Batman appears in two new products announced in 2026: a MAFEX figure shown at Medicom Toy's 30th anniversary exhibition and a Nintendo Switch 2 port of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight set for September release.
Two 2026 stories cover Batman's presence in collectible figures and video games. At Medicom Toy's 30th anniversary exhibition in Tokyo, which ran July 25-30, 2026, the company displayed a new MAFEX Batman figure alongside other DC characters. The sofubi lineup also included a Batman figure from the SUPER MANGA POWERS line, specifically a Batman: Hush version. The exhibition was free and open to the public at Space O in Omotesando Hills.
In video games, Sega announced on June 4, 2026, that the Nintendo Switch 2 version of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight will launch on September 18, 2026, priced at 7,678 yen for physical and digital copies. The game was already available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Pre-orders include a The Dark Knight Returns-inspired Batsuit as a bonus. The two stories do not connect to each other; they represent separate product announcements involving the Batman license in different media.
