This set is just jaw-dropping, for fans of the Caped Crusader. LEGO have taken inspiration from the LEGO Art theme, and pumped it full of steroids (like Bane!), to produce a stunning, textured tapestry of the Gotham City skyline.

Just look at the set from the front, and like any great two-page comic spread, is packed with details, upon details for Batman fans to pore over and admire.

Some of Gotham’s most iconic locations such as Gotham City Court, Arkham Asylum, and not to mention the classic Batwing and Bat Signal are here, as well as tons of Easter Eggs to discover.

Let’s see some of the details up-close!

The set comes with 4 minifigures, and fans of Batman: The Animated Series will be delighted to finally get a TAS Batsuit, as well as Catwoman, Harley Quinn and of course, the Clown Prince of Crime, Joker himself.

Oh and yes, this version of Joker absolutely counts as a Mark Hamill minifigure, as he voiced one of the most iconic versions of the Joker!

2024 is shaping up to be a big year for fans who grew up with Batman: The Animated Series, as we’ll likely get updates (or if we’re lucky, episodes!) of Batman: Caped Crusader, the spiritual successor to the beloved series, helmed by Bruce Timm. Unfortunately, it will be without Kevin Conroy (who voiced Batman/Bruce in TAS) as he passed away in 2022.

For an entire generation of men in their 30s, 40s and 50s, we grew up watching Batman: The Animated Series, and LEGO are clearly going hard at this demographic as part of their all-out onslaught on adults.

The LEGO Gotham City Skyline set is absolutely massive, measuring 76cm (30 inches) wide, and 41.6cm (16.3 inches) tall as you can see here in this lifestyle photo supplied by LEGO to provide a sense of scale.

This set is designed to be hung up on a wall, or will likely need a large buffet table to display it, and show off your love of all things Batman.

I just really love the sense of texture that they’ve given Gotham, and how the buildings pop out slightly from the canvas, as well as the dramatic use of colour and contrast to convey that Gotham truly is a living, breathing character in its own right.

76271 Batman Gotham City Skyline won’t come cheap, and the US$299.99 / AU$499.99 / £259.99 will put it out of reach for a lot of people, but you know, I’m glad that a set like this exists.

It’s a refreshing take on a Batman LEGO set that strikes a balance between being something truly iconic, looking so familiar and yet, has never been done before.

It’s a bold move, but at the same time, looking at it, it’s just such a pleasing thing to look at aesthetically, and I can see this being a really satisfying build and display model as well, if you have Bruce Wayne levels of budget when it comes to buying LEGO.

76271 Batman Gotham City Skyline will be released on 1 April 2024 for LEGO Insiders, and will be available exclusively from LEGO.com or your local LEGO Store.
