Uh oh, you‘ve just hit @Digger of Bricks‘s berserk button, this won‘t end well Personally, I really like the trans-yellow canopies. They‘re more unique and they fit nicely with the vehicles from TLBM, if you ignore the lack of red lines Edited April 29, 2020 by Lego-Freak

I'm going to go out on a limb here, but between the profile picture and your favorite part of the set being the trans-yellow recolours, could you possibly be a classic space fan, by any chance? I like the capes, but the fact that the only set they're in under $50 is 4+ means I'll probably end up briklinking them.

Uh oh, you‘ve just hit @Digger of Bricks‘s berserk button, this won‘t end well Nah, it's cool, I get where he's coming from... ...but seriously, it is easy enough replacing colored windscreens with neutrals given that pretty much every mold already has a more muted recolor, so they might as well take advantage of every justifiable opportunity for the sake of Classic Spacers.

I agree. If it means having to splash for replacements so others can enjoy new recolours then I don’t mind 57 minutes ago, Lego-Freak said: Uh oh, you‘ve just hit @Digger of Bricks‘s berserk button, this won‘t end well Personally, I really like the trans-yellow canopies.

hvader Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 I like the mobile bat base set a lot. I'm a sucker for features where you can pull a smaller vehicle out of a bigger vehicle

But this is a concept that, at least imo, is really easy to screw up and that's exactly what happened with the Batbase

Then everything will match, and we still get those sweet, sweet Classic Space colored parts. 4 hours ago, Anonknee Muss said: I agree.

DeCommander96 Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Does anybody know if white man bat is a thing in the comics? never seen it before

Lionbear8 Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Love how the water scooter comes out from the front of the truck! Also that Batgirl MF, love it! Maybe next year we get a water mobile bat base! Question, is Lego still able to release direct to video DC movies?

You're probably the only person I saw who says Max is the main reason you'd buy the set haha :) haha well to be honest, i'll buy Anything DC just as long as its not another bat vehicle! and its slim pickings for DC sets this year, I had to justify ordering lego in quarantine somehow :p

There’s one that centres around Shazam coming soon, which features a Golden Age bat villain called Jeepers who is fairly similar to white Man-Bat in looks. 4 hours ago, DeCommander96 said: Does anybody know if white man bat is a thing in the comics? never seen it before The earliest I can find something is The Batman cartoon, which the toy Quicksilver posted above is from. He appears grey a few times, and a cover from his own series in 2006 has him looking whiteish, but I can’t find anything with him being specifically white. In short no.

LEGO must like that show for some reason. :P
BaneShake Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 13 hours ago, DeCommander96 said: Does anybody know if white man bat is a thing in the comics? never seen it before I think there was a point he was briefly white in the comics, just as an artistic touch, but that’s it’s been a decade or longer. Don’t quote me on it, it’s barely a half-remembered thing my research hasn’t really confirmed yet.

First the Kabuki Twins, then Firefly, and now (presumably) Man-Bat. Now the wait begins for minifigure versions of Rastafarian Joker and Marilyn Manson's Riddler.

Now we just need some vehicles and locations to go with the figures! Loving this wave!
GeneralNumberOne Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 16 hours ago, DeCommander96 said: Does anybody know if white man bat is a thing in the comics? never seen it before It was his main color scheme back in the 70's. Here are a few covers with him in white. Also, it looks like he's going to be white in his solo series that might be releasing in May.

Here are a few covers with him in white. Sorry, I’m going to put my nerd hat on. That’s grey and it’s the same grey as the Batsuit on that cover. He was grey and pink in his earliest appearances, moving to grey-brown and latterly brown. The cover of ‘tec 407 (1971) depicts him holding Francine in her bridal gown, and the difference couldn’t be more obvious.
DeCommander96 Posted May 1, 2020 Posted May 1, 2020 Thanks everyone The the batman show did have some decent designs to be fair

lego_guyon02 Posted May 2, 2020 Posted May 2, 2020 Well it looks like we do get to see Will Arnett's Batman at least one more time:

Could this mean a LEGO Batman Movie 2?
