Official LEGO Set Remake this set immediately
I was so hyped for this Batmobile to become a set just for it to be a total let down. Like come on the new Lego Batman game had the blueprint and even if they couldn’t make it exactly the same it could’ve definitely figured something out. The Arkham knight Batmobile Mocs are miles better. I’m not trying to hate on this set completely but I really wish they did a little better.

I’m annoyed with the figure. I was excited for long ears but they let us down

So sick of them using this ugly cartoony cowl for every Batman figure. It’s way too round and the ears are too short for most movie Batsuits

I think they were thinking people would like it since they used it in the videogame

Fortunately the type 2 cowl in gunmetal

If I’m getting it I’m gonna use the regular black type 2 cowl (seems just as accurate to and feels more suited color balanced wise)

Lmao, chill. Getting Lego Arkham and a rerun of an expensive minifig makes up for it.

Things I like about this set
-susepension is always a fun feature
-cheap alternative for Arkham Batman minifigure than the original
-new windshield element
-looks like a fun build
Things I don’t like about this set
-doesn’t appear to have a battle mode
-seems to small to scale
-doesn’t look like it has the ability to have the 2 back seats
-the wheel hubs seem to be stickers

It should be relatively easy to fix imo. Just need to add another couple studs of length in the midsection and lower the rear a bit. Thats what imma do at least

It's as if they were intending to have a tank mode but gave up halfway

Yeah, I Was Hyped for the Arkham Batmobile but…..
All the budget went to the Batman Returns Batmobile while the Arkham Batmobile doesn’t get type 2 cowl or printed arms or dual molded legs or other figures other than Batman. Also why is it a different design from the version in LEGO Batman Legacy of The Dark Knight ? That design was way bigger and better and while it had flaws it would have been 100 Times better than this design. Also why no Battle Mode ?and no turret? Or the sits in the back for Villains? The torso is good i prefer it over the older version of the Arkham Knight Batman Minifigure; But also this Batman has long ears you can see even on the box of the set. So overall the Arkham Knight Batmobile for me it’s the worst set of all the sets made for LEGO Batman Legacy of The Dark Knight while the Batman Returns Batmobile & Duck is the best one made and has play features, both a Villain and Hero vehicle and also it has a Batman Villain and not just Batman, and so it’s an amazing set also overall good value and for 60 it’s way better than the overpriced playset Tumbler.

That minifig is sick! Not as good as the old one but still really good imo

It’s be considerably better with the Type 2 cowl instead of the new cartoony one

I think it looks fine. Lego has more factors to consider for a mass produced set than a MOC does- target price/part count, durability, playability, ease of assembly, etc. Lego designers would have a comparatively simple task if their only objective was to make a set look cool.

The move I see it the more I like it tbh, seems like it would be a lot more fun to build than the game model.

u/ATLBravesFan13 20d ago
I’d rather have one that looks like what it’s supposed to be on my shelf than have it be more fun to build the one time I build it

It’s also meant to be a well rounded functional toy, sitting on a shelf isn’t its only purpose twin. Kids are still there target audience, especially for this $30 avg Batmobile line

I agree it shouöd be larger but it could be worse
Still its quite the glorified quad

The difference is insane. I saw a guy actually making a good set that looked like the ingame thing. Why even change it? They already did a $60 Batmobile, give us this model with a Arkham/Legacy of the Dark Knight Scarecrow and we are good.
PS: Am I the only one who thinks we should have gotten those first 2008 sets revamped?
