Available August 2017

The LEGO Group have revealed some seriously cool new sets based on Warner Bros. Pictures upcoming Justice League. The sets boast all the iconic DC Comics heroes and may even offer some hints as to what will appear in the film itself.



Battle of Atlantis

Team up with Aquaman and the Atlantean guards to stop the super-jumping Parademon stealing the Mother Box in this all-action LEGO® DC Comics Super Heroes Battle of Atlantis set. The underwater Atlantis scene features a grand arch to knock over with the Parademon’s Super Jumper. Also includes the Mother Box and 4 minifigures with assorted weapons to add to the role-play battle fun.


Knightcrawler Tunnel Attack

Drive and crawl with Batman’s all-terrain vehicle and reclaim the Mother Box from the evil Parademons, in this exciting LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Knightcrawler Tunnel Attack set. The Knightcrawler features 4 posable limbs, each with 2-wheel tracks, plus dual 6-stud rapid shooters and an opening cockpit for Batman. Includes 4 minifigures with weapons—including Batman’s Batarang, The Flash’s 2 Power Blasts and the Parademons’ handheld stud shooters—to ramp up the role-play battle action.


Flying Fox: Batmobile Airlift Attack

Team up with the Justice League against Steppenwolf and the Parademons to claim the precious Mother Box, in this exciting LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Flying Fox: Batmobile Airlift Attack set. The Flying Fox features a 2-minifigure cockpit with a lift-off canopy, 2 spring-loaded shooters, 2 stud shooters and space inside for the Batmobile with an opening cockpit, 3 stud shooters and adjustable wings. Includes 6 minifigures with weapons—including Cyborg’s attachable stud-shooting arm—plus a Steppenwolf big figure.

All three Justice League LEGO sets are set to arrive August 1 and range in price from $19.99 to $129.99.

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman's (Henry Cavill) selfless act, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) enlists newfound ally Diana Prince to face an even greater threat. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to recruit a team to stand against this newly awakened enemy. Despite the formation of an unprecedented league of heroes -- Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash -- it may be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions.

Justice League is set for release November 2017.

Box Office Update: Wonder Woman Moves Ahead of Batman v Superman

Box Office Update: Wonder Woman Moves Ahead of Batman v Superman

Truly Wonderful

By Alex Burns



Warner Bros. Pictures' Wonder Woman continues a truly wondrous first outing at the world wide box office. Dipping a mere 39% in its fourth weekend of release, with an estimated $25.175 million, the latest instalment of the DCEU bordering on $320 million domestically. What is even more impressive, considering Wonder Woman was viewed as a risky project by WB for decades, is the fact that the film is now out-pacing all three of the previous DCEU releases. Wonder Woman has passed Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which made $311.3 million after the same number of days in release. 

Further cementing Wonder Woman's place as the most commercially successful film in the current DC Comics slate is the fact that it has now out-grossed Man of Steel's final domestic total, $291.04 million, and it's only a matter of time before the Patty Jenkin's directed feature pushes past Suicide Squad (325.1 million) and Batman v Superman ($330.4 million) completely. This domestic performance will make Wonder Woman the third biggest DC Comics adaptation domestically, behind only The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises.

Internationally, Wonder Woman added another $20.5 million from 65 markets for an overseas cume of $334.5 million. Whilst internationally the film is behind the other DCEU projects it should best Man of Steel's total of $377 million. Overall, Wonder Woman has now topped $635 million worldwide and as it currently stands is the sixth largest DC Comics adaptation of all-time worldwide. The film also had a much tighter production budget of $150 million, whereas Man of Steel, Batman v Superman and Suicide Squad all pushed well past $200 million plus marketing. While Wonder Woman may not gross more than the other DC film's final worldwide totals, it may well be more profitable due to this sensible budgeting from WB. That worldwide tally also makes Wonder Woman the highest grossing female-directed feature of all time, Patty Jenkins take a bow.
