you forgot Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Gotham, Flash 90, Flash 14, Aquaman, Smallville, Nolan trilogy, Infinite Crisis, DC Universe online, Superfriends, Adam west batman, Shazam, Isis, Swamp Thing, etc.

Some of those would equal maybe 1 figure per series.

You have to give Mattel some time,
We had 1 wave of Arkham with a wide selection of characters, after the next Arkham wave most of the major characters are covered.
Batman 89 and Superman were the most capable of a full wave and are nearly complete.
Mattel will go after Arrow/Flash but they will slip in less current stuff when they get the chance.

You aren't going to see a full Wonder Woman or Batman Forever, etc wave
but you might see Lynda Carter Wonder Woman or Kilmer Batman slipped into an appropriate wave.

They could do a Batman 89, Smallville and then Nolan wave but the audiences for those figures are so different you don't have a core customer.

Going forward they could do something like:
Arkham W2
Tv W1[Arrow/Flash] (possibly slip Smallville Clark in, or Smallville Green Arrow as a chase)
Movie W2[89 Joker, 78 Lex ] (possibly slipping in LC Wonder Woman*)
Arkham W3
Tv W2[Arrow/Flash] (slipping in Batgirl from Birds of Pray, or Flash 90's as an alt Flash)
Future Cartoon W1 (allowing Mattel to do a cartoon's main cast without worrying over a new line)

*Fits better in the classic retro nature more so than general tv.
