DC Superheroes 2018 - Set Discussion

@SpiderJazz does the Talon set look army builder size or bigger? Thinking of potential numbers here. I mean you can’t have a Night of Owls with two Talons. OMAC sounds army builder size, but I’m not sure if I want an OMAC army. Ace, cool. Beyond suit, cool.

I’m just worried for Firefly, The Hatter and Hush (who is not that obscure haha) because if they weren’t released in the Lego Batman Movie, why weren’t they? Most A, B, Z list batvillains were. 

As well as a Hawkman/girl villain and a Green Arrow villain.

Lego doesn’t really care about informational leaks they care more about unofficial pictures leaking more than anything 

Are you sure bro? (No doubting just wanting to confirm).

Well yea there have info about sets that have leaked half a year to a year ahead of there realease dates. Think about the Thor ragnorck Sets info for them was released December 2016 and Lego doesn’t really care other all they can do is try harder to stop the leaks from happening but they do. They care about official images being released before hand so knock off brands don’t rip them off

But Gentleman Ghost IS Batman Villain. 

As well Clock King. 

Truly, Hawks ARCH-nemesis of Kraddock, but Gentleman Jim have very long history with Bats, first fights with him even before  first appearance of Croc or Magpie or many others. 

Clock King fights with Batman in comics as well. 

Not to mention movie like a tribute different versions of Bat-Myth itself, and Clock and Ghost be prominent in Brave and Bold cartoon series.

I’m still holding out on a 4 retail exclusive set. After we didn’t find out about the Ra’s set until after the Toy Fairs

Don't forget the Flash villain too. Seriously, I only found like three instances where Batman fought Captain Boomerang, and there was only one 80's comic while the rest is modern Suicide Squad comics and Assault on Arkham.

Him being in the TLBM just adds to my conspiracy that Lego is turning Digger into a Batvillain, ever since LB2. On Lego's website they don't even mention the Flash in his bio, at least Gentleman Ghost's mentions Hawkgirl.

I'm not really a Batman guy, but I think @Falconfan1414 can answer your question. 

I dunno which is which. If the Talon set is the 2nd one, absolutely it's bigger and not like an army builder set.

I can see the prices being $20 and $25-30

[Falconfan1414]

Like @SpiderJazz said I have seen the sets and can answer any questions you guys have

Besides the two playsets, have you also seen the purportedly "app controlled" Batmobile?

Yes I have seen that set as well

What particularly suggests that this set is "app controlled"? Does the preliminary artwork feature any icons or text that communicate that?

They show pretty much a iPhone controlling it. On the box art they are pushing up on the controls and it shows the wheels moving

Alright then, thanks! 

As for the Batmobile's design, does it really resemble the Arkham Knight one, or only vaguely?

It resembles it well but it’s more compact than the actual video game one if that makes sense. The Arkham logo is on the box too. They use a new wheel mold too for it

Really? That's pretty cool, but is it a new tire mold, a new wheel mold, or both?

Also, is the Batmobile presumably Black, or perhaps is it some sort of shade of dark grey, much like the vehicle in the actual game?

Looks like both can’t tell for sure. It’s all in black

Well okay then, thanks for all the information! That's probably all I can think of to ask currently. 

[Falconfan1414]

Well here is just a general recap for everyone. There in total will be 3 different batman this wave and two of them will be stand outs. Ace the bat hound is coming. I can see the smaller set being 20-25 the larger set being 25-30

Do you know if it transforms into a combat mode like it does in game?

I have only seen the front of the box but it doesn’t give any indication like it can. I just would call it a basic remote control Lego car

I don't think so, too blocky if you ask me. 

[spiderfan2000]

Is the Batman Beyond minifigure the same design from the Lego Batman Movie (with the Type 2 Cowl and red cape) or different?

I don’t know the final design the images are priminaries but the figure is coming i am 99.99999% sure of it. Most likely more of a comic book look than lbm movie design

Thank you anyway, its all bonus information that you don’t have to give out. Always grateful for it. And thank you to @Falconfan1414

Thank you for the info!  Considering how the TLBM Batman Beyond is very close to the comic version, I'll almost certainly end up buying it when its released either way.  Hopefully some pictures will be released to the public before too long.
