Let’s talk about the coolest feature – his eyes glow! Unfortunately, so does his mouth…. I also like how the armor has a spot for a batarang or grappling hook to attach most other Batman figures are limited to what his little hooked hands can carry. The cape is fabric like Superman’s, however, the ends are concealed by his armor making a more streamlined integration to the overall look. LEGO did a great job translating his menacing battle armor into tiny minifigure form. Supes also has a slightly different hairstyle that may not follow the traditional jerry curl, but does match the mindset of a character evolution between films.īatman is the real treat in this little set. I’d love to see LEGO find a way to cut the fabric in a way that makes it less noticeable in that respect. The only downside to this with Superman is how visible the fabric is between the head piece and torso (which is normal, but bugs me nonetheless). Prior versions had the normal LEGO rigid fabric/paper feeling material that takes away from some of the visual appeal. His cape is made of flexible fabric that is textured in the way it actually looks in the movie.
Superman is a definite upgrade from the old Man of Steel sets.
