LEGO: will we celebrate Batman Day with a new 1989 UCS set?

LEGO Batman Day 2020! A short time ago, DC Comics announced that Batman Day 2020 will be next September 19th and some news related to the world of LEGO bricks will be revealed during the event. According to the press release (an excerpt of which we quote below in the original), LEGO will release exclusive Batman products to celebrate the day. No official statement has yet been released, but according to increasingly insistent rumors, there is talk of a new Batwing "UCS" 1989, also in this case "taken" from Tim Burton's 1989 film, exactly like the Batmobile "UCS" released last November 2019.

The announcement could be made right on the day of Batman Day 2020: according to the above rumors, the model should be composed of 2,363 elements and include three minifigures: Batman, Joker and a another figure still unknown. The price should be around 200 euros. It looks like sales are due to start in October.

Many of the Dark Knight fans will remember the scene where Jack Nicholson's Joker rebels on the streets of Gotham City and Michael Keaton's Batman faces him with his batwing from above. In the past few weeks, some photos have taken off on social media, clearly showing the distinctive bat shape of the 1989 Batwing film. Almost certainly, the new Dark Knight set will therefore be an exclusive D2C set, just like the LEGO 76139 Batmobile (Click here to buy set # 76139)
