LEGO Batman

LEGO Batman

LEGO Batman has been around for quite awhile but has picked up a lot of fans since the Dark Knight film's success.  There are not very many Batman LEGO Sets that have been created, at least not compared to other themes that LEGO has been working.  I'm not sure of the reason for that as the Batman theme does seem to have quite a fan base.

I have enjoyed a few of the Batman LEGO Sets that are out there like Harley Quinn's Hammer Truck system in particular. The Batcycle included with that set is awesome and the included Harley Quinn mini figure is sweet, especially the exaggerated weapons.

Another great set to pick up is the Arkham Asylum LEGO Batman set.  It's a pretty rare LEGO set and is in really high demand.  I love all of the mini figures that are included with this one.  It's got seven minifigs total and all of them are very collectible.  The build is awesome to with three seperate buildings that are very playable.  There is a small prison (dungeon?) in one building that has a spot for all of the major Batman villains and a place where the wall breaks away and the Riddler escapes.  Much more playable than some LEGO themes.

Hopefully the LEGO Group will keep creating Batman LEGO Sets.  There is definitely a demand and there is an opportunity for fan crossover of Batman fans to turn into LEGO fans.
