30 years ago, I was seven years old. The year was 1989. As an avid DC Comics superheroes fan, you can imagine my excitement when I found out that there was a Batman movie in theaters. I was a little young to be seeing a PG-13 film, but my mother took me anyway. That was the moment that Batman became

November 29 marked the official release of the 1989 Batmobile set (76139). This version of the car remains my favourite.

The set itself held no other particular interest for

This offering from the LEGO® Group took the Talons from that arc, and brought them to life in Minifigure form. Like with many other of the Super Heroes sets, in order to get your

From the early trailers for the LEGO® Movie 2, there was one character I knew that I must have as a Minifigure, and that was Battle Ready Batman. This Minifigure is available in two sets from the theme: Welcome to Apocalypseburg, and the subject of today’s review, Battle-Ready Batman and Metalbeard. Of the two sets, today’s review deals with the

This was the best LEGO® deal I have ever seen. I was notified of the sale by a fellow fan through Twitter. As I write this, Walmart is liquidating the Clayface Splat Attack set from The LEGO® Batman Movie for $10. Yes, you read correctly, a set formerly priced at $44.99 is now $10. That is about 80% off. My local
