LEGO Batman: The Visual Dictionary looks like it will be similar to their Star Wars Visual Dictionary, with lots of high resolution photos of all of the sets and minifigures. I'm assuming this will cover both incarnations of the Batman series, as it seems like they would not have enough material if they only included the current run of sets. Interestingly, we will get an exclusive figure. No clue on what that will be as of yet.
Includes an EXCLUSIVE minifigure!

I really want to know who that shadow charactor is in the dictionary-
ReplyDeleteI should point out that we now know the mystery fig. It's Batman wearing the Electro Suit found in the video game.
ReplyDeleteno its not thats another book retard this one is lego batman not lego batman DC SUPERHEROS dictionary
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI did some checking around. It appears that there has been a slight change in the cover since I first posted this. The version from the trade catalog released earlier this year is shown above. The newer version, now featured on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, puts "DC Universe Super Heroes" more prominently at the top of the page and has a larger picture of Batman just from the waist up and also images Bane and his drill tank from 6860 The Batcave, the 7784 UCS Batmobile, and a Joker fig (2012 variant).
Or, as Anonymous so politely points out, perhaps I'm just a retard, and DK is releasing two completely different books, with almost exactly the same title and the same content on the same day.
Slight apologies for the sarcasm.
