    Batman
    Two-Face
    Flash
    Captian Cold

    Not that EMCE/Mattel is gonna use the same formula for every wave but IF they do this wave follows wave 1 :

    Batman- Re-Do of Mego DC heavy hitter ala wave 1 Superman
    Two-Face- Villian for heavy hitter hero not produced by Mego ala wave 1 Luthor
    Flash- Hero not produced by Mego ala Green Latern
    Captian Cold-Villian for above Hero (this could be professor Zoom too I suppose) ala Sinestro

    Anyway all just fun speculation on my part, just can't wait to be able to walk into a Toys R Us and see these hanging on the shelves

    Well 2 out of 4 ani't bad and It could be argued I was on the right track,
    but I have no problem being wrong with Aquaman and Black Manta coming in wave 2. I better flash and the good captian will be in wave 3...

    Heck yeah! He lends himself to being an action figure in costume and design; he is a classic Flash foe...and he'd obviously have accessories; another advantage/selling point over just a Reverse Flash. Plus, every kid knows what a boomerang is so he'd be an immediate hit I think!

    The rest of your picks are awesome!

    Oops, you are absolutely right! I had intended Joker for Wave 3, then thought he'd go better in a Wave 4 with Batgirl, seeing as he crippled her and all! Actually, I don't expect any Gals for a while, Batgirl was more of a "wish list" item!

    Captain Cold - goofy. C'mon that ski parker rocks it!!! I don't know about that proposed Wave 3 - only one new figure in it (Black Adam). 3 of those figures would be remakes.

    Wave 2
    -Batman
    -Two-Face
    -Flash
    -Reverse-Flash

    Wave 3
    -Captain Marvel (SHAZAM!)
    -Black Adam
    -Robin
    -Joker

    Wave 4
    -Aquaman
    -Black Manta
    -Batgirl
    -Joker

    I would like to see them slip in Golden Agers with each assortment, but I'm sure that won't happen.

    It would stand to reason that John Stewart GL will be in an early wave. Remember how quickly his being in the first wave was announced, and then un-announced?

    Knowing Paul and Joe I would say they probably have some sweet characters in store for us in the coming years. And I'm guessing Superman Red and Blue are not amoung them.

    4.)CATWOMAN

    Get an early start on the ladies! LOL!
    Whatever they put out will be cool if they stick to the Mego era comic book look.
    Can I ammend this by saying #4 above can be interchanged with Joker or Riddler as well because after staring at my Retro Green Arrow MOC for about an hour, I was envisioning what so many other heroes would look like. I can picture in my head how bad *** Joker and Riddler would look as well!
