Batman's been around for 75 years, so that means plenty of time for lots of strange iterations of the Dark Knight.

LEGO is all about the superhero, though, and for this year's San Diego Comic-Con (running Wednesday through Sunday) one of the exclusive mini-figures the company will be giving out to attendees is a LEGO Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, sporting a very gaudy and colorful costume that looks much different than the usual gray-scaled cape and cowl.

Fun fact: There actually have been two versions of the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh in comic-book lore. There's the one that was the Batman of Planet-X from the 1950s who had Superman-like powers, and a more recent take by Grant Morrison six years ago presented the character as a psychotic personality of Bruce Wayne.

Other giveaway mini-figures include Bard the Bowman from The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, The Collector from the upcoming Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy, and The LEGO Movie characters Cutesykitty and Cheerykitty. One change for this year is, because the exclusive toys are always really popular, attendees will have their Comic-Con badge scanned at the LEGO booth in the San Diego Convention Center to see if they're a winner of one of the mini-figs.
