If a friggin LOGO is the most interesting-sounding set of the bunch, you know you’ve screwed up. I will never make fun of Luke’s Landspeeder again because while there was a fleet of them between 2010 and 2020, at least they were always 3 years apart and we had plenty of other cool sets to chose from! With DC, it’s like nothing but Landspeeders with the occasional interesting set here and there

*sigh* I hope the Batmobiles will at least be interesting choices, so PLEASE not another Burtonmobile, Tumbler, or 66 one. So so so sick and tired of them.

This is also your reminder that we're 6 years out from the last landspeeder- double how long it tended to be. We're due for another. Honestly given how SW is going I'd welcome it.

Batman and Jonkler x3. Take it or leave it

 Rosharch is kind of DC now, isn't he? I'll take back everything I ever said about this theme if he somehow inexplicably (and probably against lego's guidelines) showed up in a set.

What's funny is even assuming two figs per set feels optimistic, no matter who they are. (Though if there is a DCEUmobile coming i'd lose it over Society Man/The Morbkler show up)

 

This is probably going to be the roughest year since 2022 when in some markets all we got was a single 4+ set, but honestly if they can get me a DCEUmobile with a new Tactical Batfleck and/or Cavill Superman, that's a win for me. I'm assuming it's a Pattmobile, comic-based one, and tumbler microfighter or something, though. At least we can now confirm they aren't "smart". This is the aslume, after all. Perhaps our insanity spares us.

Well the set lineup is rather disappointing on paper but I’ll wait until there are full on pictures and descriptions before I pass too much judgement.

I’ve actually thought a “Batmobiles Through the Ages” in speed champions style line would work, particularly if you paired them with era specific villains (e.g. a Neal Adams Batmobile with Ras Al Ghul and Man Bat) but three at once is… wow… 

With the comment one of the set designers gave about two face’s hair, maybe one will be fun like a remake of the original Batmobile set with him included in the black and white suit (yes, I did just get back from seeing my Hopium dealer, how did you guess?)

I guess our only hope at this point for even just Superman characters is for Lego to have fast tracked a DC CMF Series 2 to capitalise on it… ah who am I kidding, it’d probably be 20 years of Lego Batman based anyway

Red Claw, Hush and Hugo Strange would fit within this universe I think

 

(I wonder if Matt Reeves took TLBM into consideration when he make that statement)

I think my money’s on Hugo, with the set up that Bruce’s mother was suffering with mental health problems from the last movie, it’d make sense to explore that more with a psychiatrist villain.

As unlikely as it is, I love the image of Reeves combing through all of TLBM to make sure said villain has never appeared 

Another name I’ll throw out there, Deacon Blackfire would be a pretty wild direction for Part II to go.

Ok the Best case scenario now: BaTB Batmobile with Guy Gardner, DCEU Batmobile with Wonder Woman, Patmobile with Riddler.

Right there with you on the BaTB Batmobile train, though I fear how disappointing the real Minifigure would be compared to the gorgeous design in the video game

I assume he is talking about the secondary villain of the movie because all major villains have already shown up in movies (and there is no way there are making the movie without including at least one of the main villains).

Clayface is the only one I can think of but he is already getting its own movie. And Mad Hatter is too cartoony for a movie like this....

Red Claw, Hush and Hugo Strange would fit within this universe I think

 

(I wonder if Matt Reeves took TLBM into consideration when he make that statement)

I’m also wondering about TLBM, because if he included that, the list becomes pretty short.

As far as being a secondary of primary villain, it does sound like he’s talking the primary villain.

He also said the film would focus more on Bruce Wayne this time around. Here’s who I think it could be:

- Hush (based on his connection to Bruce Wayne, also hinted at in the first one)

- Court of Owls (somehow tie that into his parents, also has been hinted at)

- Hugo Strange (Bruce’s psychiatrist)

- Mad Hatter (loose adaptation of BtAS Perchance to Dream)

- Simon Hurt (reimagined as a distant relative and not an ancestor)

- Kite Man (explore Bruce’s irrational fear of kites )

If we end up getting a new DCEU Batmobile, I wouldn't mind Harley Quinn being included, considering how rare the TLM2 version is.

Honestly, this sounds great to me. I'm one of those folks who buys all the Batmobiles and doesn't have much interest in the more comics-based sets with wider casts of characters. Blame me!

What if the designs in the new game are what these sets are... Both the tumbler and pattinson batmobile have new designs so we could get another tumbler!

Welcome to Eurobricks!

Respectfully though, I hope not. If we have to have 3 batmobiles we might as well try and have some that haven’t been made in a while or are brand new to Lego.

 

For example:

• DCEU (with Wonder Woman)
• JLU (with John Stewart)
• Arkham Knight (with Tim Drake or Nightwing)
• BtatB (with Guy Gardner and Music Meister)

Is there any hope we can get decent minifigures in this next wave? Personally Robin has been underrepresented for the past decade+. I would love to see a ‘66 batgirl or an updated ‘66 Robin. What other figs might bring some buzz and excitement to this giant Batman logo/ batmobile (x3) wave? Trying to be optimistic 🤞

I don't know, a $30 tumbler seems like it would be tiny. Does the game one look that small?

These sets are $30, I'd be shocked if they came with more than two minifigures each. Realistically, even in a good scenario we're looking at around 6 figures max, and 3 of them will be batmen.

Depends on your definition of decent. If you want a bunch of new characters, you’re screwed. If you just want high quality versions of different Batman and Joker with lots of printing, you’re probably still screwed. If you want 3 generic Batman minifigures, congrats, you’re Lego’s target audience.

 

[doclord]

I'm guessing Batman and Robin, Batman Forever and The Batman?

Well, technically their target audience is people who want new characters or high quality figs but will settle for these sets. If you don't want to settle for this, everybody remember that you as a consumer don't have to purchase these. You aren't being held at stud-shooter point to buy products. But if you do, you're telling lego you're totally fine with these sets and figure compositions.

The Batman for sure. I think I'm gonna guess The Batman, DCEU, and a comic-based one, but that might be a bit of hopium.

[calebcold3]

If I had to guess the minifigures for the Batmobiles I think we'll be getting:

76331: 1966 (Batman and Bruce Wayne)

76332: Battinson (Batman and Alfred)

76333: Dawn of Justice (Batman and Superman)

I feel like those minifigure choices would be easy figures for LEGO to put in the sets, as half of them would be using reused parts or are figures from other sets. 

[BrickBob Studpants]

Yeah, there’s no way the three Batmobiles come with more than two minifigs each. We just had a $100 one and the 66 one last year with only one minifig each, and the previous sets usually featured two, and those were more expensive than the upcoming ones. The BatS one was the only outlier with three minifigs

Best case, the logo comes with costumed versions of Bane, Scarecrow, and Killer Croc, and the three Batmobiles each include one sidekick or villain that isn’t Jonkler.

Totally going to be:

• Superfriends with Hal Jordan
• BtaB with Guy Gardner
• JLU with John Stewart

 

I would want these all to include 3 minifigs (1 Batman, 1 Ally and 1 villain) but it’ll probably just be one Batman without leg printing.

With this being Lego Batman’s 20th anniversary (conveniently forgetting the years that passed between the original theme ending and the Superheroes theme booting up in 2012), hopefully the budget for minifigure prints and moulds will be slightly more generous? I feel like a clown for even hoping for that.

With Battinson especially, the minifigure always felt too simple to me. I’m glad the print at least is somewhat updated for Legacy of the Dark Knight.

They did the same for HP with an even larger gap between 2011 and 2018 (or 2016, if you count Dimensions)

Buddy, we’re getting three Batmobiles and a logo next year. This theme ain’t getting diddly.

[rome00150]

Geez all they do is Batmobiles. I'm surprised this theme gets Lego enough money to justify keeping it around 

[DaredevilFan]

I really hope we get a Modular this year, a Daily planet or Hall of Justice would still make the year better than most. At least the Prices are good for Batmobiles 😂

In the past, we’ve gotten one set earlier in the year (January in all but one instance) with minifigures that are later used in the modular building. So, either that tradition is breaking, we’re getting another Batman modular, or the modular is going to Marvel. Personally, I’m betting on either a Baxter building or Oscorp (the current one will be retired at that point and The Daily Bugle will have retired, meaning Lego is gonna need a new flagship Spider-Man set).

Daily Planet would be a great choice for 2027 though, given the release of Man of Tomorrow and Superman being the most iconic character left who hasn’t gotten a modular building.

A nice healthy dose of Oscorp Copium, inject that goblin serum DIRECTLY into my veins. PLEASE, lego. And as I've been saying since last year, if we do get one, Kaine, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Luna Snow.

Is system oscorp really retiring only a year or so from release? I thought it was usually 1.5 years for a system set (unless it gets extended).

There's some sort of budget share going on in this theme (which I never understood given it's two different companies), which might mean so long as marvel sets are doing good they can keep it on life support.
