Got this last night when I stopped in to the LCS for my books. Its a free catalog, about the same dimensions as a standard comic book, on gloss paper, and a slightly lower page count.
Cover features a nice Bane figurine.
Since my scanner is down, I'll give you a page by page breakdown:
*(2page spread) Bat: Arkham City figures start this off. Shown are series 2: Detective Mode Batman, Catwoman, Hush, the Riddler, the Mad Hatter, and series 3 Clown Thug, the Penguin, and a standard Batman. There is also Concept Art for a Ra's Al Ghul figure and an Azrael figure
*Next page shows Deluxe Mr. Freeze and Croc (June), and Titan Joker (Nov)
*Dark Knight Rises statue/maquette for Bane, Batman, and Catwoman
*Dark Knight Rises busts
*Dark Knight Rises 6" figures as Computer Rendered "Sculpt in Progress"
*Bronze Patina Statues of Jim Lee Batman and Superman
*Bat: B&W: Aragones, Sam Keith, Mignola
*(2page Spread) more Bat: B&W: Darwyn Cooke, DCnU Jim Lee, Jock with Concept art for Bolland Joker, and Kelley Jones Bane
*(2page spread) Ame-Comi: White Canary, Sapphire WW, WW, Raven (demon), Raven (Angel), Black Flash, Hawkgirl, Arisia (this is a new one for me) and a "Coming Later in 2012" blurb for: Brainiac, Harley Quinn v.2, and Holiday Catwoman
*Just-Us League of Stupid Heroes: series 1: Alfred as Superman, GA, and Aquaman series 2: Alfred as Flash, GL, and WW series 3: Alfred as Batman, Robin, and Joker
*Spy v Spy. Copy says "Vinyl Assortment" but only shows the standard Black and White so I have no idea what else to expect here.
*(2page spread) Cover Girls of DCnU: no longer only Adam Hughes' work, Raven, and WW are shown. Catwoman and Poison Ivy are concept art.
*(2 page spread) GL Animated Maquettes: Atrocitus, Hal, and Saint Walker
*(2page spread) DCnU JL: Aquaman(june), GL(june), WW(october), Superman(Jan '13), Batman(may), Flash(august), Cyborg(october) >>surprisingly, these look very nice as a whole and I might start considering buying them once they start hitting stores in May<<
*2page ad for the DCnU comics
*(2page spread) DCnU Busts: Grifter, WW, Superman, Batgirl (all "in progress"), Cyborg (completed)
*Batman 1:4 scale Museum quality statue (last costume before DCnU)
*Catwoman 1:4 scale Museum quality statue (Darwyn Cooke costume)
*GL v Parallax statue
*Bat: Dark Knight Returns: Bat v Supes statues, concept art only
*Heroes of DCU busts by Gary Frank(!): Batman and Swamp Thing shown
*inside back cover is an ad for the Arkham City video game
*back cover = Starcraft II figures: series 1: Jim Raynor, Zeratul series 2: Tychus, Kerrigan
If that is the whole year, DC Direct is scaling WAY back. Action figures are a minimal output from them this year and even statues don't seem to be as prevalent as they have been in the past.
If I am able to get some pics up I will because there are some very nice pieces in the the ads.
I hope that this is all pre-Toy Fair non-spoilers and that DC Direct will really have a strong showing, but historically, that just ain't so.
Oh well.
