Batman’s cowl is a new element with elongated ears, and he bears that original comic’s distinctive imagery of purple gloves and an ear-less bat logo on his chest. That’s right, this is Batman from Detective Comics #27, published in May, 1939. But also, this Batman is a first for LEGO, because it’s the first Batman.

So the real question then is why do you need another? Well, the obvious answer is that there’s no way that LEGO could produce a DC Super Heroes line and not include the Dark Knight. In fact, I did a very rough count and found at least 83 unique minifigures versions of Batman (not counting Bruce Wayne), and I’m sure I’ve missed a few. In particular, it feels like the lantern’s top should have been a stud with a 1×1 tile rather than a molded part of the lantern, and the handle should be movable like bucket handles.Īs LEGO’s most common superhero, chances are good you’ve already got a few (dozen?) Batman minifigures. While it looks the part well, it’s a single molded element. The lantern, however, is a disappointment. As clumsy as it is, though, I can’t think of a better solution short of some new custom element that would still be ludicrously oversized. The awkward LEGO solution to a minifigure ring is a 1×1 round plate with handle, topped with a printed 1×1 round tile. Sinestro carries a yellow lantern and a ring. Although Sinestro’s face is very similar to the previous version’s, it is unique and features an alternate expression with glowing eyes. Here he appears in his original black-and-blue outfit. Sinestro with his newer yellow Sinestro Corps costume. Thaal Sinestro is our first super villain for the series, and while this isn’t the first time he’s appeared in LEGO form, he’s not exactly common, having appeared just once before in 2015’s 76025 Green Lantern vs.

The bar-and-stud element’s angle is precisely 45°, so it’s possible to put multiple together to achieve various standard angles, including eight together for a full octagon. What’s new this time, however, is that each pack also comes with a black 1×2 jumper tile and a new clear bar-and-stud element, which together allow a minifigure to be displayed in a flying or jumping pose.
