But maybe it works if I see the entire figure. On a sidenote, when I was looking back at the 4 month old torso leak I noticed in the comments talks about a technic batcycle (in between all the stuff we actually knew about 4 months ago). Has that rumour since been killed or is that still on the tables? That set releases in March https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/the-batman-batcycle-42155

psqidexslizer Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 Based on the minifigure selection for the QuANTuMANia and GotG3 sets, I think our safest bet for the Flash set is to just assume it only comes with Batman and The Batmobile.

We will definitely get the flash minifig too since it’s his movie and the torso for him already leaked lol. But if they dropped the ball like that for marvel which they care more about, then for dc I can only imagine the bare minimum. So maybe only Batman and flash. Still I’ll try to remain hopeful we get at least a third minifig. Edited February 15, 2023 by Nylock

Missing a sense of scale with the contraption figures, would the rumored Batman figure be in scale to this techical cycle ?

Reducing my expectations from the already fairly low "Keaton with standard bat-cowl, Flash, and supergirl" to just the first two figs.
THELEGOBATMAN Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 To be fair, the set was pushed back over a year, so maybe it was made in the ancient times when LEGO cared enough to include prominent characters in Super Heroes sets
Battlinpanther Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 So is there any way Lego might differentiate the new Keaton Batman figure from the previous versions they’ve done? Or are they just gonna reuse the one for the Burton Batmobile.

He has to actually fit in the car this time

It'll be the standard cowl, since the cowl/cape part can't fit in a system batmobile unless you make a hilariously oversized driver's seat area. The torso can't be the burton one either as a result, but I wouldn't rule out them re-using a TLBM torso with black belt piece or something.
Surge Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 judging by the funko pops i would be shocked if the flash set had anything more than keaton, supergirl, and the main flash. hope its revealed soon

kevkipo Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 Not active on this thread but I had to note: The new BTS-hairpiece, with the middle part, would be perfect for the new Supergirl.

Though I'm still only going to let myself expect Barry 1 and Keaton with a re-used type 2 cowl. Barry 2 would be really nice, though. 2 hours ago, SuperSquidman said: It would be great if it was just the Keaton cowl but with the cape removed It would, but I really doubt it. It'd still count as a new mold for them, and I can't see them doing that if they wouldn't make a Battinson mold.

Because if it is I could see them doing a new mold for Keaton and doing a Pattinson mold for “The Batman Part II”.

I don't think we're getting it either. That being said, just because the BTS set is the first set with the new mold, doesn't mean it was the first set produced to include it, right? Technically there's a nonzero chance of it happening.

They didn't make a new mold because they didn't want to spend the budget on a new mold. Maybe they will for the next one. 5 hours ago, PGBQW said: That being said, just because the BTS set is the first set with the new mold, doesn't mean it was the first set produced to include it, right?

Classic_Spaceman Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 I wonder if the third Minifig in the Flash Batmobile (that is, if we even get a third Minifig) will be Dark Flash; while Supergirl is the third main hero (not counting past Barry) and Zod is the main villain, the "Flash Chase" translation seems to suggest that Dark Flash will be included. First, most Superheroes sets have antagonists (the new GotG3 sets notwithstanding), so a villain is a reasonable inclusion; second, while Zod would have been referenced in the set's name (e.g. "Batmobile: General Zod Showdown"), Dark Flash would likely not have, as it would make the name somewhat confusingly-worded; and third, Dark Flash is the only character that makes the "Chase" part of the name make sense (Zod is being fought, not chased, and Batman and the Barrys are obviously teaming up based on the trailer, so it does not seem that Batman is hunting down a rogue time-travelling Flash). BTW, the last set to include a villainous speedster was called "Speed Force Freeze Pursuit", so there is precedent for Flash-vs-evil-speedster set names that match this one. 🤔
Nylock Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 12 minutes ago, Classic_Spaceman said: "Flash Chase" translation seems to suggest that Dark Flash will be included. The title is a very interesting and good point. Could imply they’re chasing something down, but could also just mean a general chase between the Batmobile and the flash. Also most translations of it that I’ve seen have it as “flash tracking” which could go either way. I would LOVE for this to be the case, dark flash would be an awesome fig to have. But knowing lego I still believe that it’ll just be Flash and Keatons batman. Especially now that we’ve seen what they did with the guardians sets. But I’m hoping for the best!
psqidexslizer Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 Just my two cents, but anyone expecting 3 exclusive figures in a $35 set is setting themselves up for disappointment. We haven't seen that happen in a superhero set since 2021, and just looking at this year alone, Lego has cut back on their superhero minifigures quite a bit.

It’s a $45 set, but I think the same reasoning still applies.

We haven't seen that happen in a superhero set since 2021, and just looking at this year alone, Lego has cut back on their superhero minifigures quite a bit. To be fair, that's kind of a random criteria. Like, the only $45 set we've had in the superheroes theme in the last few years was the advent calendar, and obviously smaller sets like the mechs or $20-30 sets won't have 3 exclusive figs. But looking at sets like Gargantos Showdown (2 exclusive figs), the 4+ Goblin Lighthouse set (3 exclusive figs), etc, there's definately a real chance at 2-3 exclusive figs in a $45 set, especially if they skimp on leg printing. And realistically, how many new prints are we even going to get? Flash's head and torso, a Keaton torso (assuming they don't just skip out and use the same as the one they'll use in the new batwing), and a torso and/or head for the 3rd fig. That seems pretty realistic to me.
