psqidexslizer248 Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) With current superhero films, and I fear the DC films especially, going for 'realism' it often means that only one side gets vehicles that will translate into interesting material for sets. I'm beginning to get tired of seeing generic trucks and helicopters in the Marvel film sets, as well as in Licensed themes like the Ninja Turtles movie sets, and now it will be in DC as well. These things aren't inherently bad, but if the generic trucks and helicopters from DC's movie universe are all black as some set photos would suggest, it will be disappointing and dull. I wish the DCU filmmakers would give the bad guys slightly zanier vehicles or at least color schemes, just so that we'd have more interesting LEGO sets! I take it you haven't seen the Jokers car.

Legocity2713 Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I posted a custom painted 2016 Suicide Squad-esque Harley Quinn figure that I found on Instagram a few days ago. Now, here is a '66 Catwoman custom painted figure with the domineering cat girl's hairpiece. I'm only posting it so that we can get a better idea of what we could be getting next year. Very cool to see a physical version I guess. Credit to "Barry" on Flickr.
8BrickMario Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Oh, it looks good. I can't wait to see the official one, which I assume will have a more detailed print and a better face.
Neomars Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 If the Batwing set is $70 I would personally just like to a 700 piece Batwing. Both Marvel and Star Wars sets get great builds in bigger sets when most of the pieces go to one build and not a bunch of smaller ones. Then again the Batwing in Dawn of Justice looks very......weird. Just weird.

I can't wait to see how Lego is going to pull it off.
YoshiBlockr Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Yeah, it is definitely a very weird shape with lots of very weird angles. I can't wait to see how Lego is going to pull it off. For some reason it seems to remind me of the Arkham Knight Batwing. Either way I think they would make the set like around 550-700 pieces using up top 200 pieces on the batwing 150 pieces on the helicopter. And around 200 to 300 pieces on a small lex corp build. If we do really get 6 or 7 figures then this would be a dream set.

Master_Data Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 A little off topic (and not sure if this has already been discussed), but how will they pull off a Flash vs. Cold Racer set? I can't think of any way to justify a Flash based vehicle.

This is the 6th one in the full line of Super Heroes and the third for DC.
8BrickMario Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Flash has had vehicles before. It's totally pointless, but he has the Flashmobile.

I can't think of any way to justify a Flash based vehicle. Flash has had vehicles before. It's totally pointless, but he has the Flashmobile. If these are silly little cars in the same ilk as Star Wars microfighters, as I think has been stated by the rumor gods, they don't need to be justified or make sense anyway. They're supposed to be silly and nonsensical.Personally, I think it's great that LEGO is injecting some whimsy and humor with stuff like microfighters and now these racers. Plus it means minifigures in semi-almost-affordable sets (though I think no matter what country you're in, the microfighters were a bad deal for the money and these racers might be the same).
CM4Sci Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I think Captain Cold could have a snowplow or something. Dunno about Flash.. doesn't seem to make much sense.
Numbuh1Nerd Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I think Captain Cold could have a snowplow or something. Dunno about Flash.. doesn't seem to make much sense. Um, EXCUSE YOU
Khscarymovie4 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Um, EXCUSE YOU There is no way that's a $9:99 set.
VictorFrenchFries Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Could anybody make a John Stewart GL using Finn's hairpiece? I want to see how it looks. Also if it is the same whole piece of Cyborg's half.
Mr_KnowItAll_JD23 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) Is it possible that some of the Racers could be boats or planes instead of cars? Edited September 12, 2015 by Mr_KnowItAll_JD23
Dunedain Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 It would be really awesome if those racer sets actually had cars/vehicles/planes/boats, or whatever, that were actually cool, and practical. I am, unfortunately, expecting them to be stupid little cars, but one can dream, right.
Soupperson1 Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Is it possible that some of the Racers could be boats or planes instead of cars? Well Cap from Marvel has a tank so anything is possible
adotnamedstud Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) Since everyone thinks the Doctor's hair would be great on Joker, I decided to edit it. Do you think this is what we'll see this year? Hoping this isn't speculation, I'm fairly certain we'd be getting this or the old hairpiece in the racer. The hair was in the highest quality I could find. (I'm not a professional Photoshopper so don't be rude if it looks like crud.) Edited September 13, 2015 by (Nexus)

'PIC SNIPPED' The hair was in the highest quality I could find. (I'm not a professional Photoshopper so don't be rude if it looks like crud.) I personally think it looks great and works as a great joker, it reminds me of a arkham verse joker. I could definetly see this happening.

Dosenbrot Posted September 12, 2015 Posted September 12, 2015 Looks really great, reminds me of the Arkham Games Joker. :D
8BrickMario Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 I'd love it. Heck, I just want a new Joker! I wouldn't be surprised to see that hair on him.
Bricky Dee Williams Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 It looks amazing! It's perfect for the Joker, but not quite as perfect as the Vampire/ Wolverine hair he had originally.
ultron32 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 I'm loving that look for the Joker. really hope this happens.
Legocity2713 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Could easily be. Batman vs. Joker is pretty boring for most collectors so a desirable part should be included. The hair looks pretty good actually, and while we are on the topic: is the Batman in the racers set gonna be gray or black? Sorry if this was already answered.
