SALT LAKE CITY — Comic book fans, unite! Lego recently announced the release date of a new Batmobile inspired by "The Dark Knight" trilogy.
"The Dark Knight" trilogy producer, Christopher Nolan, totally revamped the world's image of the Batmobile and Lego has latched on to his vision with their newest set. The Tumbler measures at 5 inches tall, 15 inches long and 9 inches wide, according to the Lego website. The vehicle features a detailed interior, adjustable top wings and an all-new wheel style that portrays the original Tumbler wheels from the movie.
The design of the Tumbler took Lego designers over four months due to the intricate detail, according to a YouTube video released by Lego on July 21. The set will include a Christian Bale-inspired Batman minifigure and a Heath Ledger “Joker” minifigure.
The Tumbler will be released by Lego on Sept. 1.
