No good or bad, no specific characters, and if it's around for a long time, they'll be sure to have a ton of sets that utilize great new and old pieces. I'm not a huge fan of the new Creator car though… The City theme I think will open a lot of doors for Lego.

The bat symbol was well as the little picture of Batman himself are quite reminiscent of the movie. And the Agents theme looks like a rehash of Alpha Team, but still I like the idea so far.

Not sure I like it. And I'm hoping the Penguin doesn't become another Qui-Gon....come up with some new ones, guys...

Of course there was that Alpha Team sets that took place underwater. :) *breaks from snowblowing…*

Or is that what David meant by "Aqua Team"? Anyway... I think I won't be buying, "Agents." Has no one noticed the odd resemblence between “Agents” and Alpha Team?

It happened a lot with Harry Potter and Batman. They take things out or dumb the sets down so that they get the price point they want.

Right now it looks like something my little brother would build if he was helping me sort my black bin. I just don't think studs-up construction will cut it for the tumbler's design. I hope we get a nice compact brick-built Bat-cycle in some later sets though. But I doubt that'll happen. At least not the nice or compact parts. The Agents line looks like it should be excellent for parts. Look at those cheese-graters on the front of the truck. *drools* The designs, though, are pretty ridiculous looking. From what I can see with the glare on the photo, the truck cab looks like a hovercraft or something. The creator car looks excellent (I love the overload of arches, I'd buy it almost just for them), and the ferry looks like a very nice source of 1*n bricks. Not to mention the nice high-angle inverted slopes on the bow. The coast guard boat looks quite nice. If that's preliminary, I can't wait for the final version! Orange boat hulls should be fun, and it looks like the dock has some nice large panel pieces. Very very good thing the Batman tumbler is preliminary.
