A Batman Forever/And Robin Arkham but all the villains are in orange jumpsuits. A Batmobile and Arkham based on the games would be amazing but I feel like the ratings of the games makes them highly unlikely Here in Ireland, all the games were 12+ expect for Arkham Knight which was 18+ Quote
BatDeanj Posted January 23 Posted January 23 (edited) They made sets for the marvel avengers game which was 16+ in alot of places. Edited January 23 by BatDeanj Quote
Lego Nostalgia Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Well actually I think Origins was 16+, could be wrong but Asylum and City were 12 I'm pretty sure Arkham being based off the games isn't impossible though, they're pretty tame compared to other games Quote
BatDeanj Posted January 23 Posted January 23 We found out the shadow box was based on returns in march so we will be wondering for another 2 months probably Quote
Lego Nostalgia Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Same amount of violence like The Batman or BVS I can't believe I'm getting my hopes up for an Arkham games based Batmobile lol It actually makes sense though, the front of it looks a lot like the forever Batmobile, plus 1 figure would probably be because it's Arkham Asylum suit Batman, any other Batmobile we get that isn't UCS comes with usually 2 figures always, it's probably a playscale 18+ version if that's possible 100$ though is odd, maybe there's a build for the Arkham Gates or something Quote
BatDeanj Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Surely they would know if it’s based on Batman forever or Arkham right have they ever mixed up like this before? Quote

Hence why Dune, the Batman, and Andor get sets, but anything rated R, TV-MA, or M doesn't. Arkham in the past was the one exception, but it was a single minifigure in the app-controlled batmobile. My guy do not gaslight yourself into thinking the forever batmobile is arkham based. We've known it's a Schumacher set for awhile. Quote

Yeah unless I missed a leaker saying something somewhere I have no idea where this is coming from, it's been explicitly stated the set is Schumacher based, and while there's some similar shaping, the Forever batmobile has a massive wing sticking out the back and some other major differences Quote

NovaBricks Posted January 23 Posted January 23 Part of me thinks it'll be BF based because that would be the dumbest possible thing, therefore the most likely thing LEGO would do. But part of me doesn't think that a $100 Batmobile would be on the same scale as a $400 building. Feels too big. Remember when everyone thought that the 89 Batmobile would be sold separate from the shadowbox? Maybe we're all just scarred from the Hulkbuster set. Quote

You have to consider that the price of a roughly-the-same-size batmobile has gone from $30 to $60 in 5 years. We shouldn't expect that the forever batmobile will be the value of a $100 set. Quote
doclord Posted January 23 Posted January 23 I don't think a mixup is out of the question here, a $100 movie batmobile with one figure doesn't make any sense unless there's a twist to it. Either an age rating or a gimmick we don't know about (remote control?) Quote

Either an age rating or a gimmick we don't know about (remote control?) Two years ago we had an almost $50 batmobile with only two minifigures, which I thought was crazy at the time but is almost reasonable now. I could easily see this being a "UCS Jr" set with one minifigure. 1 hour ago, Rwbricks said: Built in scale to the Brickheadz Batman 8-pack.

Now that's just unrealistic..... they'd never give us a robin! :) Sometimes a set will spread out the budget by re-using the prints across multiple sets that release around the same time. That said, whether it's 6 prints or 9 (The BTAS D2C is in a similar catagory, having between 4 and 9-two of the 9 being leg prints, which we've been told are more expensive than torso/head ones- prints depending on whether or not it shared print budget with the Batmobile), it's clearly not enough to spread out over 10 minifigures without a big number of re-uses. My personal bet at the moment is that Arkham just gets cancelled, but if it releases and is schumacher based, my guess is it'll be new prints for Riddler and Two face minifigures and then a not-insubstantial number of guards and generic inmates alongside kitbashed Chase Meridian and somehow Bruce Wayne minifigures.

I remember being slightly confused at the pricing of the ‘66 Batmobile for $35, then the Tumbler for $40, and then the The Batman Batmobile for $30. Ah, to go back. I agree about the “UCS Jr.” remark. It definitely feels like that, though it feels like Star Wars and Marvel (to a lesser extent) have already gotten there. I’m not sure if it was intentional or not, but I like that Batman is not included in your minifigure lineup. Quote

You can't have Ivy breaking Freeze out of Arkham without Bane. I wouldn't mind Batgirl being included either. Even though she was never present at Arkham in the films it would be still nice to get the full cast of both Schumacher films, especially if there are no plans to revisit them further beyond this set.
