It is what Technic offers as a creative medium that really elevates the potential quality and all-round experience of 42127 The Batman – Batmobile, far above the other sets planned for The Batman and towards any number of the wonderful vehicles Technic has created and built in recent months and years. Theme: LEGO Technic Set name: 42127 The Batman – Batmobile Release: (US), (UK) Where there’s no hope (nor much point) in adapting The Batman into a trio of sets like 76179 Batman & Selina Kyle Motorcycle Pursuit, 76181 Batmobile: The Penguin Chase and 75183 Batcave: The Riddler Face-off that are all age-recommended between 6+ and 8+, 42127 The Batman – Batmobile sits in the more complex stylings of Technic, and that makes it much better than it could otherwise have been. However, that it is a Technic set is seemingly 42127 The Batman – Batmobile’s saving grace, and indeed that of the entire mini-wave of releases. Yet translating this into LEGO form has seemingly made for a trio of the most bafflingly boring and simplistic sets, and a Technic set that at first glance looks more like a second Fast & Furious release for the theme than a first-ever Batmobile. It’s another new creative aesthetic for Batman following on from Christopher Nolan’s work and that of Tim Burton and the 1960s television show before it.
That is for many reasons, including the creative direction being taken that – judging by what has been communicated in interviews and glimpsed at in the trailers so far – hints towards a detective noir-style of visuals and story, perhaps even more grounded in (an alternate) reality than that of the Dark Knight trilogy.
