According to the original press release via WSJ (and as noted on the first page): 

Mr. Freeze, $20, out November 27th

Batcave, $100, out November 27th

Arkham, $150, out January 1st, Toys R Us Exclusive

Wait, really? That's much earlier than I thought! Now it's 2 months instead of 3.

These sets are absolutely amazing, all of them. The best Bruce Wayne we've ever seen, the awesome villains (a proper dome for Mr. Freeze!), the sheer amount of figures in Arkham...this is gonna hurt my wallet.

Hmm, looks like the TLBM wave just isn't going to be for me.  The figs are just a bit too out-there for me- I'd rather spend the money getting the more normal versions from Bricklink.  The exception is Alfred, who looks perfect as the classic comics version, and I will endeavor to get.  The only nitpick regarding him (if I'm seeing correctly) is that he seems to be wearing a bowtie over a regular necktie.  That's truly a crime against good taste! (Though easy to rectify and good for customization).

The sets are pretty cool, but if I were to get both the Batcave and the Dimensions Story Pack, I'd swap the bat-computer.

Yeah. I don't really understand why they've done two TOTALLY different builds. Although I guess it's not unbelievable billionaire super hero would have more than one computer.

[TheBrickHitHouse]

Love these sets! Shame we're missing leg printing - the new Batgirl and Harley kinda set the bar about 10 meters higher...

[CM4Sci]

Batcave - 70909

Freeze - 70910

Arkham - 70912

As I said before, the sets look amazing! Arkham is great, and Freeze set is nice too. 

But that Batcave just sucks, man.. it's soo bad.. and the duck vehicle isn't better at all.

Wow! Didn't expect this! I really am excited for everything, but it's just some of the character designs... Like Freeze... I don't know how I feel yet about them... LOOK AT TWOFACE THOUGH! IT IS BILLY DEE WILLIAMS! You can see the little mustache!

You always were to me mate  Thanks for everything!

Also just noticed the TNT and looked at the Arkham building and it looks like the walls pop out. 

Another thing I just noticed. In the description of the sets they don't consider the other Bat-suits minifigures. This could mean that in the Laundry Room in the Arkham set we could be getting some villain costumes that don't "count" minifigures. Especially since Twoface isn't supposed to be coming in another set.

We don't know that yet. 

Since his hairpiece is introduced here, he could be a book exclusive

He could also be in the summer wave.

Or he could be in the CMF line.

That's a collar not a bow tie so the crime is averted XD

Wishful thinking given that there are 12 minifigures in that set anyway and just because they don't count as minifigures in the description doesn't mean Lego doesn't see them as having the value of a minifigure.

In my opinion these sets are fantastic! I don't love the batcave but I didn't love any of the previous ones either, however this one looks a little small and featureless for the price. And why on earth did they waste the piece count on another duck and bat boat, just make that a separate set! I love the Asylum's different take on the buildings architecture from the last version we got as it gives some nice variety but I have a special place in my heart for the last one we got. The freeze set is a beauty for the price but I am not sure how I feel about Freeze's face yet, I may need to see it in person to appreciate it. And to echo what someone said before it is odd Barbara is a detective as in the comics Jim is so against this and that is part of why she becomes Batgirl. 

Oh and personally I'm so happy to finally get a purple Catwoman but I really hope we get a full purple outfit (and ideally a full black one in a similar style or at least a black mask with goggles).

That's right I am hoping for a full Billy Dee Williams Twoface character. 

Anyone else see Catwoman's Orange belt? Looks pretty cool!

I'd love that too, it's been too long since we got a Twoface minifigure. 

Ah good spot! Is that another belt piece or the same one reversed and recoloured?

[GentlemanJoker]

It's the same belt piece as what comes on the scubat minifigure in the batcave but it's backwards.

Also does anyone know if that statue references anything from Batman media? I can't think of a similar statue from the comics or films but it may have slipped my mind. A man holding a snake seems an odd choice? 

Also, finally internal cameras for the asylum rather than outside! And what a beautiful police cruiser!

I believe that is Amadeus Arkham. In terms of the snake... I'm not sure... It could be because he's a shady and slippery. I just looked him up with the word snake and couldn't find anything.

It may be a statue of Jeremiah Arkham, the founder of the asylum.

I suppose it depends which version of the asylum this is, Amadeus founded the original and Jeremiah rebuilt it. Given the blankness of the statue and lack of plaque it's hard to tell and the snake is throwing me. Perhaps the snake is a reference to the medical symbol? I think perhaps some sort of document or book may have fit better or even an angel statue perhaps? 

In regards to the batcave, the pun on the side of that duck mobile almost makes me want to forgive it for being a poor rehash XD

Well at the very least we know that we're getting a snake piece in light bluish grey!

[Borex]

Loving these sets. Especially that Mr. Freeze. Too bad the set has a generic firefighter instead of another villain. If it was a female i would have an extra female flesh head that i could use. 

The Penguin is awesome too. I think the batcave is really a fun set especially for people that like to play with their lego. A lot of good additions like Alfred, the batsuits, and the penguins

Arkham could have used some baseplates imo. Especially since it has some snow on the building. That could have created more the vibe of winter. Unless that isn't snow of course. I love that it has a watchtower and i love the jail thingies like the table, the workout bench etc as well. The police car looks great and i think with a bit of modding the asylum will look even better. The figs arent really special to me.

 

[BaneShake]

Awwwwww yeahhhhhhhhh. I'm loving these.

[Krulis]

Love Mr Freeze set. Instant purchase for me. 

[benderisgreat]

Just noticed that Penguin in Batcave set is based on Dany De Vito's character from Batman Returns!

Ah, so it is! I thought it was a recolor of the Bruce Wayne tie, and that the detail was just washed out because it was white, but now I see it is a different shape entirely. It's completely tolerable as a collar, thank you!
