We’re So Serious About This New LEGO Batmobile

Holy nostalgia, Batman! With its latest building kit, The LEGO Group is handing fans the keys to the most heroic hotrod in Gotham City: the Batmobile.

Dark, dangerous, and display-worthy, this suped-up set recreates one of the best-known iterations of Batman’s iconic ride, specifically its appearance in Tim Burton’s 1992 classic, Batman Returns. Packed with intricate details, secret mysteries, and all-new elements never before seen in LEGO form, this set definitely does the DC superhero justice. You can shop the set starting Sept. 4 for $229.99. 

Fans can channel their inner Lucius Fox to build the 2,269-piece model, complete with a jet turbine engine, an opening canopy, a detailed interior cockpit, and a minifigure of Michael Keaton’s Batman, rocking a newly molded cowl and cape combo created just for the set. True detectives might even spot a few hidden Easter eggs, such as the transmission device The Penguin used to hack the Batmobile in the film.

Buckle up, because this set is about to get even cooler. When you press a tiny button on the back, a lift-arm mechanism peels away the side panels, transforming the car into the sleek and stealthy Batmissile escape vehicle — just like it does on screen! Whichever form you decide to display it in, this piece is an ultra-powerful addition to any Gothomites’ garage. 

Fans can take the LEGO DC Batman: Batman Returns Batmobile out for a spin starting Sept. 4. Meanwhile, LEGO Insiders can hop behind the wheel as early as Sept. 1.
