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.
2014 LEGO Sets
2014 brought The LEGO Movie to theaters, propelling LEGO to unprecedented mainstream success and spawning its own theme. LEGO Star Wars celebrated 15 years, while Ninjago—originally planned for retirement—was extended following strong sales and a hit TV series. The first minifigure-scale Minecraft sets appeared, and LEGO The Simpsons launched with The Simpsons House and a dedicated minifigure series. Other additions included LEGO Juniors and the digital-physical LEGO Fusion, while a fan-designed Ghostbusters Ecto-1 commemorated the film’s 30th anniversary. Galaxy Squad, The Lone Ranger, and The Lord of the Rings ended during this period.
