2024 is seeing celebrations for 85 years since Batman was introduced to the world. LEGO, for its part, is choosing to mark the occasion with a set based on Batman: the Animated Series (which, coincidentally, also has 85 episodes). Made up of 4,210 pieces, 76271 Gotham City Skyline depicts a 3D backdrop of Bruce Wayne’s hometown in a similar vein to LEGO’s Art series. Gotham Cty’s art-deco buildings are recreated in the brick alongside references to moments in the 1990s TV show. Four minifigures are also included: villains Harley Quinn and the Joker; some-time antagonist Catwoman; and, naturally, Batman himself. Retailing for US $299.99 | CAN $389.99 | UK £259.99, 76271 Gotham City Skyline will be available from April 1st for LEGO Insiders, with general sale starting from April 4th.
