The Lego Batman Movie (aka the best-rated DC movie since The Dark Knight) is out this weekend, and a cavalcade of beautiful and wonderful toys came with it. While the Lego sets are the main draw (and they’re beautiful, indeed) they are expensive. However, if you just want some fun Lego Batman trinkets to amuse yourself, feast your eyes on the Minifigure Blind Bags. They’re cheap and amazing, and I want to examine the in-depth comic book history behind each and every one.

1. The Calculator

Bronze Age DC Batman Villains are the best kind of comic book characters. They’re so weird and wonderful and beautiful.

And Noah Kuttler, alias The Calculator, is the best of the best. He was created to capitalize on the popularity of the newly invented pocket calculator in 1976. So yeah, your TI-84  has a Batman villain named for it. The Calculator started off (as I've mentioned in previous articles) with the dumbest plan I've ever seen a supervillain have. Ever.

His gear analyzed the fighting style of anyone he fought to help him beat them. So he went around and purposely got himself beaten up by every major superhero so he could beat them "next time". IF YOUR PLAN INVOLVES LOSING A WHOLE BUNCH BEFORE YOU CAN WIN EVEN ONCE, IT IS A BAD PLAN! Calculator would later transition into a planner role, serving as the "Oracle" for supervillains, but thankfully that’s not the version they made a Lego of.

They made a Lego of the "loses on purpose" version.
