5.0 out of 5 stars GET THIS BOOK September 13, 2012

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

If you have a Lego and Batman fan in your house, buy this book now! The minifigre is super cute of Batman's electric suit and the contents of the book are outstanding. The book features very detailed pictures of all the sets and figures since 2006 to present. There is also cross section pictures of the vehicles so young builders might be able to get some ideas on the building process. Plus there is a huge comic book style story in the middle with fantastic photos of the figures and scenes. The pictures are outstanding and so clear and detailed. There is also a section on how the video game was made. Basically anything related to Lego Batman is in this book. I cannot wait to give it as a gift!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars AWESOME September 17, 2012

By Zel

This book is amazingly well done. I am extremely happy about what they did with it. Since they didn't have as many LEGO products done in the Batman theme I was worried it would be small and filled with boring information that could be found in fifteen seconds on a google search. The mini figure was wonderfully done. They put in the new Bat-cowl, and they did a good job with it. They thinned out the piece so that it looks better and looks like it could function as a mask/helmet unlike the previous one which seemed too bulky. For collectors and anyone else who wants to know, Batman has arm, leg, back, and cowl printing. This is an astonishing book and is suggested for all Batman or Lego fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars My brother loved this! December 20, 2012

Format:Hardcover

I bought this for my 9 year old brother and I was very impressed with it! It shipped super quick and the graphics were AWESOME! It totally went above and beyond my expectations and it tells you about all the DC superheros not only Batman. It came with a free lego too so that was a bonus! I was just so impressed and he absolutely loved it so since my lil guy is happy, I'm more than happy:) Big sis nailed it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding October 1, 2012

By D. MCKICHAN TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

We have several of the DK Lego books and all are great. The batman one is no exception. Excellent photos and details about the various sets and figures. At 95 pages long it isn't lengthy but the pages are large and the illustrations detailed and brightly colored. There is a considerable amount of verbiage on each page too so if you have a young reader rest assured they aren't just getting a picture book. My 8 year old has spent at least a half hour per day with this book since getting it over two weeks ago and often longer than that. Yes it is late September and his christmas list is done and on the fridge, filled with about half the sets in this book. I'm ok with that because I know he is actually reading it as well, as I have now heard every small factoid about every set since made since 2006.

If you have a young person who likes Legos than you cannot go wrong with these books. All of ours have stood the test of time and Amazon usually has them priced extremely well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book December 15, 2012

By B. Henne

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase

My 7 yr old son loves this book. He has recently become a batman fan. He reads and looks at this book everyday. The only bad thing about this book and him being so young is they have pictures and listing of older lego sets. Showing all batman Legos that have been made and that is great if you are not a 7 yr old that does not understand completely these sets are not able to be bought because they are no longer made and are collectors items now. Other wise the book is fantastic!

This book is great for anyone into LEGO, DC Comics, Batman, or collectors. The whole family has read this book and I often find it in my daughter's posession. The pictures are very high quality, and with short captions and LEGO facts throughout. Also included is the exclusive "Electro Suit" Batman minifigure. I keep him safely stored in the book when he's not out with the other LEGO collection on display. The quality and printing detail is really good, and you need this guy to complete your collection. I highly recommend this book and Amazon has amazing prices. I paid only about twelve dollars for this book and MSRP is twenty two. It also arrived at my door in only three days!

I bought this book on sale for my nephew and my son. They both loved it. The price on Amazon made it a great deal! The minifigure added is a nice extra.

My son is a lego nut! He loves the action figures most of all. He has a wonderful time playing with all of the lego characters. This book was a great way for him to look at all the characters he loves.
