LEGO set 76181, Batmobile: The Penguin Chase, depicts the Batmobile in a Batman scene involving The Penguin. It belongs to the Super Heroes DC theme, under Batman, was released in 2021, and contains 402 pieces.

Batmobile: The Penguin Chase is part of LEGO Super Heroes DC, specifically the Batman branch. The model focuses on Batman’s car and a chase involving The Penguin. Its subject is therefore a vehicle based conflict from the DC license rather than a broad location or display scene.

Batman is described with a dark bluish gray suit, black cape and cowl, light nougat head, dark bluish gray hips, and black legs. The Penguin is included with standard legs. The build is centered on the Batmobile, with the characters giving the model a clear chase setup.

It can serve as a Batmobile display piece within a Batman collection, while also supporting character based play with the included hero and villain. Within Super Heroes DC, it sits among sets built around a recognizable vehicle and a direct confrontation, rather than those focused on a larger environment.
