Subject: Your interest in our Batman line


Dear Rick, thank you very much for your mail regarding Batman.

We have seen that the new Batman film is a huge success so we looking into possibilities to do more new Batman sets. Unfortunately I can not comment more on possibly upcoming products.

Regarding your Minifg questions I can only tell you that we could think about all characters you name as possible LEGO Minifg characters but also here I am not able to comment on possibly upcoming products.

Hope my answers help you a little bit.
Kind regards, med venlig hilsen, mit freundlichen Grüssen

I wish that Lego would produce more sets, but I know that there will be more Batman. After the game and a possible TV special. Lego is not going to drop Batman.

THey have to make the rest of the characters that are in the game. Batgirl and Clayface look so cool.
