Batman is the DC Comics Super Heroes subtheme for Batman and the villains of Gotham City. Batman first had a LEGO theme of his own in 2006, and he came back in 2012 as part of the new Super Heroes line, the same year as the video game LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes. Most sets put Batman against a single villain, so over the years the whole rogues gallery has turned up, from the Joker, Two-Face and Catwoman to less common foes like Man-Bat, Killer Croc, Clayface and Ra's al Ghul.
2013 LEGO Sets
2013 introduced Legends of Chima, a heavily promoted fantasy line positioned as Ninjago’s successor, complete with a companion TV series. Licensed debuts included Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Lone Ranger, and new DUPLO tie-ins for Jake and the Never Land Pirates and Mickey Mouse. Collectors pursued the ultra-rare Mr. Gold minifigure from Series 10, limited to just 5,000 worldwide. This year also marked LEGO’s shift from 4-digit to 5-digit set numbering as Monster Fighters, SpongeBob SquarePants, Cars, and Dino concluded.
