2025 may finally be LEGO DC's year as the LEGO Superheroes theme will finally be getting a set which isn't 100% Batman-centric. The last time this feat happened was all the way back in 2020, but 5 years later and one of the three sets releasing on the 1st of January 2025 won't be Batman-related.
Unfortunately, this Batman-less LEGO DC set is another LEGO Superheroes mech. This time, however, the mech belongs to Superman who's included as a Minifigure alongside an exclusive Lex Luthor. The other two sets of this DC wave are more of the usual tropes: a brand new 4+ Batmobile and a new Tumbler, this time it's again based on The Dark Knight trilogy.
76301 Batman & The Batmobile vs. Mr. Freeze
As we already mentioned, 76301 Batman & The Batmobile vs. Mr. Freeze is a brand new Batmobile, this time aimed at the youngest of builds. The main build of the set is a very simplified version of the Batmobile that is all black but includes a printed Bat logo and space for a single Minifigure to sit in. Talking about Minifigures, a total of two are included in 76301: Batman himself and Mr Freeze with a slightly different printed torso.
Set Name - Batman & The Batmobile vs. Mr. Freeze
Set Number - 76301
Age Range - 4+
Piece Count - 63
Price - $19.99 / €19.99 / £17.99
Release Date - 1st January 2025
76302 Superman Mech vs. Lex Luthor
Our first non-LEGO DC Batman set and it's another LEGO Superheros mech of 76302 Superman Mech vs. Lex Luthor. The mech build is like every other LEGO superhero-based mech but this time is SuperMan themed being mainly coloured blue and red along with a brick-built yellow belt. The Superman logo remains strong in the middle of the torso of the mech and is most likely printed onto the brick-built model.
Just like 76301, 76302 also includes two Minifigures. These are Superman and an exclusive Lex Luther but both are likely to be very popular amongst fans having not been in LEGO form for way, way too long.
Set Name - Superman Mech vs. Lex Luthor
Set Number - 76302
Age Range - 6+
Piece Count - 120
Price - $14.99 / €14.99 / £12.99
Release Date - 1st January 2025
76303 Batman Tumbler vs. Two-Face & The Joker
Last but not least we have another LEGO Tumbler and another Tumbler based on The Dark Knight Trilogy. 76303 Batman Tumbler vs. Two-Face & The Joker is basically a $20 more expensive remake of 2021s 76239 Batmobile Tumbler: Scarecrow Showdown. This time, however, the 2025 model includes a more streamlined front of the Tumbler vehicle and a glow-in-the-dark bat signal.
The other main difference between 2021s 76239 and 2024s 76303 is the Minifigure lineup. The January 2025 set includes a total of three Minifigures: a reused animated series Batman with the moulded cape, Joker in his purple suit but no leg printing and an exclusive Two-Face. The Villian Minifigure includes a brand new hairpiece, an exclusive printed Minifigure head and an updated torso print along with plain grey legs.
Set Name - Batman Tumbler vs. Two-Face & The Joker
Set Number - 76303
Age Range - 8+
Piece Count - 429
Price - $59.99 / €59.99 / £54.99
Release Date - 1st January 2025
