By your logic, we've received WAY WAY WAY too much Batman given Alpha and Arkham. 6 Sinestro corps members isn't "an extraordinary amount of love"

Just like the Superman set, I'm in wait and see mode. I still haven't bought a single Superman booster, and don't have any reason to. Most of the set didn't appeal to me at all. More Batman? Ugh. By the end of the year I think people will be BEGGING for more lanterns.

The Lantern side of DC needs a lot more filling out than Batman...

I've seen someone mentioning a War of Light themed deal with Krona or Nekron, and that would have been great. Use the Entities as the prizes... that would make my day

I am serious when I say this - even though it may not seem so now - but I would really like to see a "WTh?!? Marvel" and a "Wth?!? DC" set. Make it a mini-set but include ridiculousness like Forbush Man or Leap Frog. Same with DC - though I'm not familiar enough with DC to name any of them. Surely there must be some Golden Age DC wackiness to include.

Make it a short-run, fan set full of stuff you never thought you'd see...or ever wanted to see.

Heck, it could even include pieces like Stan Lee or Jack Kirby (provided you could get the Kirby heirs to agree to it).

Just one little set of whackadoo. It could be fun.

Nailed it.

Well, of course my first instinct is to say a War of the Light/Blackest Night/Brightest Day scenario that would include many characters from the various corps like Sodam Yat, Munk, Controllers, The Entities, Brother Warth, Krona, Alpha Lanterns, Bleez, Dex-Starr, Deathstorm, Black Lantern Hawkman and Hawkwoman, Nekron(updated), Blackhand(updated), Platinum Lantern Kyle Rayner, etc.
My other choice would be: New World of Krypton scenario. It would feature Kryptonians of course, but would also feature the other races they had to deal with: Martians, Thanagarians, Saturnians(J'Emm and Faceless Hunters), K-Squad, Reactron, members of Commander El's Red Squad, Brainiac(Geoff Johns & Gary Frank version), Mon-El, Krypto, etc.
Crisis of Infinite Earths: Finally get an Earth-2 Robin, Huntress, Alexi Luthor, tons of villains and heroes from multiple universes!!
Legion of Three Worlds/The Great Darkness Saga: You get different versions of the Legion(WK would LOVE that!), Superboy-Prime, Superman, Darkseid, Darkseid minions: Guardian, Daxamites, etc., more Legion of Supervillains members, it's a WIN!!

Nah, we could get Lantern Entities and unmade Corps members, like I outlined a couple of pages ago.

I wouldn't call 8 characters in AA an "extraordinary amount of love," but I get what you're saying. While the Lanterns have received a nice amount of attention, we still haven't seen a Green Lantern anchored, full-sized set yet, and there are plenty of GL characters, both classic and modern yet unmade.

I wouldn't argue that Lanterns are getting more attention than Batman and his cast from AA onward though.

I agree with all of this, however. There is nothing wrong with a Batman event, and it will have more recognizability to the very casual fans than the skittle Lanterns would.

I think it's very easy to judge this a "what we should've had" type of thing before we even know what it entails.

Who knows? Perhaps the Utility Belt will be more important than the Infinity Gauntlet?

It is a possibility.

As for storylines, NML was a good read. One of the last big "events" that I did read. And it wasn't just about Bats, it entailed everybody. Including Luthor, if I remember correctly.

Either way, easy to dismiss this early. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Also, Infinity Gauntlet was one of the most entertaining tales remembered in recent years. Hard to beat.

My guess: Maybe the NML will have scenarios to go along with the gameplay???? Saving bystanders? Disarming bombs? Who knows?

Looking forward to it.

you do. I think this led to Lex's run for President. He came into Gotham near the end and put a lot of people back to work. Even had Mercy beating up thugs and keeping a lid on things. It also featured LexCorp vs WayneTech in a lot of boardroom stuff. Maybe my favorite modern Batman story.

I think No-Man's Land is a great idea for "event" play. Probably even better than a Crisis event would be. It has potential for a lot of really cool maps and LEs. The only thing that annoys me is, I wish they'd held off on the "utility belt" thing. It's silly. While various characters in Marvel history have possessed and used the Gems, which are iconic objects of power, there's nothing special about Batman's belt beyond the fact that it's Batman using it. They should have stuck to the maps and LE figures.

In the interest of being accurate, I have a minor correction to a couple of posts. 2 people misread my statement thinking that I was claiming that 6 Sinestro Corps members in Arkham Asylum = "an extraordinary amount of love."

It's a little nit-picky, I know, but you guys missed the rest of my sentence:

I didn't just mean the 6 from Arkham Asylum. I meant those 6, the GLs in DC75, the other rainbow lanterns from DC75, the GL Fast Forces pack, and the upcoming War of Light Fast Forces pack (http://www.previewsworld.com/catalog.../STK463934.jpg).

That's 6 from Arkham Asylum (impressive quantity for a single team in a single set!), 13 or so from DC75 (and that isn't even counting Mongul or the White Lanterns), 6 from the GL Fast Forces, and 6 more from the War of the Light Fast Forces pack. That's 6+13+6+6, which equals 31 pieces. And in my quote, I actually forgot to mention the GL Micro-Set (10 more pieces), the Blackest Night Fast Forces pack (7 pieces), or which would bring the total to a whopping 48 pieces without even bothering to count the white and black lantern characters, the Green Lantern duos from Brave and the Bold, or the Lantern objects from Brave and the Bold.

You guys kinda called me on using "an extraordinary amount of love" to describe 6 characters, when I was actually indicating 31, and should have been indicating 48.

While I don't disagree that we could use a few more here and there, I am unable to accept the notion that that particular corner of the DCU is suffering from any kind of neglect in this game.

It's called make up for 8 years of hardly any lanterns at all

Oh oh I know! They should have done an Amazons Attack event! Ooo! Or something themed on JLA: Act of God!

Sorry, I just threw up a little in my mouth when I said that. Sometimes I say awful, awful things.

I would roll with either FlashPoint or the Paralax Story Line and have a Huge Hal Jordan Paralax figure as the ultimate prize

HAHA! How about a Joker: Last Laugh event?

http://www.comicvine.com/joker-last-laugh/39-46441/

We could get Jokerized versions of characters as the prizes. I think I am the only one I know who enjoyed that event.

I liked the JLApe idea somebody posted earlier.

The JLAlien/Atlantis/Arkham/Amazons/Anarchy, etc storyline remembered by anyone?

Ambush Bug
The Creeper
Plastic Man
Doiby Dickles
Woozy Winks
Etta Candy
Comet the Superhorse
Bat-Mite
Ten-Eyed Man
Arm-Falls-Off Boy
