Find out details on the various sets and where each minifigure appears, as well as their special weapons, cool gadgets, and amazing vehicles.

Featuring an exclusive minifigure, LEGO DC Comics Character Encyclopedia is the must-have guide to the LEGO DC Comics minifigures.

So this will include the Batman series minifigs from before the Super Heroes theme? It claims to profile "over 200" DC minifigs even though the combined total of Super Heroes figs for Marvel and DC combined is only at 211 currently. But since this is still 7 months away, there's time to add the BvS figs and 66 BatCave ones, among others.

My only wish for the exclusive is that's it's not a variant of Batman or Superman (unless it's something awesome like a George or Christopher Reeves Superman).

Ooh cool. I would guess it will be a variant unfortunately, although it could be a very recognizable character like Reverse Flash.

And Marvel has still yet to get one...

That would be owing to licensing issues with Dorling Kindersley, so don't hold your breath on that one.

Anyway, my money's on a ridiculous Batman variant.

About damn time! The first one is outdated on so many things now, I wonder what the minifig will be?

It would probably be an Iron Man variation for Marvel anyway! ;)

Rainbow Batman perhaps?

Wouldn't surprise me too much if they did!

Doesn't this belong in the DC 2016 thread? Don't see why it needs its own...

Move it there!

Composite Superman would be beautiful!

Any more detail on this?

But, in this case, I think most would be happy to get an Iron Man variant. So long as its new. More suits, the better!

I saw the book on amazon. The minifig is a Pirate variant for Batman.

This is true.

That being said, this book is already being discussed in DC 2016 set Rumors and Discussion, so we don't need to dig up those old thread.
