Batman might be around 80 years of age, but he is still very much in love with the Batmobile featured in the iconic 1989 Batman movie – and LEGO® is fully aware of this fact.
Over many years, DC has featured various versions of Batman's iconic vehicle in movies, toys, and comics. But this version, the LEGO® 1989 Batmobile 76139, is modernized and built to capture exactly what it feels like to sit in Batman's first choice of ride.
This Batman car, created to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the classic 1989 Batman movie, was not just designed to replicate the vehicle. It also includes The Joker (Jack Nicholson), Vicki Vale (Kim Basinger), and Batman (Michael Keaton). These minifigures come with a brick-built stand where they can be displayed.
The Batmobile itself was designed to be displayed on a rotating stand, and it is detailed with realistic features including the wheels, tires, and wraparound windshield. When you set your eyes on the LEGO® 1989 Batmobile 76139 set, you will notice how brilliant it looks. Other features include Batman's cape, a realistic two-seat cockpit, and machine guns hidden just as they are in the film. Although the machine guns do not shoot, they look superb. When the turbine exhaust is twisted, the machine guns pop up automatically from the hood and turn 90 degrees.
If you take your time to observe how the cockpit opens, you will notice it is no different from how it works in the 1989 Batman film.
In short, this Batmobile is a great addition to any collection. After you have built it and want to make it stand out and look more realistic, you can add our LED lights for LEGO®, designed carefully to make your LEGO® 1989 Batmobile 76139 look even more astonishing.
