Celebrate Batman Day By Picking Up Some Of The Dark Knight's Best Lego Sets

Lego teams up with many brands and uses many different IPs for its sets. Yet, its long-standing relationship with the Batman brand remains among its most famous. After all, there is a Lego Batman movie and several excellent Lego games based on the iconic hero. Not many other brands can say that.
However, everything began with Lego sets when the block-based company partnered with the Batman universe in 2006. And the relationship has since been restored in recent times. As a result, there are plenty of Batman-themed sets on the market today. The following ones are the best currently available.

- Loaded with Easter Eggs from The Animated Series
- While worth the money, it's one of Batman's more expensive Lego sets

LEGO DC Batman vs. The Joker Gift Set
Lego Batman Chasing Lego Joker Through History
Brand Batman Pieces 835 Age Suitability 8+Lego's Batman vs. The Joker gift set includes three sets that pit Minifigure versions of the bitter enemies against each other. Included is a Batmobile set, a Batwing set, and a set based on Batman from 1992.
Pros & Cons- Three Lego sets for less than the price of one
- Pulls from different eras of Joker and Batman's historic rivalry
- Three-in-one bundle is exclusive to Walmart
What's better than one Lego Batman set? Well, three Lego Batman sets, of course, all neatly packed into a single box and sold for the price of a single set. Less than the price of a single set in some cases as we all know, no matter how fun Lego is, some sets can be pretty pricey.
Batman and Joker's rivalry is one that has spanned decades across various mediums, and this three-in-one set demonstrates that in Lego form. The three sets you'll find in the box are a chase centered around a Lego Batmobile, a Lego version of the Batwing that takes Batman and Joker's battle to the skies over Gotham, and a set inspired by Michael Keaton's Batman, specifically how The Dark Knight looked in 1992, as reflected in the Minifigure that comes with it.
LEGO Technic The Batman Batcycle
Batcycles Always Look Great
Pieces 641 Age Suitability 9+ Brand BatmanMatt Reeves' The Batman might be a grounded and serious adaptation, but that doesn't mean it can't inspire Lego sets. This one is a re-creation of the Batcycle that Batman uses in the movie. It has chunky wheels and a light on the front, just like the film version.
Pros & Cons- The front light and both wheels look like their movie counterpart
- The engine is detailed and enjoyable to put together
- The engine doesn't look much like the movie version
A requirement of each Batman adaptation is the inclusion of a few nice vehicles. Matt Reeves' Batman does that with both the Batmobile and Batcycle. The latter is the inspiration for this set.
The movie version has a big light on the front and chunky wheels, which is also true for this set - yet the light doesn't actually function as a light. The engine looks a bit different on this one. However, while it might not look like the one from the film, the engine is still enjoyable to build.
LEGO The Batman Batcave The Riddler Face-off
A Crowded Batcave
Pieces 581 Age Suitability 8+ Mini Figures Batman, The Riddler, James Gordon, Selina Kyle, Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne - Drifter Brand BatmanThis Lego version of the Batcave is based on the one from Matt Reeves's The Batman. It includes the hero's screens, tools, and Batcycle. The place is busier than usual, though, as The Riddler, James Gordon, and Selina Kyle join Batman and Alfred at the hideout.
Pros & Cons- Great minifigures
- The set is visually impressive
- The Batcave is a bit thin, as it lacks depth
Lego has been making Batcave sets for some time now. This one stands out, though, because it's based on the Batcave featured in the Matt Reeves movie. It's a visual delight and includes plenty of little details.
The best part, though, is the collection of minifigures that come with it. You get figures for all the main characters in the movie, including separate Batman and Bruce Wayne ones. And they all look really good and resemble their movie counterparts.
LEGO Batwing: Batman vs. The Joker
Another One Of Batman's "Wonderful Toys" As Joker Calls Them
Number of Pieces 357 Age Recommendation 8+ Figures Included Batman, The Joker Brand BatmanIn celebration of the 1989 Batman movie, Lego has released this set. It features a detailed Batwing, as well as figures of Michael Keaton's Batman and Jack Nicholson's Joker. Perfect for both play and display.
Pros & Cons- Batwing fires projectiles
- It can be hung on a wall
- Joker looks amazing
- Easy to lose the small projectiles
While there have been many movie, television, and video game adaptations of the Batman universe, few are as popular as Tim Burton's take on the series. This is exactly what this set celebrates. More specifically, it's paying homage to the Batwing from the 1989 film.
It does so successfully, as the Lego version of the vehicle looks just like the one from the movie. As such, it looks great on display. It's also sturdy enough to play with.
LEGO Batman Construction Figure
Heroes Aren't Born, But They Can Be Built With Lego Blocks
Number of Pieces 275 Age Recommendation 8+ Brand Batman Figures Included NoneIf Batman mini-figures are too small for you, you should look at this construction figure of the caped crusader. He is 26cm of justice and looks glorious in his iconic attire from the Tim Burton movies.
Pros & Cons- Adjustable joints
- Suit looks fantastic
- Cape is easy to put on
- His head looks a bit odd
Most Batman Lego sets focus on the character's vehicles or the Batcave. This one, however, is all about the hero, specifically the Michael Keaton version. This figure is much bigger and more detailed than the mini-figs you can get of the character.
So, he looks more impressive on display than traditional Lego figures. Plus, with his adjustable joints, he's more versatile when it comes to play. Therefore, it's a perfect set for those who truly love the character.
LEGO Batmobile: The Penguin Chase (The Batman)
Chasing Down The Penguin
Number of Pieces 392 Age Recommendation 8+ Figures Included Batman, The Penguin Brand The BatmanPenguin is a major antagonist that Batman has to take down in 2022's The Batman movie. One attempt to bring the villain down involves chasing him around the streets of Gotham in the Batmobile. This is what this brilliant Lego set is based on.
Pros & Cons- The car looks a lot like the one from the movie
- Fires missiles
- The blue flames don't look too great
The car chase between Batman and Penguin in the 2022 movie is a thrilling sequence, so it's nice to see Lego celebrate the scene with this product. Yet, it's a bit different from the movie because Penguin doesn't get a vehicle in this set.
In fairness, his car from the film is pretty nondescript, anyway. They included the Batmobile, which is the important part. The manufacturers did an excellent job making a Lego version of the movie car, as they often do with their top car sets. The two well-designed mini-figs are the cherries on top.
LEGO Batcave - Shadow Box
Your Very Own Batcave
Number of Pieces 3,981 Age Recommendation 18+ Figures Included Batman x2, Max Shreck, The Penguin, Catwoman, Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce Wayne Brand BatmanHave you ever wanted your very own Batcave?

Pros & Cons- Great set of mini-figures
- Interesting build
- Contains many interactive elements
- Very, very expensive
Even heroes need cool safehouses, and none of them have ever been cooler than the Batcave. When it comes to Lego, no Batcave is better than this set. On the outside, it's an impressive box with a Bat symbol on the front that serves as a window to allow you to peek inside.
What you see is just part of an incredibly detailed Batcave that will take you some time to build. The whole thing is brilliantly designed and visually stunning. This is why it's so expensive.
