These are the DC exclusives LEGO gave out at comic conventions, most of them at San Diego Comic-Con and New York Comic Con. They started in 2011 with Green Lantern, Batman and Superman, and after that LEGO mostly chose characters that had not been made as minifigures yet, such as Shazam, Bizarro, Green Arrow, Arsenal, the Atom, Vixen and Black Lightning. 2014 brought the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, a strange version of Batman from the comics.
2015 LEGO Sets
In 2015, LEGO broadened its portfolio with new and returning themes. LEGO Dimensions launched as a toys-to-life crossover linking dozens of franchises including DC, The Lord of the Rings, and Doctor Who. New lines such as Elves, Jurassic World, Scooby-Doo, and Speed Champions debuted, while BIONICLE and Pirates returned in refreshed forms. City marked ten years under its modern branding, and Star Wars supported The Force Awakens with a major release wave. Meanwhile, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Hobbit concluded as LEGO shifted toward newer properties.
