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.
2023 LEGO Sets
In 2023, LEGO launched several major original and licensed themes while strengthening its digital ecosystem. LEGO DreamZzz debuted as a fantasy-driven world of imaginative creatures and vehicles tied to an animated series. The new LEGO Icons branding unified premium display sets under one banner, appealing to adult collectors. Sonic the Hedgehog and Gabby’s Dollhouse joined the lineup, expanding LEGO’s reach across gaming and children’s entertainment. LEGO Star Wars celebrated its 30th anniversary with commemorative sets, while the company advanced digital and retail expansion through immersive LEGO experiences worldwide. Sustainability research continued, with LEGO confirming it would not pursue recycled PET bricks due to performance limits but reaffirming its long-term commitment to greener materials and packaging.
