Comparing the LEGO Batman 2023 Batmobiles: Which is Better?

[@oweng395]

Walking backwards down the stairs holding the batcave without breaking eye contact with the camera is crazy. You’re stressing me out here

[@thegamingknight2096]

terrified of the day something in Chris's Brick Bunker falls down

[@jo_nil]

Just build it together again :)

[@scottsbrix]

I have to have my sets on shelves. Idk how Chris trusts whatever he uses to mount his sets to the wall but it gives me anxiety

[@elijahhuffstutler7012]

​@@scottsbrixI saw that massive UCS Millennium Falcon and was in shock that he could hang it up like that and trust that it stays hung up

[@samwell_6977]

I’m more horrified at the thought of having to move then needing to individually pack and unpack all of those sets😭

[@thomasharrington1477]

if I was a collector and I never played with my legos, I'm using Glue. I know it's wrong, but it's the safest way

[@stairmasternem]

I prefer the 8+ standalone. The storage in back is great and the fins being fixed over hinged is more stable. Building techniques are interesting in it. Price is high but that’s par for the course. It’s actually not too bad price per part.

[@keatohenko]

To note: the wings being angled up more is not fancy on the 18+ version. It is inaccurate. If you look at the Tim Burton batmobile, the rear wings do not stand above the height of the roof inlet. The 8+ set did it right by having them sit lower. Not sure why people think the shadowbox batmobile is better because it clearly isn't.

[@CRHarneyIII]

Plus...$29 dollars on Amazon now....much better pricing and I agree on your accuracy comment!

[@TheDarkFuryKnight]

The batmobile is kinda small but mostly too thin, never forget that this batmobile has space for 2 people, we see it in the first movie when he drives Vicki Vaile to the batcave, also looking at it the seats should be black.

[@boatwithwheels]

That's almost all the batmobiles though, p sure the only 2 seaters are The Batman, 1966 and the Tumbler

[@TheDarkFuryKnight]

@@boatwithwheels before writing I looked for the scene I mentioned, so yeah it has 2 seats.

[@siobibble9078]

It’s over the size of two LEGO city cars. If anything it’s oversized

[@bleppyboo]

@@TheDarkFuryKnight No, they mean the only LEGO Batmobiles that have two seats are the ones they listed. 2 Seaters are rare and even with just one it's already oversized compared to regular lego cars (not counting the racing stuff)

[@TheDarkFuryKnight]

@@bleppyboo then why didn't they say lego

[@irarelypost8784]

The caps coming out from the wheels is way more accurate in my opinion comparing it to an old model kit that I have

[@jonathanmarois9009]

One of my favourite _"what would I do if I had too much money"_ channels!!

[@legoben98productions]

I’m not sure but I think the 18+ one is better just because of the bat wings. I wish that they had made it with the 2 seats just like the 89 movie or even have the bat missile from Batman Returns. I have been trying to make a moc of it to where it has the two seats, can split into the bat missile, sliding cockpit and has the machine guns (I’ll probably have the front jet engine as a button to push the guns up rather than having a gear cog on the side)

[@metroid767]

The seats in the batmobile in burton were not tan. You can see it the film several times. They are black seats. Also the wings of the real thing finish off more horizontal like 8+ version. The exhaust intake is more accurate in 8+ version too. The stickered back is more accurate too as the brick detailing of 18+ are too far from eachother. Pretty much everything is more accurate on the 8+. I think you just assumed it was more accurate on the 18+ version cus its the 18+ version. In actuality, the 8+ seems to be a correction of many things.

[@JarrettMusic]

that room looks like heaven fr

[@VAULT-TEC_INC.]

Someday he’s going to break his neck walking down the stairs backwards like that…. 😢

[@worldsheaviestjamband93]

My baller move was buying the 4+ version for my kid at the Lego store and not complaining. I was impressed with myself.

[@CrazyChemistPL]

I think it would've been possible to make the gun pop up function operate by turning the front turbine.

[@jamimurrahman9159]

I actually prefer the hub caps sticking out, I believe that's much more accurate to the original model as they are supposed to represent drop-away bombs

[@DonnaxNL]

Find the difference between these pictures. They are the same picture.

[@dispassionateobserver]

I'm bummed that they just gave the Joker plain purple legs and didn't go with the checkered detail legs that came with the UCS 1989 Batmobile. I love the new green hair piece that was included for Joker but overall I think lego is phoning it in with the Minifigs in these 1989 and 1992 Batman sets.

[@danielversion1.035]

Having recently gotten back into lego as an [ahem] mature adult... (lol... it's all my nephews' fault...) it just feels like such a gift from Lego that they're releasing these minifigure scale sets of what were tried to build ourselves as kids.... back when Tim Burton Batman was the CURRENT batman! What a time to be alive... with expendable income 👌 Now if they can turn their attention to TMNT next...

[@Batmobileize]

Lego did make sets for the 2012 cartoon, but I'm guessing you're referring to the 80s cartoon?

[@danielversion1.035]

@@Batmobileize they did? That's awesome. 😄 But yeah, I'd love to see the 80's cartoon version too 😁👍

[@Ace_of_Horns]

Now to take them apart and combine the best elements of both in a comprehensive rebuild

[@janekmorel]

Wait, the wings are just flopping around on the more expensive version?

[@danielau7365]

I can’t help but feel like the returns batmobile (in real life) is just an enhanced version of the 89 version which is reflected in the two models (idk if it’s intentional)

[@elvisbjones]

After a year on market Walmart was selling it for under 40 almost $10 cheaper. I got the Batmobile set for under 30 at a second hand Lego store earlier this year

[@hellboyrp6115]

Im surprised they didn't use that double wide base plate that they used on the Batmobiles from The Batman and Batman 66

[@T0MistheBLADE2]

This guy is the Lego master

[@jamesrees8070]

to me the changes seem like a tradeoff between playability vs display. The wings on the back are more accurate on the 18+ one but they aren't fixed in place, and the same goes for the side vents, while the 8+ version has less accurate shapes for the sake of being more rugged for play because, y'know, it's for kids, not collectors

[@rodogg73]

Can the play BM fit in the shadow box?

[@Bat-talk]

I got the 1989 (2019)gift version and the loose august 2023 edition.. both are amazing but Yeaa $48 for the new one is crazy.. I didn’t mind it but should’ve included a plaque or maybe a joker goon .. maybe a part of the museum exterior ? Idk Or Vicky remake I’m hoping they make more sets like this with BATMAN FOREVER and BATMAN & robin

[@ArcWolf713]

Thank you. I have the Batcave shadow box and was wondering if it was effectively the same vehicle as the stand alone set. I think some of the features are cool, the pop out guns especially since those aren't on the GWP. I think the hinge for the wing flairs was a very cool detail, added to the completeness of the visual design, but it doesn't make for good playing as they flip up fairly easily. Thanks for the comparison.

[@incognigo1670]

I prefer the shadow box Version, the proportions are slightly more accurate and I like the wheels more

[@HegeRoberto]

1 thing that's for sure is a problem is that the real batmobile is the same width end and front, where this build's front never gets as wide as the rear. If I ever build a moc, I will definetly make the front 10 stud wide too, or make the rear 8 stud wide

[@DanielOrteez]

It would've been perfect if the cockpit fit two minifigures like it does in the movie AND that it was able to split apart into that bobsled thing from Batman Returns.

[@Liberty-or-Death-1776]

The new Batman vs Joker Batwing set is a much better value. And quite honestly, displaying that Batwing on the wall against a decal of the Moon is the ultimate Batdisplay.

[@kuma477]

The side vents are more accurate to the bat cave one as it’s got to be a display piece but personally the standalone car vents have a nice vintage feel to it and looks better, hell I wouldn’t even complain if the movie version looked like that too

[@kyanitex2587]

I like the bat cave more ! Its just cleaner to me

[@joeymesa4952]

If you have the shadowbox set there is no reason to get the 76224 batmobile. What i did with mine was replaced the front wheels with the ones with the gwp and replaced the rear axle and changed out 4 elements and the rear tires for the ones with gwp batmobile. With 2 extra elements for both sides of the wings i was able to build them the same as 76224 and changed out the rear gray cone for a black one and am happy with how it looks now

[@jonathanmarois9009]

12:33 I thought those represented the bomb dropping mechanism at first... like in the '89 movie scene

[@jamielannoo4250]

I would’ve liked to see the comparison. also include the gift with purchase from a few years back.

[@icemav5740]

Maybe the differences it to account for any changes made between Batman 89 and Batman Returns, though I don’t recall noticing any differences in the films

[@planetdee3587]

I just purchased this on Ebay for about $30. I agree it is over priced, but I would also never spend $400 on the Batcave. I also went on Ebay and got the "The Batman" Batcave of 2022 for $60 as my Batcave because it is affordable.

[@nategreene2661]

dude ur basement is fucking nuts i love it

[@owene2530]

3:20 the thing is exceptionally heavy for its size, kind of makes the price fairer, especially knowing it's 438 pieces. At worst it's ~5 dollars overpriced. No idea why you're saying it's "really overpriced" that's pretty close to 10c/piece which is their baseline

[@salrizzo3016]

I have the 48.00 one, think the set one looks better Silhouette looks much accurate.

[@joshvera6375]

Your room is awesome

[@anthonymuzyczek]

Hello my friend... I have to ask this.... How do you keep all of your models dust free

[@jo_nil]

I think he said in a livestream that the basement doesn't accumulate a lot of dust for some reason.

[@danielversion1.035]

🤣 I was just wondering the same thing! And spiders.... spiders must looooooovve that room 😬😬

[@idonjohnson6999]

Could as well be an 8 stud Speed Champion movie car.

[@fearangel014]

I don't trust myself walking into his room... I'm sure I'm gonna tip something over. 😅😂

[@LandSharkCorner]

Honestly I'm getting the 8+ one

[@arghjayem]

07:18 There is nothing spinning in the exhaust of the Burton Batmobile. It’s the exhaust of what is meant to be a jet engine within the context of the film, but IRL the prop used the V8 Chevrolet engine from an Impala. The fire you see coming out the back in the film is from several gas nozzles arranged in a circular pattern. There is no spinning, it’s just the movement of the gas flames as the car drives along. 🙄🤔🤷

[@batcarsbricks]

You absolutely do not understand this function of Lego.

[@sidsunder]

Great review dude,

[@HiccupYouTube]

Love your content, man! Keep up the good work!

[@olaman1151]

Hello. Did somebody understand why they did this? Of course they wanted to change the car for the batcave. And it is not about 8+ ore 18+... the set of the batcave is 18 + not the car. Ore is it posible to buy the 18+ small batcar separate??

[@shockwingblitz]

The biggest question that comes to my mind is how does he mount the sets to the wall

[@eddymancha9977]

Great review. On my way to grab a Batmobile now! Badass collection dude! Subscribed!

[@planetdee3587]

If the play scale version comes down to 35 bucks at some point, it will be worth the buy.

[@jonathanmarois9009]

Wish this was also showcased with the _Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham_ 1989 Batmobile too...

[@Bat-talk]

Nobody’s comparing 2019 mini with the new ones lol

[@jamimurrahman9159]

This guy's wall is insane.

[@Ratking47682]

Behold, the anxiety room!

[@jojikyre5470]

i think the 8+ one looks nicer but the cave set mini figure is better

OMG!! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE COLLECTION!! A NERDS WET DREAM! A TRUE BATTOY CAVE❤😮😮😮😮😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@emanuelrivera8048]

Lego learned their lesson when it comes with selling you same sets on expensive sets haha (looking at you Star Wars hoth rebel base LOL)

[@Spyrogamer57]

What you do when a eaearthquake happens better hope all those sets Are glued on that wall

[@marcelodom5562]

Duck bricks puttin in da work per usual 💯

[@allenthemadman]

In either set Lego missed the opportunity to make a Vicki Vale mini figure.

[@coysai]

How did he walk backwards down those stairs without knocking something down??

[@havok2111]

Being that it’s his place, I’m sure he’s walked down those steps before.

[@havok2111]

How do you afford all that LEGO?

[@jim_wufamily]

I like the way you explain all the details. But you have the habit of using the word “actually” too much. It can become annoying a bit.

[@Drayco500]

I love the stand alone bat mobile but i don't think I can justify the price

[@dimitrispinas9074]

its -20% at 40 euros, do you think its worth it at that price?

[@bwetdude]

Lego did the same thing with the classic 1960s Batcave (76052) and the '60s Batmobile (76188)... 🤬"NO WAY I'M BUYING A 400$ BATCAVE!!!", 🤩"Ohhhhh, a standalone Batmobile!!!!" 💸💸💸 Legonomics.

[@micro_movie_moments]

Your LEGO rooms are larger than my house!!!

I was just thinking that it will be difficult when you have to move out of your house.

why does EVERY Batmobile set gotta come with Joker? Batwing as well. There are sooooooo many other villains!!! Throw us a change up at least LEGO if these prices are gonna keep going up! an extra figure or something i dunno

I know your video is 8 months old and I assume this isn't the first comment regarding your background, but I am going to make it anyway. White foam boards with indents and pee yellow stains not to mention no effort to hide the space between your attempt to combine multiple boards to cover your camera angle.....WOW!

This clearly shows a lack of experience, it's an incomprehensible mess of scenes stitched together. I love your essays, but I'm not expecting a lot from this

I understand about having a passionate hobby but some go too far and what it seems is a completely disorganized market. 🤮🤮🤮🤮 those rooms cannot be enjoyed, what they give is stress from so much disorder.
