The Lego Batman Movie opens this week, bringing with it a horde of Lego sets based on that wonderfully goofy version of the Dark Knight. Crawling to the top of the pile as only a nocturnal winged mammal could is The Scuttler. Originally published 2/07/2016—Reupped for movie day.The Scuttler is the vehicle that comic book Batman would be tooling around in if he were 100 percent committed to his motif. The Bat-Plane, Bat-Copter, Bat-Jet, Bat-Glider—these all make sense. It’s one of their selling points. As much as I love a good Batmobile, the nitpicky part of my brain (i.e., most of my brain) is bothered by the separation between bats and cars. The two don’t mix very often, and when they do it’s generally pretty messy for the bat. Plus cars aren’t very scary. Christine, maybe, or the truck with the face from Maximum Overdrive, but most cars won’t strike fear into the heart of criminals unless they have a “fear” hood ornament.You know what is scary?Walking or running bats are creepy as hell.
Imagine a giant mechanical one of those coming for you in a dark alley, and you’ll get The Scuttler. Several of the characters on this box are running in the wrong direction. Lego set 70908, The Scuttler, is an $80, 775 piece set consisting of one giant scary crawling bat vehicle and six characters to either pilot it or run screaming. The set comes with a thick instruction booklet and seven bags’ worth of parts. Let me walk you through the build, bag-by-bag. Oddly blurry, these two. The first bag features two of the set’s six minifigures, Will Arnett’s Batman and Michael Cera’s Robin. Before you go thinking that Robin outclasses Robin completely with that powder blue suit jacket and fetching bow tie, check this out: Batman has a jet pack. If I were a billionaire, I would have one too. There’s also quite a bit to build on bag one, getting the core of The Scuttler up and running. No one is scared of Plant Woman. The Scuttler’s second plastic sack wields another crazy pair, the oddly-orange James Gordon and Plant Woman, mistress of plants.
She’s so touchy about the name thing.Poison Ivy rolls into the set with her own vine-y ride, sporting some incredibly cool hair complete with flower and scattered leaf deco. I love what Lego is doing with hair lately. The building portion of bag two builds on The Scuttler base, adding a hot exhaust section I initially confused with a cockpit, as well as a spiffy net launcher that really works, at least until you lose the net. Toy companies really need to stop packaging The Joker and Barbara Gordon together. One of them always ends up broken. The personalization really brings the whole thing together. By the time bag three is empty, The Scuttler will have half of one front leg. It’s pretty much all legs from here on out. Did not miss leg day. The smallish bag four finishes off the front upper legs, which you will swear are the rear legs until much later in the build. Note the gear there. Technically the exhaust port is The Scuttler’s butt. Ah, here are those hind legs we were looking for.
Small, stunted and pistoned, ready to provide a little extra push to the creeping and crawling. They go all the way up. Those front legs we built earlier were only half the battle, the other being a pair of long, extendable clawed appendages. Just like real bats, they feature dual missile launchers. Bag six completes one leg, with the last coming together in . . . With all the legs in place, it’s time for the most adorable bat cockpit ever. It has moving ears. Because this is Lego Batman, and they are completely necessary. What a magnificent beast. The end result is a powerful tool for Lego superhero justice, ready to skitter out of the shadows and sink its slender fangs (it does not have fangs) into crime. Check out the video atop the post for a closer look at The Scuttler and The Lego Batman Movie characters who should fear it.Now that I have assembled the best of the best, I’m ready to go see The Lego Batman Movie this weekend, after which I will doubtlessly find myself at a toy store picking up the rest.
I am weak, but happy.Whether you’re a Batman fan, a LEGO fan, or a LEGO Batman fan, this is pretty cool. Toys “R” Us is hosting it’s very own “The LEGO Batman Movie” building event on Saturday, Feb. 11, just a day after the movie debuts in tehaters. Your kids (or you, no judgment) can build their own batty version of Chris Pratt’s eternally optimistic main character Emmet’s car from “The LEGO Movie,” and take it home (a look at the final product below). To paraphrase a certain song, everything is awesome… when you get LEGOs for free. The Batman building session takes place from 1 p.m. to 3 pm at participating Toys “R” Us stores, limit one per customer and minifigure not included (more details here). The flyer also teases an “Arkham Asylum Breakout hunt.” Here’s hoping that involves the newly released and expansive Arkham Asylum set from the “LEGO Batman Movie” line. “The LEGO Batman Movie,” much like it’s predecessor “The LEGO Movie,” is perfectly primed for merchandising.
The new LEGO sets released ahead of the film have joyously blended elements from different Batman films, shows and comics. LEGO has even made impressive “trailers” for a few of their sets, like this one for The Joker’s “Notorious Lowrider.” Directed by Chris McKay and starring Will Arnett as Batman, Michael Cera as Robin, Ralph Fiennes as Alfred, Rosario Dawson as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl and Zach Galifanakis as the Joker, “The LEGO Batman Movie” arrives in theaters on Feb. 10.
