Even outside of the LEGOverse, Batman tends to have all of the best toys. However, the LEGO Batmobile from the highly anticipated The LEGO Batman Movie may prove to be the greatest toy of them all. Chevrolet has teamed up with students from Detroit’s Cody Rouge community, A World in Motion, and First LEGO League to recreate the new LEGO Batmobile in real life! Via ComingSoon, the life-sized LEGO Batmobile was unveiled at the at the North American International Auto Show, and it is a staggering 17-feet long, just under 6.92 feet tall and 9.25 feet wide creation that took 344,187 LEGO bricks to build and over 1,833 hours to complete. The LEGO Batmobile does have an interior frame that is made of square tube aluminum, so it’s not completely LEGO. But it is still very impressive. Chevy released several photos of the completed LEGO Batmobile, and the attention to detail was also particularly striking. The wheels alone are reportedly 100 pounds each, and the entire vehicle is said to weigh 1,695.5 pounds.
You can see more of the photos in our gallery below. Within the film itself, LEGO Batman calls this car “The Speedwagon,” and he takes particular pride in its tricked out abilities to take down villains of all sizes. Chevy even parodied itself while teasing LEGO Batman’s pride in the newest commercial in the company’s “Real People, Not Actors” ad campaign. And let’s just say that LEGO Batman quickly regretted sitting in on his own focus group. What did you think about the life-sized LEGO Batmobile?

Find More LEGO Video Games The new 1869-piece Lego Tumbler Batmobile is a $199 masterpiece 07.23.2014 :: 3:45PM EST RyanWhitwam Filmmaker Christopher Nolan breathed new life into the Batman franchise with the 2005 hit Batman Begins. In his debut as the Dark Knight (and for two sequels), Christian Bale rode around in an awesome new Batmobile nicknamed the Tumbler. The design of the car was fantastic, but only now is there a truly epic Lego version of the Tumbler. The new Ultimate Collector’s Series Batman Tumbler is a magnificent 1,869-piece set that you’ll be able to buy in a few weeks, but it’s going to cost you. This is the second Batmobile to be immortalized in Lego’s Ultimate Series bricks, the previous one being the Batman Returns version (set 7784), but it was only 1000 pieces.
The Tumbler set has nearly double the pieces for an amazing amount of detail. The top wings are adjustable, the tires are real rubber with dual axles, and there are even little view screens all over the interior to complete the illusion. When assembled, the Tumbler will be five inches tall and 15 inches long. It’s even cooler than some of the great fan-made versions. The set is going to go on sale September 1st for a whopping $199. That might sounds like a lot, and in the grand scheme it is for a pile of blocks, but these big Lego sets usually cost a few hundred dollars. Well, it also comes with a limited edition Batman and Joker (Heath Ledger version) minfigs, if that makes you feel better about the price. Lego has become a pretty big deal in recent years as the company has increasingly relied on licensing characters from content owners to make sets for Star Wars, Batman, and other franchises. Ultimate Series set like this one often skyrocket in value after they are discontinued.
