RadioYeh Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 Is the supposed Bat-D2C rumored for November? Anyone know the list of future D2C's?

nikhkin Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 I've been out of the loop on DC for a little while. Do we have any more news on what the D2C is?

scottypavarotti Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 I've seen a couple of people assert that it has been listed as a vehicle, but I'm not sure how "official" that information is...?
TheBrickBuilder14 Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) I believe it has already been confirmed to be a Batmobile. I also heard rumors of it costing 250 euros. Edited September 5, 2019 by TheBrickBuilder14

I'm kind of nostalgic about the Burton Batmobile, I was a teenager when the film came out and it seemed revolutionary at the time, but looking back now the film has not aged well so I'm less enthusiastic about some sort of UCS Burtonmobile....but I guess I'll take it?

Borex Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 Hi, not a DCguy overhere, but i just wanted to say that the lego batman magazine (in the Netherlands) came with a flash minifig (alas without dualmoulded legs). Although i expect that most people in this thread have like five Flashes already :-D

Yeah I loved the TDK trilogy,(I was just watching the dark knight, seen it 7 times lol) I would personally like a smaller, less expensive tumbler with a bat pod inside, but I know they won't do it. If anything it may be the Burtonmobile or just a random one they designed themselves. I don't see why we need another batmobile this year after 76119..
Whovastron Posted September 6, 2019 Posted September 6, 2019 @everyone saying they only make Batman sets now, they dont the branding is just batman for the last two waves, sure, much like the Marvel ones had spider-man. But from what I can tell, Lego are trying to brand each set after the character/film it’s based on to maximise sales. Look at the Avengers for example, a parent going into the toy isle will find it a lot easier to tell the bright white Avengers sets apart from the blue Spider-Man sets. And it seems to have worked, as the Avengers sets have sold a lot better than previous waves, despite being a weak wave. this year has seen a focus on Batman as he is the most popular character, i full expect us to, at some point, get something else. There will probably be a set with a justice league logo used, or one for Wonder Woman 1984 next year.

IRISHCLOWN Posted September 7, 2019 Posted September 7, 2019 Any possibility of it being an Arkham Asylum Batmobile? It's the tenth anniversary and we've seen an Arkham suit in a set before. Would be pretty cool to see.
