LEGO set 70908, “The Scuttler”, represents Batman’s spider like vehicle from the world of The LEGO Batman Movie. Released in 2017 under Super Heroes DC, within the Batman branch, it contains 775 pieces and a Gotham City character line up.
“The Scuttler” is part of The LEGO Batman Movie range, placed within the Super Heroes DC theme under Batman. The model depicts one of Batman’s action vehicles, using a mechanical spider profile that matches the film’s exaggerated approach to Gotham technology.
The build uses 775 pieces and focuses on a large, articulated vehicle shape. The set includes 6 minifigures: Batman in a black suit with black cape, cowl and utility belt, Barbara Gordon in a SWAT vest, Commissioner James Gordon with a red sash, Dick Grayson in a tuxedo, Poison Ivy with a cloth skirt and The Joker with long coattails and a fang.
This set suits play scenes built around chases, confrontations and rescues, while the unusual vehicle shape also gives it display value. Within the theme, it fits among vehicle focused releases rather than location based builds.
