Batman Batwing and The Riddler Heist

"With a BrickScore of 65.4, the Batman Batwing and The Riddler Heist is a solid mid-tier DC set carried by an excellent 1989-movie-faithful Batwing, a genuinely clever locking safe, and a line-up of four collectible minifigures headlined by an exclusive Shazam — but the secondary builds are a weak link that keeps it from being a must-buy at full price."

Reviewers broadly agree that the Batwing is the star of the set — a faithful, swooshable recreation of the 1989 Tim Burton design that earns consistent praise. The clever brick-built safe with its Technic locking mechanism and the four minifigures (especially the exclusive Shazam) are also crowd-pleasing highlights. Where reviewers diverge is on the supporting builds: the Riddler's helicopter and Commissioner Gordon's police car are seen as "nice extras" by enthusiasts but "basic" or "blocky" by more critical voices. Value for money is the weakest consensus point — buyer reviews are enthusiastic, but expert reviewers flag that the price feels a touch high for what experienced builders actually get out of the secondary builds.

Where they split: Expert reviewers split noticeably on the police car: JANG called it "different and interesting" with a uniquely low-slung design, while Brick Fanatics found it "incredibly blocky and odd." Similarly, buyer reviews were uniformly enthusiastic about the full package, whereas Brick Fanatics felt three vehicles diluted quality and that better Batman sets exist at the same price point.
