LEGO Batman Returns Batcave Shadow Box Set Launches Tonight

With Michael Keaton donning the cowl once again as Batman in the upcoming The Flash movie, nostalgia for Tim Burton's original films is at an all-time high. LEGO is ready to add fuel to the fire with the 76252 Batcave Shadow Box. It clocks in with a hefty 3981 pieces, and recreates the entire Batcave from the 1992 film Batman Returns in high detail. Naturally, the Batmobile is also included and buildable in the set. All signs point to this being a hot seller, and your first chance to own it is happening tonight June 4th / 5th. Everything you need to know can be found below.

When the Batman LEGO shadow box is closed, you'll see elements of the interior through the Batman emblem. When opened, you'll get the full Batcave complete with gadgets, moveable elements, and minifigures that include Max Shreck, The Penguin, Catwoman, 2 versions of Batman, Alfred Pennyworth and Bruce Wayne. Basically, it offers you two awesome options for display.

Special features of the set include the ability to change the computer screen and open and close the tool store and illuminated (light brick) Batsuit vault. The Batmobile also has a roof that opens to accommodate a Batman minifigure and a cog that can be turned to unveil two blasters.

The 76252 Batcave Shadow Box is priced at $399.99 and will be available first to LEGO VIPs tonight June 4th / 5th at 9pm PT / 12am ET right here at LEGO.com. A late Sunday night launch isn't ideal, but you need to be ready at launch time because the VIP allotment is guaranteed to sell out lightning fast. You can sign up to be a LEGO VIP right here (it's free). The general public will be able to grab theirs at midnight ET on June 8th.

Warner Bros. describes the film as follows: "Worlds collide in "The Flash" when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back in time in order to change the events of the past. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening annihilation, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is, unless Barry can coax a very different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian... albeit not the one he's looking for. Ultimately, to save the world that he is in and return to the future that he knows, Barry's only hope is to race for his life. But will making the ultimate sacrifice be enough to reset the universe?"

The Flash hits theaters on June 16th.
