Batman '08

[Brainbox]

The only on i'm gonna get is the bat go kart one, I reckon it's pretty cool and a cheap way to get Mr Freeze.

Wel, exactly. It's cheap, neat and strangely cool.

So are these sets out in June?

I think so. They're out in the Summer assortment, so whenever that comes out near you these will. The game's out in September though, I think.

Good idea actually, I think I might try the bag too, mine are in clear plastic containers I bought from Chickenfeed (super cheap store).

I saved a load (and I mean a load) of the polybags from sets, to use as parts storage. Mostly, they're used for storing pieces that I only have a few of, but are too useful and/or interesting to put away elsewhere. I've got a load all stored in a plastic tub. They're good for storing parts for WIPs as well.

That's fine really, though rather annoying for me, I thought I had that in mind as an original Lego model. (actually, I'd love to see it as a released Lego set..)

That's exactly what I was thinking. Oh well, I'll have to trawl through the internet looking for some unique Bat-items instead. Bat-umbrella stand anyone?

Nah, give me old fashioned Bond cars any day, invisible was just too far for my liking, as was the impossibly sharp shooting machine guns.

Yeah, perhaps. But it's an Aston Martin versus a Jaguar. Mmm, cool...

Whoa, that's a lot of photos. I still look forward to seeing some though, atleast you have them on the computer now right?

Yeah, they're all on my laptop, and I'm up to the Bat-MOC stuff (save one thing, which I couldn't be bothered going through) now. I'll get it up once I've got my wireless sorted. My parents are dithering over who's paying for it, and what exactly we need to buy.

I'm also (Batman Lego related) thinking of making a Tumbler like Wetwire's one (due credit given of course) with those instructions he kindly gave us.

It was a very cool design, I agree. I've got a part-WIP micro Tumbler going in Bat-MOC, that I quite like, but I think there may be a way of improving... I just don't know what that is though, so I'll see what people say.

[hollisbrick]

Wel, exactly. It's cheap, neat and strangely cool.

I think so. They're out in the Summer assortment, so whenever that comes out near you these will. The game's out in September though, I think.

Well it would be Winter for me then it's only about 2 months away but the game in September?? thats ages away..

[Batbrick]

Wel, exactly. It's cheap, neat and strangely cool.

"Cool" eh? That better be unintentional

They're good for storing parts for WIPs as well.

That's actually a really great idea and much cheaper than buying too many containers, thanks for that. I'll definitely use some for mf parts too, they can be so hard to find sometimes...

That's exactly what I was thinking. Oh well, I'll have to trawl through the internet looking for some unique Bat-items instead. Bat-umbrella stand anyone?

, I guess we'll agree on a truce then and say that Batfans think alike huh?

Personally though, I'll make as many Batvehicles as I can. I don't know if you've seen it yet but I made my own Batdragster, based off the more "bullet" like Batmobiles evident in the comics (older stuff mainly, some of it silver age). Still, when thinking about it, TLC has really only scratched the surface for what they could do as sets. Even things that seem outlandish like the Whirlybat have been covered similarly. The Batcopter for instance, when that was announced everyone rolled their eyes, but it was a fantastic model with great modding potential and a good reason for being.

Yeah, perhaps. But it's an Aston Martin versus a Jaguar. Mmm, cool...

Admittingly....yes. But I'll still say Goldfinger was by far the best, lines like this one just can't be beat:

"You expect me to talk?"

"No Mr.Bond, I expect you to die!"

Yeah, they're all on my laptop, and I'm up to the Bat-MOC stuff (save one thing, which I couldn't be bothered going through) now. I'll get it up once I've got my wireless sorted. My parents are dithering over who's paying for it, and what exactly we need to buy.

Ah, of course. Parents tend to do things like that anyway, though mine just seem to know next to nothing of computers....

It was a very cool design, I agree. I've got a part-WIP micro Tumbler going in Bat-MOC, that I quite like, but I think there may be a way of improving... I just don't know what that is though, so I'll see what people say.

Damn, I was going to make a minitumbler. Is that the one in your brickshelf, the larger-than-normal-miniscale scale one? I guess I'll put dibs on a mini DKR Batmobile then! I've got a nice idea for the treads too...

Nice to see you going back on your reservations over Batman: Gotham Knight too, I was worried there for a sec. This year is getting more expensive, especially now since I've committed to buying atleast one of the new factory space sets. Lucky I have a job then, or I'd never be able to get it all...

Batbrick Away!

Wow, thanks ???theriddler???!

I'm so glad Riddler is in this, and with his classic cane! Seems Lego had the same idea as me (hook on a pole). This definitely gives me hope for Two-Face, Mr.Freeze, Poison Ivy and Bane.

Batbrick Away!

[Brainbox]

but the game in September?? thats ages away..

Yeah, but at least it gives me time to complete the Indy game before starting on this one.

For once, it was!

Thanks, and you're welcome. And we know they're strong enough not to break under filling with pieces. Well, not usually.

Indeed. I think I might add a few 'silly' ideas into the Batcave when I start it. SZome things from the 60s series, maybe, and a few Bat-things that are just plain funny.

Ah, of course. Parents tend to do things like that anyway, though mine just seem to know next to nothing of computers....

Well, after several hours of trying, the wireless connection is up. Well, I say that, but it only works on my laptop. It did work on the home PC earlier, but for some reason won't now. But mine works, so never mind.

Damn, I was going to make a minitumbler. Is that the one in your brickshelf, the larger-than-normal-miniscale scale one? I guess I'll put dibs on a mini DKR Batmobile then! I've got a nice idea for the treads too...

No, the one in my BS was actually from ages ago, from before you joined I think. It's the same size as my other 2 mini-BMs, but I'm not sure I'm completely happy with it.

And you can have the DKR BM.

Wow, you must see this great movie!!!!

... I want a Riddler cane.

I'm so glad Riddler is in this, and with his classic cane! Seems Lego had the same idea as me (hook on a pole). This definitely gives me hope for Two-Face, Mr.Freeze, Poison Ivy and Bane.

I'm sure they will be. They're classic villains, so why wouldn't they be?

[Batbrick]

Yeah, but at least it gives me time to complete the Indy game before starting on this one.

On no! I had forgotten about Indy, I will definitely be broke for the majority of the year...

For once, it was!

Oh dear, its become a part of your everyday vocabulary!

Thanks, and you're welcome. And we know they're strong enough not to break under filling with pieces. Well, not usually.

Yes, I really need bags especially after today. I went to Chickenfeed and there was not a single good storage container bar a 5-pack for 2 dollars for tiny ones. I bought those to store things that don't require a lot of space like 1x1 non brick pieces an such. Good thing really to have not enough storage though, because it shows you have good stock. I'm really happy with my enormous tan supply, as I need it when I build my gigantic Wayne Manor.

Indeed. I think I might add a few 'silly' ideas into the Batcave when I start it. SZome things from the 60s series, maybe, and a few Bat-things that are just plain funny.

Yes, good point actually. The 60's series is a great start, and there are always funny things to see at http://www.superdickery.com/galleries.html (which I find hilarious)

Well, after several hours of trying, the wireless connection is up. Well, I say that, but it only works on my laptop. It did work on the home PC earlier, but for some reason won't now. But mine works, so never mind.

Well thats just strange, but then again we are dealing with annoying technology after all...

No, the one in my BS was actually from ages ago, from before you joined I think. It's the same size as my other 2 mini-BMs, but I'm not sure I'm completely happy with it.

And you can have the DKR BM.

I really liked that one, you could upscale it! I really have no scale for my minis, though as a rule I just try to make them as small as I can while still looking cool.

And thanks, though a mini DKR BM will be hard...

... I want a Riddler cane.

Me too

I'm sure they will be. They're classic villains, so why wouldn't they be?

Exactly. And we're getting Manbat, how gorgeous! ( )

Remember the article stating a famous Bat-villain set to appear in addition, fingers crossed for Ra's Al Ghul! (Or to a lesser extent Bane), either one would be perfect as the final rogue, as both would have the intelligence and resources to break open arkham, Bane to break the bat (Knightfall), or Ra's Al Ghul to prove Batman's mission as futile. No doubt the explanation would be simpler, but it would be great!

Oh, and since we just simply need to see her again, heres Harley:

Batbrick Away!

[Brainbox]

On no! I had forgotten about Indy, I will definitely be broke for the majority of the year...

Oh so will I. It's not good.

Yes, good point actually. The 60's series is a great start, and there are always funny things to see at

Oh I love that site! I only found it recently, but some of the stuff there is just plain hilarious.

Perhaps. I think it's more likely to be Bane, seeing as how we already have him as a fig, and they'll want to include all the characters we have figs for. But hopefully we'll see Ras, perhaps in a sub-plot or something.

No it isn't. Hopefully next year will be easier, especially seeing as this is my "catchup" year in terms of sets, graphic novels and the DCAU.

It is isn't it? I love browsing through the awful comic covers and superman being, well, a dick

Most likely. Though I'd prefer Ra's, imagine Lego Ra's spitting out "Detective". Which really brings me to next years figs, I really hope the line continues so we can get Gordon and Ra's and whatnot. In the meantime, I found a great head for Ra's, the main reason I'm buying the Speed Racer set which it comes in:

The one on the left obviously, I think it's perfect. What do you reckon?

I can't wait to get her.....

[Brainbox]

Well, exactly. I've just blown most of my money on a laptop, and now I've got to get the Bat-sets, Agents sets, Castle sets and a few others, as well as several graphic novels (Countdown, Countdown tie-ins, Final Crisis, Dark Victory), BTAS, Gotham Knight, cinema tickets for all the films I want to go and see, 2 Lego games, then on top of that there's travel costs, food, etc.

It is isn't it? I love browsing through the awful comic covers and superman being, well, a dick

How about these two? That second one made me burst out laughing when I first came across it.

Ah, well, the characters didn't actually speak in LSW, they just made weird noises. I really want more figs next year, and I'm sure we'll get some. I mean, the fact that we're getting the game implies that the line is somewhat popular. It would be a reasonable assumption then that we'll at least get new sets next year.

As for the face, I like it. Really , Ra's should have a moustache but since we need a fleshie, that'll suffice. I think I may have found another use for the Snake Oiler head, btw. Matches Malone. Now, I don't own the set yet, so don't steal my idea

I can't wait to get her.....

Me neither mate, me neither.

Yes! You are getting Dark Victory and Gotham Knight! As for me, well, apart from lego, I've got BTAS volumes 3 and 4, Batman and Mr.Freeze: Subzero, Lego Batman: The Videogame, Lego Indy: The Videogame, Gotham Knight, graphic novels and a heap more. What movies are you planning to see?

I love this one, had me in stitches.

Good point, I'd never thought of it like that. Even one more year would be great, but i'd hope to see the Batman license go on for a long time yet.

Well, in a lot of stories Ra's doesn't actually have a moustache, so I'd say it's fairly great. And consider your idea stolen :skull: Kidding, though I hope you don't mind me using that on my shelf, I wouldn't put it in the Batmocs or anything.

Me neither mate, me neither.

LOL. Seems Bat-fans think alike. The first thing I did when I opened that Speed Racer set (even before building the set) was to steal the Snake Oiler head and make a Matches Malone fig. Here's how I made mine:

- Snake Oiler head

- Standard male hairpiece in black

- Legs and hip assembly in black

- Dark green Professor Lupin torso from the HP theme

The only problem with the Prof. Lupin torso is that it has a threadbare look. Malone wears cheap suits, not shabby ones. I eventually plan on removing the printed rips and two large buttons and then it should be close to perfect (perfect would be if it had a black checkerboard pattern on it).

[Brainbox]

Yes! You are getting Dark Victory and Gotham Knight!

Dark Victory definately, Gotham Knight probably. But I don't think BTAS 3 and 4 are out here yet. Still, doesn't matter, I've not got 1 or 2 yet.

What movies are you planning to see?

TDK, Iron Man, Speed Racer, The Incredible Hulk and Indy 4. There may well be others, but these are definates. I know it's not many, but at £6 a time that's at least £30 I have to factor in.

Um... nop you're right, he doesn't. Fair enough on the head use then (pity I won't be buying the set). And you can feel free to use my idea. I woin't be able to try it out for a while anyway, as I'll likely not be getting the set till next month. Unfortunately.

LOL. Seems Bat-fans think alike.

Ooh... creepy.

[Batbrick]

Dark Victory definately, Gotham Knight probably. But I don't think BTAS 3 and 4 are out here yet. Still, doesn't matter, I've not got 1 or 2 yet.

Lucky, Aus only has volume 1, I had to order volume 2 in from America for my birthday next week. If you ever feel like it there are a few episodes on the net anyway.

Yes, I'll be seeing TDK (no, really? ), Iton Man, possibly Speed Racer, possibly the Incredible Hulk (don't want ot be let down like last time), Indy 4 definitely, Quantum of solace (Bond movie is a must), and definitely Wall E, I love Pixar and that robot nearly killed me with its cuteness

Hehe, a win for Batbrick. I really like the head though, the wrinkle under the eyeballs are a great blend of the BTAS black pits and the normal comics look. I don't have a green cape unfortunately so I'll have to order one. Thanks too, though seeing as TLC doesn't release many suit torsos, I'll be hard pressed to find a good torso for him..

Ooh... creepy.

Its certainly getting that way...

BB Away!

Well, at least you got it. I found Vol 1 in HMV for £20 and Vol 2 for £30. I might wait for Vol 3 to come out, then Vol 2 should go down in price (hopefully to £20). But my dad thinks he's seen Vol 1 cheaper elsewhere, so I may have to see if he's right...

Oh, Quantum of Solace, of course. And Harry Potter 6, and maybe Wall-E. Make that £48 .

Yeah, good point actually. Either way, I think you'll like them, unlike the new The Batman show the creators are huge comic geeks (and writers: Paul Dini), so you see lots of great references like all the Batcave stuff, adapted stories, more 40's detective stories and such. Have you seen much of it?

Oh, Quantum of Solace, of course. And Harry Potter 6, and maybe Wall-E. Make that £48 .

, yes, despite the odd title I really look forward to Quantum of Solace, and Wall E is a must (see it!)

Not that interested in Harry Potter, I found the movies harder to care for than the books, which is no easy feat for me seeing as it was riddled with so many annoying devices. No offense btw, I just don't like them, that's fine if you do.

Indeed, I may struggle on that front too. Hmm...

Yes, something TLC needs to work on, more suits....

But since my birthday is on the 29th I'll have a lot more cash to spend, I think I'll be able to scoop up the entire castle line when it arrives. Despite not enjoying it, part-time work really pays off.

Well, no doubt I'll enjoy spotting all that

I've not seen much, no. Mask of the Phantasm and Mr Freeze: Subzero, but both a while ago, and apart from that, none at all I think. I've seen a few episodes of The Batman though. I don't think it's as good as what I've seen of BTAS, but I still don't mind it. Although I've only seen episodes from the first season though, before Robin and Batgirl.

Ah yes... I think I need to get a job.

EDIT: Oops, forgot something. Some new Batman pics have surfaced in this BS gallery. Credit to Whung here for the pictures, but I notice a few new things:

"I Scream"

New hair. So it's not the somewhat boring standard male hairpiece, it's one of the new pones. Not sure whether I like it, but I'll wait and see what it looks like in the flesh (plastic?).

SAubzero isn't bad, but for a great batman story MOTP all the way. The Batman I've gotten a little used to, but I can't forgive them for resetting Penguin (who had only just finally got rid of the mutant stereotype), Mr.Freeze and Joker to some of the worst portrayals ever. Still, there are some good stories to be found. I'm planning, once i have all 4 volujes of BTAS, to do a series of vignettes, one or two of my favourite scenes from each ep, which would be fun.

Ah yes... I think I need to get a job.

Its worth it, trust me. Even if you rake in poor cash like I am it builds up real quick. I expected to have to get the final Indy set - Temple Escape - for my birthday but I got it at the end of march thanks to work, and now I have the mach 5!

Good job mate, looks like you were right after all. I love these touches by TLC, they really lift the sets appeal and stays true to Joker's personality.

I like that new hair, cool to have it in black. Of course I'd still prefer the other one, but this is a great substitute. Thanks for the link too, I really look forward to expanding Penguin's water fleet

Well all these new bumper stickers seem nice, and the box art looks promising.

I'm planning, once i have all 4 volujes of BTAS, to do a series of vignettes, one or two of my favourite scenes from each ep, which would be fun.

Sounds good, I look forward to it. I think I'll probably just stick to the comics.

Part of it is that I don't really have time at the miment, what with my exams coming up, and part of it is that I just can't be bothered. I do volunteer in a primary school though, once a week, so it's not like I don't do anything. And there's the pantomime society as well.

I like that new hair, cool to have it in black. Of course I'd still prefer the other one, but this is a great substitute.

If I prefer it to the old one, it's staying, if not it's going in the parts bin. Either way, I get a cool hairstyle for general MOCing.

Well all these new bumper stickers seem nice, and the box art looks promising.

I like the boxes as well. The Batman in the corner is quite nice, but it's a pity he's not minifig-ised. Still, beggars can't be choosers.

Oh, and Batbrick, just for you (well, and me):

[Derek]

Is Robin's new hair the same as Mutt's (from Indiana Jones)?

[Batbrick]

Sounds good, I look forward to it. I think I'll probably just stick to the comics.

Thanks, and that's understandable. I grew up watching BTAS, it's like the comics but in animaiton to me. When I got back into batman this is what brought me back, after seeing some BTAS eps on youtube, so I owe the show a lot for how I came to be the comic geek I am today

Part of it is that I don't really have time at the moment, what with my exams coming up, and part of it is that I just can't be bothered. I do volunteer in a primary school though, once a week, so it's not like I don't do anything. And there's the pantomime society as well.

That's perfectly understandable, although you seem to have an awful lot of exams. Of course, as stated many times, this year is my "catchup" year, I know i definietly won't spend this much next year on Lego (fingers crossed anyway).

If I prefer it to the old one, it's staying, if not it's going in the parts bin. Either way, I get a cool hairstyle for general MOCing.

It'll probably end up in the bin for me, I need that hairpiece for cool mocs. As you say, either way is good, I have two Robins so I already have two of the older hairpiece.

I like the boxes as well. The Batman in the corner is quite nice, but it's a pity he's not minifig-ised. Still, beggars can't be choosers.

Batman boxart is great, too bad I only kept half of them. The comics are great too, I love the Bane one, heres hoping he gets another set.

Oh, and Batbrick, just for you (well, and me):

, never get sick of her. I can't believe how well they've done her, she looks evil but not overly so, and has a streak of mischievousnesses to her, and a tiny touch of innocence as well. Great to see that the designers are really paying tribute to the mythos instead of just releasing figs of how they think they should be done. Heck, I'd take that great detailing of the comics with only a couple of new figs each wave over a lot of new figs anyday!

Is Robin's new hair the same as Mutt's (from Indiana Jones)?

Yes, but Mutt's is brown, while this is black. The Agents sets also look to be contributing some great hairpieces too.

Batbrick Away!

Thanks, and that's understandable. I grew up watching BTAS, it's like the comics but in animaiton to me. When I got back into batman this is what brought me back, after seeing some BTAS eps on youtube, so I owe the show a lot for how I came to be the comic geek I am today

Actually it was the 60s film that got me into Batman. I watched it when I was young, and enjoyed it. Of course, I took it seriously then, but it was my first Batman experience. Then my library got a graphic novel section, and I got a few out. That was it. I kept reading, and became more involved in the continuity of the DCU, and the Marvel Universe to a lesser extent. Excessive reading coupled with my scarily good memory made for a fierce combination

That's perfectly understandable, although you seem to have an awful lot of exams. Of course, as stated many times, this year is my "catchup" year, I know i definietly won't spend this much next year on Lego (fingers crossed anyway).

I do. I did a few modules in January, as most people did, then the rest of this years start around the middle of May (I think the first one is May 15th). Still, they're all out of the way by the end of the first week in June.

Batman boxart is great, too bad I only kept half of them.

Oh, I keep all my Lego boxes. They're all collapsed and tied together down the side of my wardrobe.

I can't believe how well they've done her, she looks evil but not overly so, and has a streak of mischievousnesses to her, and a tiny touch of innocence as well. Great to see that the designers are really paying tribute to the mythos instead of just releasing figs of how they think they should be done. Heck, I'd take that great detailing of the comics with only a couple of new figs each wave over a lot of new figs anyday!

It's great how TLC have printed the diamonds on her legs. We don't often get leg priniting (although it has become increasingly common). It's a nice simple design, but one that truly captures Harley. And it's much the same for the other Bat-figs.

The Agents sets also look to be contributing some great hairpieces too.

We do seem to have got a strange number of new minifig molds this year. The new hairpieces, the jesters hat, the dwarf beards, the Castle helmets (orc, dwarf), etc.

TLC can only afford a small number of new molds each year, so maybe that's why we've not seen an awful lot these past couple of years. They've been saving them for this year.
