LEGO took advantage of Gamescom 2025, currently taking place in Cologne, Germany, to announce the LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight video game, and the manufacturer logically went all out with a stand dedicated to this game, planned for 2026.

Visitors can try out the game, enjoy the decorations with giant minifigures and a life-size Batmobile, and get a small souvenir of their visit to the stand.

Let's not get carried away, no collector's set or exclusive minifig, we know that LEGO has really calmed down on this subject in recent years, those who have spent two hours in the queue to enjoy the proposed animation simply leave with the pretty "collector's" bag that you can discover below. It's always better than nothing.

If you like LEGO video games, you'll be able to reunite with Batman in 2026 in the LEGO Batman: The Dark Knight Rises video game.

Warner Bros. Games states that "This open-world action-adventure game immerses you in Bruce Wayne's epic journey to become Gotham City's legendary hero. Inspired by decades of Batman movies, TV shows, comics, and games, this title is packed with nostalgic nods, must-see references to the DC universe, and TT Games' signature LEGO humor for an experience that's as spectacular as it is enjoyable.". An entire program.

The LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight game will feature seven playable characters: Batman, Jim Gordon, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, Catwoman, and Talia al Ghul. Each character will be equipped with unique abilities, combos, and gadgets. Players will face off against Gotham City's most notorious DC Super Villains, including The Joker, The Penguin, Poison Ivy, Ra's al Ghul, Bane, and many more. We're guaranteed an open-world Gotham City to explore, with puzzles to solve, challenges to overcome, rewards to collect, crimes to fight, and surprises to discover around every corner.

A two-player local co-op mode will be available only. Online co-op will not be available. There will be no microtransactions or consumable purchases in the game.

The game, developed by publisher TT Games, which we haven't seen at the helm of a LEGO product since 2022, will be available on Nintendo Switch 2, PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

Onward to the very large batch of new LEGO products traditionally launched in August of each year, with numerous ranges represented in 2025 and the highly anticipated release of officially licensed ONE PIECE sets.

As usual, it's up to you to decide whether to jump right in and pay the full price for these sets or whether to be a little patient and wait for the inevitable discounts that will be offered in the weeks and months to come. at Amazon, on FNAC.com, at Cdiscount, at Auchan as well as some other retailers.

Spoiler: this is already the case for many references at Amazon (see below).

76300 BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM ON THE LEGO SHOP >>

Today we are quickly interested in the content of the LEGO DC set 76304 Batman Forever Batmobile, a box of 909 pieces which is currently available for pre-order at the public price of €99,99 on the official online store as well as on Amazon and which will be available from August 1, 2025.

The vehicle in question here is undoubtedly a little less well-known than the version in Tim Burton's film or that of The Dark Knight trilogy, but it is a Batmobile seen on screen in the film Batman Forever released in theaters in 1995 with a choice cast: the late Val Kilmer who succeeded Michael Keaton in the title role, Jim Carrey in the role of the Riddler, Tommy Lee Jones in the Harvey Dent costume and Nicole Kidman and Chris O'Donnel.

This Batmobile no longer has the usual look of the one seen in the first two parts of the saga (Batman, Batman Returns) and which was immortalized in 2019 by LEGO in the set 76139 1989 Batmobile and the vehicle's decidedly futuristic look may leave some fans doubtful. The challenge was indeed significant for LEGO, with numerous details to reproduce and a very original appearance with numerous curves.

I think we can generally consider that LEGO is doing quite well on this issue, we immediately recognize the Batmobile from the 1995 film, the main attributes of the vehicle are present and correctly interpreted and the proportions of the whole are more or less respected with the arrival of a model of 41 cm long by 12 cm wide and 17 cm high. For those who are wondering, this Batmobile is obviously not on a minifig scale.

As is often the case, everything starts with a chassis made from elements from the LEGO Technic ecosystem, onto which the various body sections are then attached. LEGO has made things considerably easier for the nose of this Batmobile by offering a pad-printed element that struggles to connect with the rest of the bodywork; it loses visual continuity with the patterns on the front hood, and the whole thing looks a bit messy as it is.

On the rim side, the central logo doesn't rotate in the film; only the outer gray section rotates when the vehicle moves. It's impossible to reproduce this effect here with LEGO's choice of parts, but the pad printing of the four rims is successful.

At the rear, the gray reactor is well executed but it's a bit dull, lacking the metallic effect seen on screen. LEGO lighting manufacturers should quickly get on board and offer a kit to highlight the blue undercoat of the structure to achieve an effect identical to that seen in the film.

Some might find the three fins placed at the rear a bit too chunky, but I prefer a fully brick-based solution to a few lazy meta-parts, especially on a display product like this.

No steering or other steerable wheels like in the movie, it's a bare minimum in terms of integrated features. Even the cockpit canopy isn't attached to the structure; it's a separate unit that can be simply removed to admire the vehicle's interior.

So, what we end up with is a pure exhibition model, and LEGO has done us a favor by avoiding stickers on the exterior of this Batmobile. The only two required stickers are in the cockpit, and everything else is pad-printed.

Once again, we noticed that many of the black parts were a little scratched upon unpacking, which is a shame for a display product that gets heavy use. The windshield, for its part, was delivered in a separate paper bag, so it arrived in perfect condition, which is appreciated.

This 900-piece Batmobile is quickly assembled, with some logically somewhat repetitive sequences and a few slightly fragile areas, with some subassemblies only holding in place on one or two studs. This is particularly the case for the side sections, which are spaced and placed diagonally.

It's almost surprising that LEGO doesn't provide a small presentation plate here, as is increasingly common with exhibition products, even if these aren't models with several thousand pieces. The LEGO DC set 76274 Batman with the Batmobile vs. Harley Quinn and Mr. Freeze (435 pieces - €59,99) benefits for example from a small plate fixed to the vehicle support.

Here we have to be content with a simple support which allows the owner of the vehicle to be exposed with a small Tile pad-printed that specifies the context of the product. It's a bit basic, there was probably room for improvement.

The Batman figure included in this box allows us to obtain the version from the 1995 film with Val Kilmer in the costume of the Gotham City vigilante. This is the Sonar Batsuit, a secondary outfit used by Batman following the destruction of the Batcave by the Riddler (the Riddler) and the pad printing seems to me rather faithful to the outfit seen on screen.

Too bad for the lack of details on the arms and legs of the figurine, the outfit seems a little incomplete here as it is. On the other hand, we get a rigid cape and this is once again very good news with a sexier result than with the usual pieces of cloth. On the other hand, we have to deal with the usual injection point still as unsightly as ever at the back of the character's mask.

The subject matter was complex, the result isn't perfect, but this Batmobile deserved to join our collections, which include too many Tumblers and more classic Batmobiles. This vehicle remains iconic for a whole generation, and even if the Batman Forever movie isn't at the top of the list for many fans, I'm personally very happy to see LEGO offering us a version of it.

As is often the case, we will wait until this box is available elsewhere for a little less than at LEGO or we will at least take advantage of an interesting promotional operation on the official online store to justify paying for this set at its public price.
