Fans of “Batman: The Animated Series” will be enthralled by the LEGO set that not only pays homage to the iconic art deco style of the series but also serves as a treasure trove of Easter eggs. At the core of this set is a foundation of red LEGO sheets that set the stage for a Gotham City skyline shrouded in dark red clouds, accentuated by the dramatic highlights of yellow police searchlights and the iconic Bat Signal.
The set is an elaborate collage of towering skyscrapers, dimly lit bars, buzzing nightclubs, and structured office buildings that intertwine to reflect the illustrious and treacherous aura of Gotham City. The depth of this LEGO set extends far beyond its surface with multiple layers that beckon fans to explore every brick, unveiling hidden details and secret references along the way.
Each structure can be dismantled to disclose a hidden Easter egg or another mysterious location lying beneath it. The Batcave serves as a prime example of this feature.
The Stacked Deck bar and the adjacent Wild Deuce club, both of which are significant locations from the series, are prominently featured. Looming above is the estate of Wayne Manor with its distinct bat-like architecture.
However, akin to the secretiveness of the actual Batcave, its LEGO counterpart is ingeniously concealed. By removing the Stacked Deck, one reveals the hidden Batcave, similar to pulling a book from a shelf to uncover a hidden room.
This Batcave is meticulously crafted to resemble a bat and includes miniature renditions of Robin and Batgirl positioned beside the Batcomputer. The set even features the hefty penny that Two-Face once used as a weapon against Batman, suspended from the ceiling.
No Batcave would be complete without the Batmobile and LEGO delivers with a minuscule yet detailed version, accompanied by a micro-Batwing.
