Thescreescore – LEGO has officially pulled back the curtain on an electrifying trio of new Batman sets slated for release in 2027, promising to delight both seasoned collectors and casual fans. Among the highly anticipated reveals are a striking wall art piece inspired by a legendary Joker comic cover, a detailed rendition of the Batmobile from the acclaimed Batman: Arkham video game series, and a more accessible, yet equally iconic, Batmobile from Batman Returns, complete with the Penguin’s distinctive Duck vehicle.
Leading the charge in this exciting wave is the LEGO DC Batman The Joker Wall Art Comic Cover, a masterful adaptation of Jock’s (Mark Simpson) unforgettable 2011 Detective Comics #880 cover. This 1,849-piece set transcends traditional flat artwork, featuring the Joker’s menacing eyes and facial contours extending outward in a unique 3D relief, with additional intricate details subtly embedded within deeper layers of the construction. Priced at $169.99, this collector-focused item is designed to be a standout piece of DC-themed decor and is currently available for pre-order directly from LEGO.com.
For enthusiasts of the Caped Crusader’s iconic vehicles, LEGO delivers two new Batmobile offerings. The LEGO DC Arkham Batman Batmobile is a sleek, 317-piece recreation of the formidable vehicle seen in the beloved Batman: Arkham game franchise. Retailing at an accessible $29.99, its size and price point are reminiscent of the Batmobile set inspired by Matt Reeves’ The Batman, making it an attractive option for gamers and collectors alike.

Complementing this is the LEGO DC Batman Returns Batmobile & Duck set, a charming 672-piece package priced at $59.99. This set brings together Michael Keaton’s legendary Batmobile and the delightfully absurd Duck vehicle driven by the Penguin in the 1992 cinematic classic. It also includes an essential minifigure of The Penguin, complete with a perfectly sculpted plastic hairpiece that captures the character’s unique look. This new version offers a fantastic alternative to the larger, more premium Batman Returns Batmobile set (2,269 pieces, $229.99) unveiled last month. Despite its smaller scale, this more affordable iteration impressively retains the iconic Batmissile feature, allowing its sides to drop open just like its larger counterpart, a detail sure to thrill fans of the film.
Beyond their physical appeal, these new Batmobile sets offer an exciting digital bonus for gamers. Both the Arkham Batmobile and the Batman Returns Batmobile & Duck sets unlock the coveted Golden Red Brick within LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, introducing a shimmering gold aesthetic for characters and vehicles. Furthermore, the Batman Returns Batmobile & Duck set specifically grants access to a golden Batman Returns Batmobile Batcave Prop, enhancing the in-game experience.

Fans eager for a first look will be thrilled to know that all three sets will be prominently featured at DC’s Booth #4365 during New York Comic Con 2026 later this week. The display will also boast an impressive nine-foot brick replica of the Detective Comics #880 cover, a true testament to LEGO’s artistry. Thescreescore.com will be on location, providing comprehensive coverage, hosting interviews, and reporting from panels throughout the event, so keep a close eye on our socials and dedicated NYCC hub for all the latest updates.
Attendees at the booth who pre-order the Joker Wall Art set will receive an exclusive reprint of Detective Comics #880, featuring a special LEGO-brick-inspired cover. Adding to the excitement, artist Jock himself will be present for a signing session on Thursday, October 8, at 11:00 a.m. ET.
Mark your calendars: all three spectacular sets are scheduled to go on sale starting January 1, 2027, and will be available through LEGO.com, official LEGO Stores, and other major retailers.
