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. To sweeten the deal, early purchases of the set come with a Minifigure scale 1989 Batmobile (Limited Edition) set for free. That exclusive offer runs from November 29 until December 5, 2019, or while supplies last. Both the actual 1989

I got this set for free with saved up VIP points for one reason, and one reason only. I wanted the Batwoman Minifigure.

He is really well detailed, and making this coloring page (and then coloring it in) actually took a long time for that reason.

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.

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

I thought it was appropriate for the challenge. And, yes, Robin did actually use the “Holy Alphabet” line in the 1960s Batman show (I believe it was episode 15 – Joker Goes to School from
