Not sure if there will be any samples, but during their panel, TLS previewed wave 2, which so far features the Jackhammer and Hurricane. In addition, more 40th Anniversary black and gold sets are...

I’m guessing preorders will be due soon for that play set. That’s clearly a “promotional image”, and it’s even showcasing a few new figure, probably refreshes for the fall.

Looks like the battle...

We probably won’t know for sure until Warner does a big press release on merch support, or Toy Fair (in March). Whichever happens first.

You're right...because Hasbro wouldn't have had access to the lucrative Batman or Star Wars licenses or other lucrative licenses.
