2026 LEGO Batman sets revealed!

Posted by ,

Four new LEGO DC sets have been announced, ahead of their release on March 1st, 2026!

These sets are 76330 Batman Logo, 76331 Batman v Superman Batmobile, 76332 The Batman Batmobile and 76333 Batman & Robin Batmobile, launched to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the original LEGO Batman theme and the release of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight.

The three Batmobile sets include their respective versions of Batman and the cars have never looked better at this scale, in my opinion. I was particularly happy to see the Batman & Robin design making its LEGO debut!

Is it too much to ask for a Superman minifigure with the Batman versus Superman Batmobile?

You know what, considering how outlandish DC film debates get... include the current Corenswet Superman as the guy for Batfleck to beat up. Dude is just trying to save a squirrel (have to include the squirrel in LEGO form) when Batfleck arrives thinking he's Henry Cavill and starts throwing punches. It's the kind of crossover that would piss off different corners of the internet, while the rest of us would just find it funny. Like adult men crying "restore the Snyder-verse" getting a Snyder-verse era set with a squirrel in it.

Batman & Robin Batmobile - with no Robin?

Gravatar
By in United States,

It is pissing me off that the "the batman" batmobile is built nothing like the game

BvS batmobile is actually pretty awsome looking, I was worried when I saw the leaked piece count but it is pretty cool, using larger elements to build the design, something lego has been avoiding recently

Gravatar
By in Netherlands,

The cars look pretty good but these are a rough value at €30 each. Almost no prints on the cars and they mostly rely on stickers. Surely the repeated patterns could have been printed? And I would've expected at least two figures per set. The addition of Superman, The Penguin and Robin (or a B&R villain) would've helped with the value.

The BvS batmobile is generally an improvement but it is a shame about those hollow studs on the side and that the unique canopy moulds were not used. For using this common windshield part it looks quite good, and they finally managed to get the armour on the front wheels.

The Batman Batmobile looks much better in-game, I don't understand why they didn't use the Speed Champions wheels. At least the front wheels should've been smaller.

The B&R set looks good but the wings are a bit thick and it relies too much on stickers.

I once read a review of the first Nolan film that said they called it “Batman Begins” because “Batman: The Last Movie Sucked So Bad It Almost Killed The Franchise” was too long for a movie title.

So, you get a collectable gold coin, but it's also built into the vehicle where you really can't see it.

Looks like these vehicles are trying to balance between being minifigure/play vehicles, but also be collectable display items like the Star Wars ship models. So, pass for me. I guess the beauty of Batman is that he's had so many Batmobiles since 1939 that you can pick your favorite version and be happy with that, unless you're going for an insane Batcave display and want every version. I still have my TLBM model which...is not the quintessential Batmobile by any stretch, but it works for me.

Gravatar
By in United States,

The Reeves car looks really good. It's a solid improvement on the old set in proportions and details, makes good use of new parts, and it's at a good price.

The BvS car is a mixed bag. The color is an improvement, and the construction of the front wheel armor is much better, but the old dedicated element worked better for the windscreen than this generic printed element. The price should be $20.

The B&R car is, you know what, it's cute. I don't like the movie car and I wouldn't like a larger model that was to scale with the 1989 or TAS cars, but I can dig this set as a cute little version of a 4+ Batmobile at a slightly higher age rating. It should still be $20 though.

The shape of the logo is great, but it should be smooth and ungreebled and sold at half the price. This is one thing that doesn't need greebling all over the place. And Golden Batman is just weird and tacky.

Gravatar
By in United States,

I feel like I'm missing something with the logo. It's cool that the greebling incorporates so many different tools and references. But why is it greebled at all?

The text mentions that the figure fits in the hatch in the middle, which is supposed to be a suit vault. But that's not what the bat cave has ever looked like, right?

This might be rock bottom for lego dc. Just batman and batmobiles. No villains, no supporting characters.

Other way around. The best LEGO Batmobile by a mile!

I wondered if they might re-do the 'The Batman' Batmobile as the one that appeared in the trailer for the new Lego Batman video game was clearly improved from the one they released in 2022. I did mod my 2022 version in ways that this new one mirrors, but I think there's enough improvement on the new one to justify buying again, particularly for only £25.
I wonder if the Batman vs Superman one will tempt me. I really liked that Batmobile design as it feels the most practical, even though I'm pretty middling on the movie. However I do already own the one from 76045 which is a good portrayal of the vehicle

*thirty seconds of googling*

Dang, that is what the Batman and Robin Batmobile looked like. Decisions were certainly made.

Kind of wish the Batman Forever Batmobile was introduced at this scale; I’d have all the live action movie Batmobiles at the appropriate scale in that scenario.

Gravatar
By in Australia,

I would have much preferred an oval logo with the yellow background like what’s on the boxes. Batmobiles do absolutely nothing for me

Gravatar
By in Germany,

The logo looks pretty cool and actually contains an exclusive minifigure, unlike the treatment Star Wars fans got. But these overpriced Batmobiles with a single minifig and cheapened out design choices like City truck tires or stickers over double convex parts are really bad. I get that the 20th anniversary is for LEGO Batman, but it's just the name of the theme and never was solely about an individual. It's as if TLG considers this The Dark Knight the only cash cow in the DC world and all the budget went into the prints for the minifigure, which make up for a maximum of 2-3€. Not even close to CMF quality and level of detail.

Gravatar
By in United States,

Wow, a truly terrible lineup IMO. The logo looks AWFUL - why the hell is it so heavily greebled - and the BVS Batmobile is overpriced.

We just got a THE BATMAN Batmobile a few years ago, and the only set that's entirely new is a VERY underwhelming rendition of a fairly unique Batmobile that is nonetheless from a terrible movie and the set doesn't even include Robin.

I'm reminded of when the BTAS action figure line in the 1990s was just endless variants of Batman in increasingly ridiculous colors. Truly an uninspired lineup.

Gravatar
By in United States,

TLG must really hate Superman, Robin, and basically any DC character that isn’t Batman.

The Batman & Robin set low-key looks like a microfighter

By in France,

Damn. At least 3 new Batmobiles to add to my collection!

Gravatar
By in United States,

Man, they just refuse to get the Pattinson Batman minifig correct. It NEEDS to be gunmetal grey or even black, and it really needs a new cowl & arm printing. The cape is also wrong. The dual-molded legs are an improvement over the previous figure, at least. I really hope they completely redesign the figure if they end up making sets for The Batman Part II.

As for the sets themselves, I think they look genuinely terrible. Both the BvS & The Batman Batmobiles look markedly worse than their original sets, and the Batman & Robin one straight up looks like a 4+ set.

The less said about the logo, the better. What a disappointing wave.

Gravatar
By in United States,

So no play-scale Batmobile from Batman Forever? Interesting. Why did they give us that awkwardly scaled version for $100? No secondary figures in any of these also kinda sucks.

Gravatar
By in United States,

Wait. So these sets basically act as physical DLC? Come on!

DESIGNER: Ok, I finished the Batman LOGO and it looks great at 500 pieces.
LEGO: Add 178 more pieces.
DESIGNER: Wait, what? Um, okay, we could go bigger?
LEGO: No, same size. Just greeble the hell out of it, like that Milky Way thing.
DESIGNER: But, this one is all black so it wouldn’t work the same…
LEGO: Are you still here?
DESIGNER: I mean, it would look like a Borg cube cutout…
LEGO: Oh, and remove that arm printing on Batman. This isn’t a key chain!

Thank Khonshu, at long last, a Batmobile in Lego-format. We've been waiting for so long. Maybe we can finally get a Hulkbuster or a Landspeeder as well? We've been ever so good this year.

By in United States,

So why was the Batman Forever Batmobile 76304 not made to be minifig-scale like these? Now that decision is really baffling... yeah the "ribs" look really nice but if it can't sit next to my other minifig-scale Batmobiles in my minifig-scale Batcave, then what's the point? Just give me stickers. You stickered the heck out of that Batman & Robin Batmobile and it looks like hot garbage but you know what I'd rather have that than something out of scale with everything else (*UCS not included).

Gravatar
By in United States,

These are not too interesting to me but I suppose they make sense as tie-ins with the upcoming video game (and celebration of the theme's anniversary).

One thing I think would make a cool set would be an upscaled Batman build like the other 6x scale minifig builds recently. Feels like that'd make a pretty good display piece.

The set is named after the movie, not the minifigs in the set.

Do I see right that the mask is the same mold? They should be different, like Affleck batears are much shorter than Pattinson batears.

LEGO Batman walked so that LEGO DC Comics could... have absolutely no representation whatsoever.

This stuff is laughable, especially as others pointed out sets with "Superman" and "Robin" literally in the set name yet those characters not included. The logo is bad. The cars are all lame imo. Then lego has the nerve to play up their 2 cent plastic gold "collector coin". Smh

Nothing new. It is likely that the gold variant is exclusive to the set but the other car is unlockable in game - this would just get you it without paying studs I suspect. They did this for SW: The Skywalker Saga and also Forza Horizon 4. Oh, and Fortnite. And Minecraft. It's a bonus for buying the set.

"What else are you hoping for from LEGO DC?"

A Batcave set based on Batman: The Animated Series from 1992 similar to set 7783. There's no wonder why the price of that set keeps increasing on the secondary market. A Wayne Manor similar to the one seen in the upcoming video game LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight would also be excellent.

By in United States,

Honestly wasn't super interested until I realized that these are more-or-less Speed Champions scale instead of the oversized playset ones we normally get. I honestly might pick up 76332 just for that, because it does genuinely look cool and the price is fine (unlike some of the others...).

I'm not a huge Batman guy (LEGO Batman excepted, most of the time) but the Reeves/Pattinson Batmobile is a beautiful monster and this iteration of it looks way nicer than 76181. It's not as detailed, but it's way sleeker, the proportions and hood are more accurate, and it gets the vibes across better than the chunky playset version.

Gravatar
By in United States,

Personally I love all of these, and most of them are priced decently. It’s a bit sad that $30 for 300 or fewer pieces is now considered to be reasonable, but I think compared to many recent Star Wars releases these aren’t bad on price.

Gravatar
By in Netherlands,

The Batmobiles, again? Please call me, when they will finally release Anne Hathaway as my favorite Catwoman. If they won't, don't even dare to call me.

Gravatar
By in United States,

The models each looks pretty good, it's nice to have Batmobiles not be $50-60. Shame to miss out on Robin or Superman, and it's baffling that there's no good way for kids to get any actual villains for Batman to fight.

Hopefully these do well enough that we can get more Batmobiles in the scale like The Batman (2004) or Brave and the Bold.

By in New Zealand,

Yawn, more Batmobiles I know, but I actually love these. Of the many batmobiles released these are amongst the best.

They had ONE JOB with the B&R Batmobile, which was to use a transparent hood to show the neon “engine” inside. The same trick they did with the Forever Batmobile, which looked great. Nope, STICKERS.

Gravatar
By in United States,

You just know that logo is going to look horrendous the second it gets dusty. Also am I the only one that can't stand the white eyes they give every Batman Minifigure? I wish they'd just print regular eyes on the heads. Sure, they'd be higher up to the point you couldn't use the head for anything else, but it'd look so much better.

Speed Champions but Batmobiles is a fine concept and all but the prices are just awful. Par for the course for Lego these days but the price reflects what I'd expect for the set + an additional figure. These look like great clearance sale pickups but I hope they sell poorly before then.

I'm sure you'll get your stickered hot mess Batman Forever Batmobile at some point, but they want you clambering for it. And I also think that perhaps LEGO wanted to try out a different scale to see if people would be interested in that, so a 30th anniversary set is a perfect way to do so. They know they can always sell folks a minifig-scale Batmobile.

A bit gutted tbh, was hoping for better. When I look at the building and shaping techniques that go into making Speed Champs brilliant, these just feel like a missed opportunity….. and more expensive!

Heard there would be a Lego Batman logo…assumed yellow oval with central bat. The SW and Marvel ones were great, so I was all in. Why did they just make the bat without the oval and why did they greeble it? Baffling. You can’t tell me this option will sell better.

Gravatar
By in United States,

I suppose its nice that all these batmobiles are 25usd even if an entire wave of Batmobiles is kinda tiring... I just wish they'd at least give us an extra character each set.
Like, how about Robin in the set that's literally called BATMAN & ROBIN Batmobile?

Gravatar
By in United States,

I wish these vehicles weren't associated with the new video game and were instead branded under the speed champions line. I think those choices could've allowed for a slightly larger parts budget and complex build techniques.

Well I guess someone cares about Joel Schumacher’s… uh, “legacy.”

I like the minifig parts in that Bat V Superman one. That looks like a nice space pilot suit with no bat insignia screwing it up.

Gravatar
By in United States,

This is an easy complaint to make but the set names are very misleading since neither “Batman & Robin Batmobile” and “Batman v Superman Batmobile” include a Robin or Superman minifig. Fail.

I will agree the sets all look great and it’s nice they are 8 studs wide instead of 6 like 76181.

DC comes from the name Detective Comics, which is the title that Batman first appeared in, and which has long since become a Batman-focused title much like Action Comics did with Superman. Except Detective Comics is an older title than Action Comics by about a year.

@CommandrCody212:
$30 for 300pcs has generally been considered reasonable since before the first minifig crawled out of a vat of ABS pellets back nearly 50 years ago.

@yamaki:
7784, not to mention all the many, many polybags.

@supervir2:
I have a purple hoodie with basically this exact logo on it, and I love it. Batman has such a wealth of different logo designs that the endlessly recycled Silver Age logo isn’t even close to being my favorite, but ditch the oval target and it’s refreshingly different.

By in Australia,

All of the minifigures are amazing and will be highly sought-after … especially that Gold Batman!
(even though that’s the simplest one with the least printing).

The Batmobile from ‘Batman v Superman’ may be the ugliest LEGO set I’ve ever seen - and I’ve seen them ALL!

The Batsignal is an interesting concept, but is the most hideously overpriced LEGO set of all-time …. And LEGO seems to outdo themselves every month with that record!
Here in Australia, it’s almost 20 cents per part …. And most of the parts are small greebling pieces!!

A shame we still don't get a specific cowl piece for the Battinson Batman but that Batmobile model seems to be a vast improvement over the first one.
I'll be getting that BvS Batmobile as well but I wish they kept the original molds for the windshields.

I personally think all Pearl Gold figures look pretty ugly, it just doesn't look golden to me... it's somewhere between caramel and ear wax. Doesn't help that you can't really use them anywhere in a build outside a standalone display thingie lol.

Gravatar
By in Netherlands,

I kinda like the logo, though I certainly don't like it €70 much. But at a decent discount, yes, I might go for it.

Don't care much for any of these Batmobiles, and is that Batman & Robin one supposed to be from the (terrible) movie? Sorry, I don't see it. But hey, at least they seem quite reasonably priced, especially compared to some of the more recent ones.

Gravatar
By in United States,

I may have to pick up the Batman & Robin figure since we haven't had him before. And unlike most people, I loved the campiness of it. (Plus the Smashing Pumpkins on the soundtrack was solid). I loved Batman Forever also. They all have their own quirks that I've enjoyed over the years.

But I don't really care about the sets otherwise so I will likely pass.

Ironic that the Batman vs. Superman Batmobile only comes with Batman, and the Batman and Robin Batmobile only comes with...guess who...Batman! I'm not too peeved about the "The Batman" Batmobile only having one fig, considering there is only one character in the name of that film...

The Batman Logo is pretty cool but too expensive. The rest of the stuff is very meh. I really wish they’d do more with this IP than just Bat vehicles. They’ve done a little more over the years but there’s so little exploration of anything not only Batman. Too many great villains and sidekicks that get little to no attention.

Give me more stew like the skyline or Arkham .

That logo set sucks as a celebration. No shade on the designer; I think the shaping and greebling are very well done. For what it is it’s good. But as a *celebration* it’s awful. As a “Batman celebration set” it’s just that: just Batman, in the same black costume he’s wearing in the cheap sets, which is just a minor update from a variant that’s been appearing since 2012. None of his friends or foes get in except as easter eggs in matte black. They couldn’t even toss in Joker in his Juniors outfit and Catwoman or Riddler from Arkham? Granted, a few unique characters like the Marvel logo would be better, but at least there’s no way I’d even be tempted to get it.

The Batmobiles are better. Seeing these at $30 again is maybe the one unambiguously good thing here with how those have been hiking in price each tear till now. They sold a Juniors Batmobile with a Mr. Freeze minifigure thrown in for $20 last year. Yes, an extra character should probably be in each set, especially when you consider $30 Marvel cars get three. (Though most of those live off of reusing the same 3-4 Spider-Man characters.) But these are probably a bit more comparable to Speed Champions. And for me personally, I don’t know if I really want other characters from these movies that badly, sans Arnie Mr. Freeze, but I get that it would be good for a Cavill Superman or Kravitz Catwoman to be more accessible to new fans. And it is a bit silly when two of these are from movies where Batman’s co-star is named in the title….

I missed the BvS Batmobile before and this one is an improvement in a lot of ways, though I miss the unique windshields. The B&R car is pretty ugly (understandable) but it’ll be worth getting on discount for Clooney Batman, even sans nipples.

And one more small point: I am very glad that the Batmen in the cars have cloth capes. I don’t like the rubber one much to begin with, but the way vehicles need to have space built around it for the cockpits when Batman already needs that for his cowl is an annoying feature of the last couple of Batmobiles.

At first I didn’t like the logo but the more I look and see different references to characters the more it grows on me. As for the batmobiles - I’m all for them. Wish they had more figs and that the recent BTAS and BF ones were in scale though.

Now where are my Superman and Justice Gang sets?

I personally think all Pearl Gold figures look pretty ugly, it just doesn't look golden to me... it's somewhere between caramel and ear wax. Doesn't help that you can't really use them anywhere in a build outside a standalone display thingie lol."


I used a pearl-gold torso in my D&D scene, to make a Halfling Paladin. Pearl-gold torso, 1x1 round plates (legs), 1x1 plates (feet), and then the armor from Number71047-4, and the helmet from IDEA187. Throw in the Beholder shield and a trans-purple shortsword, and she's one of best minifigs in the display.

Yes, it's from that...we'll be generous and call it a film. It's got the goofy split-open tailfin that bounced around like a piece of cheap plastic, because they probably made it out of a piece of cheap plastic. The motorcycle is about the only thing from that film that doesn't suck. Yes, there was a motorcycle, too. Don't remember anything about its usage, but Hot Wheels used to have a line of premium Batcraft, and I've picked up several of them over the years. I got the motorcycle because it looked interesting, and it was only later that I realized it had the film logo on the card. I did pass on buying the matching car, though.

I like the greebling (although I seem to be in the minority on that one) but when I saw the words "Batman Logo," I too was expecting the yellow background.

I could not care less about the BvS Batmobile, which I consider quite ugly, but I like the other two - and I’d be even happier if they did a set with Robin, Batgirl and the motorbikes to go with the Batman & Robin one. And then keep making Batman & Robin stuff until they get to a Mr Freeze minifig in a polar bear dressing gown and slippers.

(I consider B&R to be a perfectly decent example of funny-camp Batman along the lines of the 60s show&film, if not quite as can’t-breathe funny as the 60s one was.)

The easter egg greebling on the logo is very fun but I’d need a pretty steep discount, I think, as with any of the logo builds, but that’s purely a preference thing.

If they're going to do a Dark Knight Catwoman, I'd really prefer they put her on a Batpod. And I mean an actual, decent, film-based design, and not a two-wheeled car that they've just slapped the Batpod moniker on. I've got a couple variants of an original design that look fairly accurate to the film, but they're incredibly fragile and would never pass muster for an official set. A lot of new parts have come out since then, and I may have to see what changes I can make to strengthen some of the connections, particularly how the front fork is mounted (not one, not two, but _three_ single-stud connections with a brick of a wheel hanging off the end).

That said, I'm not averse to a better model of the LobsterCopter, so long as they don't just throw Catwoman in as an extra minifig. Do both in the same set. Or do the LobsterCopter as one set, and give us a second set with a camo version of 76239 against Catwoman on a Batpod.

What I would like to see is a larger, UCS-scale 2022 Batmobile. 42127 was a reasonable rendition, but was limited by the Technic system and has several issues, most notably the front wheels being a smaller diameter than the rear, and the inclusion of a passenger seat when there isn't one in the actual vehicle. These new sets look good for their scale, but that logo is frankly horrific. Far too busy and should have incorporated the yellow oval.

Whoever thinks these sets are reasonably priced clearly has a short term memory or didn't bother to check the database for previous Batmobiles. The last The Batman Batmobile also cost 30 bucks, had two detailed minifigs plus an extra head and wig, contained more parts and was also bigger and cooler and this was in 2022! If this is not a classic case of shrinkflation, I don't know what is.

By in Australia,

The thing I hated about the "Batman and Robin" Batmobile -- and something that, honestly, just doesn't get talked about enough -- is that there's no cockpit. Just an open seat where Batman's head sticks up.

Not only does it look ridiculous ... but in both "Batman Returns" and "Batman Forever", we'd seen Batman engage villains (with powerful firearms) while driving the Batmobile, and of course, even powerful ammunition will just bounce off the vehicle's bulletproof shell (which would you would expect because it's the frickin' Batmobile).

And isn't it convenient that none of the villains in "Batman and Robin" thought to do this, because one good shot would've taken Bruce's head off.

The Icehammer vehicle at the end was pretty cool (and of the three Bat-vehicles designed to withstand Freeze's ice-weapons, it was the only one with an enclosed cockpit), but that version of the Batmobile was easily the least practical and most ridiculous of them all.

I mean, I really like the Lego version so I'm going to buy it anyway, next year, but the point still stands.

The greebling would look a lot better on the 75389 Dark Falcon. It looks like some sort of continuation of 76252 Batcave (I wonder if it fits in the opening). It's just plain nonsense but the set would have nothing to show for without it. The stand isn't exactly a stunner either.

Objectively, the only part of that mess that can be called “good” is the end credits. And ironically, I should know what SP song you guys are referring to, but I don’t.

@R0Sch:
They’re both 8-wide, and (excluding the flames) within a couple studs of each other in length. Piece count is one thing, but I don’t think you can legitimately complain about this version being fractionally smaller, especially if the proportions are now more accurate to the film. The only other option would be to boost it to 10-wide, and then pretty soon we’re back in 18-wide territory like 7888.

If she were a redhead she’d be a different Batgirl - B&R Batgirl isn’t Barbara Gordon, daughter of Jim Gordon, she’s Barbara Wilson, Alfred Pennyworth’s niece. Insisting she has to be a redhead would make as much sense as insisting Cassandra Cain has to be, they aren’t the same person just because they use the same Superhero ID.

(Besides, Barbara Gordon wasn’t even the first Bat-Girl, and Betty Kane is blonde.)

"Ah, I stand corrected. But then, I've never seen the movie and (if I'm not mistaken) Babs is by far the most prominent Batgirl, so you can understand how I'd make that mistake."

She’s definitely the most famous, but that whole discussion gets awkward since The Killing Joke. While Moore never intended for TKJ to be canon, they put Babs in a wheelchair and made her Oracle in the mainstream comics. Stuff like B:TAS that fell outside of continuity did continue to stick to Babs as Batgirl, but it wasn’t until New 52 that the main comics put her back on her feet and back in the costume. And they took hell for it, from paraplegic and quadriplegic readers who felt one of the rare instances of representation in superhero comics had been taken away from them. I believe they returned her to the wheelchair (Rebirth?), and then made someone (someones?) else Batgirl going forward. But yeah, the minifigs exclusively stick to Barbara, from what I can tell.

@PurpleDave: I didn't see the "Bang" flag before, but looking at the picture again while trying to find the mallet (and I found it this time), I saw it before I'd read far enough down in your list to even see that it was there. And didn't the backlash re: making Barbara fully able-bodied again come from the disabled community as a whole, not just para- and quadriplegics? Even before I ended up in a wheelchair myself, I always liked the fact that Oracle's wheelchair was (at least usually) depicted without handles, showing that she didn't need or want help to get around just because her legs didn't work any more.

I’m aware that they got called out on it, but I was neither party to, nor witness of, the actual discourse. But yeah, I doubt anyone who is likely to speak up about ableism is going to take a pass because it’s not directed at their specific disability.

Anyways, let’s do a rundown of the role. Betty Kane (niece of Kathy Kane, the original Batwoman) originated the role as Bat-Girl. She has since gone by Flamebird, Plebe, and Hawkfire. Barbara Gordon, of course, came next, but the origin of that is rather insulting to women and anyone who fights crime, so the not one word said about it, the better. Shot by Joker in The Killing Joke, gets a computer that’s better than Batman’s, and takes on the name of Oracle. And DC took flak for the depiction of violence against women (they just can’t win with this scenario). Helena Bertinelli (aka Huntress) gets kicked out of the role by Batman, because she wouldn’t work within his code. Cassandra Cain took over, then got retconned into a villain, DC took more flak (see?), and had to change her back. And Stephanie Brown (Robin IV, because technically she’s before Carrie Kelly) stepped into the role. And then Babs got surgery, took the role back, DC got flak, and Babs split her time between being Batgirl and Oracle…apparently. And Cassandra and Stephanie were also more Batgirls, I guess. Plus, there are all the Elseworlds and alternate Earth versions, of which the B&R Batgirl is a fairly tepid example.

And apparently they never did un-heal her paralysis, though she did suffer some other significant injury that forced her to step back from being Batgirl and resume the role of Oracle, for a little while.

Honestly, the only song of theirs that I actually like is Tonight, Tonight, and even that’s mostly for the music video salute to the first sci-fi film ever made. I know, I know, they’re the only band from my hometown, and I’m just not a fan. I liked the boat, though (apparently so did the band, since they hung out on the Gargoyle a lot). I liked it better after we redid the deck and seating, and you didn’t have to sit over a 4” seatback to max out your speed, but I never got to sail on it after the modifications were done.
