Did you know that the LEGO Group has made 23 different LEGO Batmobiles? All of them are amazing in their own way. Here we will list our favorite LEGO Batmobiles that make the Top 10!

1. LEGO 76240 DC Batman Batmobile Tumbler

This LEGO kit will test your building abilities while also capturing the aesthetic of one of cinema’s most legendary automobiles. It is the ultimate armored anti-crime machine. This Tumbler from the Dark Knight trilogy of Batman films has an opening canopy that allows access to the driver and passenger seats as well as the control console. A stand and minifigures of Batman and The Joker are included. Adult LEGO kits are fun to construct and beautiful to look at, making them ideal for birthdays, holidays, and for anybody who enjoys model building or comic book culture. The vehicle is over 6 in. tall, 17 in. long, and 9 in. wide. Also, it readily integrates with other LEGO DC Batman kits.

2. LEGO 76239 DC Batman Batmobile Tumbler: Scarecrow Showdown

This vehicle gives kids high-octane, super-hero flair and action. The Tumbler Batmobile from the Dark Knight trilogy of Batman films is one of cinema’s most famous, battle-ready vehicles. It includes an opening roof that allows access to the driver and passenger seats as well as the control panel. The truck is outfitted with two stud shooters at the front. There’s even a place to keep the Batarang. There are two minifigures that come in the kit. Batman comes with a Batarang, grapple gun, and an alternate ‘nightmare’ head. And the Scarecrow comes with a stud shooter and a toxic fear gas cannister. When the battle is done for the day, the Tumbler Batmobile looks fantastic on display.

3. LEGO 76188 DC Batman: Batman Classic TV Series Batmobile

The Classic TV Series Batmobile recreates the elegance, action, and thrill of the original 1966 Batman TV series. The classic car has a rotating stand and is filled with fascinating features. With this amazing Batmobile and Batman and The Joker minifigures from the original TV series, kids can act out infinite Batman adventures. This incredible vehicle comes with an opening trunk housing a Batarang. Also, it includes extra bricks that you can use to personalize the car’s hood, with or without the stud shooters.

4. LEGO 76139 DC Batman 1989 Batmobile

Fans of the 1989 Batman film will love this version. It perfectly recreates the unmistakable curves of the Batmobile as seen in the 1989 Batman film. The model, which is nearly 23 inches long and made out of 3,306 parts, is both tough and satisfying to assemble. The slide-open cockpit with a wraparound windscreen element, two pop-up machine cannons (activated by twisting the turbine exhaust), and ornamental grappling hooks on each side of the vehicle are all amazing features. For convenience of viewing from any angle, the model car comes with a rotating display stand (with an attached information plate displaying 1989 Batmobile data). It contains three minifigures: a Batman figure with a cape that resembles his 1989 movie attire, The Joker action figure, and Vicki Vale figure. Also, it comes with a brick-built minifigure display stand.

5. LEGO 76112 DC Super Heroes App-Controlled Batmobile

You will enjoy constructing the incredible app-controlled Batmobile vehicle and patrolling Gotham City with Batman. The set includes Batman weaponry, a minifigure, and remote control ability. This LEGO Batmobile is made up of 321 pieces and comes with a Batman minifigure as well as a Bluetooth-controlled hub that allows the builder to drive, operate, and even do wheelies with their smart device. The Batmobile has 4-wheel drive, two twin stud shooters, and an opening cockpit for a minifigure driver. Download an app and use your smart device to drive and even do stunts to control the Batmobile! The size is more than 3″ tall, 7″ long, and 5″ wide.

6. LEGO 70917 Batman Movie The Ultimate Batmobile

Join forces with the characters from The LEGO Batman Movie! Batman, Batgirl, Robin, and Alfred Pennyworth (in a Batsuit) use The Ultimate Batmobile to capture the Super-Villains! The Batmobile, Batwing, Bat-Tank, and Batcycle are four incredible vehicles that can be made from this model. While the Batwing has fold-out wings and two spring-loaded shooters, the Batmobile has fold-out boosters and four stud shooters. The highly armored Bat-Tank has two concealed 6-stud fast shooters, and the Batcycle features foldable wheels. To encourage infinite role-playing, the kit also includes the rotating Bat-Signal with a LEGO light brick, Polka-Dot Man’s flying disc, and 8 minifigures with various weapons and equipment.

7. LEGO 42127 Technic The Batman – Batmobile

Building the renowned Batmobile automobile in LEGO Technic shape will provide a fascinating challenge for super-hero and comic book fans. This highly realistic toy vehicle construction kit is inspired by the newest iteration of the Batmobile from the 2022 The Batman film and is filled with cool features. The set incorporates two light bricks, one red and one yellow. The red light illuminates the clear toy engine at the rear, while the yellow brick illuminates the front grille. Other fascinating features include front-wheel steering, a differential on the back wheels, a spinning flame, and opening doors and hood. It makes a great display piece as well as provides hours of play. Don’t miss our overview of this and other The Batman LEGO sets which includes more photos and details!

8. LEGO 40433 1989 Batmobile – Limited Edition

You were able to get this Mini Batmobile for free if you were lucky enough to buy the brand-new, limited-edition 1989 Batmobile! Offer for the Mini Batmobile was only available on November 29 through December 5, 2019 at LEGO Stores and on LEGO.com, subject to availability. The only thing you can buy that qualifies is the 1989 Batmobile (item 76139). Only one set was given per household. Item was estimated to be worth $29.99 at the time (it sells for much more now on the secondary market). The item was initially only accessible through this promotion. However, now you can purchase it through third parties.

9. LEGO 70905 Batman Movie The Batmobile

Chase Man-Bat and the Kabuki Twins around Gotham City in the Batmobile. With a twin cockpit for Batman and Robin, two stud shooters, and multidirectional wheels for three distinct driving modes—race mode, monster truck mode, and parallel-parking mode—this set from The LEGO Batman Movie is truly epic. Furthermore, to amp up the role-play fighting action, Man-Bat has a dynamite element, and the Kabuki Twins both have claws.

10. LEGO 76119 DC Batman Batmobile: Pursuit of The Joker

With the help of this crime-fighting set, kids will adore playing the roles of Batman and The Joker. Young super heroes will be delighted by the many eye-catching elements on this vintage Batmobile toy vehicle model, which include a realistic dashboard in the opening minifigure cockpit, Bat symbol decorations on the wheel trims, and a flame exhaust element that turns when the car is pushed. The Batmobile’s concealed, fold-out stud shooters are especially excellent for combat with The Joker, who has a stud shooter of his own. Children may modify their builds, minifigures, and weaponry with the help of the provided pack of 10 diverse Bat components.

LEGO Batman has plenty of firepower to keep Gotham City’s streets free of crime with this lineup. We hope you enjoyed looking over our picks. Let us know if you would change or add any additional LEGO Batmobiles in the comments!

The post Top 10 Best LEGO Batmobile Sets to Fight Crime in Gotham City appeared first on The Brick Parent.

Four new LEGO The Batman sets are now available for pre-order on the LEGO shop online. They will ship on November 1, 2021. These sets are from the new The Batman movie, which is not set to release until March 4, 2022.

Similar to Marvel’s Eternals movie, the release date for The Batman was also delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Even though the movie premiere is delayed, the LEGO sets are still going to be available to purchase on schedule. This means that we can learn more about the upcoming movie from these LEGO sets!

On a side note, this is the same scenario with Eternals. To find out what we can learn about the movie from the LEGO Eternals sets, check out our overview.

Let’s take a look at each of these four LEGO The Batman sets in more detail.

LEGO The Batman 76179 Batman & Selina Kyle Motorcycle Pursuit

This set features a motorcycle chase between Batman and Selina Kyle (aka Catwoman). Along with the two motorcycles, two minifigures, and accessories, you can also see a Batsignal in the background. It’s likely there will be a motorcycle chase scene with these two in the upcoming film.

The back of the box shows how this chase ends, with Batman winning of course. Catwoman appears to have stolen some valuable jewel. She has her hands up in surrender. Also, notice how the Batsignal is a glow in the dark element!

This looks like a fun build which likely plays out one of the movie scenes. I’m not sure how the Batsignal would fit into a motorcycle pursuit, but we will have to wait to find out. Batman comes with a Bruce Wayne minifigure head, so I wonder if Selina Kyle knows his true identity. The fact that she is referred to by her real name in this set and not Catwoman probably means Batman knows who she really is.

You can pre-order this set now for $14.99.

LEGO The Batman 76181 Batmobile: The Penguin Chase

This set features another chase scene, this time between Batman and the Penguin. From The Batman movie trailer, we know there is going to be a car chase scene between Penguin and Batman. However, only the Batmobile comes with this set. The Batmobile has a unique feature where it can fire one or both missiles when pressing on the hood of the car.

The back of the box shows a great view of the rear of the Batmobile and its engine. It also shows more detail of how to launch the missiles in the bottom left corner. The brake lights look like sticker elements.

The blue flame elements seem like a bit much. I don’t really understand how they are all shooting out of the front of the car. Maybe the movie will have this make more sense. One really neat feature is the Penguin’s rocket launcher that fires LEGO stud elements on their side. Another feature I don’t really understand is why a Bruce Wayne minifigure head is included. It wouldn’t make sense for Batman to reveal his true identity to the Penguin. I guess it would expand the playability of this set with no villains present.

This set is now available for pre-order at $29.99.

LEGO The Batman 76183 Batcave: The Riddler Face-off

Moving away from the vehicle chase scenes, this set give us a glimpse inside of The Batman film’s Batcave. Six minifigures come with this set: Batman, Selina Kyle, The Riddler, The Drifter, Alfred and Commissioner Gordon. One big spoiler from this LEGO set is that we may see Bruce Wayne’s other alter ego, the Drifter, in the film. Additionally, two villains appear to be running around the Batcave, so it will be interesting to see how they get there and how Batman plans on capturing them inside his hideout.

The back of the box shows that there are pieces with coded messages from The Riddler which are read with a special magnifying glass. There are a total of three of these messages. Check out the jail in the bottom left corner. The computers in the middle can move back and forth. If you combine this set with LEGO 76181 Batmobile: The Penguin Chase, the Batmobile can go up on the ramps for repairs.

As this film explores the time when Bruce Wayne has only recently become Batman, this looks like an early version of the Batcave. A nice amount of minifigures come with this set, but having another motorcycle here seems a bit redundant. You really are going to have to buy the Batmobile set as well to be able to use all of the Batcave’s features. With the dynamite element, it will be interesting to see if the plot includes The Riddler trying to destroy Batman’s headquarters.

Pre-order this set now for $79.99.

LEGO Technic 42127 THE BATMAN – BATMOBILE

From the 2022 The Batman movie, you can build the newest version of the iconic Batmobile. The most interesting feature of this build is that it includes two light bricks. One yellow and one red. You also notice some blue flame elements, but they make more sense in the build and are more subdued.

Here you can see where the two light bricks are put to use. The yellow light brick is used under the hood to light up the front grille. The red light brick is in the back to light up the transparent engine.

This build looks incredibly detailed and has many features including front steering, rear wheel differential, spinning flame, doors and hood that open, and pistons that move.

This set is now available for pre-order at $99.99.

LEGO sets don’t always stick close to the film plot, but we can make some educated guesses by looking at these LEGO The Batman sets. We will have to wait and see when the film comes out in 2022 how much we are able to recognize from these LEGO sets.

With the vast number of sets available, you may be wondering how to buy the best LEGO set for your kids. Even if your child is new to LEGO, or is an experienced builder, it can be challenging to pick a set you know your child will love. Fortunately, there are some easy ways to break this down. In this post, we will examine the top 3 ways to buy the best LEGO set.

Top 3 Ways to Buy the Best LEGO Set

1. Use our flowchart below to pick the best set fast!
2. Shop by age.
3. Shop by theme.

Let’s explore each of these three methods below.

The Brick Parent Flowchart

Our flowchart algorithm provides a quick and easy way to pick the best set! Start at the top and work your way down by answering to questions to have the algorithm pick the best theme for your child. Only the most popular themes are included. See the “Shop by Theme” section below for a list of all of the LEGO themes to choose from.

We think this flowchart is pretty amazing! But, if it doesn’t seem right for you, then continue on to Shop by Age or Theme!

Shop By Age

There a couple of different ways to sort LEGO sets by age. The official LEGO website does it one way, whereas other big retailers like Amazon categorize the ages a bit differently. We have included 5 main age categories below. The most important points to remember is that the younger kids start with LEGO DUPLO, and then graduate to regular sized bricks at age 4+. The sets then increase in size, complexity, and time to build all the way up to sets made especially for adults!

LEGO Age Categories

Check out the different age categories below to help you narrow down the best LEGO set to get!

Ages 1-3

LEGO DUPLO sets are perfect for little ones who are new to building and are developing their fine motor skills.

Ages 4-6

Look for the special “4+” on the box, which designates these sets are made of regular sized LEGO bricks but are a bit easier to build.

Ages 7-11

Themes such as the Creator 3-in-1 are larger, more complex, and offer alternative builds.

Ages 12+

These sets are more challenging and detailed. They provide hours of build time and fun.

Adults (Ages 18+)

Of course, there are sets made for adults! These are the most challenging builds and will take many hours to complete. They are perfect as a gift for your favorite AFOL (Adult Fan of LEGO)!

Now that you know the different age groups, you can further narrow down your choice of set by theme.

Shop by Theme

Another great way to make sure you buy the best LEGO set is to choose the right theme! You can use our flowchart above to have it pick one of the best and most popular themes for you, or you can browse the list of the current themes below.
