LEGO is getting in on the Batman celebrations, as the comic creation turns 80. Today, they’ve revealed new sets for fans to pick up featuring the hero’s iconic vehicles, hideout, and enemies. All of these are slated to hit on August 1st at major retailers, except this first one will arrive a tad early as a WalMart exclusive on July 1st:

Emergency! Mr. Freeze™ is turning GOTHAM CITY™ into ice! Ride to the rescue with LEGO® Batman™ and Robin™ on the Batcycle with this awesome playset. Fire the stud shooter at Mr. Freeze’s snow scooter and steer clear of his freeze gun. Then split the Batman bike in two and ambush the super-villain. Attack with Robin’s sword and target Mr. Freeze with Batman’s Batarang and grappling hook shooter. Only you can turn up the heat on this bad guy and save GOTHAM CITY!

Red alert! The Joker™ is causing trouble in downtown GOTHAM CITY™, so leap into the Batmobile™ cockpit with LEGO® Batman™ and chase him down. Hit top speed and make the flame exhaust and the Bat symbols on the wheels spin. Unfold the hidden stud shooters and fire. Swerve The Joker’s LEGO stud shooter then jump out of the Batmobile and chase him down the street. You must capture the grinning Super-Villain before he creates more chaos!
LEGO Batman Batwing and The Riddler Heist | 489 pieces | Age 7+ 49.99 (USD)
Dash to stop The Riddler’s robbery with LEGO® Batman™, Commissioner Gordon™ and SHAZAM!™. The Super-Villain has unlocked the stolen safe, hooked it to his helicopter and is getting away.

The action never stops with this this brilliant building set. You must take down the helicopter and capture The Riddler™ before he escapes with the stolen cash and gems!
LEGO Batman Batcave Clayface Invasion | 1,038 pieces | Age 8+ 99.99 (USD)
Quick! Transform Bruce Wayne™ into Batman™ to stop Clayface™ invading the LEGO® Batcave! Check the Batcomputer and dash to the Bat-Tank™. Fire the Bat-Tank’s flick missiles, hook and stud shooters at the monster. Team up with Batwoman™ to get Clayface to release Robin™ from its huge hands. But watch out—Two-Face™ is trying to break Catwoman™ out of the jail. You must capture these Super-Villain invaders before they destroy the Batcave!
Two other sets for the younger crowd are also making their way into stores on August 1st, so even little kids can get in on the superhero action. These include Batman vs. The Riddler Robbery ($9.99) and Batman and The Joker Escape ($39.99). All of these are pretty swanky, but which ones will you be picking up at the end of Summer?
