Lego Batman is a great gift for Christmas. Lego continues to be one of the best popular toys in the world, due to both the massive selection of the various sets available, and its dedication to maintaining legendary elements whilst still maintaining the wants of a modern childhood. In recent years Lego has now begun to branch out into film and comic spin-off line, and one of the most popular has been its line of Lego Batman sets.

Batman has for a while been one of the most well liked comic characters in the world, and the characters and models in the Lego Batman line will be known to most folk. Lego Batman brings all your favourite characters from the comics and movies into your home, allowing you to build the vehicles and scenes yourself and make your own Batman adventures.

The massive line of Lego Batman sets available include the Batcave, Arkham Asylum and the Chemical Warehouse, all have working gadgetry which make the sets superb for play even after you’ve completed constructing them. The Batcave has rotating parts, geared mechanisms and many other adjustable features that mean hours of fun. Lots of the sets feature Batman heroes or villains coupled with a vehicle, such as the Penguin and his submarine, the Joker and his helicopter, or Batman and the Batmobile. As with most Lego models, the spinning wheels and other transportable pieces means that building them is barely one part of the entertainment.

As with all Lego sets, most of the appeal of Lego Batman comes from combining assorted characters and sets to create your own scenes. Cars like the Bat-Tank, the Batwing and Robin’s Scuba Jet can appear anywhere with any character inside, and the rocket firing mechanisms of vehicles such as the Tumbler and the Joker’s ice cream van mean that you can make your very own Batman fight scenes.

Lego Batman is perfect for both children who enjoy the Batman animated series, cartoons and films, and for avid fans who are searching for a technique to have even more entertainment from the franchise.
