Theme
DC Super Heroes
Year Released
Released in 2020. This design reflects the LEGO Group's shift toward high-detail printing and specialized leg molding that became standard in the early 2020s superhero waves.
Rarity
Common. This figure was produced in high volume as it appeared in multiple mid-range and popular sets, making it easily accessible to even casual collectors.
Head
Light Nougat head with a white headband (to create the white eyes through the cowl) and a dual-sided expression: one side features a determined scowl, the other a grimace showing teeth. It is topped with a black cowl (part 19961).
Torso
Dark Blueish Gray torso with dual-sided muscle and bat-symbol printing. The front features a large black bat emblem and a highly detailed metallic gold utility belt. Arms are Dark Blueish Gray with black hands.
Legs
Innovative dual-molded legs: Dark Blueish Gray on the upper half and Black on the lower half to represent boots, with black printing for the knee pads.
Accessories
Accompanied by a black fabric cape (traditional soft sponge or stiff fabric depending on the set batch) and usually a black Batarang or Grapple Gun (not pictured).
Color Scheme
A classic monochromatic palette of Dark Blueish Gray and Black, accented with a vibrant Metallic Gold utility belt and Light Nougat skin tone.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and head. Notably, this figure features dual-molding for the legs rather than just printing, providing a crisp color separation between the grey suit and black boots.
Variants
Multiple similar versions exist; however, this specific variant is distinguished by the combination of the dual-molded legs and the light nougat head (replacing the previous yellow-head standard).
Condition Notes
Known wear points include the neck of the cape fraying and the 'clothespying' effect on the torso if stored under pressure. The cowl is durable, but the thin white paint on the headband can scratch if the cowl is frequently removed.
Estimated Value
Approximately $4.00 - $6.00 USD for used complete; $7.00 - $10.00 USD for new/unassembled. Its value is kept low by high supply despite being a very visually appealing figure.
Price (New)
Included in sets ranging from $20.00 to $100.00. Individually on the secondary market, it represents a high-detail figure for a very low entry price.
Compatible Sets
76158 Batboat The Penguin Pursuit!, 76159 Joker's Trike Chase, and 76160 Mobile Bat Base.
Character Background
Based on the iconic DC Comics protector of Gotham City, Batman (Bruce Wayne). This specific aesthetic is a generic 'modern comic' look rather than being tied to a specific movie or game.
Design Notes
This figure is a 'benchmark' minifigure, showcasing how LEGO improved the base-level hero character by adding dual-molded boots, which were previously reserved for premium or CMF figures.
Similar Minifigures
sh218 (Batman - Light Bluish Gray Suit), sh132 (Batman - Dark Blueish Gray Suit - Gold Belt), and sh595 (Batman - Silver Suit).
Collectibility
Medium. While essential for a 'Hall of Armor' display, it is not an investment piece due to mass production. It is highly desirable for MOC builders for its parts.
History
Follows the evolution of the Batman minifigure from the 2006 yellow-skinned era to the 2012 licensed reboot, representing the highest detail iteration of the 'Standard' Batman to date.
Interesting Facts
The white eyes characteristic of Batman are not actually on the cowl; they are a white printed strip on the forehead of the underlying head piece, a design convention LEGO has used since 2012.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a Batcave MOC or a DC line-up. Looks best when standing on a black baseplate under cool-white LED lighting to highlight the metallic gold ink on the belt.
Modification Potential
High. The dual-molded legs are frequently swapped by collectors onto other characters. The belt printing makes it a popular choice for custom 'tactical' hero builds.
Overall Assessment
9/10 for design, 3/10 for investment rarity. A fantastic figure that perfectly captures Batman's comic essence with modern production techniques like dual-molded legs and metallic inks.
