At this point, I'm hoping that if 2024 has to focus on media (though I'd prefer comic sets), that they do a full Batman: The Animated Series wave, at least beyond just the Gotham City Skyline set. I think it would make sense considering that the new cowl is a great fit for it, and it'd allow some of the Skyline set's minifigures to be available elsewhere (though I'd assume one or two would probably stay exclusive) Also, I'd really want to get TAS versions of Two-Face (seriously, it's been almost two decades since our last black and white suited Two-Face), Clayface (could use the Vidiyo slime head and the new Baymax arms), Ventriloquist, and Mad Hatter.

Maybe the Batwing design from The Flash could be included? It is a different design from the 1989 version we're getting as a set. I'd be surprised if the Bat-Skiboat wasn't included. I think the biggest things that disappoint me is that we can't get any new Bat-Family members, new villains, or a proper trophy room if it's the Keaton version of the cave. Plus there's less potential for interesting easter eggs that could be included. Because of that, the Batcave went from being the D2C I would've probably been most interested in, to now sitting below two (possibly three depending on what the Marvel D2C is) other D2C sets for this year in terms of hype I'm interested in.

Well, I guess I'm saving $450.

I suspect getting all the important characters from Fury of the Gods would have required an Eternals-sized wave of sets. That wouldn't have been very hard to do considering the number of notable creatures/locations, but I guess LEGO didn't want to take the risk.

Falconfan seemed to think the new cowl should be in all the upcoming sets, at least going by the description of his post on the cowl.

After watching it, I feel like Shazam: Fury of the Gods could have easily made for a good three-set wave.

I'm pretty sure the bonus level for LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7 featured interactable versions of the 2010-2011 sets scattered throughout it, though they didn't really have proper exteriors to explore. I could see something similar for the newer sets being included in the game if it has a bonus level.

I'm hoping we at least find out what design the Batcave is based on. I find it difficult to believe that new cowl was specifically intended for Keaton Batman, even if he'll be using it. Comic would have the widest appeal, but TAS would also make sense for the cowl design, and could allow the Gotham Skyline set to reuse some minifigures. EDIT: It's Disney and Pac-Man, not DC apparently. I'm underwhelmed.

Now I'm wondering again if the Batcave could be from TAS.

Looks like the new Keaton Batman (with new cowl) is now on IG under the usual hashtag.

If we continue getting more waves, I wonder if LEGO would continue sticking to remakes of scenes we got sets of in 2008-2009, or if they'll throw in some stuff we haven't gotten before. I'd like to see KOTCS get something if this revival of the theme lasts more than two waves. An updated version of Temple of the Crystal Skull or the Jungle Cutter would be neat to see.

The Idol Temple looks like pretty much the definitive set to get from this wave, but the other two look like a good value as well. Given that the Temple of Doom looked like it had the most room for improvement in terms of design and structure compared to the other sets, it being delayed to be revamped makes the most sense based on what we know. I feel like LEGO wouldn't let the set be acknowledged at all if it was definitively canceled entirely.

A half hour of refreshing both Instagram and YouTube later, and still nothing.

I'm hoping whatever news is coming in the next 25 minutes won't disappoint, because I am far too eager to hear something new.

I wonder if the arms for Baymax in the upcoming Disney series would work for a minifigure Clayface if they were recolored.
