DCEU is a DC Comics subtheme launched in 2013. It is based on DC Comics' extended cinematic universe. It was long dubbed the DC Extended Universe, or "DCEU," by fans, and confirmed on the HBO Max streaming service.
Overview[]
This sub-theme to DC Comics Super Heroes was first released in 2013 to promote Man of Steel. Since then, LEGO has released, as part of this sub-theme, sets for every movie that followed, except those which have a more mature nature like Suicide Squad and the R-rated Birds of Prey, or surrounded in controversy, such as The Flash. The sub-theme has recreated various iconic vehicles, like the Batmobile, the Batwing and Black Manta's submarine. It has also featured locations such as Gotham, with the Bat-signal, and Atlantis, home of Aquaman. Besides regular sets, this sub-theme has released one exclusive San Diego Comic-Con International minifigure, 3 polybags, one accessory set and 5 BrickHeadz sets for Justice League. Since Wonder Woman 1984, no new sets based on the DCEU have been released, and the theme was canceled coinciding with the DCEU's cancellation, and subsequent reboot as the DC Universe (DCU).

Notes[]
- In addition to the physically released minifigures, there are also several new minifigures and variants, based on their DCEU designs in DLC packs for both LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham (Man of Steel Pack) and LEGO DC Super-Villains (2 Aquaman packs, 2 Shazam! packs and a Justice League pack).
- These characters include Lara Lor-Van, Queen Atlanna, Vulko, Dr. Sivana, Deathstroke and others.
- So far, none of the R rated movies (Birds of Prey, Zack Snyder's Justice League and The Suicide Squad) have received tie-in sets.
- Suicide Squad, Black Adam, Shazam: Fury of the Gods, The Flash, Blue Beetle and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom are the only non-rated R DC Extended Universe film to receive no tie-in LEGO sets.
- In the case of the former, this is possibly due to the still more mature tone of the film.
- The closest that LEGO ever did was Harley Quinn's design in The Lego Movie 2 set, Welcome To Apocalypsburg!, that is strongly inspired by Suicide Squad.
- Although not official tie-in sets, 76053 Gotham City Cycle Chase and 76055 Batman: Killer Croc Sewer Smash were released in 2016 (same year as Suicide Squad) and featured multiple characters from the film. However, the situations and character designs in these sets more closely resemble their comic book counterparts rather than their film counterparts.
- A set based on The Flash was planned for release, but was scrapped, presumably due to the controversy surrounding lead actor Ezra Miller's erratic behavior months before the film's release.
- In the case of the former, this is possibly due to the still more mature tone of the film.
- In 2024, the Harley Quinn skin in Fortnite received a LEGO Style to be usable in LEGO Fortnite experiences, also inspired by her look in Suicide Squad.
- An Aquaman minifigure based on his DCEU version, appeared in The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part and The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame, also voiced by Jason Momoa.
- Although the design looks more like his "Rebirth" version, the Shazam! polybag was released to promote the 2019 movie of the same name.
