Given past scenarios I don't doubt if it's comic based there'll be plenty of Arkham game references

There will probably be references to multiple media regardless of what they choose to base it on. The X-Mansion has a poster for Dazzler, the Fox X-Men door on the danger room, Storm’s attic garden from the comics, etc, despite being based on X-Men ‘97. Heck, Iceman was even thrown in there despite only appearing in one episode of the original series.

Part of me finds the rumor hard to believe. Don't see that many figures they could reuse, comic or btas. Regardless, if we get new figs I'd say it would be max 5 (ivy and scarecrow most likely). Maybe 2 staff members/ guards too. In that sense, it'd be a real waste if they're just generic comic remasters, especially ivy since I reckon they'll just give her solid green legs again

 

 

If only it was new adventures themed

They can reuse most of batman (maybe a new torso + legs), reuse joker, reuse mr freeze from the 4+ set, some parts of two face (like the face) and get doctors/guards from existing pieces.
So I think they can make the rest with new pieces, also keep in mind bleeding minifigs is not only from past sets but future sets. where they make a figure (like the hulk) and put them in future sets.
Plus I think we will have a few sets in the summer to take from as well
Also they could all have jumpsuits and only need to print faces, i hope not but i can see it.

If we do end up getting a comic Arkham, and Poison Ivy is included, I hope they finally make a green skinned version of her.

Could very well get that depending on how many new prints they're willing to do, it's plausible as it's probably her more popular look now but I could see them just keeping her light nougat to justiy giving her a reused face

They may have a lot of the villains in jumpsuits to justify giving them new prints. I hope not all of them are like that though.

This is the smart move to maximize characters. DC might not get as many sets as marvel but if half the figures reuse the same torso and/or legs, you could easily hit 20+ unique characters.

It’s either give us 20+ in jumpsuits or 10 high quality new ones. 10 figs in jumpsuits is a real kick in the nuts at $400

There’s always the third option of inflating the number of figures using existing pieces, similar to what the Daily Bugle did. Renee Montoya, Harvey Bullock, Jonathan Crane, and Jeremiah Arkham are just a few names that spring to mind that could be done purist style.

But assuming we only get ten figures that wouldn't be ideal.

Batman and Joker are guaranteed, Mr Freeze is very likely as we just got him and Batgirl is also plausible.

That would leave six slots, at least one will have to be an Arkham guard, almost certainly Harley/Harleen will be included.

I think, while plausible, I'd hope if we get any of those types of characters then the fig count will be higher than ten

Oh, absolutely. I’m just saying, if we do end up getting more than 10 (say 20 or 25) it wouldn’t necessarily mean all the villains need to wear jump suits. There’s a handful of civilian characters that could be made using existing pieces.

The games are rated mature, so there’s no way it’ll be based on those.

Only Arkham Knight is rated MA, the rest are rated T. Of course, that doesn't mean they'll be the basis for the D2C, but it's not completely out of the question.

The RC Batmobile was based on Arkham Knight, btw.

The minifigure 100% was, but the batmobile itself looks absolutely nothing like the one from any of the games

But at that point is it even worth it? Like, would you really want to get new minifigures where their only usable print is the head and maybe the hair? Getting half a minifigure is worse than not geting it at all imo

[CloneCommando99]

How many baseplates do ya’ll reckon they’ll use for Arkham if it is indeed next year’s superhero modular?

And will there be a differentiation between normal cells and max security?

 

(Maybe they could do a Bugle and include non-Batman heroes who still fit like Deadman (daredevil), Question (punisher) and Green Arrow (blade).)

1 baseplate I'd say, also the chances of them making those characters is the same as Star Wars getting better, zero, Lego DC is gone 

Batman is what remains

And it's obvious why, he's the best and most popular DC hero, Possibly the most famous superhero in general besides Spider-Man and Superman

brickset has some high numbers for 2025 DC sets.

If you’re talking about this list, it’s full of Marvel sets.

The Daily Bugle could add those characters because there was a lot of Spider-Man figures already in production that could be recycled. We don’t have that for Batman. We’ve got Batman, Joker, Mr Freeze, Harley Quinn and depending on whether it’s comic or BtAS based, Batgirl or Catwoman. The X-Mansion also had 10 figures. One was purist. Two were recycled. Two were recycled with one new print. Five were new. Assuming the same thing happens here, we’re looking at 5 new figures, a guard made from existing pieces, and maybe Two-Face’s head can be recycled from the Tumbler. I have a feeling most of the new figures will be existing characters with maybe one new villain.

Imagine if we finally get a Mad Hatter minifig to complete the first videogame villain set …. and he’s in an orange Arkham jumpsuit with 😭

Hate to break it to you but Batman’s got Superman beat by a country mile at this point

I know, I should have worded it better, I meant he's number 1 then Spidey and Supes, Rightfully so, Batman is the best character and superhero ever, not just that, his villains and gotham, bat verse are all goated

I don't mind just getting Batman sets but we don't get the same amount of good sets like in 2012-2016

Just batmobile after batmobile, it gets boring after a while and I like batmobiles, we need more location based sets, villain lairs like croc in a sewer or jokers fun house

A GCPD, Wayne Tower,Wayne Manor, A Gotham D2C

We haven't seen Bane in years which is stupid, I'm glad we got Deathstroke,Deadshot and Firefly back then

Justice League sets from 2015 were fire tho

We had some of the Teen Titans (No Raven sadly), Flash, Green Lantern,Wonder Woman,Firestorm,Blue Beetle,Shazam,Green Arrow,Cyborg,Deathstroke,Deadshot,Martian Manhunter,Reverse Flash, Now we just get recycle after recycle, Harely,Joker,Mr Freeze

It's gotten so bad that we don't get Robin anymore lol

100%. I'd rather take an Arkham with 12 inmates in suits than 4 villains in costumes.

I’ve received intel from higher up that Blacktron I AND II are coming next year…

 

So, anyone wanna make an alliance before your impending doom? I need a good excuse for why I’ve been hanging around an Aslume this whole time.

Meanwhile, IGN comes in the clutch yet again with an insightful headline:

How Absolute Superman Introduces a Radically Different Man of Steel

I have heard about BT1 but not BT2. Who is saying both are coming? As I said in the space forum:

Personally, I highly doubt they would release two Blacktron sets so close together - they would cannibalize sales of each other unless the latter set was a GWP. And as it stands, there is only a rumor of the BT1 set, with nothing specific rumored for the GWP, if there is one planned. (And, don't forget the windscreen color of BT2 was recently retired so this makes it even less likely to be true - GWP or otherwise!)
