they did in the December wave of Spiderman sets. I'm just hoping that whatever they do to the designs, they do it good. I'm still praying for a new Superman and the Hush Batsuit sometime in the next year. I don't think it would really be asking a lot out of Lego to do just a normal Two-Face. I agree that the last two designs for him were way too unorthodox for my taste (although I have made a pretty decent custom using the 2012 headpiece and hair, the Beetlejuice torso, and plain black legs). I'm really hoping they either do the black and white design (something like B:TAS or the Arkham Games) or the Rebirth design. The Rebirth design is a lot more likely to me, just because its simple and up-to-date with the comics design.

Maybe the War Machine Crusher is just a recolored Hulkbuster. If thats the case, I think I'll wait for a good sale on it, since I just got the Hulkbuster not 7 months ago.

Just for context, the most recent design for Two-Face is the Rebirth design, and it was used in DC Supervillains. I believe this is the most likely design we will be getting in the rumored Batcave set next summer. I could be wrong though, Lego redesigned every minifig in the December 2018 wave of Spiderman sets (Spider-Gwen, Green Goblin, Spiderman, even Aunt May), when they could have as easily used the designs from Marvel Superheroes 2. For all I know they could be giving us the Two-Face from Batman Forever. Thank you for reminding me that Batman And Robin really exists. I literally went months without thinking about how Batman carries around a credit card with his logo on it.

3 months is still too long of a wait for me.

I could definitely see the D2C being a big Batmobile (not minifig scale), like 7784 from 2006. But @_dimaks_lego said that 76139 was at least a bat-vehicle, so for all I know it could be anything from the Batwing to the Bat-Kayak.

I feel like Penguin from TLBM is almost a direct copy of Penguin from Batman Returns, so I wouldn’t really be upset if we didn’t get him in one of these sets. But literally any other character would be nice. I would especially be happy if they do a Jack Nicholson Joker using Grand Moff Tarkin’s/Peter Venkman’s hairpiece in green

I think these sets are probably going to be based on Batman and Gotham City, but they’ll also include other heroes and villains. Basically the same formula as the January wave of sets, with both sets having Bat-Vehicles, but including characters like Firefly and Ocean Master. I really wouldn’t be against this, as long as it shows Batman in his full glory (hopefully wearing his Hush batsuit) and they include some nice builds. If anything this would help the design of the set, since using all the DC characters would give the set designers more creative freedom.

There are still plenty of Batman-centric characters that haven’t gotten a minifig (not outside TLBM, anyway) so I’m not really worried about repeats. And even if they are repeats, as long as they all get a nice updated design, I’ll be happy. I’m so relieved that they’re making up for only two sets in the January wave by giving us seven sets in this wave. I would also like to point out that 2019 would be the 30th Anniversary of the Tim Burton Batman movie, and it would also be 80th Anniversary of Batman himself, so I would imagine the D2C could be anything from the 1989 Batmobile to Wayne Manor to GCPD (hopefully they’ll throw in a Justice League member or two, you know, for diversity). BTW, I’m extremely happy we’re finally getting an updated Two-Face. The 2012 was okay, but a little weird, and TLBM version was a little too wacky for my taste (although I love the idea of a Billy Dee Williams Two-Face)
