LEGO Batman: The Batwing & The Joker’s Aerial Assault Review
LEGO play sets are something every child loves and most of us have had some experience of them while growing up. Some of the most popular sets include the numerous LEGO Batman sets. Batman has always been something of a superhero legend to children and adults everywhere, and combined with the brilliant basics of Lego, the team up is unbeatable.
LEGO Batman: The Batwing & The Joker’s Aerial Assault is a 553 piece LEGO set that incorporates the best of Batman. While the Joker’s character always has a somewhat malicious side, he is still humorous and loved by all.
In this particular set, Batman fights against the biological warfare the Joker has orchestrated to expel from the copter. Batman’s Batwing is portrayed realistically when put together so that the wings move up and down to simulate flying. Underneath the wings of the Batwing, lifelike missiles are ready to launch at Joker’s helicopter, of which the propellers spin to simulate movement.
When batman shoots the missiles and hits the copter in the right place (at Joker’s headlights) the Joker gets to fall to the ground and live to try and beat Batman another day. Batman saves the day yet again!
The Batman Batwing Lego model is 15 inches tall and Joker’s copter is nine inches tall when both are put together. In addition to the main character and pieces, henchmen and accessories are included, such as the usual Batman and Joker weapons.
This Batman play set is a good one, especially for those who are die-hard collectors. Since it consists of numerous pieces and moving parts, it could be difficult to put together without the help of an adult, although not entirely impossible. The set is made from durable and non-toxic plastic, as all Lego sets are, and is safe for children who are at least three years of age.
However, because of the “violent nature” of the battles between Batman and the Joker, parents may want to supervise smaller children while playing. Batman Batwing & Joker’s Aerial Assault costs approximately $250 and makes a great gift to those who love these sets and are ready to move on to bigger and better LEGO Batman projects.
