LEGO’s Arkham Batman Batmobile Brings Rocksteady’s Tank to Your Shelf in 2027

LEGO is finally turning Rocksteady’s tank-like Arkham Batmobile into bricks with the new DC Arkham Batman Batmobile set, scheduled to arrive on January 1, 2027. Set number 67009 is priced at $29.99 in the US (roughly £26.99 / €29.99), keeping it close to the $30 mark and positioning it as an accessible Batmobile kit rather than a premium display monster. The build clocks in at 317 pieces and is aimed at fans aged 9 and up, signaling that LEGO wants younger Batman and Arkham players in on the fun as much as adult collectors. As first highlighted by Bleeding Cool, this is LEGO’s first dedicated set explicitly branded around the Batman: Arkham games rather than the comics or films, a notable milestone for the beloved action franchise.

The Arkham Batman Batmobile channels the chunky, armored design from Batman: Arkham Knight, complete with thick tires and sharp angles that evoke the in-game tank. LEGO’s description calls out functional suspension so the car can tackle “rough terrain,” mirroring how the Batmobile barrels through Gotham’s streets in Rocksteady’s games. Once built, the model measures about 7 cm tall, 16 cm long, and 8 cm wide, landing in that sweet spot where it’s small enough for a desk or shelf but still hefty enough to feel like a real display piece. Design details include a new windscreen element and curved bodywork pieces that help capture the Batmobile’s distinctive Arkham silhouette rather than the sleeker movie or comic versions. The set includes a single Batman minifigure in an Arkham-style armored suit, based directly on his Arkham Knight look, giving minifig collectors a brand-new take on the Dark Knight.

LEGO explicitly pitches the vehicle as the “Arkham Trilogy Batmobile,” nodding to the trio of games—Batman: Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight—that turned Rocksteady’s vision of Batman into a modern classic. Rather than leaning on comic panels or movie stills, the build embraces the video games’ militarized, tank-like take on the Batmobile, with heavy plating, a low profile, and a cockpit where the Batman minifig can drop in ready for high-speed pursuits. For longtime Arkham players who spent years drifting and ejecting from the Batmobile across Gotham, this is one of the rare physical collectibles that speaks directly to the games’ aesthetic, arriving more than a decade after Arkham first reshaped superhero gaming.

In true modern LEGO fashion, the Arkham Batman Batmobile doesn’t just live on your shelf—it crosses over into your console or PC as well. The set includes a code tied to LEGO’s new game, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, which unlocks a special Golden Red Brick in-game. Redeeming that brick adds a gold effect to characters and vehicles, letting players deck out the Arkham Batmobile and the rest of their Gotham fleet with shimmering skins. The official FAQ for Legacy of the Dark Knight lists the Arkham Trilogy Batmobile among the digital rewards tied to specific physical sets, underscoring LEGO’s broader push to have Batman builds double as game content.

The Arkham Batman Batmobile is part of a small 2027 Batman wave that also includes wall art recreating an iconic Joker comic cover and a new Batman Returns-style Batmobile, giving fans three very different ways to build out their version of Gotham. Taken together, the trio spans display-worthy art, movie nostalgia, and video game grit, with the Arkham car clearly positioned as the gamer’s choice in the line-up. At just 317 parts, it’s the smallest of the bunch and deliberately slotted into a lower price tier than LEGO’s recent mega Batmobiles, making it easier to justify as a desk toy, a kid’s first Batmobile, or an impulse add-on to a growing Batcave collection.

Collector and fan sites are already calling out the Arkham Batman minifigure and the game tie-in as key reasons this set could be a sleeper hit, particularly if Stonewars’ reported retirement window of December 31, 2028 means it won’t stay on shelves forever. ScreenRant and others note that the relatively low price and approachable build are meant to target younger builders while still appealing to adult Arkham diehards—ideal for fans who want a game-accurate Batmobile that doesn’t devour an entire display case. Between its faithful design, digital crossover, and broad release through LEGO retailers in early 2027, the Arkham Batman Batmobile looks poised to roll straight into a lot of real-world Batcaves, from kids’ playrooms to collectors’ display shelves.
