This came out yesterday. From the pictures they look like a cross between
Kubrick and Belville styled figs, at least joint wise.
Looking at some of the (1) images with bricks and pieces, it would appear
they're making them at least somewhat compatible with LEGO or other construction
bricks.
While it's cool, it's also disappointing. After so many talented folks around
LUGNET/Brickshelf/Bricklink have made Marvel, DC and other comic related figures
quite convincingly out of LEGO, and to see LEGO license Spiderman, to then find
the equally popular DC heroes being licensed to a company that isn't currently
known for construction sets and bricks (so far as I know anyway). Of course
there's always more behind the scenes that we may know nothing of.
I guess I should be happy someone's making them at all...but I can't help
feeling cheated. They're bigger than minifig scale, even if they do seem to have
at least halfway decent articulation..bah.

1 - Rendered images? they look too "clean" image wise to be physical bricks to
me.
