LEGO Superheroes 2012 Rumours & Discussion

[Ceroknight]

Thank you Superficial Username for that better picture of Two Face!

His face is so much better now!

However Joker is just fantastic so I might just skip the Two Face set and buy the Joker set.

Not really liking the Batman leg printing though

[SoupOrFishOil]

I have a feeling that Because of the new mould for catwomans mask we will be able to see her eyes if they are at the we put the non-mask face at the front.

I think it's the same mold

You're welcome, but I'd like to point something out about that picture of Batman. Here's a picture of Wonder Woman, supposedly from the same place:

Just compare the boots of the promotional photo to the WW minifigure we've been seeing. I'd like to think that LEGO Batman's boots are a mistake, just like that white stripe on WW's. There are also some other mistakes, like her curves, so I think that these are just artistic interpretations of the minifigures.

To those of you who don't like Batman's boots, don't complain when he doesn't have any.

Edit: Funny, now two people have thanked me for Two-Face, but I don't recall anybody doing it when I posted that huge picture of the Batcave

I thought so too at first, but if you compare them you will see that the eyes are closer together, and this one goes further down on her face.

Oh, very well:

On behalf of all of us, a hearty and belated "Thank You" for the huge picture of the Batcave.

I didn't need a thank you, I found just found it funny. I mean, I don't mind the Batcave so much, but I know that most don't, but I didn't realize that they hated it so much more than Two-Face's colorscheme. Which actually, orange and purple aren't so bad together, and if you know what's good for you, you won't say that they are:

Her tights are also smaller

The purple used on Two-Face is, to my knowledge, the darkest purple LEGO has ever had (268 Medium Lilac/Bricklink's Dark Purple). And it's certainly the darkest on the current palette. I think it looks fine. The lighting of that pic makes it seem way brighter than it is in real life.

I think Riddler is pretty cool as well, but of course he does seem awfully muscular for a character who almost exclusively relies on his wits. Incidentally, his hands also seem to be Medium Lilac, which would make his set the first to have minifigure hands in that color.

I suppose, now that I look at it again, it does just seem like it's the lighting that's bright.

And I do hope we see another version of Riddler some time in the future.

[tj19941994]

I just had a thought, so we are all assuming that Riddler and Harley are coming in an exclusive; however as a pair they are a little odd. My thought is that, perhaps, they will be in and arkham asylum sort of set, which also includes one or two of the other villains which are already in sets, i.e. joker or bane.

Maybe it is ridiculous, but do you think it is a possibility?

Well, we've seen in the new pictures that the Riddler appears to be driving Jokers helicopter. But you're right, Quinn still needs to be revealed, and maybe in an Arkham set. Maybe we'd get Harleen Quinzel too! Maybe it would be a Batman: Arkham Asylum set!

Sorry, it's just nice to dream!

But lets not forget, some villains may appear twice. Quinn could appear along with the Joker and Bane in a future exclusive.

Not to mention, we had Doctor Octopus and Spiderman confirmed to be in a future set, but they don't appear within the Avengers line. Another exclusive?

I don't think that riddler is driving the helicopter, that character is a joker henchman, note the purple pants and black cap. As far as I knew, we have no idea what set either of these figures will be in. I'd love a Batman: Arkham Asylum, but lets face it.

[Vindice]

I think Arkham asylumn is a big possibility. Popular playset, good chance for exclusive minifigs and they have the game that boosted it's marketability.

And they already released an Arkham set, so chances are, kids who missed it will want it. I'd just hope that this one would include a doctor of some sort...

The 'boot stripe' WAS indeed common in some representations of WW.

I like the 'promo art' fig better than the finished one. Has a better facial look, the body looks better with the 'fleshie' torso w/ costume printed on, rather than the red torso (makes her look quite chunky, which is rather blasphemous) and it has her bracelets, which the minifig doesn't have (umm...hello? rather important part of her mythos!).

Hello All

While looking around the net I stumbled upon these images on Bricktuts the picture quality isn't great but at least its an idea of the new sets, he also said he would update them soon so watch this space.

I hope you like them

I don't really care about the boot stripe, but I agree on everything else. The fleshie torso was much, much better and we definitely need the bracelets! The promo version is significantly better. However, when I saw the new one without the promo one, I liked it very much. Now that I've seen something better, I am disappointed. Ah, the joys of naivety.

[Sam892]

if the sixth set is arkham then i hope its like the diagon alley set which includes lots of figures lots of pieces and looks awesome. hopefully it will include riddler, harley, hugo strange, gordon, nightwing and batgirl. although i doubt it will include these i can dream right?

just found a clearer picture of the new riddler minifigure

Ok, now I'm really confused.. Is riddler in the set with joker or not? I need confirmation cause I want a riddler fig so bad but I want to be sure if he's in a set already or if he's in another with Harley.

no the riddler is not in the the batwing vs the jokers helecoptor set. the riddler is in an unknown set at the moment however it is not known if the unknown set will include other villians like joker or harley at the moment we are just guessing and hoping.

oh ok thanks :)

[tj19941994]

The other thing I would really like to see this time round in the theme is more civilians; the Batman theme really lacked them and I always felt that it really limited the sets. With the inclusion of the police station in the Two face set and the sidewalk in the Catwoman set, I'm really hopeful this theme will gradually give us more of the people of the Hero's towns.

Ah, but that's what as AFOL's are for to MOC build the extra pieces to the DC and/or Marvel worlds.

On The Riddler front, perhaps he'll be a second wave release ?

I mean moreso in the way of figures (though I only referred to buildings But all the same I think more civilians (i.e. vicky vale)

I think the riddler is coming out in the first wave, why would they be producing him now otherwise?

Ah, figures....yes I agree we need victims for the Joker !

The sets we have seen are the first wave, unless there is the cheeky TRU exclusive hiding somewhere as usual ?

Exactly! I would kill for a sawmill set or something!

And the TRU exclusive is what I'm hoping for It would make sense, considering the Doc Ock and Spiderman thing.

[Darth Nihilus]

I thought that the second wave was confirmed to be a TDKR wave? That would put the villains being Bane and Catwoman, not Riddle.

[badboytje88]

Not sure if they have been posted, but I don't think it'll hurt to see them again.
