lightningtiger Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Wonder Woman had an invisible jet and if we get Superman, Clark Kent and Lois Lane wouldn't be far off......maybe ? Perhaps this might get tied into Cartoon Network.....maybe a new modern copy of this Brick On !
22kane Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I missed out on the last Batman release so I'm exited to get a chance to collect this new series. I'm certainly not going to pay the ridiculous cost on eBay for the last Batman run. This is very cool news!
Si-MOCs Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 pleasure overload. pleasure overload. pleasure overload.
Haltiamieli Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Well, frankly I'm personally not that interested in DC superheroes as a Lego theme, but this is good news nonetheless. There will surely be plenty of nice new pieces and minifigure parts, like Superman's hair in the preview picture. Congrats to all of you hyperventilating DC fans!
ZO6 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I just invisibly shat a load of bricks, this is wonderful news! I somehow missed picking up even a single Batman set when they were available before, but I'm certainly not going to make the same mistake. I think overall I prefer most Marvel superheroes, but those from the DC universe are hugely welcome in my books. I can't wait to see what the sets look like!
narbilu Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 A lot of new flesh colored faces... always good for any theme. I just can't wait.
Blondie-Wan Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Well... wow. This is certainly a dream come true for many here, I'm sure! I'm actually not a huge DC fan myself, but I do have some respect and appreciation for the comics, and I'm looking forward to these sets. Regarding what this means for Marvel... I notice the logo at the bottom of the SDCC promo shown with the article has a small "DC Universe" above "Super Heroes," but the logo on the website just says "LEGO Super Heroes," without "DC Universe." Is it possible they might do both Marvel and DC as something like "subthemes" of one big, overall "supertheme"? Whatever else happens, I, too, missed out on lots of the LEGO Batman stuff, and look forward to getting another crack at that universe in brick form, especially now that it'll officially include stuff beyond Batman.
Big Cam Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 I seriously need a better job, as if the collectable figs weren't draining my bank account the way things currently are. I may just have to pursue the figs this time.
legofett5 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 The batman sets better not be as cartoony as the first ones. I hope they go a more dark knight route, and no giant mallets attached to monster trucks. But what I'm really hoping for is a green lantern line!
Mr. Elijah Timms Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) This is HUGE NEWS!!!! This line could go on for years now that it's 'DC Universe' and not just Batman! Personally, I'd kill for a Green Arrow fig!! Edited July 20, 2011 by Mr. Elijah Timms

That site is a teaser for the reveal, the date i guess is the start of comic con? so it would be revealed at that date, keeping the licence a suprise. Just my guess!

That site is a teaser for the reveal, the date i guess is the start of comic con? so it would be revealed at that date, keeping the licence a suprise. Just my guess! Oh, I'm sure. I'm just wondering about what it means for non-DC superheroes, and dreaming a bit. For that matter, why not dream a lot? Marvel is now part of Disney, with which LEGO already has a good relationship anyway - they do themes based on a number of other Disney properties, including Pixar ones (Toy Story and Cars, obviously). WHAT IF (itself a classic Marvel series )... they did an overall "Superheroes" megatheme as I've suggested, and not only had DC Universe and Marvel universe subthemes, but also did one for The Incredibles?!? Just imagine (a classic TLG tagline )... Marvel, DC and Pixar superheroes, all together, saving little brick cities everywhere... (Ok, I know it's serious pipe dream, pie-in-the-sky territory, but if one's going to dream, why not dream big??? )
tafkatb Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Sooo... Watchmen is technically part of the "DC Universe," right? Or maybe that's asking a little too much. In any case, though, this is awesome. Are there any pics out of the Wonder Woman minifig? Wonder Woman had an invisible jet A set made up entirely of transparent bricks! Okay, no way that's happening, but we can dream...
KurttKrueger Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Swoon! This is GREAT news. I will be buying everyone of these sets for sure.
Commander Assassin Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 It is mentioned on the United States Lego Superheroes site that there will be a new Batcave released in 2012! Also Green Lantern has back printing!
The_Chosen_1 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 This is INCREDIBLE news!!!! I was one who missed out on the original Batman sets as well, but I definitely won't make the same mistake again (assuming the sets are just as good). If anything makes me more excited than Batman returning, it's....SUPERMAN!! I've been considering buying a custom Superman minifig and neon green crystal (for kryptonite), but now it looks like I'll get the real thing instead. Awesome.
vexorian Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Made me notice I am a marvel fan, cause Batman is the only DC character that really seems interesting to me for sets. So sad for the reduced chances of an Avengers license. Though I guess if they make some brainiac sets there's quite a good chance for sci-fi stuff. And I like I'll finally be able to buy some Batman sets. Although I did swear against licensed sets this year. Edited July 20, 2011 by vexorian
commdr_neyo Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 For those who are in the US, you can see more than us on the official site.. There is a contest to enter: a stop-motion or live action LEGO movie, a still image, or a drawing of your LEGO Super Heroes in action, or regular LEGO minifigs in Super Hero style. Prizes include a complete set of the 2012 DC Universe line up, trips to LEGOLAND CA, WB Studios and more. Also, it should be mentioned that a new Batcave will be released, and it'd be shown that the Green Lantern has backprinting.
Professor Trelawney Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 This is fantastic! More Batman sets WOO!!! :wub:
Commander Adama Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 There's a new Batcave coming??? I just wish we had a Judge dread.Or the Punisher? I just hope somebody wants to giveaway a Batman or anyone on here,I would snap it right up. The problem is,whats going to happen to the older Batman sets? Will they be more expensive or will they get cheaper? I mean the minifigures,if we get a Catwoman ,Robin and the Joker and they are the same print,the value will go RIGHT down
Cutty Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Awesome news! The new Batman is fantastic! Anyway, I'd rather keep my fingers crossed for some Watchmen to sneak in this theme! They're DC stuff after all! Imagine: Nite-Owl's Owlship ("Archie") as an official set! There could be some outlandishly good things ahead of us!
