The original LEGO Batman theme was first released in 2006 and lasted until 2008 and features 15 sets, magnets, videos, books as well as toys released by McDonald's. Batman has been re-introduced in 2012 as part of the DC Super Heroes theme. The theme is based on Batman: The Animated Series but also include elements from other Batman universes, such as the Tumbler from the Christopher Nolan films. However, each set, aside from The Batcave: The Penguin and Mr. Freeze's Invasion, is based on scenarios that occurred on the show where each set features Batman fighting a villain.
2007 LEGO Sets
In 2007, LEGO collectors saw a major milestone with the launch of the Modular Buildings theme, a high-detail, expert-level series that became one of LEGO’s most iconic and investible product lines. The first two sets in the series, Café Corner (10182-1) and Market Street (10190-1), introduced advanced architectural techniques, intricate detailing, and interconnectivity, laying the foundation for a new standard in LEGO city-building for adults.
