If you’ve owned or read through past DK LEGO Character Encyclopedias, nothing really groundbreaking is in the book. You definitely can’t imagine Pirate Batman being in a regular LEGO set. The novelty of Pirate Batman gives this minifig a lot of charm and a very unique identity. It looks slightly lighter compared to recent iterations of Batman, which looks like he spent too long in the solarium.ĭespite being obscure as heck, Pirate Batman has grown on me and would be a great addition to any DC fan’s collection.

I noticed a slight difference in Pirate Batman’s skin colour. Pirate Batman also has an alternate face, where he bares his teeth in anger or as a way to intimidate his enemies. The utility belt partially obscures the Bat logo, which marks the first time any Batman minifigure features the Batman logo printed on his back. Here’s a look at the back printing, where you can see the utility belt continuing across his back. The printing is of impeccably quality and all the lines are nice and crisp without any colour bleeding or smudging. The designers definitely got all the Piratery elements right with this one. Batman’s iconic utility belt is worn across his chest like a bandolier. Pirate Batman’s torso and legs are excellent – we get a grey pirate-style suit with dark blue fabric across his belt and boots.

This new Batman head is the same as the one from the Classic TV Series Batcave which is really sweet since I don’t own that set. Bruce Wayne has a confident smirk on his face but unfortunately still suffers from Batman exercise headband syndrome. I was pleasantly surprised when I was greeted by this new-ish Batman face. He has a cloth cape which is made out of the newer heavy fabric material which I love and also comes equipped with a LEGO cutlass and spiked mace. I quite like Pirate Batman’s blue chinless cowl with the shorter ears – this is exclusive (for now) to this minifigure. I only know this from the Wiki article.Īs a minifigure, I quite like Pirate Batman, even though it seems like such an obscure and odd choice for a Batman variant.
This alternate version of Batman, also known as Captain Leatherwing sees Batman buccaneering on the high seas and getting up to all sorts of pirate adventures. Some rough Googling revealed that Pirate Batman was the protagonist in a pretty obscure comic called Batman:Leatherwing in the early 90s. So, I was not aware of Batman’s piratey adventures before this. DK has a long running history of including highly coveted exclusive variants of popular minifigures in its character encyclopedias and other books, which works extremely well to incentivise adult LEGO fans like me to pick them up at the bookstore. The back of the book has more DC super heroes and villains, most of which are from recent sets.īefore we get into the book’s contents, let’s look at the exclusive Pirate Batman minifigure. We get a Pirate Batman minifigure in this edition, which I’ll go through in more detail further down the review. With all DK Character Encyclopedias, the exclusive minifigure is prominently displayed in a clear window. The front cover is pretty cool, it has the Justice League + Starfire on the top border and iconic DC villains at the bottom. In the past two years, LEGO have been slowly realised that they could produce non-Batman led sets which has been great for a DC fan like me since we finally get awesome characters such as Green Lantern and The Flash – very nice since you could finally wrangle up the Justice League crew in LEGO form. This is DK’s and LEGO’s very first DC Comics-focused character encylopedia. Here’s a look at the front cover of the book. The character encyclopedias are generally quite light-hearted and fun, with plenty of humour and trivia that’s aimed at younger audiences. What a mouthful! DK really need to consider shortening their book titles!įor those unfamiliar with DK’s range of LEGO character encyclopedias, they’re hard-cover books featuring detailed profiles of character minifigures from a specific theme. DK has some new LEGO books out this year and I recently picked up their latest DC Comics Super Heroes Character Encyclopedia.
