Set 70916, The Batwing, depicts Batman’s aircraft from the world of The LEGO Batman Movie. Released in 2017 under Super Heroes DC, within Batman, it contains 1053 pieces and a line-up of 3 minifigures.

The Batwing sits in the The LEGO Batman Movie branch of the Super Heroes DC theme, under the Batman category. The subject is Batman’s aircraft, a vehicle closely suited to action scenes and to the stylised Gotham City setting used by the film.

The build uses 1053 pieces and focuses on a recognisable aircraft profile that can support play scenes or serve as a display model.

This set is aimed at collectors of The LEGO Batman Movie, fans of superhero vehicles, and builders looking for a more substantial Batman model than a small scene accessory. Within Super Heroes DC, it is best placed as a vehicle focused entry, sitting alongside sets based on locations, character encounters, and other parts of the same film inspired range.
