Comics were definitely happier, breezier and more confident in their own strengths before Hollywood and the Internet turned the business of writing superhero stories into the production of low budget storyboards or, worse, into conformist, fruitless attempts to impress or entertain a small group of people who appear to hate comics and their creators. -- Grant Morrison, 2008

Superman vs. Doomsday, Azzarello's Olympus family, Emotional corps and entities, Flash vs. Rogues, Aquaman/Mera vs. Ocean Master/Black Manta, Black Adam, Doom Patrol, Crime Syndicate...
and no more Batman.
That would be pretty damn awesome!
I get most of the LEGO DC and Marvel sets, I wish the DC sets branched out more than just Batman (Marvel seems to be fine doing it but I guess they have more movie appeal). That being said we have got some great DC Minifigures though, here's a photo of a Superhero minifig display I made from an IKEA picture frame, haven't added recent Guardians of Galaxy purchases yet, and sadly Hulk does not fit
Thanagar with Hawkman and Hawkwoman.
Shazam Family:
Billy Batson, Captain Marvel (call him Shazam if you must), Cap Jr., Mary Marvel, Sivana, Black Adam, Tawky Tawny, The Wizard.
Playsets: Rock Of Eternity, Sivana's lab.
The Lego Rise of the Vampires playset, based on the I,Vampire and JLD crossover.
This set contains not only shirtless vampire people minifigures to draw in that demographic, but also a Lego Justice League Dark (seriously - who wouldn't want Constantine and Deadman minifigures?) and of course MORE BATMAN MINIFIGURES!!!!!
I also wouldn't mind seeing sets for The Sandman, All-Star Western, and Earth-2 made in my little dream world...

I am mostly a minimate collector (say what you will, but as far as block figures figures go Minimates triumph all) but alas, DC Direct cancelled the DC line waaaay too early (let's hope that DC Collectibles corrects that) so I have to turn to Lego for my DC fix. Sets I'd like to see, hmmm....
1)Wayne Manor plus Batcave as a Modular (let's hope that the Lego Ideas Manor becomes a reality).
2)Legion of Doom base. I'd loooooove a comleted Legion of Doom plus their HQ in all their glory.
3)A hyper detailed Watchtower.
I'd love an Aquaman one with Mera, Black Manta, and Ocean Master
Minimates are block figures, meaning they are normal figures but with the block/lego aesthetic. The difference is that Minimates aren't restricted by any rules so they can still make guns and all that (hell, we now have Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction mates). Plus, they have 14 points of articulation so they move much, much, better than lego, while also having a lot more detail. It's basically a shrunken down 6 inch fig. Now don't get me wrong, I still love the lego figs but I'm not going to buy any marvel sets since I already have close to 2000 marvel mates. But the DC ones I try to buy them all since we currently don't have any DC minis.
The problem I have with Lego though is that nowadays the sets aren't "sets". You get a spaceship or a car, plus some figures and that's it. I want real sets, with floors and rooms and many pieces and various other things. I don't want vehicles.
I would love it if they had blind bagged superhero series (like the blind bagged minifigure series and recent simpsons series). Both Marvel and DC series would make me ecstatic, they could plow through a lot of characters / variations that way and they wouldn't need to shoehorn them into movie tie in sets. Also while I enjoy building the sets they are mostly a bonus for me as my goal is the minifigures, that being said though I built the new Guardians of the Galaxy Milano ship today and it is AMAZING, usually I put the sets in storage but that one is staying out on display.
