DC Super Friends
One of the most popular divisions in the line is "DC Super Friends". Although its name is similar to the 1970s and 80s TV series simply called Super Friends, it is not directly connected to it. This world has 27 sets (not including exclusives): Batcave, Planet Oa, Motorized Batmobile, Joker's Fun House, Batwing, Batboat, Batcopter, Batmobile, Green Lantern Jet, Riddler Car, Clayface, Batmobile with Lights, Penguin Sub, Killer Croc, Hawkman and the Flash, Two-Face, the Riddler, Robin Cycle, Batcycle, Arctic Batman, Mr. Freeze, The Penguin, The Joker, Superman, and Batman.[5] A Gotham Jail, Bat-Jetpack, New Motorized Batmobile, and a new Joker Tank, were planned to be released in summer and late spring.
In May 2008, DC Comics produced an ongoing monthly comic book series based on the toyline, which ran for 29 issues.
In 2010, an original video animation based on the line named The Joker's Playhouse was included on a DVD packaged with toys. Directed and produced by Ciro Nieli and written by Brandon Auman, the story involves the Joker taking over the Hall of Justice and the Super Friends running the gauntlet to reclaim it. The main theme for the show is the same as The World's Greatest Super Friends and the opening sequence borrows from the original Super Friends series and Challenge of the Superfriends.[6]
In 2012, Imaginext released new DC Super Friends figures and play sets to be sold for the release of The Dark Knight Rises. This includes Bane, Bruce Wayne, Gotham City, Gotham City Jail, The Motorized Batmobile and Mr. Freeze's Headquarters.
In 2013, Imaginext began to introduce females into its toyline featuring Catwoman, Wonder Woman and Harley Quinn. Imaginext also began producing toys based on the DC Extended Universe, such as Superman, Aquaman, Cyborg, and Commissioner Gordon.
In 2015, Imaginext released a host of new sets and figures. This includes Sinestro, Cheetah, Firestorm, Man-Bat, Solomon Grundy and Captain Cold.[7]
