The LEGO Batman Movie
Year Released
Released in January 2017 to coincide with the premiere of The LEGO Batman Movie. This era marked a peak for high-detail, specialized molds for Batman variants.
Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a blind-bag series with millions produced, its popularity and specific specialized parts (cowl, cape, jagged armor) make it highly sought after today.
Head
Double-sided head; one side features a determined scowl, the other a singing/shouting expression with high-detail sliver eye mask printing under the cowl.
Torso
Black torso with highly detailed V-neck 'Glam Rock' vest, silver studs, chest hair printing, and a large white bat-symbol on the back belt area.
Legs
Dual-molded legs (black top, light bluish gray bottom) with silver and black boot printing and spiked knee pad detailing.
Accessories
Removable silver spiked shoulder armor, a specialized stiff black jagged cape, a black electric guitar, and a standard Cowl with silver eye-mask printing.
Color Scheme
Primary black and silver accented by light bluish gray highlights, reflecting the 1970s-80s glam rock aesthetic (comparable to KISS).
Printing Details
Exceptional pad printing with high metallic silver density on the eyes, torso, and legs. Includes rare side-arm printing of silver studs/spikes.
Variants
This is the only official Glam Rocker variant. A similar 'Fairy Batman' and 'Clan of the Cave Batman' were released in the same CMF series.
Condition Notes
The stiff cape is prone to fraying at the edges. Check for silver paint rubbing on the shoulder spikes and the points of the bat-cowl.
Estimated Value
New (Sealed): $15-20 USD. Used Complete: $8-12 USD. Incomplete/No cape: $4-6 USD.
Price (New)
Original retail was $3.99 USD per blind bag in 2017.

Collectibility
High. LEGO Batman Movie variants are staple items for completionist collectors due to their creativity and unique humorous designs.
History
Represents the 'Second Golden Age' of LEGO Batman where the license allowed for parody rather than just strict comic/movie accuracy.
Interesting Facts
The chest hair printing was a controversial yet popular design choice among adult fans for its accuracy to the 'rock star' trope.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a stage-style MOC or alongside the other 19 'wacky suits' from the CMF wave using 1x2-2x2 bracket stands.
Modification Potential
The shoulder armor is highly popular for repurposing into Mad Max-style Apocalypseburg MOCs or custom fantasy knights.
Overall Assessment
A standout figure of 2017. Its combination of humor, high-quality metallic printing, and unique silhouette makes it a 9/10 for any collector.
