I don’t remember any Batmobiles in Superman and Superman II . In all seriousness though, I don’t think those films have quite the same appeal the Batman ones have had. For one, the effects really haven’t aged as well for the Superman films as the Batman films. Plus, they’re close to 20 years older meaning the people who are nostalgic for those films are older. And it also doesn’t help that Superman is less popular than Batman in general. So even if diehard fans consider Superman II up there with the Burton Batman films, they’re not as popular with the general audience. As far as sets go, I don’t even know what they could make sets for aside from the Fortress of Solitude, which would have to be significantly larger than a Batmobile making it more expensive and a bigger risk. We also got a Terence Stamp General Zod in that same series.

I’d take that with a grain of salt. Brickreporter has been known to jump to his own conclusions about other people’s leaks that aren’t always correct.

Supposedly the Doomsday sets will be unveiled on July 26th. Leaks will probably be coming soon.

Our first look at torso from the Doomsday sets is up in the usual places.

IMO, they should make the GWP be a smaller set ($30 maximum) that they do a wide release of like 6 months later. That way, no one feels like they’re missing out on something essential but people who buy the set day one still get to have something no one else does for a while.

Interesting. So, it’d be roughly the same size as the last one given the piece count.

Swap out Killer Croc with Clayface. There’s gotta be one exclusive character locked behind a $400 paywall.

The designers for Arkham hinted that the inmate heads and Two Face’s hairpiece weren’t meant as one-off’s. But that may just be wishful thinking on their part rather than anything concrete.

There’s a better chance of them being based on The Boys

There isn’t any other Endgame final battle set (that we know of) and we are required to get at least one per year. I could see this happening, tbh.

List for June is up in the usual place. 3 regular sets, one that’s probably D2C given the 3000+ piece count. Possibly a modular.

Exciting news about Brainiac! Maybe we’ll get lucky and Lego will include Superman on the box art for 2027’s Batmobile line.

Agreed. I should probably make it clear that just because I don’t agree with the arguments being made for why a Daily Planet modular couldn’t be made doesn’t mean I think it has anymore chance of happening than a Duplo Deadpool set. Just the state of the DC theme (DC as a brand, in general, honestly) is enough to rule out a Daily Planet modular. If I had to rank the obvious choices for next year’s modular, it’d go like this: 1) Oscorp 2) Avengers Compound 3) Wayne Manor 4) Baxter Building 5) nothing 6) Daily Planet I’d love to be wrong, as a Daily Planet modular would be fantastic news, but I really don’t see it happening.

I gotta disagree on this one. As I said before, the Daily Planet really doesn’t need as many new prints because of the number of civilians you could include in it. Now, are Perry and Steve Lombard character people would be excited about? Not really. But Lois, Jimmy, and Clark have all always been relatively popular, far more so than anyone at the Daily Bugle outside of maybe J. Jonah Jameson, but I’d argue Lois and Clark have him surpassed. You include even just those three alongside Superman, Lex, and 5-6 other characters (as is typical with these sets) and you’d have a minifigure selection that’s good enough for a modular building. As for the building itself being just a boring newspaper building like the Daily Bugle, I gotta disagree here too. For one, the Planet has been far more important to Superman than it has to Spider-Man. Half of the Spider-Man movies haven’t even bothered including The Bugle while I can’t think of a single Superman movie has hasn’t included the Planet. For another, the Planet has a very distinct look thanks to that iconic giant golden globe up at the top. The Bugle doesn’t have a distinct look or any iconic features. It is, as you correctly point out, just a big building those main selling point is all those Spider-Man adjacent minifigures. The Planet doesn’t have that issue as it’s iconic enough and has a distinct enough design to be its own selling point.
