LEGO DC Batman Returns Batmobile (76355) revealed

🦇 The Tim Burton Batmobile gets a second LEGO life

LEGO has revealed the DC Comics Super Heroes Batman Returns Batmobile (76355), a 2,269-piece recreation of the car from Tim Burton’s 1992 film. LEGO Insiders get early access September 1-3, with the general release landing September 4, 2026.

Why this matters for dads

This is LEGO’s second take on the Burton-era Batmobile design (the first, 76139, has been off shelves for years), and the timing lines up with a broader pattern this site has already tracked: DC’s licensed vehicle line has quietly become one of the deepest sub-collections in the whole catalogue. We ranked the field in our best LEGO Batmobile sets guide, and this new Batman Returns Batmobile (76355) slots in as a strong contender for the display-shelf crowd specifically because of the transformation gimmick — most LEGO Batmobiles are static once built, and a genuine in-hand transformation is a rarer feature than the piece count alone suggests.

The honest budget read: $229.99 for 2,269 pieces is squarely mid-pack for an 18+ display vehicle — not the most expensive Batmobile LEGO has made, but not a casual impulse buy either. If you’re already collecting the Batmobile line (we compared it against the Classic TV Series Batmobile and the The Batman Batmobile in our reviews), this is the one built around a functional party trick rather than pure static detail — worth factoring into which one you build first.

What’s next

We’ll build the transformation ourselves once bricks are in hand to see how sturdy the Batmissile conversion actually is in practice — a moving gimmick is only as good as how many times it survives being shown off. Full review to follow after the September 4 release.

When does the LEGO Batman Returns Batmobile (76355) release?

LEGO Insiders get early access from September 1-3, 2026, with general release on September 4, 2026.

How much does the LEGO Batman Returns Batmobile cost and how many pieces does it have?

It’s priced at $229.99 / £189.99 / €209.99 for 2,269 pieces, and it’s rated 18+ as part of LEGO’s adult DC Comics Super Heroes display line.

Does the LEGO Batman Returns Batmobile actually transform into the Batmissile?

Yes — the build’s signature function is converting the car into the rocket-like Batmissile configuration from the 1992 film, matching the on-screen transformation.
