Box
Batman made a comeback but this round the size of the vehicle shrink. What I got here with me is the smallest playset from the Batman theme and by looking at the box, this one is the states version. The front of the box comes with parts count, serial number and name of the set. The top side of the box shows Batman minifigs in his actual scale and the back, some comic like way to show the playability.

Accessories
The set comes with quite a number of accessories but if were to compare to the previous Batman theme, the accessories for Batman drop a lot.  Anyway, here are the accessories from this set.

Minifigs
Cut to the chase, Batman and Catwoman have two expression printed on their head. Both Batman and Catwoman got both side of their torso printed too.

Catcycle
I don't really like this Catcycle either, but was a pretty good piece to add into my LEGO bike collection. This Catcycle has two stands installed. Has a tail to install the rear light and clippers to hold the whip.

Traffic lights and others
I think is pretty useless to have these if you do not have the road baseplate from LEGO. There is a traffic light, dustbin and a news stand. All combine under one plate. There are also bricks that represent boxes been placed by the side of road.

The traffic lights are three-sided and not four, but it looks pretty good too. The only flaws is that it was only three side. I like the design very much. To drop the lights, just topple the holder over and it will fall.

Extra pieces
I made some error here and just realized it, there are no extra batrang. My bad. The rest should be there after the assembling process.

Completed model
I like a few pieces in this set especially the new Batman wing. It also comes with a few accessories that I like to collect and the cool motorbike to add them into my LEGO motorbike collection. I think the traffic light thin can be scrapped off and the price can be further reduced.

Playability: 4/10 Falling traffic light, that's it.
Building experience: 4/10 Learn to build the traffic lights. . .
Parts: 6/10 A lot of accessories, motorbike and cool figs.
Value for money: 6/10 Not really worth if you look for playability, unless u look for accessories, then is good.
Overall: 5/10 Is affordable, comes with useful accessories and nice minifigs.
