The all-new LEGO Batman: The Movie “Super Heroes United” was released today (May 21st, 2013) on both DVD and Blu-Ray. But while any new LEGO animated cartoon’s release is cause for celebration, the major selling-point of this movie isn’t the feature itself–it’s the highly-desirable exclusive LEGO minifigure packed-in! Never before available in any set (and unlikely ever to be), it’s the exclusive LEGO Clark Kent minifigure! And while the LEGO Batman: The Movie set is available anywhere DVDs and Blu-Ray discs are sold, the best price for this set is definitely online…

The suggested retail price on the LEGO Batman: The Movie DVD with exclusive LEGO Clark Kent minifigure is $19.99. At that price, I would have a tough time justifying buying the set, as I really only want the LEGO Superman Clark Kent minifigure. As a Superman fan, the Clark Kent Superman LEGO minifigure is a must for me. Luckily, Amazon has come to the rescue this time! Amazon is selling the LEGO Batman: The Movie “Super Heroes Unite” DVD with exclusive Clark Kent minifigure for $9.99 with free shipping. I’m not all that interested in the movie, but for less than 10 dollars, I’ll buy that LEGO Clark Kent!

The LEGO Batman: The Movie Blu-Ray is a bit more expensive, as it has a suggested retail price of $24.99. Amazon has the LEGO Batman Movie Bluray for $13.99, which seems like a much more fair price to me. Both the DVD and Blu-Ray versions of the movie come with the exclusive LEGO Clark Kent Superman minifigure, so it just depends on whether or not having the movie in high-definition is worth the extra four bucks to you. I don’t have any burning desire to see LEGO Batman The Movie Super Heroes Unite in high-def, so I’m definitely going with the cheaper DVD version.

If you have absolutely no interest in the LEGO Batman Movie and just want the Superman Clark Kent LEGO minifigure, some people have already listed their LEGO Clark Kent minifigures for sale without the DVD/Blu-ray, but it’s unlikely you’ll save more than a dollar or so over what you would pay buying the minifigure with the actual DVD set.
