Batman is a Batman minifigure based on the super hero from the DC Comic Universe. He originally appeared with two variations in 2006, one in 2007, and one in 2008; being the comic suit, 1989 film suit, classic suit, and 2008 film suit. The Super Heroes theme also features two new Batman suits and an Ultrabuild action-figure.
Description
Batman's Minifigure comes in several different colour variations to reflect his appearances in different continuities. His Comic Suit resembles his outfit in most modern comics, his Classic Blue Suit is based on his appearances in Silver Age comics, and his Armoured Suit is made to resemble his costume in the live-action films Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.
Behind Batman's Mask
All Batman suits released before 2011 use the same face; a Light Nougat head with a frown and a White headband. All variations at least use the same Cowl and Cape pieces, but the colour may differ between variations.
Comic Suit
The comic suit was first released in 2006 within three sets, and later in KC7782 The Batwing with Joker Key Chain in 2007. This variation resembles Batman's appearance in current comic books. This variation is made from five pieces; headgear, head, cape, torso, and legs. Batman's headgear is a Black, bat-shaped cowl with two holes for eyes, a rectangular section cut out for his mouth, a nose which juts out, and two "bat ears". Batman's head is Light Nougat with two eyes, a frown, and a White headband above his eyes. His cape is also black like the cowl and has five triangular points at the end. The torso is Medium Stone Grey (with Black hands) and has a printed pattern of a black Bat Logo, toned core muscles, and a yellow utility belt with square packets that have triangular flaps. His legs are unprinted, medium stone grey, and have black hips.
1989 Film Suit
The 1989 Film Suit was first released in 2006 within three sets and a Comic-Con Exclusive. This variation resembles Batman's appearance in the 1989 movie Batman and its sequel Batman Returns. This variation is also made from five pieces; headgear, head, cape, torso, and legs. Batman's headgear is a Black, bat-shaped cowl with two holes for eyes, a rectangular section cut out for his mouth, a nose which juts out, and two "bat ears". Batman's head is Light Nougat with two eyes, a frown, and a White headband above his eyes. His cape is also black like the cowl and has five triangular points at the end. The torso is Black and has a printed pattern of a curved Bat Logo against a Warm Gold oval, toned core muscles, and a Warm Gold utility belt with ovular packets and a square buckle. His legs are black and left unprinted.
Classic Comic Suit
The Classic Comic Suit
The classic suit, released in 2007 and made to resemble Batman's appearance in comic books from the Silver Age of Comic Books, has appeared in two sets and is once again made from five pieces. Batman's headgear is an Earth Blue bat-shaped cowl with two holes for eyes, a rectangular section cut out for his mouth, a nose which juts out, and two "bat ears". Batman's head is Light Nougat with two eyes, a frown, and a White headband above his eyes. His cape is also Earth Blue like the cowl and has five triangular points at the end. The torso is Medium Stone Grey (with Earth Blue hands) and has a printed pattern of a black Bat Logo, which is larger and more angular than that of the modern comic suit, toned core muscles, and a Warm Gold utility belt with two whole large square packets that have triangular flaps. His legs are unprinted, medium stone grey, and have earth blue hips.
2008 Film Suit
The 2008 Film Suit
The 2008 film suit has appeared in three sets and made to resemble Batman's appearance in the recent movies Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. This variation is once again made from five pieces; headgear, head, cape, torso, and legs. Batman's headgear is the same Black, bat-shaped cowl with two holes for eyes, a rectangular section cut out for his mouth, a nose which juts out, and two "bat ears". Batman's head is Light Nougat with two eyes, a frown, and a White headband above his eyes. His cape is also black like the cowl and has five triangular points at the end. The torso is Dark Stone Grey (with Black hands) and has a pattern of a black Bat Logo, which is more square than that of the Comic Suit, have a grey armour printing rather than muscles, and a Warm Gold utility belt. His legs are unprinted, dark stone grey, and have black hips.
The Dark Knight Rises Suit
This is the newest version of Batman which was available in 2011 at the San-Diego Comic-Con in Preview Edition packaging. He uses the same Black Bat-like Cowl and Five Pointed Cape as all other variations, with the exception of the Classic Variation which included
The Dark Knight Rises 2012 film suit
those parts in Earth Blue. Batman's new head is slightly different, with more of a scowling mouth. The eyes and headband are virtually the same as previous variations. Batman's torso, arms, hands, and legs are all black with printing on both the front and back of the torso, which is an updated print of the 2008 Film Suit Torso. His utility belt is still Warm Gold, but is now much more detailed than the previous variation. The armoured printing on the torso is also much more rounded than that of the previous variation.
Blue Super Heroes Suit
Batman's Hips, Hands, Cowl, and Cape are Earth Blue like the Classic Comic suit which most of his printing resembles, but with the logo from the 1989 Film Suit, but against Bright Yellow rather than Warm Gold. His utility belt also resembles that of the Comic Suit, but without the triangular flaps. One side has a large smirk, while the other has a more serious expression similar, to the The Dark Knight Rises film suit, but with cheek bones.
Super Heroes Suit with Jetpack
This version of Batman is available in 6858 Catwoman's Catcycle. It is the same as Batman's blue super heroes variation, but instead of a cape, he has a dark blue bat-winged jetpack. Once again, he has the same face as the black and blue Super Heroes variations.
Black Super Heroes Suit
This version of Batman is a redesign of 2006's 1989 Batman film suit. It has the same logo and shape as the Blue Super Heroes variation, but against a Black torso. In suit, Batman's Hips, Hands, Cowl, and Cape are also Black. His utility belt is now much larger than the original '89 Film Suit and clearly has a large, yellow buckle, similar to the Classic Comic suit, but not in gold and reversed. There are four rectangular packets on the belt. Batman's face is the same one used on the Blue Super Heroes Suit.
Key Chains
The 852314 Batman Key Chain is Batman's 2008 Film Suit variation but his parts may not be removed as a normal minifigure's can. He also has a silver chain attached to the top of his head, which in turn attaches to a silver ring, which has another shorter chain attached to that which holds a plate that reads LEGO.
The 851686 Batman Key Chain has his 1989 film suit variation, but with the same side effects as the 852314 Batman key chain.
Magnets
In 852089 Mr. Freeze Minifigure Magnet Set, Batman appears as a magnet alongside Mr. Freeze and The Riddler. Batman is identical to his comic suit appearance, but there are magnets in his legs and his torso is permentantly attached to his hips.
Batman's appearance in 853431 Batman, Robin, The Joker Magnet Set is of his Black Super Heroes suit, but with a normal cape instead of a pointed one. His legs are attached to the magnet base and his torso to his hips.
His 1989 Film Suit is used in the M780 Batman Minifigure Magnet Set and 4493780 Batman Magnet Set, but have the same side effects as in the Mr. Freeze Minifigure Magnet Set.
McDonald's Toy
In McDBat3 Batman Figure, Batman appears as a McDonald's toy. He has his comic suit, but is one piece of plastic in a more solid pose with his appendages bent in ways minifigures can't. He holds an enlarged batarang. This figure is based off his video game variant.
Ultrabuild Figure
Batman appears as a buildable action figure, or Ultrabuild figure in 4526 Batman. He uses the Hero Factory system of building]]. He has blue boots and is dark silver from his legs to his waist. His chest is blue with a bat symbol on it. Batman's hands, arms, and cowl are also blue. On either side of his back is a black rod, each with two curved, blue spikes coming off. He carries a silver and blue double-bladed sword.
Video Game Appearances
In the video game, Batman's basic suit is identical to his comic book suit. He is armed with a yellow and black batarang, and able to use grapple.
In LEGO Batman
In LEGO Batman: The Videogame, Batman is able to change abilities depending on the suit he is wearing. Each suit has a different look which sets its appearance apart from the others.
The heat protection suit is very similar to the Comic Suit, but Batman's torso and legs are now Red. His Gloves, Cowl, and Cape are all Dark Red, and he has a pair of goggles fixed in place over his eyes.
The glide suit is almost identical to the Comic Suit, but Batman's cape is replaced with a pair of mechanical wings which spread out whenever he double jumps.
Batman in a preliminary Demolition Suit and Robin in his Water Suit
The Demolition Suit is different from all of Batman's video game suits, rather than resembling a variation of the Comic Suit, it resembles the 1989 Film Suit, but Batman's cape is replaced with a detonator.
The preliminary version of the Demolition Suit closer resembled the Comic Suit, but with red gloves. The detonator from the final version was also used instead of a cape.
The Sonic Suit also resembles the Comic Suit, but Batman's Torso and Legs are Light Blue. His Cape, Cowl, and Gloves are all Bright Blue. He also carries a small "sonic gun" that shatters glass.
Appearance in LEGO Batman 2
In LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes, from images of the game, it seems as though Batman's standard suit is identical to his appearances in 6863 and 6864 and is still able to use a batarang.
Batman's super suits return, but have different abilities. They include the power suit, sensor suit, and the electricity suit. So far, only images of the electricity suit have been found. It is black with a black bat-logo, outlined in blue, similar to the comic suit. It has a blue/silver belt, again similar to the comic suit's, but without the flaps. There are two silver circles on either side of his chest about halfway up which are connected by a silver line that runs across. A similar pattern runs down his legs. He has silver boot "toes" on the bottom of his feet. Rather than a cape, he has two black cylinders on the back which are capped with blue pieces.
The electricity suit is capable of going through electric barriers other characters, such as Superman, can't go through. It also allows Batman to absorb an electric charge and deploy it to machinery.
The power suit is known to be able to launch rockets.
Batman's sensor suit allows him to turn invisible (and is confirmed to be used at one point to bypass The Riddler's cameras), see through certain walls, and remotely activate switches.
Background
When a young Bruce Wayne witnessed his socialite parents shot dead by the mugger, Joe Chill, he vowed to bring justice to the criminals infesting Gotham City. He then trained himself in detective skills, sciences, engineering, escape artistry, martial arts, and criminal psychology. But Bruce realized that those skills would not be enough to stop the superstitious and cowardly lot plaguing the streets. While he was in his study reflecting on his parents' deaths, a bat flew into the window, both startling and inspiring him at the same time. He would become the bat to strike fear in those who preyed upon the innocent. And so, Bruce then took his mantle as a crime fighter and became known as Batman. His butler Alfred Pennyworth would be his confidant to tend to whatever needs he might require. Batman would also find a friend in police commissioner James Gordon who may not approve of his methods, but appreciates the results. Another ally of Batman would be Robin, none other than his ward, Dick Grayson, who was also orphaned because of crime.
Role in the Video Game
Batman is a playable character on every hero level in LEGO Batman: The Videogame.
Prologue
When Commissioner Gordon lights up the Bat-Signal, Batman and Robin are seen in the Batmobile and on the Batcycle (respectively). They make a sharp turn, supposedly in the direction of the bank Clayface and The Riddler are robbing.
The Riddler's Revenge
Once some of Batman's most fearsome enemies escaped Arkham Asylum and teamed up, Batman and Robin headed towards a bank which had been robbed by The Riddler and Clayface. The Dynamic Duo made their way through the streets defeating the Riddler Goons and Henchmen who tried to stop them. At the bank, a fight ensued against Clayface, who was eventually knocked back into a cage in the vault when the security system pumped poisonous fumes into the air. Two-Face arrived in his Armoured Truck to rescue The Riddler and a giant key he'd stolen. Batman was unable to stop his escape, but did manage to plant a tracking device on the truck.
Using the tracking device, Batman and Robin followed the truck to Mr. Freeze's old Ice Cream Factory. The duo was immediately attacked by more Riddler Goons and Henchmen, but once they entered the factory, they encountered a new enemy, the Freeze Girls. By reaching the end of the factory, the duo encountered Mr. Freeze and managed to defeat him. The Riddler escaped once again in Two-Face's armoured truck, this time with a Freeze Ray.
Batman gave chase to Two-Face's armoured car in the Batmobile, successfully destroying it. Two-Face and Riddler went in different directions to try and escape. Riddler was cornered against Police Headquarters. Riddler tried to fend of by making desperate attempts at the duo with his "?" cane, but he was rescued by Poison Ivy.
In the Batcave, Batman used the Batcomputer to analyze a leaf from the vine Ivy used to save the Riddler. He discovered it was from the Botanical Gardens. Batman and Robin reached the gardens to discover the Janitors and Scientists under siege from not only The Riddler's goons and henchmen, but from humanoid plant creatures, presumably created by Poison Ivy. In a closed off area behind the garden's laboratory, Batman and Robin discovered and defeated Poison Ivy, but The Riddler escaped yet again (this time with mutant vine seeds) when he pointed out to Batman that Ivy caused Robin to fall in love with her. Batman forced Robin back to the batcave, while Ivy was arrested.
Back in the Batcave, with help from Alfred, Batman and Robin solved the clues The Riddler had left at each of his escapes and discovered his plot was to stage a siege on the Gotham Gold Reserves. And sure enough, inside the Gold Reserves, they found Riddler and Two-Face. Two-Face created a diversion by shooting a nearby barrel of toxic waste onto the floor while The Riddler continued on. Using the Attract Suit, Robin created a swamp boat in which he and Batman used to reach Two-Face. A fight ensured in which Two-Face was nearly defeated, but he got away at the last moment, calling more henchmen and goons to cover him in his flight.
Batman and Robin followed Two-Face through the vault. Riddler ordered Two-Face to attack. This time, Two-Face was almost defeated, but ran to the side of The Riddler at the last moment. The Riddler then used the vault's defence laser to try and defeat the Dynamic Duo. Batman and Robin used the chromed gold in the vault to deflect the laser beams back at The Riddler until his laser was destroyed. The Riddler then changed his tactics to using the mind control technology in his "?" cane to take control of a whimpering Two-Face, and attack the Duo himself. Eventually, both Riddler and Two-Face were knocked back into a pile of gold bars, subduing them both.
Power-Crazed Penguin
When the Gotham Diamond was stolen from a museum, Batman and Robin found Catwoman fleeing from the scene and gave chase to her on the rooftops of Gotham. They caught up with her, once and a short fight ensued, after which Catwoman escaped. The duo continued to follow her above the city until she was finally cornered. She drew Batman in for a kiss, during which she threw the diamond to the streets bellow. Catwoman was then arrested and placed in a police van.
Batman and Catwoman
While in the Batboat, Batman was ambushed by Penguin Goons in submarines. Batman worked his way through the harbour, to find The Penguin's submarine. The submarine was destroyed, Penguin and Killer Croc, (who had helped Penguin escape the museum earlier) headed for the sewers. Batman and Robin caught up with the criminals, but Killer Croc threw the door which gave access to the sewer in Robin's direction to cause a diversion.
Batman and Robin followed the criminals into the sewer where they were attacked by Penguin's Henchmen and Goons. The Duo eventually reached the Police Headquarters, by way of the sewage system, to find Catwoman had been freed and that she had fled the scene with Penguin. Killer Croc was waiting for Batman, and began throwing nearby debris in his direction. When Croc would change his tactics and charge at Batman or Robin, the duo used this time to strike and defeat him. When Croc fell, he dropped a flyer for the Gotham City Zoo.
When Batman and Robin reached the zoo, they discovered the Man-Bat in the hull of a boat Penguin had been using as a lookout. Man-Bat was wrapped in his own wings and defeated.
Batman and Robin continued on to the "Arctic World" portion of the zoo to discover Police Officers had been defeated by a large group of Robotic Penguins. Batman and Robin made their way past the Penguin Minions and the returned Freeze Girls to a cave in the exhibit. In the cave, Batman discovered a satellite dish (which had been stolen by Bane previously) powered by the Gotham Diamond which controlled the Penguin Minions which were assaulting the city. Batman redirected Penguin's bombers into treadmills which gave power to the satellite. Penguin, Catwoman and the Freeze Girls attacked the duo, only to be defeated and returned to Arkham Asylum.

Joker's Return
While shopping for a new cape on the Batcomputer, Batman received a transmission of The Joker laughing at his camera. Alfred helped to prepare the Batwing and Bat-copter for the journey to the factory which transformed the Red Hood into the Joker to investigate. In the factory, Batman and Robin were attacked by Joker Goons and Henchmen. In the back of the factory, Batman discovered The Mad Hatter extracting the factory's chemicals. He made attempts to subdue Batman and Robin with his mind-control technology, but failed as he could only control one person as a time.
During this adventure, Joker and Harley Quinn captured Commissioner Gordon and threatened to kill him if Batman did not act. Batman reached the carnival where Gordon was being held, and a fight ensued with Harley Quinn, while The Joker escaped on his helicopter. Gordon was freed and Harley was contained in a Police Van for the time being. Batman meant to give chase to Joker in his helicopter, but ended up pursuing Scarecrow in his bi-plane. Scarecrow's bi-plane was shot down and crashed into Joker's helicopter in its fall. Both aircrafts were destroyed, and Batman left both villains for dead, not to notice that they survived by clinging onto weather balloons and fell through to the Gotham Art Gallery, where Scarecrow was captured by the Police.
Joker, however, escaped the gallery and met with Killer Moth, who was to help him reach his destination. While on their way, they encountered Gordon, freed Harley Quinn, and were causing havoc on the nearby Police Forces. Batman received a transmission of the trouble on the Batcomputer. He and Robin reached the scene of the crime to find Killer Moth still there. They gave chase to him through the city streets. They eventually cornered and threatened him to tell Batman where Harley and The Joker were, or be sprayed with bug poison. Killer Moth pointed through a hole in the wall he was pinned up against, and Joker's truck was seen pulling up the Gotham City Cathedral.
Batman fighting a Penguin Henchman
Batman, Robin, and the remaining Police Forces rushed to the Cathedral. To gain entry, Robin opened up a window of which Harley Quinn jumped out. Batman used the water turrets mounted on the back of police vans to defeat her. Batman and Robin chased Harley to the top of the Cathedral where she and The Joker hid in giant bells. Once they were discovered by Batman, The Joker summoned his helicopter for protection, but once the helicopter was destroyed, it collapsed the platform which The Joker and Harley were on, knocking Harley unconscious. The Joker then attacked the Dynamic Duo, successfully defeating them with his Joy-Buzzer, knocking them unconscious. Harley was revived by the time Batman was. Batman threw a Batarang at the giant bells which disturbed the bats in the tower who attacked Harley and The Joker who were then arrested by Commissioner Gordon and sent back to Arkham Asylum.
Epilogue
Batman and Robin scale the side of Arkham Asylum with their Grapple-Guns. The Joker looks up out of the window in his cell and begins to swing his fist in anger. At the top of the asylum, the Bat-Signal shines. Batman and Robin aim their guns in the direction of the signal and the game ends with a close up of the bat logo on Batman's chest.
