spiderfan2000 Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 It'd be cool if the Batcave had a reference to the Gray Ghost somewhere in it.

I totally agree. I think we will see plenty of references to different Batmen or Batman media. So like a reference to the animated series or the 66 show seem very in character for lego. I mean if they give us a suit display with a few Batsuits what if we get the nipple suit

Remember the outrage two years back when Black Cat didn’t have enough cleavage for some people? 😆

Remember the outrage two years back when Black Cat didn’t have enough cleavage for some people? 😆 I wasn't part of that conversation, but in their defense, it's less of a "this time she's just wearing an undershirt beneath the suit" (which is the general method used by media for situations like this) and more of some sort of armored triangle between the halves of her catsuit. IMO it's less about covering it up and more about how they chose to do it. But yeah, I don't think we're getting the Clooney suit. Not necessarily because of the nipples, but because they've got a limited number of new prints and I can't see them wasting them on the most universally hated film. 2 hours ago, Quicksilver838 said: Or the Bat-Credit Card.

It's kind of funny that we're just as excited about the little easter eggs in the set as the design or figures.
spiderfan2000 Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 (edited) I went through out of curiosity to see how many villains and Bat-Family members from the 2008 LEGO Batman: The Videogame we haven't gotten as minifigures as of currently. That list would consist of: Mad Hatter Hush Azrael (can be built in character creator) Spoiler (can be built in character creator) Black Mask (can be built in character creator) If we include those who are DS exclusive, there would also be: Mr. Zsasz Ventriloquist I'd be pleased if the Batcave can include at least a few of those characters.

scottypavarotti Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 I'm trying to not get too enthusiastic and start hoping that somehow the Batcave will include a Creeper figure. He's my LEGO white whale.

psqidexslizer Posted February 28, 2023 Posted February 28, 2023 We’re all gonna be coping hard when the Batcave only includes 5 figures: Batman, Joker, Penguin, Harley Quinn, and Damien Wayne.

spiderfan2000 Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 The minifigure selection will determine a decent portion of my interest, which makes me hope that the number of new figure prints is closer to Rivendell's than the Daily Bugle's. Hopefully within the next month we'll start getting more information on the set.

Putting 5 minifigs in $500ish playset would be like making an $100 playset with only the one figure. I genuinely think that we do not need to worry.

Legocentrico Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Captain America will have a €200 shield with probably one minifigure

So not a non fig scaled display set, as there the figure is an addition but in a playset (or even a fig scaled display set) it is part of the equation.

Batman 1966 also is perhaps the most faithful adaptation to Finger's original idea, just in a comedic take on it. I'm a hardcore DC fan and I think Batman '66 is up there with BTAS as one of the best Batman adaptations. I'd love to see the Silver Age Thomas Wayne Bat-Man costume in a display cabinet in the net Bat-Cave. It is definitely obscure but it's a small detail and something that inspired Grant Morrison during their Batman run. https://imgur.com/a/5qw249T
Batman2006IsBestLegoTheme Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Just give us a nice-looking batcave.
Nylock Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 Still no flash set news 😔. I just wanna at least know the minifigs coming in that set. But I’m super hype for the batcave, even though there’s no chance I’ll be picking it up lol.
spiderfan2000 Posted March 1, 2023 Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) Considering the Flash set essentially must have Keaton Batman and the Flash at minimum, if we get a third figure (which would break the pattern set by four different Batmobile sets with two minifigures included that were released since 2019), I'd be very surprised if it wasn't Supergirl. If it's Zod, he'd probably be a downgrade from the 2013 version, as I doubt he'd get leg printing this time, and they probably wouldn't bring back the specialized armor pieces after last getting them an entire decade ago. The Batcave has way more unknown variables in play for the minifigure selection, which is why I'm so eager to start getting information on it Edited March 1, 2023 by spiderfan2000

I knew I had to release a Creeper custom.
