LEGO Batman Movie Screen-Accurate Bactcave & Wayne Manor Recreation

[Moneytachi]

Hello everyone. Welcome to my LEGO Batman Movie Screen-Accurate Bactcave & Wayne Manor recreation project. Here, I will show you all of my recreations of the vehicles, buildings and objects from the LEGO Batman Movie. Since it is unlikely Warner Bros., Animal Logic, or LEGO will release instructions for the models used in the movie, I decided to reconstruct all of the vehicles, buildings and objects for everyone to build.

All completed models are available to download here: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Moneytachi

Feel free to add on to this project.

Updates will be posted on this topic.

So far I built most of the vehciles that are already sets like:

Batman (1966) Batmobile: Set 76052

Batman Begins (2005) Tumbler: Set 7888

Batman Dragster: Set 7779

7787 Bat Tank: Set 7787

76012 Batmobile: Set 76012

Bat Dune Buggy: Set 70918

"Bat Hawk": Set 70915

7786 Batcopter: Set 7786

76011 Batcopter: Set 76011

6863 Batwing: Set 6863

Whirly Bat: Set 70914

Bat Jetski: 70907

Bat Kayak: Set 70923

76000 Batboat: Set 76000

"Riptide": Set 70909

I also built the Bat Wolf from The LEGO Batman Movie and built the Batwing from the Lego Movie.

Now I'm building the Batmobile from the LEGO Movie.

Hi @Moneytachi,

Looking forward to seeing some photos of some of these amazing builds.. :-)
Did you build Brickmasta's the Lego Movie Batwing and if so did you modify the wings to add supports?
I purchased his awesome instructions and have collected almost all of the parts, but haven't had a chance yet to start building, but know that I will need to add alot of support for the wings.
Also curious to see how you go with your Lego Movie Batmobile, I love mine and really need to take some photos of it, along with some recent builds from the Lego Movie :-)

[Moneytachi]

Hi @NDLG80, I checked out Brickmasta's Batwing and discovered some areas where I could add support. So, I rebuilt it using the pictures from the movie and the game, making it even more intact. I am half way done building the Batmobile from the LEGO Movie.

That sounds great, look forward to seeing your builds :-)

I made instructions for lego movie batwing (wing part only) https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1IF_ZD4nxkzuXCuDuI2FPOzLJqvbGzSlm

[Moneytachi]

I'm finished building the LEGO Movie Batmobile. I will soon uploaded the LEGO Movie Batmobile to my Bricksafe page. Please note a lot of the pieces are floating or colliding. If you use Lego Digital Designer, turn on developer mode, or you can import it into other building software such as Studio 2.0.

Yes, I finally found the person who made the bat train. Here’s a picture of it’s original design before becoming one of batman’s collection:

No, but you can find it on my Bricksafe page here. The main design was the train engine and 2 train cars behind it. The extra things are to show the 1st car in its open position and the interior, and some of the bat vehicles that go on the 2nd car. The 1st car was a mini bat cave, FYI. It had small versions of classic bat cave props and the ‘outer.  From what I can tell, they made some slight modifications to my design. The cow catcher is different. And on the front of the train, what was originally designed as a sort of cannon they made into a bat signal light instead. Also note, the main design restriction was that if it could be built in LDD it was allowed. Which, as you know, it doesn’t mean it would be necessarily practical in real life. For example, I could use hinge plates and set them at a specific angle and in LDD they would stay fixed, but in real life, they would of course hinge and move and not stay fixed. Animal Logic, the studio that made the movie, didn’t;t really care about it being a legit real life build. As long as LDD allowed it, it was fine. So there are probably some bits that won't work in real life. Feel free to modify as needed to make it work.

Hey everyone! After putting together the Batmobile from The Lego Batman Movie, I started researching other Bat vehicles and found a bunch of cool models. Huge thanks to Brent Waller for showing me more Bat vehicles—I discovered a lot thanks to his help. However, he didn’t build any air vehicles, so I’m still on the lookout for those! I’ll be posting soon about the other vehicles I’ll start building and sharing them on my Bricksave page. If anyone comes across anything else that could help, like Batcave concept designs, additional Bat builds, or locations for the Batcave, I’d love to see it. And if you have any leads on air vehicles, please share!

Fantastic. Now I know what this contraption actually looks like. Before I believed it to be impossible.

Back in my time I wanted to recreate the vehicles by guessing their design from screenshot examination. I made a lot of screenshots, but recently deleted them, since I had no such plans anymore for a very long time. Most of the aircraft can be seen attacking the heroes during the climax; some of them were official sets (like the 7786 and 76011 Batcopters); one of the two large cargo planes is a Bat-variation of the aircraft seen in the opening sequence; the Lego movie Batwing can also be seen.

Edit: I guess you knew everything of that already... My bad

Hey there, I wanted to tell you that I found the person who built one of the cargo planes that can be found in the Batcave from the LEGO Batman movie. This person rebuilt it in real life after the movie was released. I have to make some changes to certain areas of the plane when I recreate it. Here’s an image of it before I make it part of Batman’s collections:

However, for the other cargo plane, I only have two options: one is to try to find the person who built it, or two, to build it from scratch using the movie as a reference.

Thank you very much! This cargo plane is awesome, and indeed, it's the one from the movie (though in the movie it had a V-tail, a sillier nose, and the refueling rod was located on the nose rather than above the cockpit). As of the other one, it seemingly had a nonexistent windshield part (which doesn't make it less magnificent). And yes, as almost all TLBM vehicles, it's much bigger on the inside (for better interior detail)

Great work on the train! 

Brent waller has them on he's Twitter account,  the bat navy ship with the planes would have been special. and the boats he did were cool.

I'm still dirty that we never got the lego movie Batmobile,  Batwing and that lego movie 2 never introduced any new bat vehicles,  we knew about one of them been released,  it was nearly done as a set but cancelled last minute.

I'm still hopeful that one day Lego will release a book or set where you can  build 10 to 20 different bat vehicles.

right now the only fix is the Batman Lego megazines with the small builds.

Has anyone here attempted to build this helicopter? I want to build that helicopter but i dont have enough source to build it, can you guys help me?

It's the helicopter that dropped Batman (disguised as the Mayor) at the power plant in the beginning. I suggest using screenshots of that scene for more information. Reducing the speed of the video helps a lot

One of the most elusive GCPD vehicles from TLBM is, in fact, the VTOL aircraft flown by Barbara Gordon in her promotional video

BTW, it's not entirely true. It introduced a Bat-themed 2007 Lego Creator 4953, seen in the very screenshot on your profile picture, but I guess that doesn't count, since it cannot fit any minifigure...

[Moneytachi]

Hey everyone! I’ve been slowly building some Bat vehicles, like the Bat-sub, as an example. If anyone wants me to post all my recent Bat vehicle builds, please let me know.

Hey @Max_Lego, if you find any more LEGO sets, especially non-Batman air vehicles that have been turned into Batman vehicles (like the Bat-plane you just mentioned), I would really appreciate it!

Of course we (at least, I) do! Isn't it the entire point - to show your progress? I am very curious now!

Thanks! I will try...

Speaking of non-Batman sets turned into Bat-vehicles, I just noticed a heavily modified jet plane from the Agents 8630 set. It's almost impossible to recognise. It's seen on the left in the 'Bruce Wayne lives in Batman's attic' scene. The Bat-Ekranoplane seen on the right, while hardly based on any set, is very interrsting

Here's the picture 

[Lego Nostalgia]

The Bat Dump-Truck anyone ?

Just think of any vehicle you can and make it Bat-Based, that'll fix it

I was going to say Bat-Golf Cart, but sadly I feel like that exists already xD

[GLAP23]

Hello, I'm back.

So there are some other Bat vehicles that are modified versions of real sets. The Bat Pirate Ship is based on set 6243 Brickbeard's Bounty, the Bat Space Shuttle is based on 60080 Spaceport. In the case of the Bat Space Shuttle, I am surprised on how different the set looks compared to the movie.

There is another Bat Boat which is based on 4402 Sea Riders which I took the time to reconstruct.

Sorry @Moneytachi, there hasn't really been progress on the Javelin. It is such a complicated build. The areas I've worked one so far were from the model ripped from the Lego Movie 2 video game. It may require more improvising as to how this thing is built than thought.

As for you posting the recent progress of the Bat-themed vehicles, go for it. I want to see what you've been cooking up lately.

@FarQuaad_bricks You're in luck! The helicopter model is in the Lego Dimensions Lego Batman Movie DLC. I already ripped the model. The only thing now is for me to reverse-engineer it and release the LXF.

Edited October 25, 2024 by GLAP23

[Moneytachi]

Hi @GLAP23, thank you for coming back! No need to worry about reconstructing the Bat vehicles. Brent Waller is slowly sending me pictures of each one, so I can use those to build my own, except for the ones that can fly. I’m still researching and looking for similar vehicles that appeared in the movie.
 

Please take your time building the Javelin no worries!

Hey @GLAP23, if I'm not mistaken, the police helicopter from @FarQuaad_bricks's image was modified into one of Batman's cool flying vehicles. You could try making this helicopter one of Batman's vehicles, and maybe even create the Bat Train. I have the LXF file of it before it was "Bat-ified" at https://bricksafe.com/pages/Moneytachi/.
