The Toywiz site has the names of these two sets listed for summer release:
7786 Batcopter: Chase for the Scarecrow
7787 Bat Tank: Riddler and Bane's Hideout (guess that should settle who the third minifig is :-) ).
Just a few thoughts on these sets:
The batcopter looks decent and seems an obvious choice for a set, but the Scarecrow in a Biplane struck me as odd until someone mentioned a crop duster. I like the idea of Scarecrow flying over Gotham 'dusting' the city with his fear gas.
The Bat Tank also looks good, but shouldn't it have a battering ram in front - breaking through barriers directly with your tank treads doesn't strike me as a good idea.
The hideout looks o.k. My favorite part is the large section to the left. There appears to be a large printing machine with money laying about. Looks like Riddler and Bane are in the counterfeiting business.
The best part of the set for me is the Bane minifig. I can't tell if he's on some sort of weapons trike or a heavily armed motorcyle with sidecar.
My biggest question now is - is that it? It was reported here on Eurobricks that there would be 4 new Batman sets this year, but the dealers catalog and Toywiz both list only these two sets. I'll be bummed if we only get 2 sets and one new villian for 2007. I guess we'll find out in February with the NY Toyfair.
