"We are excited to announce the new LEGO Minifigures- The LEGO Batman Movie Series! Available January 2017!" Lego captioned the photos.

Batman mainstays Commissioner Gordon, The Joker, Harley Quinn and The Red Hood are shown alongside lesser-known characters such as Mime, King Tut, the Eraser and Zodiac Master.

New costumes for Batman who will be voiced by Will Arnett, include a Kiss-inspired one complete with a guitar, a caveman outfit with a club and beach attire with an inflatable duck to wear in the water.

Notably Robin, set to be portrayed by Michael Cera in the film, is shown holding a can of shark repellent, a reference to the Adam West led Batman film from 1966.
