First look: Lego reveals a $230 Batman Returns Batmobile that transforms into the Batmissile

The iconic Batmobile from 1992's Batman Returns is officially getting the Lego treatment. The company has officially announced that the Lego DC Batman: Batman Returns Batmobile is set to drop this September.

Preorders are not live just yet, but it won't be long until you can get your hands on this awesome-looking brick-built vehicle. This 2,269-piece set will be available to buy for $229.99 from Sept. 1 at the Lego Store if you're part of the Lego Insiders program or from Sept. 4 if you're not (it's free to sign up). That's just a couple of weeks away from the time of this writing, so you won't have long to wait.

If you're a big fan of the Caped Crusader, this set is worthy of a spot amongst your collectibles. The 2,269 pieces come together to form the vehicle from the film, complete with a detailed cockpit and cool details hidden throughout, such as The Penguin's tracking device. The fun of this build doesn't stop there, though.

Surely the coolest part of this set is the fact that the Batmobile can actually transform into the Batmissile. According to the press release, "For the first time in a Lego Batmobile model, builders can press a button to release the vehicle's side panels, revealing the sleek Batmissile escape vehicle hidden within."

Of course, no Batmobile is complete without Batman. This build comes with Michael Keaton's Caped Crusader as a minifigure, "with a newly molded cape," per the press release.

This set is recommended for adults 18 and over. As always, if you know someone younger who wants to give it a try, just help them out. It won't be long before this build is available to buy, so mark your calendar for Sept. 4 (or Sept. 1 if you're a Lego Insider).
