I know many characters where teased in the bugle that didn't get made such as kingpin but did any have 2 teases? and with 1 being physical? such as the clay on the broken bars or the sandman's hand in the NHW set. 
just think they have teased more than a slight nod and that might mean a minifigure down the line. 

Not sure about the Bugle specifically, but in the X-Mansion there’s two teases for Apocalypse (pyramid underneath the mansion, symbol on chalkboard), two for Nightcrawler (poster on back and sword in dumpster), and two for Jubilee between the set and GWP (bubblegum hidden throughout the mansion and Cerebro monitor). So far, we haven’t seen any of them.

Do we think the 2 clay faces teases in Arkham are similar to sandman's in the spiderman NWH set? is it possible we get an extension set next summer with two-face, clayface, batman?

I’m not sure there will be an “expansion” set, but a set including Clayface feels likely. I’m especially hopeful because there are technically three teases (if you count the mugshot on the screen and the card he’s holding in the mugshot as separate).

I wonder why he wasn't included in the set if they are happy to reference him and have all the parts and moulds with the slim guy head

Budget. Recolouring existing pieces isn’t cheap either

They wasted a recolour on jokers hair no one asked for. use the same hair as the 2023 batmobile and recolour slim guy

ah fair my mistake so there was no recolours for the figs that makes more sense now and no new modules they probably only used the budget to make new prints for faces and some torsos.

I could be wrong on this, but I thought Lego used different molds for transparent pieces vs opaque pieces. So, not only would it be a recolor, but it’d also be an entirely new mold, which is even more expensive.

They stopped having to cut new molds like that when they switched from PC for transparent parts to MABS. They still do cut new molds like the old days sometimes, but it's rarer than it used to be.

They DID use a new mold on Batwoman for no apparent reason- no way they held onto the 2018/19 mold for six years- as well as a new recolor on Batwing.  (I still stand by that this should have been Nightwing and Red Hood if the theme continues to be dead, or Orphan and Signal if they plan on giving us the other two in normal sets at some point, but even if you want batwing, I've always remembered him as having a mostly exposed head with sort of a pointy domino mask.)

Batwing's mask is from the Val Kilmer fig I think

Oop, you're right. Glad we're charging $100 for that set, by the way. Really makes that one minifigure worth it.

Im honestly surprised the TLBM Arkham has 0 votes so far

I can see why most people prefer the 2013 or 2025 versions (even though I‘d personally place the TLBM version above the 2013 one), but I‘m more surprised the 2006 one has more votes. Must be nostalgia

I think the 2006 one has the dark colours people like every other one has lighter colours. 
I'm planning to get the new one and replace all the light grey bricks with the dark grey, add 2 more floors, add the top part from the 2013, add gargoyles and the black statues for the gate and I think that will be the perfect Arkham

It already got a mercy vote

I think the Lego Batman Movie Arkham has the odds stacked against it in that it's not old enough to have nostalgic value for most people on this forum AND it's also not the newest, biggest version like the modular D2C one, using all kinds of modern techniques and pieces to really shine. It's not that it's bad, it's just not the best in any one particular category

Exactly, LEGO is too kind to us

[CloneCommando99]

It’s a shame that Nightwing isn’t included in Arkham. But at least he’s referenced to by the presence of Damian Wayne and rocks on the floor.

Of course EB falls into a coma right when a wave of news hits  

So, we have 3 DC sets in March! Fingers crossed for something more exciting than just more Batmobiles and Jonklers  Regular costumes for Killer Croc, Scarecrow, and Bane would be a good start!

Batmobile, Batwing, and Batcave

Someone tried to sabotage the Tie Avenger campaign.
 

76330: is almost certainly a Buildable bat logo. Or DC logo with the World’s Finest. Though I’d love this to be a T-Jet in the style of the Milano and AoU Quinjet. Or even a Batwing from Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong.

76331: Lego, please I beg you let this be a Green Lantern vs Sinestro mech duel pack (we know those are returning with Spidey vs Doc Ock). You can include Batman as the 3rd figure, or as the lantern for all I care. I just need some GL content. (BATB based with Guy, Sinestro and GL Batsy would be peak)

76332: my heart says T-Jet or Fortress of solitude, my brain says Burton Batmobile remake.

 

Though the 9+ age rating is interesting. And it’s been a while since we had mid-size play-sets.

I do recon a new Batcave is likely it would have been 7 years since the last playscale one. Hopefully they put in bane, killer croc or scarecrow with full torsos. 
Hopefully a Supergirl and superman movie set
and lastly probably a joker mech 

[BrickBob Studpants]

The prices are $80, $30, and $30 respectively. Hopefully no Batmobiles or Batwings, but we‘ll see
