LEGO has revealed three new sets based on The LEGO Batman Movie, which will be released globally in 2017. Revealed on LEGO's Facebook page, the first set includes the Batcave, four variations of Batman, Bruce Wayne in a tuxedo, Alfred, Penguin, Batman's "Riptide" boat, and a duck-shaped vehicle labeled "duck and cover." The Arkham Asylum set, meanwhile, appears to be the largest of the three. This set includes the asylum, Batman, Robin, police officers, and a handful of notable villains — The Joker, Dr. Quinzel, Two-Face, and more. Note the Two-Face figure appears to be based on Billy Dee Williams' portrayal of Harvey Dent in Batman (1989). The set also includes a police cruiser, security screening station, and plenty of accessories. Rounding out the list of new reveals is a smaller set focused on Mr. Freeze. The highlights of this set are Mr. Freeze himself, Freeze's Robotic suit, and a flamethrower-wielding Batman. The LEGO Batman Movie is expected to hit theaters February 10, 2017.

The wave being dubbed by Dimensions as “7.5” will bring a new Story Pack and two new Fun Packs! (Plus one previous retail exclusive!) Check out all four new packs below!

Coinciding with the release of the upcoming film on which it’s based, The LEGO Batman Movie Story Pack, will provide a deep, story-driven gameplay experience with iconic DC characters in six puzzle-packed levels and new LEGO Gateway bricks that allow players to build the Bat-Computer atop the LEGO Toy Pad.
The pack comes with buildable Batgirl and Robin minifigures and the 3-in-1 buildable Batwing which can be rebuilt into The Black Thunder and Bat-Tank. Gamers can play the complete movie and band together with Batgirl and Robin to fight off the Joker and his team of villains. Batgirl’s batarang, glide and stealth abilities can reach areas with high security access and Robin’s agility and dive skills provide sneak access.

With the May 5 release date getting closer by the day, we have even more merchandise photos, this time featuring upcoming LEGO with characters such as Baby Groot and Ayesha, along with a few of the Ravagers. There are three LEGO sets in total here, although it hasn't been confirmed when these sets will go on sale, or how much they will cost, but those details may be coming soon.
Bleeding Cool offers our first look at these sets, the first of which is called "Ayesha's Revenge," referring to Elizabeth Debicki's character Ayesha. Naturally, we can't tell from the LEGO set why Ayesha is seeking revenge, but the set also includes Star-Lord, Yondu and Baby Groot mini-figures. Regardless of this "revenge" aspect of the LEGO set, it doesn't necessarily mean that there will be a revenge aspect in the actual movie.Ayesha is said to be the main villain in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, but it still isn't clear what her motive for revenge may be at this time. Ayesha was a prominent character in the comics, who was originally known as the Paragon and went by several other aliases such as Kismet, J'Ridia Starduster and Her. She was created by the Enclave in their attempt to bring forth a supernatural being through their Citadel of Science. The organization's first attempt was "Him," otherwise known as Adam Warlock, and both later escaped the Enclave and fled to outer space.
It isn't know how she will be utilized in the story.The second set is entitled Ravager Attack, which features mini-figures for Taserface (Chris Sullivan), Mantis (Pom Klementieff) and Rocket Raccoon (Bradley Cooper). This set also includes a Ravager ship and a tree build as well, but like the previous set, no pricing details or release date has been released at this time. The final set may be the most exciting of the group, which features the most mini-figures and some of the franchise's most iconic characters.The third and final LEGO set is entitled he Milano vs. The Abilisk, the gruesome creature we've previously seen in the Guardians 2 trailer. Along with the iconic Milano ship and the Abilisk, this set comes with mini-figs for all of the Guardians except Rocket, with Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Star Lord (Chris Pratt), Drax (Dave Bautista) and Baby Groot (Vin Diesel, along with Nebula (Karen Gillan). With all of these mini-figs and the Milano, this could turn out to be quite the coveted LEGO set.
