Summary
LEGO is translating the heavily armored Arkham-era Batmobile into a compact, 317-piece build
A fully functional suspension lets the car absorb bumps as it rolls over uneven surfaces
Pulling off the rear panel uncovers a concealed compartment built into the body
LEGO has revealed the ArkhamBatman Batmobile, a 317-piece set that captures the bulky, militarized take on Batman’s signature vehicle. Small enough to sit comfortably on a desk or shelf, the build still makes room for moving parts, pairing a working suspension with a hidden storage space and a cockpit sized for the included Batman minifigure.
The suspension is the set’s headline feature. Rather than a rigid chassis, the car is engineered so its wheels flex independently, letting it bounce and settle as it travels across rough ground. It’s a mechanical detail usually reserved for larger, more technical builds, and it gives the Batmobile a sense of weight and motion even at this scale.
Inside, the cockpit holds the caped Batman minifigure, ready to drop in behind the controls. Around back, the rear panel lifts away to reveal a hidden compartment tucked into the body, a practical touch that also adds a layer of discovery to the finished model.
Completed, the Batmobile stretches more than 6 in. (16 cm) long, 3 in. (8 cm) wide and 2.5 in. (7 cm) tall. The angular armor plating and low, wide stance are designed to hold up as a display piece when it isn’t on the move.
The design draws from Rocksteady Studios’ Batman: Arkham video game series, where the Batmobile took a far more aggressive, tank-like form than its film counterparts. The car became a central gameplay element in 2015’s Batman: Arkham Knight, which let players drive it through Gotham City and switch it into a combat-ready battle mode. That armored silhouette, all heavy panels and oversized tires, translates naturally into brick form.
The LEGO Arkham Batman Batmobile arrives January 1, 2027, via LEGO.
