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.
2015 LEGO Sets
In 2015, LEGO broadened its portfolio with new and returning themes. LEGO Dimensions launched as a toys-to-life crossover linking dozens of franchises including DC, The Lord of the Rings, and Doctor Who. New lines such as Elves, Jurassic World, Scooby-Doo, and Speed Champions debuted, while BIONICLE and Pirates returned in refreshed forms. City marked ten years under its modern branding, and Star Wars supported The Force Awakens with a major release wave. Meanwhile, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and The Hobbit concluded as LEGO shifted toward newer properties.
