First off, I'm a big LEGO fan and I've been after discontinued LEGO Batman products like a maniac, so you can imagine my excitement when I opened the latest edition of "LEGO Magazine" to find a comic strip advertising the return of Lego Batman products. I went nuts! Apparently, a lot of other people did too, because it was almost impossible to find in a store, bout I was finally able to get my hands on one: the 6863 set with the batman and the joker.
The batwing and joker's helicopter have both been simplified from the discontinued set 7782LEGO Batman - The Batwing: The Joker's Aerial Assault, but still retain much of its awesomeness. The batwing has two flick-fire missiles, x-wing style rear wings, and a dropping missile. The joker's helicopter has FOUR flick-fire missiles and a joker-gas bomb made from a repainted star wars astromech.
The batman minifigure is like none ever made before. He has a double faced head, one with his usual charming grimness, and the other with a kind of "I've gotcha now" kinda grin. The torso piece is also unique. It's black, has a black emblem, and a canvas belt print. It has a back print.
The Joker has, to say the least, improved. His face and grin (both of them, he is also double-faced) are more malicious and evil. His torso is more detailed (his vest is checkered). The joker's henchman is exclusive to this set(so far), he has a mask face based on the masks from the thugs in the "Dark Knight" movie. He has a back print with joker's face detail on it, and a robber cap.
Overall, this set is woth the money and the wait, but if you can't get ahold of one after tying for two weeks, buy it online.
Go LEGO!

I had a lot of fun helping my 5 year old put this set together this morning. I don't normally like that sort of thing, but the directions were fantastic and simple enough for him to do most of it. This was our first lego set and I'm super excited to buy more! The finished products included in this set are extremely cool looking and fun to play with.

"The Batwing Battle Over Gotham City" set contains 278 pieces which come together to form my favorite "DC Universe" set. The Batwing and the Jokers Chopper. Set comes with 3 figures; a Joker w/machine gun, a Joker henchman and a Batman w/ 2 batarangs. Both were bigger than I expected, the wingspan on the Batwing is 8 inches. The batwing has a flick missile under each wing, a bat bomb that detaches via a push button, up and down cockpit and the back wings raise up to form a 'X'. The Jokers Chopper has 2 flick missiles on each side and a cute Joker face flick missile underneath, has a dangling ladder, up and down cockpit as well and the blades spin nice and smooth.
Both are super durable, solidly built and look pretty sweet, especially the Batwing. Nothing falls off during play which is a plus. Just another great set by Lego.
