Visitors at this year’s Gamescom event were able to check out a near life-size LEGO Batmobile build that clocked in at 500,000 pieces.
Gamescom 2025 is currently in its final day at the time of this writing, with the annual event taking place in Cologne and welcoming visitors from around the globe. One of the stand-out announcements from this year’s show was the reveal of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, TT Games’ highly-anticipated follow-up to LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga.
To promote the still-in-development title, the LEGO Group hosted its own dedicated booth on the Gamescom floor, complete with playable demos of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, a large-scale Batman minifigure and an impressive and near life-size LEGO Batmobile build with working headlights and tail lights.
Built and designed by Caspar Bennedsen and assembled by his team at Brick Works, the massive vehicle was based on the Dodge Charger seen in The Batman and constructed from 500,000 individual LEGO bricks, weighs 1,700 pounds and took over 1,300 working hours to complete.
“The most fun part about building a model like this for me is the sheer size of it,” said Caspar in an Instagram story on the LEGO Group's official social media account. “It’s huge. Massive. And getting something small and building it into something big is really what I Iove."
Despite being constructed from so many LEGO pieces, the Batmobile should be able to stand up to plenty of scrutiny from any admiring fans during its residency at Gamescom 2025.
“We glue each piece, so it actually holds. So the car is quite sturdy,” explained Caspar. “You can actually see it’s individual LEGO pieces that it should look like, that is built out. It has the studs.”
The huge LEGO Batman Batmobile has drawn plenty of admiration from many fans, including the LEGO Group itself. Posts on the company’s social media accounts stated, “That’s not just a Batmobile, that’s a brick-built Justice machine!”
Other fans have also chimed in with their praise for the model, with many cheekily asking if the half-a-million piece build would be included as a pre-order freebie with copies of LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight.
Gamers will be able to pick up LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight when it’s released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store in 2026.
