6863 Batwing Battle Over Gotham city is a DC Universe Super Heroes set to be released in 2012. It will include Batman, The Joker, a Joker Henchman, the Batwing, and The Joker's Helicopter. It is very similar to 7782 The Batwing: The Joker's Aerial Assault from the 2006 Batman theme.

Description

Batwing Battle Over Gotham City is made up of two parts; Batman's Batwing and The Joker's helicopter.

The Batwing is styled to resemble the bat-logo on Batman's chest, but the plane is much more angular than the rounded logo. As all of Batman's vehicles, the Batwing is black, but also has a little bit of yellow on the decorative logos on the wings and the arrows on the "bat's head".

The Joker's helicopter is coloured mostly green and purple, but also uses black in areas like the rotors and skis. The Henchman drives the helicopter, which is only large enough to hold one person, while The Joker dangles on a white rope ladder attached to the skis. Between the skis is a red and white "laughing gas" bomb which can be dropped. There are also two red guns of some sort attached onto the helicopter's sides.

Background

This set could be based on a scene from the 1989 Batman movie where The Joker uses a helicopter as a getaway vehicle after attempting to spread laughing gas across Gotham City, but is stopped by Batman in the Batwing. This is supported by Batman's suit, which resembles the one in the movie.

According to the set description (which has been translated from French), it The Joker is planning to drop a laughing gas bomb on Gotham City, which Batman tries to prevent.

Set description translated from French

"Hooked on a scale in his helicopter, the Joker is preparing to launch a bomb" on laughing gas toxic "to the citizens of Gotham City. Luckily help arrives! Batman rushes aboard his Batwing high speed. Will he use the missiles to put the Joker KO? Includes three figures: Batman, the Joker and henchman. "(278 pieces)
