The names have great potential for cool minifigures and sets.  Glad to see they are expanding even further from all the Batman sets, though I would bet he'll show up in another set in addition to the GL/Sinestro one we know about.

Interesting.  So many sets with bad guys' names in the titles.  Do they just assume the general public will know who Black Manta is (for example) ?

 

ETA: A lot of people know who the Joker is.  BUT the official title of his set still mentions the good guy:  76013 Batman: The Joker Steamroller

Wow is all I have to say. Unfortunately this may hurt the value a bit of some of the current themes as a lot of DC mini figures will now be in another set(Flash. Aquaman, Superman at least.)

With the possible exception of Black Manta/Aquaman, these sets should be Wolverine Chopper level gold. A Darkseid figure alone justifies buying any set. Especially if it's a maxi-fig (though I'm not sure if that will happen because he's not Rancor/Wampa/Hulk size vs humans. Gorilla Grodd and the Flash could have potential as well, especially if there's a decent 3rd figure. 

 

Poor Wonder Woman. Still just a sideshow without her own set. I wonder if any of her, Cyborg, Shazam, or Martian Manhunter will be third figures in any of these sets.

My bet would be Darkseid invasion might be a larger set and include a few justice leaguers. I wouldn't be surprised to see Wonder Woman and one in there.

I agree that's the most likely bet. Assuming this is related to the Justice League comics from 3 years ago then there should be some Leaguers in there. However there should also be some parademons (Darkseid's shock troops). It's not an invasion when it's just one person. Then it's just a break and enter.

I can't wait to get my hands on some parademon mini figures. Hopefully it is at least a 5 figure set.

With Lego giving Batman-based sets a rest, recently and newly retired ones could continue to mature nicely past the 1 year mark. May want to consider hanging on to your Batwings, Two Face Chases, Catwoman Cycles, etc. a little longer than a year.

It's going to be interesting seeing which sets retire this year and which ones stay around, I think 76000 might bite the dust this year with a new set with aquaman coming out and all the current Batman sets out.

I think they added the Brainiac set after the initial posting, I don't remember seeing it previously.

I wonder how well some of the other characters will sell?  Sure the fans will be excited for them to branch out, but what kids?  If they're in the upcoming game and have a semi predominate role, that will help, otherwise how interested will the average person be in these characters?  I think they'll include a better known character in each set to help push them

At least they have variations unlike Spiderman

 

Absolutely. Lego shot themselves in the foot there. 

But we have had the most recent Batman releases, the Tumbler, the upcoming Lego Movie set and now these. Way too much.

I agree. He'll be out in the new set as well with angry kitty.
