Sorry, just read on a website. I think a story in superherohype.com if I remember...

Oh?

Press release for Batman Day states: LEGO retail stores in the U.S. and Canada will celebrate Batman Day with Batman-themed build events, in-store giveaways, takeovers on its social channels, and more.

Really...? Wonder why they moved it? 21st is a Saturday?

So...it’s Batman Day tomorrow. Don’t suppose we’ll get any LEGO news?

The "completist" in me would quite like an appropriately scaled version of the Bat from Dark Knight Rises to go with my Tumbler and Batpod, but if I'm honest, it's not exactly the iconic vehicle that either the Tumbler or the Batpod are. I'm kind of nostalgic about the Burton Batmobile, I was a teenager when the film came out and it seemed revolutionary at the time, but looking back now the film has not aged well so I'm less enthusiastic about some sort of UCS Burtonmobile....but I guess I'll take it?

I’d love it if it was something else, not sure what, Cave, Batwing etc... but something not Batmobile would be nice. However, unless they really balls it up, I’m gonna buy it...

I've seen a couple of people assert that it has been listed as a vehicle, but I'm not sure how "official" that information is...?

Yup, I’m on board with this. The weirder the better. I’m still in a phase where au can’t quite believe we are getting superhero LEGO of any variety.

If I get Creeper and Deadman I’ll take anything that goes along with them.

Man, I'll be grateful for what we get, and hope for the best. If they had been releasing Batman LEGO when I was a kid, my head would have melted. Things like the classic Batcave? Forget about it! I still can't believe I'm getting LEGO Batman, LEGO Indiana Jones.....

This would be superb. 3300+ would also put it in correct scale for a “Bat” from Dark Knight Returns, but I just can’t see it, I don’t think it’s an iconic enough vehicle. The Tumbler was in all three films and is exceptionally well recognised. So, maybe multi-vehicle could be right?

That’d be a pretty big vehicle....!

I think someone rumoured early 2020.

in terms of a general pattern of repeated releases, I assume that LEGO's market research is based on the good return they have on a 3-module Batcave with a couple of vehicles, a Batjet (or copter) versus a villain plane, a Batmobile (+/-) villain vehicle, and Batcycle. I guess those are classically Batman's vehicles of choice, but there's a feeling of repetition, particularly to the broad design of the Batcave. I'd love it if more sets could be combined. I think we got a bit more of that with the Batman movie sets at least. Throwing together multiple vehicles from different waves, there's quite a collection of vehicles at least. A couple of Bat-tanks. But agreed, something else, Hall of Justice etc. would be a really cool change. Event the Arkham Asylum's have all been a variation on the same theme over and over. The D2C's have been the things that have broken the mould so far for me. Saying that, I'm still buying whatever Batman LEGO are selling....
