^Thanks for the links!  Now I can see them.

The Daily Bugle set looks good, with a nice array of 'figs.  Though I don't understand what that huge thing on the building with a picture of J. Jonah Jameson is supposed to be....
(I'm not a huge Spidey fan, though, so I wasn't especially excited for this set.)

As for the Tumbler set... oh boy.
I was excited, especially after seeing the preliminary 'fig designs from SDCC, but this set is a let-down by comparison.  I mean, The Bat has BLUE in it?!?!  Seriously, LEGO?  It reminds me of the old TIE fighter, or the 1999 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator--not a good precedent at all.  The Tumbler is downright puny and looks like a Tiny Turbo version rather than a 'fig-scale one. 
  And Batman still looks like the preliminary version shown at SDCC.  Why, why, why, especially after giving us that awesome 2011 SDCC Exclusive Batman minifig giveaway, must LEGO insist on rendering him in grey?!  (I've always wanted a black version!  It's so much more movie accurate and just looks so much better.)  His body printing looks far too silvery and shiny for my taste. 
  On the bright side, all the minifigures look great (even Batman is a huge improvement over the other versions released so far this past year).  Also, since this set is smaller than I expected, it will most likely be less expensive, which is great for me personally, as I mainly want to get the set for the minifigures and am inclined to try build vehicles/buildings from films out of my own parts instead of buying sets anyway.

Sorry for ranting a bit, I guess I got a little carried away...

I looked at the sets a bit more and I think this may work. 
The Bat in 76001 would be fine if the blue was replaced with black, or even dark gray, and the flick fire   missiles are removed.  As for the cameo Tumbler... I don't think there's any help for that.

76005: This is better than I thought it would be.  The building is fine, in a tiny sort of way.  I really like JJJ and Dr. Doom (though he may seem a bit too cartoony.  Understandable, since it is based off a cartoon ). I don't know anything about the other two figs, except that they look pretty cool!  Does the dumpster play into the cartoon episode?  I think the board with JJJ's face doesn't look too good, just because it is stickers so there is too much of a border around the image. I don't get the weird jet thing at all .  As for the building, I think that if you could afford two of these, combining the buildings might look good.

Just a few of my ideas.
Does anyone know what set is supposed to have Nick Fury?  Was it the Spider Cycle Chase? 

ps. If you haven't seen these, check out the stuff about halfway down this page.

It has the names of the upcoming Superheroes sets.  I hope the Iron Man III sets are good.  About that Marvel 4 ...

Those are the most adorable Batman vehicles I've ever seen. Sold.

Well, what I meant is that when I initially heard the name of the set and saw the minifigs, I thought the set was larger than it actually is (or apparently will be)--and hence more expensive.  Since I mainly want to get the set for the minifigs anyway (I've already built a fig-scale Tumbler out of my own parts) it's rather advantageous that the price is going to lower than I thought it would be.

Well look at this.  There are photos (albeit, not very god ones) of two new super hero sets:
76000-1: Batman vs. Mr Freeze - Aquaman on Ice
76004-1: Spider-Man - Spider-Cycle Chase

Here are the photos:

I'm guessing both of these will be about 20 dollars.  The Spider-man one looks really strange...I guess that's because I haven't seen the show.  Anyways, it's a car with rotating wheels and a motorcycle sort of thing...AND BOTH OF THEM FLY   ??  I will probably have to get this set just for Venom and (it appears) Nick Fury.  The green truck looks sort of cool if you turn the wheels.  These are the minigfigs revealed a while back (at comic-con?)

Nick Fury seems a bit bland, but Venom looks awesome!

I don't like Batman as much as Marvel, but this set looks pretty cool.  I hear this Mr. Freeze is based off of the Arkham City video game.  Again, the best part of this is the minifigs.  A white Batman is certainly new, and that face on Mr. Freeze is plain scary!  I'm glad to see we're getting more Justice League superheroes.  With Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Superman, we've got quite a few good ones.  Lucky people that got the Green Lantern minifig.

I think both of these sets have some AMAZING new minifigs...there goes at least 40 bucks!

I prefer the original Mr.Freeze, which I am fortunate enough to have, but Batman's suit and that awesome Bat vehicle (I have no idea what to call it...) ill make this set worthwhile. And Nick Fury! A must for Avengers brickfilms.

White Batman looks silly.

The Justice League!

Why LEGO?
The one time you release a Clark Kent minifigure, and it has to be in a $17 DVD set that I'd never buy otherwise.
