@NXS7 can see the future. 

 

2025 info starting to leak out, so I'll save us all some trouble and tell you what the next wave is going to be.

$14.99: Harley Quinn Mech

$37.99: Buildible Superman

$44.99: Superman tie-in that would be $30-35 five years ago. Includes Superman, Lex (made of re-used parts) and The Engineer

$74.99: Caped Cruscader Batmobile with Batman, Harley Quinn and Renee Montoya.

$239.99: UCS The Bat with a TDK batman figure.

 

Just kidding of course- it'll be roughly half the figure counts here, and we won't get any TDK or Caped Cruscader representation

1.) How many "DC sets" will be released in 2025 . . . . . ?

(sets, polybags, magazine gifts, CMF, other...)

I'll guess 15 ( 6 magazine gifts, 2 polybags, 1 D2C , 3 Superman sets, 3 Batman sets) maybe a CMF? 

Quote

2.) Will LEGO release Superman (2025) based sets next year . . . . . ?

Yes

Quote

3.) Will Joker 2 be a hit . . . . . ?

Yeah but not a massive one

Quote

4.) LEGO will release in 2025 new Arkham Asylum, Batcave, Jokerland, Wayne Manor sets . . . . . ?

I fear not, maybe a small batcave but or a juniors asylum.

Quote

5.) LEGO will end licence deal with DC in next 1-5 years time . . . . . ?

No, Gunn is far more competent boss for DC movies than Synder and if the movies do well sets will surely follow ( I think we'll get another DC CMF within 6 years but probably not next year)

Quote

 

6.) Superman (2025) will FLOP in cinemas 

No it will not. But it won't make a Morbillion dollars.

Quote

7.) We are getting a new DC CMF series some day. Name 3 NEW characters NEVER released before which LEGO will make . . . . . ?

Yes, Saint Walker, Terry McGinnis and Zatanna.

 

Quote

8.) LEGO will release 1st DIORAMA set ever based on DC . . . . . ?

Not an 18+ star wars style one but maybe one like marvel has had recently.

Quote

9.) LEGO HATES DC . . . . . ?

Absolutely false. They might not love it as much as more profitable themes like star wars. They make what they think will sell but I think some at Lego definitely prefer DC to marvel despite what products come out.

Quote

10.) We will get a BIG minifigure like BANE or KILLER CROCK 2025-2030 . . . . . ?

I can only hope not. TLBM Killer Croc was cool but in general the bigfig concept needs reworking. (26.24387988668643356267221222112225784898968544333378848488008232666778842777696969800813256466678769% likehood)

On a more positive note. Apparently James Gunn confirmed on social media that we’d be getting: Vixen, Nightwing, Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) and Static in Chapter 1 of the DCU.

This is what I hoped for when Gunn announced that TBatB would feature Damien Wayne as Robin - I am glad to see that the BatFam is being fully fleshed-out and utilised, rather than just starting over again with another origin/early career Batman!

The reason why I don't agree with people saying Battinson should've been the DCU Batman.

I'm sure Pattinson would've great chemistry with Corenswet, but I don't want another Year 2 Batman — I want Robin. Nightwing. Batgirl. Red Hood. Plus so much more.

Agreed! Also, trying to fit Battinson into the broader DCU (with its many colourful established superheroes!) would throw off the vibe of the Reevesverse movies.

What do you think about the Bane figure?

I Bricklinked it a few years ago, could not resist doing so because it's just that good.

[legoturtle]

Well I just ordered it. So I have to wait. BUT so many people have said it is amazing. I also want Killer Crock (BIG) version...

[PGBQW]

I leave for a couple weeks and I see I haven't missed a single thing, amazing.

I know this subforum gets a bit more leeway so we can talk about other things because it would get very stale if we could only write about the non-existent sets we are not getting, but is it just me or we always end up having the same conversation? (Epic Better Call Saul reference???)

is there a lore reason for that? Am I stupid?

Like maybe I've become the Joker, but Lego Turtle's posts just feel normal to me now.

He would have to do nothing short of executing a man on live tv to surprise me at this point.

I accept your challenge, Turtle!

1) -1572 (TLG will recall all DC sets, even those that were already sold, back) (jonkling; seriously, I don't know and only hope for the best)

2)No (not really jonkling this time, since I don't know for sure) 

3)We can only hope. I was very sceptical at first, and, movie concept aside, I believed that the Joker sequel would probably ruin everything the first part achieved. The trailer made me less sceptical. I hope it turns out good.

4)0 (dead serious!)

5)Totally yes (totally jonkling; on a serious note, we all have to admit Lego DC had much worse years; we just can't get TLBM every year)

6)I can only hope it does. Because, just like Brian Boitano from the song, I don't take .... from anybody. I don't want a bad movie to be successful, since that would send the creators a wrong message.

7) Ventriloquist and Scarface, Mr. Mxyzptlk (purple suit, like STAS), Black Adam 

8)No (I really don't think so, though I would like that to happen)

9)Absolutely false. They don't, they just have to deal with the unsettling reality DC's bosses have created.

10)40%

The ISB doesn't have a rank of Admiral - they have a Director. Also, if you know the whereabouts of the wanted political war criminal Voren Na'Al, please contact us immediately - we closely collaborate with the ISB in order to bring him to justice.

1. I'm gonna say 6 sets plus a polybag or two.

2. I think we'll get at least one Superman set, but I wouldn't say it'll 100% be based on the movie. I think it's somewhat likely, though.

3. Yes, but with no impact on lego.

4. Nothing D2C building based. Maybe a system Batcave, though I feel they may just do a remake in 2026 for The Batman part 2

5. Not fully, but I could see an eventual move to Icons if things keep going poorly.

6. Dunno. Haven't kept up with how much it's cost 'em. If it's not the production budget of some of these newer marvel films, it should be able to make it's money back even if it's not great- it's superman.

7. No we aren't

8. I think the dioramas are unfortunately gone

9. No. They're a company. DC doesn't make them as much money so it doesn't get as much attention. That's it. 

10. No

Stupid? I am not Stupid! I am not stupid, I know he swapped those release dates, I knew it was 2025. One after Transformers One, as if I could ever make such a mistake. Never, never! I just- I just couldn't prove it! He covered his tracks, he got that idiot at the studio to lie for him. You think this is something- you think this is bad? This, this chicanery? He's done worse. That Shadow Box. Are you telling me a batcave just happens to be based on a film like that? No, he orchestrated it! Turtle! He said superman flied like a bee, and I saved him! I shouldn't have, I took him into my own thread! What was I thinking? He'll never change. He'll never change! Ever since he was an egg, always the same. Couldn't keep his posts out of the discussion threads. "But not our turtle, couldn't be precious turtle!" Spamming them blind! And he gets to be a knight? What a sick joke! I should have blocked him when I had the chance. And you- you have to block him, you...

(Turtle, this is a joke copying words from a TV show the other guy mentioned. I genuinely enjoy seeing your posts here.

1.) How many "DC sets" will be released in 2025 . . . . . ?

(sets, polybags, magazine gifts, CMF, other...)

The magazine is bimonthly so we'll get 6 magazines sets, and then I'll guess between 4-8 other sets 

 

 

2.) Will LEGO release Superman (2025) based sets next year . . . . . ?

(only real set / sets)

I think so! They're stuck to movie and show sets lately so I doubt we'd get a comic set to tie-in like @Mandalorianknight suggests.

 

3.) Will Joker 2 be a hit . . . . . ?

(BIG succes in theathers, fans like, critics like)

I have no idea.

 

4.) LEGO will release in 2025 new Arkham Asylum, Batcave, Jokerland, Wayne Manor sets . . . . . ?

(pick 0-4)

Eh I don't think so, but I expect we'll get some of those for The batman 2 and bantb

 

5.) LEGO will end licence deal with DC in next 1-5 years time . . . . . ?

(yes or no)

No but it might transition into an icons license if the new movies fail to revitalise it.

 

6.) Superman (2025) will FLOP in movie theathers . . . . . ?

(yes or no)

No, at least I hope not. James Gunn has a good 👍 track record so the film should be good.

 

7.) We are getting a new DC CMF series some day. Name 3 NEW characters NEVER released before which LEGO will make . . . . . ?

(for example 'Mad Hatter')

New characters huh 😐 I could fill a CMF with Jason Todd and red hood varieties.  But I'll play - Kon-El ( the target exclusive is impossible to get over here so I count him as unmade), Cassie Sandsmark, Cassandra Cain.

 

8.) LEGO will release 1st DIORAMA set ever based on DC . . . . . ?

(yes or never)

I think @Agent Kallus is right, as in no proper 18+ diorama but maybe a pseudo diorama like the marble endgame one.

 

9.) LEGO HATES DC . . . . . ?

(true or false)

False, TT games at least made far more DC games and they were more inspired than the marvel ones.

 

10.) We will get a BIG minifigure like BANE or KILLER CROCK 2025-2030 . . . . . ?

(how likely 0-100 %)

No 👎 clue 🤔

 

That's my responses in the italicised words within the quote box. 

But I have question! ❓ Where do we think Jason will next show up on screen? He was teased in Young Justice but not much has come of that yet 😕 😔 ( when season 5 ❓❓🤔) could he be in the James Gunn batman movie? And second question ⁉️ ❓ ⁉️ when do we think he'll get another Lego minifigs? ( Red hood mech for 2025 please 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺 🥺)

Jonkler is neo-malapropism, the word being replaced is Joker, so to Jonkle is to joke. It originates from the subreddit for the Batman Arkham Asylum videogames. I'm trying to avoid using the Arkham malapropisms as I know they frustrate certain members of the community.
