30160: Batman, his jetski and his new mask ...

As I am still waiting to receive my copies ordered in the USA of this bag that we are not about to see in our regions, I take advantage of the magnificent photos offered by stick_kim on his flickr gallery to briefly talk about Batman's new mask again.

Some already see in this new accessory the thinly veiled announcement of a version based on the third installment of The Dark Knight saga which is due out this summer. However, the exclusive minifigure obviously inspired by the films of the Nolan saga and distributed during the San Diego Comic Con in 2011 was equipped with the mask model that we have all known for many years.

So simple update of an accessory which was singularly lacking in finesse and which deserves to be reviewed and redesigned or marketing of a new version which foreshadows the arrival of Batman-Bale in the form of a set this summer?

We will find out in the next few months .... In the meantime, here are some pictures of stick_kim which will allow you to better compare the two versions. The rest is to be discovered in the flickr gallery of the gentleman.
