Oh yeah, it's completely unlikely. But his costume is just a welding mask and a gray jumpsuit, so he isn't tricky to make a custom of anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spiderfan2000 Posted January 13 It'd be kind of sad if LEGO doesn't do BTAS stuff long enough to get around to including Two-Face, a minifigure Clayface, Mad Hatter, and/or the Ventriloquist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoupOrFishOil Posted January 13 Assuming we get Mr. Freeze (and I am disappointed by them using the orb instead of a dome), Two-Face in a black and white suit is the only BTAS variant I really want. But an affordable Catwoman (heh), Poison Ivy, Killer Croc, and (finally a) Mad Hatter would all be exciting. We'll see. Anything would be better than last year's minifigures. And I'm always up for a cool Batmobile, even if I wish that we could get more than just that and the Batwing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given 3 of the fig slots will be taken by batman, and unless one of those three sets is a batcave or something else big, there's likely 7-8 fig slots MAX across them, I honestly only think we see 1 or two characters not in the skyline- Phantasm and Freeze, since they've been hinted at. I honestly think that would be a good thing- putting the more unique villains in the system sets gives kids (and adults who don't want to shell out hundreds on the skyline) a chance at getting them. Assuming it'd have been the same number of new prints either way, I think getting new designs and figures in the cheaper sets is an absolute positive for the theme. This is my actual guess (I am not making a jonkler joke here, this is legitimate): Skyline: Batman, Jonkler, Harley, Catwoman. Buildible Figure: Batman buildible figure, no minifigs. Batwing Battle: BTAS Batwing and some sort of jonkler vehicle with Batman, Jonkler, and Phantasm. If we're lucky, Robin, Batmobile: BTAS Batmobile with Batman and a re-used villain from the skyline- we'll say Catwoman. Bat Cycle vs Mr. Freeze: Batman and Mr. Freeze. Do we have set numbers for BTAS sets? I didn't know we were getting more than the skyline Edited January 16 by Callistereo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One is the skyline of course, and one is supposed to be a buildable figure, so there's three spots left for system BTAS sets. 1 hour ago, hvader said: Batman (DC Superheroes) hahahahahah Another inmate joins the aslume.

We know one of those five is a Batmobile, one is related to a buildable figure, and at least one is 4+ (I think it was confirmed not to be the Batmobile, but I might be wrong).

Isn‘t the 4+ set a Batwing? Yeah, my excitement for these sets has dropped quite significantly. Looks like we’ll get a repeat of last year: a 4+ set, a buildable figure, two sets with a few mediocre minifigs, and a huge D2C set with 4-5 decent minifigs Edited January 16 by BrickBob Studpants Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's based on Batman: The Animated Series. We know very little about the rest of the wave. A Batmobile based on BTAS is rumoured. 76272 is rumoured to be a 4+ Batwing.

Alas_Earwax Posted January 16 This theme should head in Marvel's recent direction. Start releasing specific scenes from various movies and cover them extensively. Imagine a Penguin's Zoo lair from Batman Returns? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine a Penguin's Zoo lair from Batman Returns? Yeah, I think this could be good. Make a "DC Legacy" sub-brand or something, and make sets based on the movies people know like the Keaton Batman or Reeve Superman films.

Kaijumeister Posted January 17 With most of this year’s sets now confirmed surely it’s not long until a DC list is revealed? Keeping my expectations lower than the Batcave but can’t deny I’m excited at the prospect of BTAS coverage, even if it’s just another Batmobile and Batwing.

I have a slight bit of hope lego won't just do that, if for no other reason that having two copies of very similar looking batmobiles and batwings on shelves at the same time is such an astoundingly bad move, even for DC. You're cannibalizing probably a good 50-75% of your own sales. No kid is gonna buy a batwing, then a nearly identical batwing, even if the villain is BTAS jonkler instead of Burton Jonkler. The batmobile might do slightly better, especially if it's back at a normal price point, in which case you're still gonna decimate any future sales of the $50 batmobile, but at least it's had a year on shelves already. 44 minutes ago, BrickBob Studpants said: We technically got that last year, and ended up with three Batsy vs Jonkler sets Unless Superman Legacy revives the theme next year, it’ll be curtains at some point Just so long as we get a UCS aslume before it ends.

No wonder people are fed up with batwings, since Lego realised what's basically the same batwing in 2006, 2012, 2018, 2019 and 2023. Lego has got only three options left: 1) 4+ Batwing (most probably) 2) TNBA Batwing (very unlikely) 3) Best of all - Arkham origins Batwing!!! (Remember the RC Batmobile? This is not impossible!)

RichardGoring Posted January 17 Proper Batman Legacy sets visiting each of the films with sufficient detail over several years would be terrific, and a great way to avoid the constant Batman and Joker Batmobiles. But, presumably, that's what sells, so... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
psqidexslizer Posted January 17 I think the thing to consider with Batman movie legacy sets is that’s already what we’ve been getting for the past four years. The most memorable scenes in every Batman movie either center around the cave or one of the various Bat-Vehicles. The only exceptions that come to mind are either scenes that wouldn’t translate well to sets (acts of terrorism like Bane blowing up a stadium, brutal character deaths like Gambol and Penguin, scenes that don’t scream Batman such as Batman Begins training montage which is just a shirtless guy fighting ninjas, and scenes like the Joker interrogation which just wouldn’t make great sets) or are from the Schumacher films that Lego is understandably not going to touch.
