prefer their mythical/Greek god-type superheroes. It's especially rough when we get back-to-back Batman-only waves, and the only things in between we've gotten were Lex and Swamp Thing... LOL! Good one, Todd!!! I hope those Aquaman and Martian Manhunter rumors are true, but I'm starting to think it's some wishful fan just pretending and getting all our hopes up. I just wish it were at least 50/50. Even Marvel/Hasbro's smart enough to sprinkle in random unknowns in their BAF waves with their cash cows. Maybe DC doesn't have anyone as smart as Jesse Falcon to lead the McFarlane team, or maybe it's Todd's narcissistic passions out of control, who knows. But it also sucks that they have the master right now, so ANY hopes of DC figures lie solely on their shoulders right now. Can't really count MAFEX or Spin Master either, since SM's stuff is way too kid-ified, and the MAFEX guys only produce what they want, and most of them are huge Batman nuts.
Thing of it is is that it's a multi-layered issue. Batman is the top selling DC brand, Todd's line is still relatively new compared to say Hasbro with Marvel and they're trying to get a larger foothold in the market and needs to stick with what sells the best. Plus you have a parent company like DC/Warner who tells them what they want them to make, and since there's a new Batman movie coming they want to see some new Batman toys to go with it.
Give it some time, though, and I think you'll see more variety down the road. There's also a new Shazam, Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, and Black Adam movie coming and when they hit we'll certainly see more figures for those.
