Earlier today, LEGO posted an image celebrating the birthday of Adam West. You probably know that Adam West was Batman from the Batman television series back in the 1960s. That takes us to the point, did LEGO tease out a hint of the Batman minifigure for the upcoming LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Classic TV Series Batcave (76052) set?
Notice the Batmobile in the image above of the newer style stud shooters on the hood. Before there was no mentioning if there would be a Batmobile in the 76052 set but this is more evidence that there could be one included. LEGO has released a chibi version of the vehicle at San Diego Comic Con but this set could be a great opportunity to put out a regular sized car.
Thanks to everyone who messaged in about the image. I did see it this morning but I was at work the whole day and didn’t have time to do a post on it then.

Ugh why do they feel the need to put white eyes on every batman minifigure. For once it would be nice if they didn’t.
It’s basically just laziness. They would have had to mold a special cowl (because the eyes are too high up on the cowl than they would be on the printed face). I hate it because it makes it not look like the Adam West Batman in that way, but it is what it is. I hope they nail the rest of the figs and set to make up for it.
They would not even have to make a new mold, all they have to do is prints eyes higher. Yes it would look weird if you took off the cowl but to be honest why would you.
*print the eyes higher
There should just be a whole new head sculpt that looks like the one from the game. I don’t get why so few elements of the game make it into toy form. Like the new deathstroke figure.
Maybe this is meant to be how Batman looks in the intro of the tv show. Or the comics that were around at the time.
The stud shooters give it away as a real set.
I see the Batmboile uses the Speed Champions wheels. I believe this is like a remake of the 60s Batmboile that features in Lego Batman 3. They do look similar. https://comicgamersassemble.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/60-batmobile.jpg
