My prediction is that Mattel does intend to sell it to the public, but it will be held off until next year to coincide with the release of the Arkham Knight game. I am not saying this to be optimistic but basing this on a practical business observation: There's a YouTube video where a guy reviews it, and he demonstrates how sophisticated the toy is. The tooling costs to only produce a few thousand to sell at SDCC and never again would be enormous, and a waste of money, just for that.

So yeah, I predict you'll be able to buy one in a store. But it will be packaged in a smaller, simpler, not as showy box; won't include a Batman figure; and will cost $89. People who buy it at SDCC will still have a unique collectible because of the bigger, fancier packaging and the Batman figure it comes with.
