- Batman Brave & The Bold will continue through 2012.

- Mattel has signed a deal with Diamond to dist DC figures in Europe.

- Wave 20 Green Arrow, Reverse Flash, Hawk & Dove, Red and more.

- Wave 20 will be the final wave at retail and and they will go on sale at Matty. There will be product at retail still but not the fan favorites. See coming panel slides for more details on these.

- JLU will only continue if the ones out sell well.

- Images from Panel added. Be sure to check out for more details on DCUC products.

- Batman Legacy will continue past the 2 waves.

- Nothing to announced on a GL Animated series yet but likely at NYCC we will hear more on the future of Mattel's Green Lantern plans for both movie and cartoon.

- Again 6" figures totally aren't disappearing from retail but from the sound of it the more obscure characters will be sold online through MattyCollector and their new DCUC subscription service however things are still being ironed out so nothing is really set in stone at this point other than the figures announced today for the subscription service will only be available online.

- Oversize figures will be offered in the DC subscription service like with MOTU and the ones sold this year will be $30 figures.

- No Batmobile planned for the Legacy Line right now.

- Young Justice Hall Of Justice is around 20 ft.
