I’m trying not to get excited here. Because a long time ago, right after I reviewed the UCS Tumbler, I put together a wish list of UCS Batmobiles that LEGO should make. The Keaton Batmobile from the 1989 Batman film, known as the ’89 Batmobile, was tops on that list. I was stoked when the as-of-yet-unannounced 40433 1989 Batmobile – Limited Edition was discovered. Never in a million years did I ever think that UCS one would be made, but here it is:
And that Keaton Batman minifig with the molded cape? That’s included too, along with, [inhales] a Jack Nicholson Joker and a Kim Basinger Vicki Vale.

I wouldn’t mind more movie-inspired Batmobiles but the TV-series and BTAS versions are next on my wish list. C’mon, LEGO, please make’em happen!
Kind of wish they had given Joker that gun with the ridiculously long barrel. Sure, you can make one, but it’s not quite the same as a molded one.
Also, is there a release date on this?
