So Mattel will not say whether or not there will be either a GL Hal Jordan or Wonder Woman for the Super Friends line?
Kinda... Basically asking a question like that bombards them with to many questions at once. If they see that, they'll know there's no way to answer the question by going into the specifics and they'll pass up the question.
If they do answer it, they'll more than likely say "We're exploring characters" or "We're accited by the possiblities" Where as if you'd asked about Hal Jordan alone they would probably give a yes, no or maybe.

Here's the first batch!
BYTB: Regarding The Dark Knight's 6" figure line, it has been stated that there are going to be six characters... 3 heroes, 3 villains. Is that the count of actual figures, I.E. Begins suit Batman and TDK suit Batman would count as two characters, or is that the count of actual characters, meaning variants count separately.
MATTEL: Actually, we didn’t say it would be 3 heroes and 3 villains. Just that the line up would include both good guys and bad guys. Exactly who will be made in the 6 inch line is yet to be revealed.
Note - I've sent a response to Toyguru about this, showing him where Mattel did in fact say three each..
BYTB: Any plans for a new sculpt for The Joker? Perhaps one displaying more physical prowess than the last one? And perhaps in different clothes? Like a purple business suit to fit more in line with TDK, or a trenchcoat like the iconic '80s depictions? (It could come in handy for a Joker/Harley 2-pack with that new Harley Quinn y'all are making)
MATTEL: Because the Joker is the main villain in the new film “Batman the Dark Knight” we choose not to include him in our DCUC line for 2008 to avoid having too many Jokers on shelf at one time. (Several versions of the Joker will be available in our Dark Knight line in the summer of 2008) The Clown Prince of Crime is a character we will look at exploring for the DCUC line in the future however!
BYTB: Kenner’s The Dark Knight Collection and Batman Returns figures used the same figure molds for both those series. Will The Dark Knight figures be the same as the previous Batman Begins figures or is there all new tooling?
MATTEL: A little of both actually. You will see some older figures re-released as well as all new figures of both the villains and heroes of Gotham City.
BYTB: Also, One of our board members REALLY wants to know if we will we get Attack Armor Batman in the states?
MATTEL: At this point we’ll be concentrating on newer versions of DC characters. The older Attack Armor Batman will not be re-released in the DCUC line.

Since we're not the only ones that do the Q&A I thought I'd post links to the other sites so you can read what elose Mattel has to say.

Is he actually going to reply with an answer to that one?
