According to a recent Mattel Q&A at Fwoosh.com, we can expect to see the following on display:

For DCUC we will have Wave 9 at NYCC. For MOTUC we will likely have through the June figure on display. For JLU we will have the next few three packs and singles shown. We got a bit ahead of ourselves on JLU with such a huge reveal last summer at SDCC so we are still catching up a bit on this line before we are ready to reveal more new figures.
