It's certainly tempting, that's for sure. I'm still on the fence about just how much I'll let myself get invested in the Lego Batman Movie, since while I'd certainly love as complete a collection as possible, the huge number of sets and figures would make doing so exceptionally expensive.

to be fair though, you could probably save money by buying incomplete sets since there's inevitably going to be more batmen than anyone would know what to do with, even if they all do seem to have unique head printings

That's the thing, though—I'm a sucker for unique head prints. Apart from Batman, Robin, the Joker, and Batgirl, very few figs are repeated across multiple sets, and of those, many sets do still include unique variants. Beyond that, you just know that aftermarket sellers are going to charge through the nose for many of these figs. So forgoing a set like the one with Killer Croc might not end up saving you much money if you do want to have all the unique figs that set has to offer.

We'll see. A big factor in how deep I get into this theme will be how much the movie resonates with me. And I'll probably put off buying any of these sets until we get more pictures and info about the summer sets at Toy Fair, so that I can avoid as much redundancy as possible. But if I do get the urge to collect absolutely everyone, it certainly will cost me a pretty penny.
