At least one more LEGO DC set is said to be on the way in 2026, and this one involves Superman – but don’t get too excited…
Carterbricks04 reports (via Brickmerge.de) that 40859 Golden Age Superman and Batman will be launching sometime later this year, with 218 pieces in the box for a possible retail price of $24.99 in the US. And if you know your LEGO product numbers, you’ll know that what we’re looking at here is just a duo of BrickHeadz characters.
That’s good news for anyone still collecting the blocky little statuettes, but bad news for anyone hoping for something a bit more substantial from LEGO DC in 2026 than just endless Batmobiles. There’s no word yet on when exactly we can expect this one to hit shelves (other than 2026), but perhaps we can take some small solace from the presence of Superman.
The wider DC pantheon has taken a backseat to Batman for more than half a decade now, save for a fleeting appearance from Supes in last year’s mech. Any recognition of other characters beyond Batman is worth acknowledging, which sounds daft but speaks to the state of the LEGO DC theme right now. We’re basically just feeding on scraps.
Anyway, this pair last appeared together in BrickHeadz form in 2018’s 41610 Tactical Batman & Superman, while the Caped Crusader’s last solo outing in this style was in 2024’s 40748 Batman 8 in 1. Golden Age versions of these characters would likely be brighter and more colourful than any we’ve seen before, particularly Superman, given the term refers to the characters’ original 1930s-era designs.
For now, take this rumour with the usual grain of salt. You can check out the full list of LEGO BrickHeadz 2026 sets in the table below, or visit our full LEGO 2026 sets page for a comprehensive look at this year’s portfolio.
