LEGO just officially pulled back the curtain on three brand-new DC Batman sets slated to hit store shelves in January 2027. While Gotham City fans are always eager for fresh builds, this upcoming wave offers a solid mix of display pieces, classic cinematic nostalgia, and video game-inspired gear.
Let’s take a close look at the specs for all three releases, including piece counts, price points, and what makes each build stand out.
Batman Returns Batmobile & Duck (67008)
- Piece Count: 672 pieces
- Price: $59.99
- Release Window: January 2027
Tim Burton’s 1992 classic Batman Returns gets some much-needed love in this 672-piece set. The centerpiece is the iconic Batmobile, but the real star here might actually be Danny DeVito’s Penguin riding his infamous Duck-mobile.
The set includes two minifigures: Batman and The Penguin (complete with his umbrella accessory). The Duck-mobile features poseable wings and a movable head, giving you plenty of options for setting up a high-speed Gotham sewer chase on your shelf. LEGO also built in digital functionality via the LEGO Builder app; scanning the QR code in the instructions unlocks a golden version of the Batman Returns Batmobile as a Batcave prop in the LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight video game.
Arkham Batman Batmobile (67009)
- Piece Count: 317 pieces
- Price: $29.99
- Release Window: January 2027
If you prefer the heavy-armored aesthetic of Rocksteady’s Arkham video game trilogy, this budget-friendly set hits the mark. Coming in at 317 pieces for $29.99, it gives us a compact yet aggressive take on the Arkham-era Batmobile.
The vehicle includes working suspension to handle rough terrain during play or posing, along with an opening cockpit that fits the included Batman minifigure. At under $30, it looks like a great entry point for fans who want a quick build without taking up massive shelf real estate.
The Joker Wall Art Comic Cover (67012)
Currently available to pre-order at LEGO.com.
- Piece Count: 1,849 pieces
- Price: $169.99
- Availability: Pre-orders available now
The flagship item of this reveal is an 18+ wall display based on Jock’s legendary cover for Detective Comics #880 (2011). Clocking in at 1,849 pieces, this intricate 3D brick portrait captures The Joker’s unhinged smile crafted out of subtle thematic details.
As you assemble the multi-layered design, you will build hidden elements directly into the Clown Prince of Crime’s face, including tiny Batarangs, swords, flowers, and brick-built “Ha, ha, ha” lettering. It is priced at $169.99 and geared squarely at adult collectors looking for a focal piece in their display room. Pre-orders are already live on LEGO’s official site.
