Synthesized Verdict

"With a BrickScore of 73, critics and owners alike recommend Kryptonite Interception as a well-priced, sturdy Batmobile set with a standout cockpit design, even if the unfinished front end and limited minifig roster prevent it from reaching the top tier."

Both Brickset and JANG's LEGO Reviews land at 80/100, calling the BvS Batmobile the standout highlight of the set and praising its successful translation of complex movie curves into a sturdy, playable model. Owner sentiment is exceptional, with 35 ratings averaging 4.64 out of 5 and a 100% would-recommend rate on LEGO.com, indicating critics and buyers are squarely aligned on this one. The minifigure lineup (Batman with dual-moulded legs plus two LexCorp henchmen) earns consistent approval, though both expert reviewers note the henchmen are secondary draws.

What reviewers are saying

JANG's LEGO Reviews

"this is undoubtedly my favourite of the three Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice sets"

Brickset Reviews

"Kryptonite Interception is the medium-sized set from the initial bunch of Batman V Superman theme and is unique in that it's completely Batman-focused."

Jay's Brick Blog

Ecosystem

Reviewer's own attempted MOC based on leaked movie images — The LEGO version is better than the reviewer's MOC attempt because LEGO successfully balanced complex shapes with durability, simplicity for instructions, and playability for kids, which the reviewer did not attempt to do.

76035 Jokerland — 76045 features the Batman minifigure with dual-moulded legs (first appeared in 76035), making 76045 the least expensive set to include this version.

76046 Heroes of Justice: Sky High Battle — Same Batman minifigure with dual-moulded legs appears in both sets.

Other Batman v Superman sets — This is undoubtedly my favourite of the three Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice sets. I certainly recommend this set over the others in the Batman V Superman range.

"The Batmobile was really tough for Lego to design I really admire the job that they have done although I really do wish that the front was just a little bit more finished looking other than that everything else about this set is is better than I could ask for it to be and probably better than I personally could have done if I was designing it myself so I really cannot complain and I am happy with its value with its price point"

Key Pros

✓Well-executed Batmobile design given the complexity of translating movie proportions
✓Nice compound curves and low profile achieved successfully
✓Solid construction that withstands play and crashes

Key Cons

✕Front of Batmobile looks unfinished around the axles with exposed bushings and gray wheels
✕Batmobile cockpit is difficult to see into clearly

Value drivers

JANG's LEGO Reviews: Movie-specific Batman variant with dual-color legs

Brickset Reviews: Batman minifigure with dual-moulded legs and special printing is the key collectible draw.

Exclusivity

Brickset Reviews: Batman minifigure with dual-moulded legs appears in only 76035 Jokerland and 76046 Heroes of Justice: Sky High Battle, making it relatively exclusive. Part of limited Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice movie tie-in theme.

Jay's Brick Blog: Wide retail release; minifigures exclusive to this set but Batman shared with 76046

Resale

Jay's Brick Blog: The Batmobile will appeal to collectors and enthusiasts, likely maintaining value for display appeal.

Standout parts (per reviewers)

Shield add-on piece
New piece used commonly with the new Nexon Knights sets
Canopy pieces
New pieces, split into two separate sections with scissoring action that allows each half to angle independently
Wing pieces on front flaps
Existing pieces repurposed for the vehicle design
Black Nexo Power tile
Used to form part of the Batmobile armour; reviewer hopes to see this piece appearing more in future sets as it is used to good effect here.
Cockpit canopy pieces
Consists of two pieces designed specifically for this set, connected by Technic hinges, can be opened in two halves and angled outwards creating an unusual and attractive profile. Unclear if these elements will appear in future sets as they seem fairly specialised.
Three inverted domes in black
Used on the Kryptonite pallet; appear in black in only three other sets. Simple containment units look great but trans-clear lids are rather loose and tend to fall off unless transported with care.
