Batman gets all the cool toys. Lego Batman, well his toys are a tad bit cooler. Chevy and The Lego Batman Movie teamed up to build an actual, full scale, Lego Batmobile. The full scale replica was built by Chevy and Lego, and was inspired by the Batman SpeedWagon, which will be featured in the new movie.
If you notice it only has one seat. That’s because Batman only has one butt.

The new model was unveiled at the North American International Auto Show, and will be featured in a new Chevrolet commercial featuring Lego Minifigures talking about what kind of person would drive it.
“To work on the LEGO® Batmobile with Warner Bros. is an absolute thrill for us at Chevy,” said Paul Edwards, U.S. vice president of Chevrolet Marketing. “Many of the themes in ‘The LEGO® Batman Movie,’ like imagination, family and community, align perfectly with our Chevy brand values and add to the value of the partnership.”
