The release date for the movie has been set for March 2022 so LEGO releasing The Batman sets in November is about five good months before the film hits the theatres.
One of the really cool inclusions is the red magnifying glass element that doubles up as a decoder when placed over the printed 2×2 tile. This was really popular in the 80’s where you would use a red plastic filter to decode messages hidden in some of the graphics that was used in toys of that era.
Walmart lists these sets as available on November 3rd 2021 in the United States and will subsequently launch in January 2022 in other market regions like Germany.
Hopefully they will be available in South East Asia in November but something tells me that we will only see these sets in the new year.
