Yep, also includes a cat. Why? Because it’s LEGO and Batman? I’m not sure and I don’t remember the TV series well enough. Maybe it belongs to Catwoman?
The set includes tons of fun details in Wayne Manor, like the batphone, Shakespeare bust, portraits of Thomas and Martha way, and the tags on the Batpoles to make sure they use the correct one.
LEGO could have released this collection as a group of sets and people would buy them all, instead they’ve released this massive single set for $269.99 USD ($329.99 CDN, £229.99 UK ) with 2562 pieces. They could still release other locations and sets from the TV series, but that seems unlikely.
