Ideas for new Batman sets

[Brainbox]

I would love to see a harbor set with some gangsters on those cheap LEGO trikes

In fact, villain hideouts would be a good idea. Like Riddler's hideout (but obviously with more than just a gate ;-) ), you could have the Penguin's Iceberg Lounge, Mr Freeze's meat refrigeration plant, the Joker's clown-themed lair and the Ventriloquist's, erm, apartment.

What about a UCE tumbler and a big bat-symbol in mosaic , or in volume like the beginning of the first batman made by tim Burton :D

What about a UCE tumbler

Done well, that would look really cool.

I must admit to being a little bummed that only 2 new Batman sets are coming out this summer. After the rumor that there would be 4 sets this year I still hold hope that TLG will surprise us with 2 sets for the fall, but I don't really expect such will be the case. Anyway, what I would like to see in the future:

FALL 2007

*GCPD Patrol Blimp: The search for Man-Bat ($19.99 - $24.99)

(Batman and the Gotham City Police Department are searching the skies for a new villian in town - Man-Bat!)

Includes:

- GCPD Patrol Blimp (using the Adventurers Zeppelin piece from set 5956)

-Bat-glider

- 3 Minifigs: Batman, Man-Bat and GCPD blimp pilot.

*GCPD Headquarters ($79.99 - $99.99)

(Gothams' Finest are on the job when the villian Firefly is on the loose. But, when Joker and Harley Quinn terrorize Gothams' skies Commissioner Gordon lights up the Bat-signal to summon the Batman and his newest ally - Batgirl!)

Includes:

- 2-3 story GCPD HQ (with working Bat-signal on the roof)

- GCPD Helicopter

- 10 Minifigs: Batman (with 'Jet-wing' rocketpack), Batgirl (Barbara Gordon), Joker (with green 'Gilderoy Lockhart' hair), Harley Quinn, Firefly, Commissioner Gordon, Detective Harvey Bullock, GCPD helicopter pilot, 2 generic GCPD officers.

SUMMER 2008

With the release of the 'Batman Begins' sequel, 'The Dark Knight', 2008 would be the perfect time for sets based on both movies.

'The Dark Knight' sets:

*3-4 sets base on the new movie.

'Batman Begins' sets:

*UCE Tumbler ($69.99 - $89.99)

*The League of Shadows: Batman Begins ($49.99)

(In the mountaintop abode of the League of Shadows, Bruce Wayne begins his training under the watchful eye of the mysterious Ra's al Ghul)

Includes:

*The Tumbler: Race to the Narrows ($29.99)

(Ra's al Ghul has the powerful microwave emitter and plans to use it to destroy Gotham City. Can Batman get to the Narrows in time to stop him?)

Includes:

- The Tumbler
