Not sure when, but it'll be a Lego store exclusive.

The characters I listed ARE ALL in the movie, except Scarface... but the others are all definitely in! Also, we don't know which other characters will be in it... for instance, Mad Hatter hasn't been seen so far, but March Harriet is in it, so pretty safe bet he will turn up.

I'd love Ventriloquist, but it would have to be the Arnold Wesker version for me. We've already seen Dr. Phosphorous, Condiment King, Egghead, Crazy Quilt and Hugo Strange in clips and posters from the movie – I would love to see all these made... Dr Phosphorous would be a stunning figure if of trans-green body, and dual moulded legs (blue jean top half, trans green legs), and Hugo Strange would go nicely with Arkham Asylum.

Yeah - I'm hanging on to buy the Batmobile till then, so I can get the Batmen.

Haha.. my bad - apologies

As Faefrost said, I think when it comes to Cars toys, die-cast are the big sellers, not sure how well the Lego range sold.

Why..? Because there are so many unmade figures from what we know so far, let alone the rest of the movie. Because the first series was fantastic - giving us Bat-villains we would never otherwise see... the fact that the second series would continue in this vein and possibly give us more DC universe characters, bearing in mind there are Justice League and SuperFriends characters in the movie and, as we've seen, Captain Boomerang is in the movie so who knows how many other non-Bat villains are in there! Personally, I'd be very happy if they did a second series – hell, i'd love them to do three!!!

If that figure had dual-moulded legs, it'd be no.1 no question!!! Personally I don't have one favourite, I have a few I really like.... the BvS standard suit, the Adam West version, Blue and Grey above...

Exactly... no guarantee we'll get a second series, but it's really easy to come up with 20 characters just from what we've seen and what we know so far... when the film comes out there are bound to be loads more potential figures... just look at all the batsuits... there's five figures straight away... and let's face it, who doesn't want St. Batrick's, the Batriot or Reggae Man?

Is it these banners you're talking about..?

No worries This series seems to have proved by far the most popular CMF range so far, and there are so many possibilities for figures that may not otherwise get made... so it would make sense. The photo I posted it seems is the Alfred in costume that will come with the Batwing set (love that his bat symbol is the 1966 TV series version), but we still have figures like Egghead, Crazy Quilt, Zan & Jayna etc. etc.

Ahhh... well that's just rubbish, especially with the amount of figures still needed from this line.

What's with the May 2017 silhouette on the leaflet with the CMFs... somebody on here said there was a second series coming out!?!

Just watched the latest Barbara Gordon/Batgirl TV Spot... and wondered whether the interesting looking guy stood next to her in the 'Bat-Garage' may get released in the next line of CMFs...

Arkham is a fairly recent edition to the Bat-universe, appearing in the mid-to-late 1970'a. Over the years they've all been depicted at some point, in some form of media – Comic, animation, movie or video game – of being incarcerated in Arkham... mainly because the characters have changed many times through the years. The Penguin for example was an eccentric criminal with a 'bird' motif to his crimes in his early days – now he's a full-blown underworld crime boss... not the comical fat-man he was. And look at Mad Hatter... his persona took a real dark twist! However it is true to say that Penguin and Catwoman certainly usually go to Blackgate, as they're not really criminally insane.... just criminals!

The Motorcycle cop in the set is indeed the same body as the Arkham Cops...

Picked up eleven figures so far, got the ones I wanted all correct by feel... the one I think could be trickiest is Eraser.

Looked in my local Asda - no CMFs yet, but picked up the Ultimate Guide book for £5... then nipped to the nearby Tesco and got the book with the Braveheart Batman minifigure, only £3.50 - not bad for book and figure! Finally on way home called to TRU, the CMFs still seem to be selling really well, but found a fresh box and bought a couple more - found Jim Gordon straight away and Calculator really easy too.

Well, no offence, but I don't spend every waking day trawling Lego threads... if they don't appear on here in the few minutes I browse then I don't know! So feel free to 'enlighten' me!

Those frames look superb.... the first and third ones especially!!! Looking at that I can't wait for the JL movie, as hopefully Lego produce a few sets so we can get hold of a few new minifigures – I can't believe, for instance, that there is only one Flash available to date!

Not been for a while but the Manchester centre Lego store has them and TRU in Stockport has them, so I would imagine they have them. Also, WHSmith have them I believe (CMFs).

The claws were the giveaway for me.

So, went back to TRU yesterday – they had more boxes of CMFs out... all been rifled through, but seemed most figures still present. I got Glam Rock Bats, Arkham Joker, Zodiac Master and Cat-man... correctly getting them through feeling the bags. Have to say I have found nothing at all wrong with the figures - in fact, printing on these is superb... the gold zodiac signs on Zodiac Master are superb in hand, and Cat-Man is a favourite for me, he looks superb.

So, like most UK collectors, I found sets in my local TRU this evening. Initially just picked up the Joker Balloon Escape and 4 cmf's... got Caveman Batman, Barbara Commissioner, Red Hood and Dick Grayson. Have to say firstly that the packaging is really nice, and stands out from everthing else on the shelf... also, there weren't many figures left, and out of what was left, they'd been cherry-picked with only a couple of Batmen evident. The staff said they'd been very popular figures - moreso than usual, and the lad on the till was saying he'd have to get some himself before they all went... I've never seen such demand for minifigures over here... the Disney ones were supposed to be a big seller but they were readily available for me locally! Also a new experience was another guy feeling and searching for certain minifigures – I'm normally stood there on my own, looking a right lemon! The guy was missing a couple of figures - one which I found for him (holiday Bats). Anyway, very impressed with them all... and judging by the demand I see on here and I witnessed tonight, I can see a wave 2 happening in the summer.

You know, I really don't understand all the whinging i've read in this thread about "Bunny Batman" or "Fairy Batman", or the fact that all the villains have vehicles, a bit like Wacky Races! This is LEGO BATMAN!!! These sets are from a movie based on the Batman that appeared in the Lego Movie... you remember the guy - he was Wildstyle's boyfriend, sang songs about darkness, liked everything in black and was a masterbuilder... remember? We don't know the storyline for the movie yet - there will probably be a reason all the villains have their own vehicles - they might be masterbuilders too? Until we find out, why whinge and moan - embrace the joy of having such cool vehicles with such cool characters... who in the style of the LM are wacky and silly in some cases - but amidst that we get cool heroes and villains (like Jim Gordon and Calendar Man) who will fit right in with any version of Batman you want them to fit with.
