Batman Fans Can Soon Build Gotham City's Skyline With 4,200 Lego Pieces

There's no city like Gotham City, Batman's stomping grounds for foiling colorful supervillains, and a massive upcoming Lego set will artfully capture the essence of that iconic location. Specifically, this is a Lego Batman set adapted from Batman: The Animated Series, the cult-classic '90s series that took the world by storm when it first debuted. Arriving on April 1 for Lego Insiders before its general release on April 4, this is a gorgeous recreation of Gotham City priced at $300.

A 4,210-piece buildable backdrop, this set is designed to add some Art Deco flair to your home. It has 15 panels that can be removed to reveal the inside of Wayne Manor, the Batcave, and Arkham Asylum, and it comes with four minifigures of Batman, the Joker, Harley Quinn, and Catwoman in their animated series incarnations. There's also a mini-Batmobile and a mini-Batwing included with this set, and if you're not ready to mount it on your wall, you can display it safely on a surface using a flip-out stand.

Once assembled, this piece will measure 16.1 inches (41cm) tall, 30 inches (76cm) wide, and 2.3 inches (6cm) deep, so you're going to want to make certain you have ample room to show it off when you're done.

If you want to build a Batman Lego set while you wait, this Lego Store-exclusive Batcave diorama hailing from the 1992 movie Batman Returns is very cool, too. It's thicker but packed full of bat-details like a command chair, computer screens, and even a Batsuit vault. It's a display piece that folds up neatly when you're not playing with it, although it is pricier at $400.
