Review: 76139-1 – 1989 Batmobile

I was 5 years old when Batman was released and changed cinema forever. It ushered a new world of Superhero Movies and redefined what a blockbuster meant. Now I don’t remember any of that, but I do remember watching it on TV when I was a little older and being blown away by everything about it. In the UK the comic book scene wasn’t quite as saturated as the US market (shout-out to all the Beano and Dandy fans!) so Batman wasn’t quite such a household name, most people only knew him the 60’s TV show. That wasn’t this Batman, this Batman had depth, darkness, flaws even. And it made him infinately more interesting.
