Bricksfanz

“DK really know how to best show off LEGO sets and minifigures as well as including interesting information about them. I like how the book shows off various versions of characters. Plus how it showcases some of the themes most impressive sets. The DC Super Heroes theme has... More been going for quite a while now, but the book does a decent job of balancing the past with more recently aspects of the theme, including The LEGO Batman Movie.”

The Brick Fan

“As for the LEGO DC Super Heroes Visual Dictionary itself, the content is separated into three different categories, Super Heroes, Super Villains, and The LEGO Batman Movie. Before we even dive into the content, there’s a nice timeline detailing some of the more notable sets... More and other DC Super Hero properties that have been released since 2006.”
