Christian Bale's vehicle of choice from the popular Batman movie The Dark Knight has gotten the LEGO treatment with two new sets for fans of all ages. Officially announced is the 76240 Batmobile Tumbler set for older fans that comes with 2049 pieces to truly capture the style of the iconic vehicle in LEGO form. Budding Batman fans may similarly be interested in the 422-piece set aimed for ages 8+, and though there are far less pieces, the Batmobile still looks amazing.

Two minifigures are included with the kids' Batmobile set, differing from the Batman and Joker figures that come with the adult kit. This obviously includes Batman, who comes with a grappling gun and an alternative "nightmare" head. His nemesis the Scarecrow is also joining him, and he comes with his own stud shooter and toxic fear gas cannister. As is typically the case with these kinds of Lego products, the attention to detail is spectacular.

Directed by Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight is the second installment of the filmmaker's Batman trilogy starring Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne. Also starring Heath Ledger as the Joker, the movie is widely regarded as one of the best superhero movies ever made. Though new incarnations of Batman have since been introduced, many fans still go back to The Dark Knight which is why these kinds of products still sell so well with fans of all ages.
