This was the second LEGO Batman theme, relaunched in 2012 as part of the LEGO DC Universe Superheroes line, a subtheme of the LEGO Super Heroes. The first Batman theme was introduced in 2006 under license from DC Comics. The subtheme focuses on Batman but also include elements from other Batman universes.
2021 LEGO Sets
In 2021, LEGO continued its trajectory of product expansion and innovation. One notable addition was the "LEGO VIDIYO" theme, introduced in partnership with Universal Music Group, which combined physical sets with a digital music video making experience. The company also expanded the "LEGO Art" series, allowing adults and older fans to create wall art based on various franchises. Existing themes like "Star Wars," "City," "Technic," and others received new set additions. Sustainability efforts were underscored with the announcement of prototype bricks made from recycled plastic.
