LEGO reveals six new sets to celebrate 80 years of Batman, including classic vehicles, villains and Shazam! [News]

Batman is turning 80 on March 30, so LEGO is launching six new DC Super Heroes sets to celebrate. The line-up of sets includes our heroes Batman, Robin and Batwoman using iconic vehicles such as the Batmobile, Batwing and Batcycle to defeat classic villains like The Joker, Harley Quinn, and The Riddler. In addition to the expected Batman characters, Shazam also comes in one set (most certainly a nod to the upcoming DC film).

The sets range in price from $9.99 to $99.99 USD with general availability starting later this summer on August 1st. One set including Mr. Freeze will be available at Walmart one month early starting on June 1st.

  1. TheDiggs

    Might have to buy that Batcave. Regretted not getting the original Batcave set (7783); I like the trophy room, but disappointed that there’s no Alfred (there’s only been one version of the comic book Alfred), might have stump up for that minifig separately.

  2. R

    I agree, the Batcave set definitely looks to be the best one here. The Batmobile is horrible, I’m truly surprised considering the plethora of parts that LEGO has available and some of the incredible MOCs that have been built so far. Funny enough though, the Riddler’s helicopter looks fairly accurate to scale for a 1950’s/60’s era one. They were used during the Korean War for medivac purposes (opening sequence of M.A.S.H. anyone?) but then they were used mostly for traffic duties and such afterwards. The Batwing and police car look meh. The Batcycle is a Batman version of the Captain America one. The Juniors sets are as expected.
    Overall I’m really surprised that, for the 80th anniversary, LEGO and DC didn’t reach back to more classic Batman and maybe do a 1930’s Batman set, then a 1960’s one, and so on. These just seem like a jumbled mess with no real thread running between them other than they’re all based around Batman. Just my thoughts.

  3. Jai

    Truly odd squad car that Gordon’s driving, there. Chopped the top, huh? Well, it’s not like he needs to do much, I guess. Pretty lopsided event to pit Riddler against the three of ‘em.

  4. Legolover

    Why are lego sets getting uglier they look like kids built them . You think that they would have learned from last time when they almost went bankrupt. Thier price is higher and the sets are just built lazy.

  5. Edwinder

    @Legolover, you are actually right. They’re meant for kids. The “4” logo is a replacement for what used to be known as Juniors now rebranded representing for kids aged 4+ as the target market.

  6. Fox51773

    I do wish they gave a larger trophy room. The dinosaur is supposed to be life-sized, & the giant penny should be big enough to strap Batman to it. I think that they’ve done the batcomputer enough that it doesn’t need to be included. They really need to give the Batcave more than a cosmetic makeover every other year.

  7. James

    Have to say I was really looking forward to these sets but they’re rather disappointing. The plethora of amazing characters in DC Comics that have been used so wonderfully created by Traveller’s Tales for the Lego games and we just get Shazam as a new character?! The last sets I got really excited about were attack of the Talons and Rescue from Ra’s Al Ghul for (the characters) and Scarecrow’s harvest of fear, Gotham City Cycle Chase and Classic Batcave because they were amazing sets with new characters. These look lazy and it’s upsetting.
