Lego Batman is a theme of Lego building sets based on the comics, films, and cartoons featuring the DC Comics superhero, Batman.
Currently into its third wave, the sets feature vehicles, characters and scenes based on their standard accepted appearances in the comics. Many characters, such as Nightwing, Robin, and Alfred have made their appearances in the sets so far, the villains are usually paired with vehicles such as Joker's helicopter and ice-cream truck, the Penguin's submarine, Scarecrow's biplane, Two-Face's Truck, Killer Croc's speedboat, Catwoman's Motorcycle, Harley Quinn's Monster Truck, and Mr. Freeze's Freezer Car.
The inspirations for the various versions of vehicles and characters vary widely. For example, the Batmobile retains its basic sleek shape and prominent fins from the Tim Burton films. The Tumbler as seen in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight made its lego debut this year to tie into the release of The Dark Knight. The Batboat is more of a hovercraft, and the Batwing looks very similar to the version in the 1989 Batman movie, albeit without decorative lights. The "Bat-tank" seems to be based on the tank-like Batmobile in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns.
