I know, I know, we're only talking about Tumbler, Batpod and other Bat right now. The fault with The Dark Knight Rises which inspires the MOCeurs while waiting for another film to take up the torch. The Avengers has also inspired some MOCeurs, but it's not the Quinjet and Helicarrier overdose that one might have expected ...

In short, here are two MOCeurs which offer interesting things: j7boy shows us the total: The Bat, Tumbler and Batpod. It is very detailed, the three devices are very consistent with each other and on his flickr gallery you can admire them in detail. Special mention for The Bat, which here is as messy as the one in the film, and that's not a review. The complex side of the machine is very well rendered.

Jared Chan offers us an original and well thought out Batpod. but I'm going to tell you the truth, what I like most about this MOC is the support ... To see it from other angles go to on his flickr gallery.

I scrape the bottom of the drawer and the rumor of the day comes from Brickipedia, and the word rumor therefore takes on its full meaning ...

While we already know four of the LEGO Super Heroes sets from the first wave 2013, an anonymous contributor who knows a guy who works at LEGO (?!) Announces the existence of two more sets:

An Arkham Asylum set (with the minifigs that we discovered at San Diego Comic Con : Harley Quinn, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy, etc ...) and a set with The Penguin with his mini submarine and Robin, possible remake of the 7885 Robin's Scuba Jet: Attack of The Penguin set released in 2008.

If I tell you about it here, it's first because it's very calm at the moment but it's mainly because these two sets are plausible, if we stick to the list of minifigs seen during SDCC 2012.

For the rest, the four sets already announced are as follows:

- Tumbler + The Bat (TDKR) with Batman, Gordon and Bane
- Batboat with Batman, Freeze and Aquaman
- Spider-Man with a vehicle, Venom and Nick Fury
- Spider-Man with J. Jonah Jameson, Doctor Doom and Ultimate Beetle, and a plane

Those who have received their copy of the book LEGO Batman: The Visual Dictionary were able to discover these photos of prototypes of machines intended for superheroes. I'm still waiting for mine, amazon promises delivery for ... soon.

We discover over the pages a section devoted to the prototypes made by the designers of the range, with the Bane mount, before it was modified to give the machine that we know delivered in the set. 6860 The Batcave, a vehicle model for Mr Freeze made by Marcos Bessa (Designer who has worked on the entire DC Super Heroes range) but above all a version of the Invisible Jet of Wonder Woman, a ship difficult to reproduce anyway, since it is normally ... invisible.

It is not known if this jet will ever be available as a set in the Super Heroes range, or if Mr Freeze will be delivered with a supercharged snowmobile type machine in the next wave of DC Universe sets, but these prototypes are still very interesting to discover ...

(The photo comes from Eurobricks, I just cut out the gear to make them more presentable).
