one of the best batmobiles for price
You can get this set for cheap on resale The batmobile is good for playability and is very mobile. Building is not fun because it's very technic reliable, minifigs are a little bland but the lexcorp workers are exclusive which is always a plus, and the batman has dual molded legs which are always great plus only comes in one other set which is much more expense plus there is no part of the set that really brings it down. 4.7/5.

Kryptonite Interception is one of the three sets released for Batman v Superman movie. It has 3 figures, 3 builds, and 306 parts.
Builds:
1. Batmobile: This is my favorite Batmobile ever made by LEGO. The actual car is an extremely complicated model and the designers have done a fantastic job replicating it in Lego. The entire model is very sturdy. The front has two stud shooters as well as twin cannons on either side. The front two tires are smaller than the back giving the whole vehicle a sleek, low-profile look. There is a pentagonal tile used with a sticker to show the Batsign in dark grey.
The most interesting piece is the canopy which includes two new pieces. The pcs are done in black with tinted curved windows that are very stylized but also accurate. The sides have some greebling which is reminiscent of the 1989 Batmobile. The top of the canopy has hinged plates to create the A design and contains the airbrakes. The inside of the canopy is bare consisting of two 1x4 tiles with stickers. The back is simple as well. The back tires have wings attached to them which is similar to the Tumbler.2. Lexcorp Forklift: The design is pretty basic but includes a small play feature. The colour scheme is new and looks good on display. The sides have 1x4 stickers saying Lexcorp which are handy for MOCs. The back has a small lever which when activated destroys the back section and sends the henchman flying. Its a fun feature which appears in other sets as well.
3. Kryptonite Canisters: The build consists of a 6x4 brown plate which contains 3 Kryptonite Canisters. There is a black bowl piece which contains a Kryptonite stone and is covered by a transparent dome. The build is simple but effective. The forklift can be used to life the entire assembly.
Minifigures:
1. Batman: The version appears in two sets. The head and cowl and cape are the same as 2015's Batman but the torso is new. There is the new stretched Batsign as well as the dull gold utility belt. The torso has really cool speck of silver which look fantastic. The legs are dual molded which is nice to get in a cheap set.
Batman comes with 2 silver batarangs2. and 3. Henchmen 1 and 2: Both henchmens share an exclusive torso. Its a dark green Lexcorp jacket with an ID tag at the front and the name LEXCORP written at the back similar to the stickers on the forklift. Aside from that all the other parts appear elsewhere.
Overall:
The set is fantastic. The minifigure selection is a bit dull with only 1 named character but the builds especially the Batmobile is awesome. I bought it for $30 CAD at 33% off MSRP which I felt was justified. At full price the set is not worth it because of the lame figures.Rating: 4/5

Like my tank you unarmed pedestrians?
Hey everyone, I'm back for another review for brickset. Thankfully a relative got me this set for Christmas. This has been one that I have been wanting for a long time, and I can't wait to tell you about it. Let's dive into the review.
Box/Instructions: The box is pretty typical for a set the same size and of the same theme. Oddly enough, the instructions were very folded and i had to use a cooking utensil to hold them down. Other than that, they were pretty easy to follow (I made about 2 errors).
Parts: If you are looking for a good parts pack, this set is for you. The cockpit pieces are pretty new, with them only being found in one other set so far. the flowerpot pieces are nice in black, as well as the forklift pieces and a bunch of black parts.
Minifigures: The minifigures are nice. Batman ha the new spongy cape, as well as the cowl with short ears. The Lexcorp henchmen have unique torsos and relativly rare figures (I've heard one is Legolas and the other is Vic Hoskins from Jurassic World). Batman also has dual molded legs, which I love.
The Build: The build is pretty typical for the set. It took me about 2 days to finish. I made two errors, which is really frustrating. However, i fixed those with some help and now I'm here. The forklift was very easy. The batmobile was a bit tricky, but I got the hang of it. The time will vary from person to person. I personally hated the technic parts and the stickers.
The Completed model: I like the completed model quite a bit. The forklift is simple, but nice. The Batmobile looks wonderful and is one of the best interpretations I've ever seen. The bit on the end is a bit fragile, so beware of that.
Overall: I really like the set. The set is really worth the price. You get nice minifgures, good parts and a wonderful completed model. Even though the stickers and technic parts were kind of hard, I really don't mind that. My only gripe is that the end pieces are a bit fragile. I totally recommend it as a gift or for fun

Justice has Dawned!
I recently purchased this set, and I do not regret it one bit. Heck, there's a certain issue that many builders of this set have had, I have not had that at all. Unfortunately however, there was one accidental flaw that I will get into later on this otheriwse perfect set.
Box/Instructions
The box is very well made, design wise, with a design that shows literally everything you need to know. The instructions are very clear, too, something that was not present in the previous Batmobile incarnation from the first LEGO reboot of the superheroes line a few years ago.
Parts
The parts are amazing for this kind of set, with a few pieces you wouldn't expect for this pricepoint. Like the Nexo Knights shield for example. This was my first time using that piece, as well as the new cockpit piece AND the mounted stud launcher pieces, and needless to say I definitely enjoy them all.
Minifigures
The minifigure selection in this set is, yet again, top notch. With face prints no longer obtainable in retail sets, it's a good way to get Vic Hoskins and Legolas' face if you don't want to shell out too much. I especially like the Batman minifigure in this. Dual molded legs, immaculate detail on the torso. what else do I need? Well, The cape, however, I did not enjoy. Not because I dislike the new cape style, no, as I love that. The reason I did not enjoy it, was because in the box, one of the parts had hitched inside the protective packaging the cape was in-- and ripped the corner of the cape clean off. I'm lucky I have a second batman minifigure with this cape.
The build
The build was very enjoyable, with lots of building techniques I will find myself using in the future. The Low Cost Production Parts (Like blue yellow etc) Are completely covered. People have been saying that the wheel support (That grey slab in the front) Makes the build look a little ugly from the front, however, I like it, simply due to the Batmobile obviously needing to look a little rugged. The forklift is by far one of the best side builds I have ever seen in a set of this price. People have been saying too, that the 'glass' shells over the Kryptonite cases keep falling off? Hasn't done that once for me, it's a nice, solid atttchment. UR DOIN IT WRONG.
The completed model
The completed model is, well, very complete. I would've liked some structure or something to go with it as an added bonus to show the city destruction, but hey, can't get too greedy, right?
Overall opinion
My final opinion on this set is that its a NECESSITY if you want to have a thriving Batman world. I think it works well as both play and display sets, and I prefer this batmobile over the last one. Kudos to ya, LEGO.

The Ideal Set at the Ideal Scale
With the Batman vs. Superman premiere now in the rear-view mirror, it seems like a great time to revisit the most recent Batmobile release as both a stand-alone set, and as an extension of the newest DC blockbuster.
Parts
While there can be little surprise when it comes to the density of black pieces in a Batmobile set, the range of pieces included in the set provides a strong offering of rare or recently-molded pieces.
The Batmobile, for example, contains as many angular pieces that someone could hope for from a Superheroes set. The rear half of the set, and the side panels, consist almost entirely of sloped or angled pieces, all of which influence the overall sleek look of the car. Moreover, the new cockpit style, the pentagonal tile immediately behind the stud-shooters, and the small spoiler pieces mounted above the front wheels are all welcome, and considerably rare, pieces that only add to the set's initial appeal.
The forklift comes with fewer surprises, but its blessing is the simple fact that it IS a forklift. While Lego has made a number of these in the past, their concentration in the City line have given them few, if any, appearances in Superheroes sets. While the roll cage is not particularly rare, the lift and fork seem to have made very limited showings in the past. Finally, the green gems or in this case, "Concentrated Kryptonite," is just a fun, welcome bonus to already strong piece selection.
Minifigures
Considering the scene that this set is influenced by, it's understandable that the villain selection is somewhat dull, divided among the two Lexcorp figures. While it would be fun to hope for a different Lex figure, it would certainly skew the accuracy to source material. Having said all that, the three figures included do more than enough to satisfy on the minifigure-side of things.
The two Lexcorp henchmen are terrific in my opinion, and offer a solid variety of faces that are not limited to the set. With the goatee head appearing in only one other set and the clean-shaven face in only four others, their heads alone are nice, albeit simple offerings with flexibility. The printing of their torsos are both terrific and leave little to be criticized with any real value.
As for Bats himself, Lego delivers once again and represents the Gotham hero accurately. The printed pattern on the torso brings his new material suit to life and the wide bat-symbol looks terrific as it stretches across the entire chest. The shorter ears make for a wonderful change of pace in my opinion, and like the henchman, leave little to criticize or think poorly on.
The build
The construction of Lego vehicles feels somewhat typical at this point, even when considering the density of a forklift and the long, stretched appearance of the Batmobile. Counting in at just over 300 pieces, it is a relatively fast build with few complicated elements.
Despite the thoughts that most car-building is a bit of a bore in the grand scheme of Lego, I must admit that the exterior design and building process of the Batmobile kept me interested all the while. The piling on of the sloped and angled pieces was a blast, and only when you build it do you get a good sense of just how many moving parts the set truly has. The bells and whistles of the sleek body design fully redeem the otherwise standard construction of both vehicles.
The completed model
Those "bells and whistles" that were mentioned a second ago are exactly the features that allow for this set to flourish in my opinion. Stud-shooters, spoiler-covered turrets, wheel protectors, the diagonally opening cockpit, and the bit of movement available from the angular pieces situated above the cockpit are all brilliant inclusions that make this rendition of the Batmobile feel dynamic, fast, and versatile.
The forklift, despite its own size limitations, also offers plenty in the way of its operational lift, flick-missiles, and an exploding play feature which takes an otherwise simple little vehicle and turns it into something far more fun.
Overall opinion
The biggest influence of "overall rating" for me is the quality of a set held against its price-point. Considering that standard, I can comfortably say that this Batmobile, even with the DC licensing and three excellent minifigures, is one of the best buys in my collection. Unlike some licensed sets which take advantage of tiny, repeated pieces in order to justify a higher price, this set comes in just under ten cents a piece, all the while offering a diverse and exciting piece collection. And let us not forget it, it is a Batmobile.
Just as the Hulk Buster Smash set created a new personal standard for Marvel sets one year ago, the Kryptonite Interception sets a new standard for DC. Whether a Batman fan, a vehicles fan, or just someone who likes to build, Kryptonite Interception offers something for everyone - and then a little bit extra, too.
