Bruce Wayne and Batsuit polybag is coming. We’re getting a new Bruce Wayne minifig. Which suggests a Lego Batcave next year.

 

Hopefully the suit is a new or decent one. But probably not and just the basic 1989 one we’ve been getting.

Wait is this 2026 polybag?

It also looks like there’s an emphasis on skins, so should be able to choose versions of character we like. P

God I hope so especially since the Golden Age preorder skin suggests they’re doing comic skins. I have a personal skin wishlist for Batman, Nightwing and Batgirl (aside from obvious bases)

Batman

1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 

Nightwing

1. 
2. 
3. 
4. 

Batgirl

All 3 please.

I love that not only is that an absurd character roster- everyone's favorite, Talia Al Ghul- but calls out 3/4 abilities nobody would ever associate with that character. Ah, yes, Jim Gordon's famous Foam Sprayer. Batman's notorious Bat Claw.

I thought the exact same reading it, Batman's Bat Claw kinda seems like how Turtle would describe something ngl.

Talia I imagine is only there because of TDK trilogy beats requiring her, you can't really have Gordon or Catwoman be with Bruce in the training level.

The fact Nightwing and Batgirl are here does make them not being included over Batwoman in Arkham funnier.

Looks like someone forgot about that iconic scene in The Dark Knight where Riddler sneaks up on Gordon but then Gordon pulls out his iconic foam sprayer and sprays foam all over Riddler. And then Batman shows up and says “Wow, Gordon, it’s a good thing you carry that foam sprayer with you everywhere you go” and then uses his Bat Claw to claw some bats.

That foam sprayer really is a beacon of hope for the people of Gotham, originally the Batsignal was actually of the foam sprayer but James was modest enough to let the bat take it to get his name out there

76330 will be a life sized buildable version of Gordon’s foam sprayer.

source: none needed, it’s just obvious

I hope it includes a soundbrick so it can be $140 and play sounds from the game.

I saw gameplay of it and it actually looks pretty fun it turns them into a bowling ball and you can knock them in to people 😂

I don't think that the Nolan or Reeve films are that fantastical or comic-booky so in my opinion they are a poor decision to make a LEGO Batman game on.

This is an excellent point- why base the funny lego game on the two most grounded batman franchises?

Oh man, I totally forgot riddler was even in TDK, but you're right. Isn't that the movie where batman tries to come up with a plan but Nightwing goes "Do I really look like a guy with a plan? It's Winging time" and Nightwings over the two boats?

I understand that Talia is there only so you can have a Player 2 during the Training levels, but who would want that? Why does Gordon have a foam spray to foam his enemies? Why the hell would I want to do that?

I cannot make the joke I want to make about what her special attack would be in this forum

Anakin vs Obi-Wan fight at the end of the training levels but instead of a sick battle between players she pokes batman with a needle and the level just fades to black and ends.

It'd be interesting if Robin was Damian, since he's the only version we've gotten recently and Nightwing implies it won't be the iconic Dick Grayson Robin. My assumption is that they'll either just completely ignore his birth and just never explain why he's there, or we'll get the sanitized "Talia stole Bruce's DNA and used it to grow a clone in a lab" version.

Unfortunately we know he wasn't involved in the creation of this game- there's no indication the Shadow Box is the hub world, nor that Purple-13 are the main enemies.

I'd assume so too, it's just unfortunate that they're constraining themselves in this way.

It really does- at least batwing is new for the theme and moreso obscure than disliked- Batwoman is probably the most disliked member of the bat-family. Even IN-UNIVERSE iirc, at least since Jason changed from villain to antihero.

I'm glad you're on a first name basis with the commissioner and were accordingly able to give us this backstory. The Gordons were, of course, the family that invented the self-defense measure known as Silly String.

[HeirOfWakanda]

I’m not quite sure why anyone would be surprised that they’re choosing the Nolan and Reeves stuff over the DCEU when the sales of the DCEU stuff is probably a major reason why Lego no longer does anything DC that’s not Batman. I’m sure they’ll eventually throw in a Batfleck alternate outfit or something down the road.

Such a bizarre choice. Almost as odd as Talia’s magic box that pops out little Batman clones.

Yeah, I've long said the same more broadly with the theme, DCEU sets tanked so bad it'll be super long before they touch it even with a collectable Batmobile

Yeah, he goes bowling with me and the Dummy on Sundays, great guy, doesn't play much though, just sorta slinks in a corner talking about cheating on his wife and his "Rat-Bastard" son, big fan of Superworm though for what it's worth, always brings the foam sprayer.

Like I get them wanting to use a female character instead of like Nightwing but Cass is RIGHT THERE

He also can just be consensually his son, the original story has that, the rape was an accidental retcon by Morrison because they misremembered the original story as having that element when it didn't

I can see what happened:

2024, Billund:

Lego: "We need a batman game. Those used to be popular."

*Lego slides TT games a list of the sets they've put out the past few years*

TT games: "Oh... no other superheroes? Just Batman? Ok... no system sets based on the comics... looks like we can do... huh... Bale, Battinson, or Keaton. But we really only have Joker and 1-2 other villains. Ok, I guess we could mix them up a bit so we could use all the villains, bring in Batgirl from the 4+ sets, and that gets us... something. Are you guys planning on putting out more comic sets or sets based on other superheroes?"

Lego: "Maybe. But they'll be either extremely small or extremely expensive, and it'd be like 1-2 max."

The game I think came from WB wanting it rather than LEGO pushing for it, think it entered development with their push for putting their prime IPs in games to salvage WB games.

But it's not an accurate representation aimed at collectors, it's some sort of weird amalgam meant for kids. You'd think that the universe that actually has a justice league would provide enough gameplay options that it could at least be ONE of the universes taken to make the story.

If that's an actual move in her moveset there's no possible interpretation besides it being a reference to the test tube clone Damian backstory.

So long as he brings the iconic Foam Sprayer, it's all worth it.

 

Cass and Spoiler would both have not only been much more likeable options but would provide new characters, whereas batwoman is unpopular, not particular iconic, and required a new mold despite us already having gotten her in sets. There's literally no metric where she comes out on top besides maybe being slightly more well known, but at the same time... batwing's in the set. I'll maintain if it included existing characters it should've been Nightwing and Red Hood, and if it was new ones it should have been Orphan and Signal. (And Tim replacing Damian as Robin)

I guess that's possible especially if she's playable and therefore assumably a "good guy". I just had her in my head as a "bad guy" and assumed it would be weird for kids if batman had a kid with a bad guy.

That's even more sad then, assuming lego in that case constrained them to sets and characters on shelves in the past 4-5 year and didn't tell them about Arkham until it was too late.

I don’t think that version of the Justice League is one WB or much of the audience is particularly keen to see more of, though. If we do eventually get some sort of Justice League DLC I’d imagine it’d be comic based rather than the film.

Also not helping Batfleck is his lack of solo material, which I’m sure made him even easier to pass over here. Maybe if they do some general DC /JL sequel in the future they’ll mine from those films, but as of now it’s pretty understandable why he’s not a priority.

The outline of Batfleck’s Batmobile can be seen in the list, so there will at least be his Costume and Batmobile in game. So that’s good for fans of his. So far there’s confirmed 35 skins so should be something for everyone to enjoy 

[Rwbricks]

In an interview about the game, one of the people working on it (the video didn’t say who he was), confirmed that Bat-Mite and Condiment King are in the game, Superman and Peacemaker are not, and a bunch of others got “no comment.” 
 

The best information, though, was that Bateman might be in it. We may get LEGO State Farm Jason Bateman (in a game, but still). 

[Mandalorianknight]

Yup-  it sounds like even though there won't be anyone outside the bat family (presumably because they aren't being allowed to, I doubt TT games would intentionally handicap their roster like that), we're at least getting more characters than just the ones in recent sets and the Reeves/Nolan films.

Honestly the guy's reaction to the Bateman question looked like "no, but I will now be emailing State Farm the second I get out of this interview to change that". Like it hadn't happened yet but he wanted him to be in the game.

In the full clip it seems like it's gonna be a joke about the bat credit cardI think, he emphasises there's a reference and a card.

Hope the no comment for Polka-dot Man means he will appear, my favourite loser villain

Y'know, I was really hoping one of the March sets would be for Superman...then I saw this game and have been obsessed with it for the past few days, blending Arkham with the Lego games sounds like the greatest game of all time. I NEED one of those sets to be the updated Battinson Batmobile along with that new version of his Batsuit, but that godforsaken cowl is going straight in the trash. I didn't think Lego would make me hate it faster than the 2012 cowl that they've used for over a decade, but they somehow accomplished it in 2 years. At least the 2012 cowl on the original Battinson minifigure had the correct EAR length.

Regardless, I'm 99.9% confident we're getting it as a set with how much it's being pushed in the marketing with a life size version built for Gamescom and it being the starting Batmobile in the game. It's SUCH an upgrade from the original set design, especially with the front hood and the rear 'fins' that look way more accurate now. It looks almost exactly like some of the MOCs that I've seen of it, which isn't a bad thing at all.

[HeirOfWakanda]

I’d love if they put this Batmobile in.

A Battinson Batmobile with Speed Champions scaling / building techniques would be fantastic. The Speed Champions designers work literal magic as far as I’m concerned.

As much as I wish the redesigned Pattmobile means something, the game trailer also features the Tumbler with a new design too that resembles neither the 2021 nor 2025 sets. I think they just decided to create new builds for these vehicles just for the game, although I’d love to be wrong.

[DaredevilFan]

The Bruce/Batman polybag is coming Jan 1st, so most likely won’t be a pre-order bonus. Also would be weird for the Bruce minifig to release before a Batcave set if that was coming. Guessing it’ll be the 4+ Batman with Bruce made from spare parts 

The Battinson Minifig uses the cloth cape piece, whereas the Nolan and 4+ use the new rubber piece in the game. So not sure if that makes the Battinson more unlikely, unless it’s back to cloth so it can fit in a downsized version of the Batmobile aka the game one (hopefully)

While this is true, to be fair a big part of it is all the new pieces they make. That's not a knock against them- they certainly create incredible techniques and part usages often, and I love getting those new pieces- but a lot of the magical shaping comes from the fact that they do just create new wedges on a regular basis.

 

I'd be fairly happy with the $30 set being the new Pattmobile with the game figure, although I'd be shocked if we really got dual-molded printed legs on Pattman given we're unlikely to see him appear in too many sets, unless the sets are also going to do the era-mixing the game's done.

GUYS!!
Hopium time:

Batman BatB is confirmed to be in Legacy of the Dark Knight, and has been very prevalent in the marketing so far. The Devs have also claimed that every Batmobile is in the game. These combined suggest that a BatB Batmobile set is now more likely than ever.

What was BatB’s standout feature? It featured team ups with other heroes. I reckon that after Superman’s success, Lego may be more willing to capitalise on DCU hype.

Now, which confirmed major DCU characters were also major recurring characters in BatB? Guy Gardner, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. (Of course there were other iconic characters who are unconfirmed for the DCU as of yet such as Vixen, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Captain Marvel and Black Canary)

 

Therefore, to capitalise off of both DCU and Legacy of the Dark Knight hype, it would be highly logical for Lego to make a BatB set featuring the Batmobile and Batman in the game and DCU characters who have upcoming or released projects like: Guy Gardner, Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. (Villain would naturally be Music Meister)

Then again Lego isn’t logical, so this most likely won’t happen.

Definitely some hopium. I have a few points here:

1. We can reasonably assume most of the skins that aren't already figures won't be showing up in sets. I think a Pattmobile with the new Pattsuit or something is possible, but obviously we're not getting Rainbow Batman. The more unlikely suits are the ones more resource-intensive for lego to make and who wouldn't fit with lego's set release trends. The Pattsuit seems like a possible candidate for a future set, as while the legs seem a bit detailed for a DC figure in 2025, it has plain arms, as well as the fact that it's updated from the 2022 costume at all, whereas other 2022 figures remain the same in game. It also has a batmobile that looks 100% recreatable with real bricks, and would fit lego's trend of basing their sets off movies. Rainbow Batman, to again use as an example, features printed arms and impossible-to-manufacture cowl printing, as well so we know that design's not coming. The TBATB suit features cowl printing, dual-molded AND printed arms, and while I couldn't tell from the promo video whether or not the legs were printed, they're at least dual-molded. That's an absurd amount of detail for a DC minifigure- clearly we won't be seeing the suit, at least with that level of detail. 

2. Releasing a set based on TBATB would go against lego's current handling of the theme. Almost every system set in the past 4 years has been based on batman movies, with the main exception being BTAS. While BTAS and TBATB are both cartoons, BTAS has a few notable differences. It's significantly more popular and well-regarded among adults- it's the highest-rated superhero show on IMDB and 24th highest rated show of all time. (Right below Sherlock and right above Dexter: Resurrection and Better Call Saul, if anyone was wondering.) It's also around 35 years old, meaning the nostalgia factor is well baked in. TBATB is a lot more campy, a much younger show, and didn't have anything close to the massive and enduring popularity of BTAS. Even if more sets based on batman-focused cartoons were coming, I'd say a JLU batmobile or The Batman batmobile would be more likely, as those shows are older, more culturally relevant (at least in JLU's case, though I think The Batman tends to be the most brought up non-DCAU batman cartoon), etc.

3. Even if you believe superman was a big success, there is zero chance that lego would have adapted so quickly as to have put a set into production, told the TT games design team about it, and had them make and finish a skin based on the minifigure they'd somehow already designed for the set within a little over a month. (Not to mention, I don't think superman even did well enough to get a single tie-in fasttracked, much less that it did so well as to convince lego to completely change their DC strategy and start putting more obscure JLs in the theme that barely managed to get two characters outside the bat-family on shelves in a half-decade. It barely cracked $600 mil on a budget THR rumors to be as high as $400 mil after marketing, meaning it, like the rest of the superhero movies this year, likely lost money.)
