There are cars so unique that they define a generation of fans; the Batmobile™ from Batman Returns™ is one of them. A vehicle so singular and so perfectly tuned with the gothic vision of Gotham City™ that thirty years on, it has never left the cultural conversation.
Now, you can build this elegant piece of cinema history brick by brick and, for the first time ever, watch it transform into the Batmissile™.
Long, low, and sleek, the Batmobile reflected the art deco vision of Gotham City that made the Batman™ franchise visually unforgettable.
When the team set out to design the Batmobile, they wanted something edgier and darker than anything that had come before. The result was a vehicle that felt like it had always existed somewhere in the shadowy corners of Gotham City: menacing, magnificent, and unlike anything else on four wheels.
Here is where things get truly spectacular.
The LEGO® DC Batman: Batman Returns Batmobile (76355) set is the first ever to feature a transformation mechanism, and it doesn’t disappoint. Press the button and the two sides of the car fall away, revealing the sleek Batmissile within.
A direct recreation of one of the most iconic scenes from Batman Returns, where Batman finds himself in a dire situation when The Penguin™ hijacks the Batmobile, forcing him to use the Batmissile to escape. This escape vehicle navigates an incredibly narrow alleyway, causing three police cars to crash behind it, freeing the DC Super Hero to speed back to the Batcave™. A jaw-dropping moment that never quite left us.
Slide open the canopy to get a closer look at a detailed replica of the cockpit with its intricate interior. The closer you get to this set, the more you will appreciate it. At 17 in. (45 cm) long, it will make an imposing presence on any shelf.
This is a set built to be shown off. Once assembled, you can display it as the full Batmobile or switch it into Batmissile mode for something altogether more dramatic on your shelf. One thing is certain: whatever combination you choose, it’s guaranteed to turn heads.
Whichever mode you choose, don’t forget to place the Batman minifigure next to it. It comes with a cape and sits atop the stand bearing the Batman Returns name. A detail that collectors are going to love!
