I require Lego to release the DC and Marvel Minifig Collections of blind box heroes they will never make like Squirrel Girl, Catman, and King Shark. NOW.

DC came in after the Lego/Marvel breakup and has been going on and off since. They have Marvel and DC sets out concurrently including characters from Spiderman, X-men, Avengers and several DC sets including Superman Wonder Woman and Batman with villains.

Also: Is it just me or is Bane's face being unzipped?
I want White Batman, Batman, Damian, Freeze, Penguin, Scarecrow, Aquaman and Prisoner Joker.

LEGO are still as progressive as ever, then.
It's kind of a boy's toy. Your complaint would be like me complaining how few boys are in the BRATZ line.......

It was always one Ken with ten Barbies forced into being a cheating bastard, or one had to go into strange waters and make one of the stuffed animals a 'man' too.

I mean, they could have released a Batgirl or Catwoman figure as well, maybe they did, it's just that they didn't come out as impressive and to be honest most of my favourite Marvel/DC characters are male, partly because half of the women are all the same. I suspect there's just bigger demand this way.

But I really don't think Spider-Man translates well.
I MUST have that Doom.
we can mix and match dc and marvel? excellent
