This week’s DC FanDome is finally set to bring forth some much-awaited updates forThe Batman, however, in the time beingBatmanfans can head over to LEGO’s site to find some brand new blocky and possibly spoilery sets for the movie.
LEGO’s relationship with DC, Marvel,Star Wars,Harry Potter, and practically every major piece of pop culture iconography out there has resulted in not only toy with mass appeal for kids and collectors alike, but also in thingslike theLEGO Batmangames and movie. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before Robert Pattinson and the rest ofThe Batmancast were immortalized in this fashion and the result is simply amazing.

As picked up by Brick Fanatics, LEGO’s official website has four new sets posted to commemorateThe Batman’sreboot, though they won’t be available until June 20, 2025, just three months shy of the film’s premiere in March. Among the highlights in the sets are new figurines of Batman, Alfred, Selina Kyle, Commissioner Gordon, The Penguin,and The Riddler, all included in the “Batcave: The Riddler Face-off” box, which might just be too much of a hint for whatever goes down in the movie.
The other three sets consist of a more detailed standalone version ofThe Batman’snew Batmobile, one called “Batmobile: The Penguin Chase”, and the budget-friendly “Batman™ & Selina Kyle™ Motorcycle Pursuit”. Sadly, none of the Bruce Wayne heads included in these appear to be featuring Pattinson’s now-signature grungy eye shadow look.
The real winner here seems to be the Batcave set, which includes a pretty detailed version of Wayne’s new hideout that, according to LEGO’s description, has a ramp that’s fully compatible with both versions of the Batmobile. Those with a keen eye will probably spot another figurine on that box called The Drifter, which is confirmed to be another form taken by Matt Reeves’ Batmanand not Dick Grayson, contrary to what prior speculation suggested.
The Batmanhas so far created high expectations for fans due to the gritty moody tone given by the first trailer, though its biggest competitor will probably beChristian Bale and Christopher Nolan’s ownBatmanlegacy. TheVenomsequel director Andy Serkis is in the camp of those who believeThe Batmanwill be a masterpiece, so DC FanDome could be yet another interesting showcase for Reeves’ Gotham.
