Nerdy About The Bricks
I love this! The batmobile has taken many live-action shapes, and it seems that filmmakers feel it's their duty to give us a new one with every new movie. But no matter which is your personal favorite (I'm sorta partial for the Burton one myself) you have to love them all at this mini scale by builder SPARKART. And all the figures to with them is a perfect finishing touch.
I don't care if it's cool to bash on Burton's Batman, I'm not gonna. When it came out in 1989 I was super busy at work and didn't get to it for a couple weeks. In that time I listened to all my coworkers and friends bash on it for some reason or another. So When I finally went to see it my expectations were understandably really low...I LOVED it. Keaton is still my favorite Batman and Bruce. And while I find Jack's makeup a bit distracting, his Joker was pretty awesome. I think builder Cpt. Brick is in my camp, judging by this brilliant MOC of Joker's parade at the end of the movie.
Fans of the bat rejoice! This is a pretty subtle and brilliant mashup. Batman the Animated Series meets LEGO Batman! It's a simple, clean and perfect design, and now it's on a shirt from those fine folks at Tee Fury. But you've got to hurry, it's for today only, go!
After an eventful week at San Diego Comic Con, you'd think I'd be all "super hero'd out", but I don't think that could ever happen. And while I'm actually camping the next couple days I'll still be winding down from SDCC for at least a week. So thankfully nobu_tary is there to help me make the transition back to civilian life with just a little dose of Batman goodness.
Kids from the decade that brought us The Gong Show, bell bottoms and Star Wars will remember these large iconic robots from across the sea. Well thanks to the creative mind of builder MacLane we're going to get a whole series of these soon. It's LEGO meets super heroes meets 70's Japanese robots, and I can't wait to see more.
Batman is sort of "ever present" in my life recently, with the success of my short film Batman vs Superman, the sequel in the works and other projects in active production, he's sort of on my mind all the time. So this MOC by Grantmasters speaks to me in a way that would probably concern my therapist, if I had one.
It's the perfect invention! You know, so you can open your Easter eggs, eat some chocolates and celebrate spring with your buddies! It's a whole lot of Easter fun from builder Powerpig. Happy Easter everyone!
Here at BrickNerd we like to look back from time to time, and to Gotham's darker places. Batman villains have been on my mind recently, so I thought I'd dig up an older favorite of mine. This comic cover inspired scene by Julius No features not only the caped crusader and and his nemesis Joker, but also one of the best LEGO representations of the most popular female character in the DC universe, Harley Quinn.
Here's a cute and squee-riffic collection from one of my favorite builders, KOS brick. He calls these Brick Buddies, I call them adorable. They're like Nerdly's pop culture cousins, and I want my own collection of them immediately. Click through for even more of these cuddly little wonders.
I've always been a big fan of the batmobile, and judging from the number of them I see all the time on Flickr you all are too. But I don't see many with play features, especially as well hidden as this badass Batmobile from AC Studio. This thing is packing machine guns, autocannons and missile launchers, all tucked away in cleverly hidden compartments. Click through for more images.
Ah to be a slightly psychologically disturbed billionaire with a vendetta. Builder M<0><0>DSWIM brings us the latest in Batman technology, the Batwing Gundam. It's super pose-able, super detailed and super badass. Perhaps if Batman had shown up for this fight with one of these, the outcome would have been different.
Well, he won't fit in the Batmobile, and cleaning up after him is going to be a nightmare, but imagine how handy it will be to have flying ability without the Batwing! Builder Cake in Milk has reimagined one of LEGO Idea's latest offerings as a super hero sidekick, and the results are remarkablarious.
Holy retro action Batman! Comic Bricks seems to have resonated throughout the AFOL community. I really wish this MOC had been at D-Con 2014 so I could see it in person. I'm a sucker for a little retro, and I love this. I really dig the brick-built logo on the comic too, nice work Clayton Marchetti. Click through for more pics.
I do believe that if I found myself a billionaire vigilante, with a penchant for gadgets and black everything (and sometimes very dark gray), I don't think I'd be too keen to have a spastic teenage sidekick. I know there's plenty of Robin fans out there, but builder captain smog is clearly not one of them.
I think it's safe to call Comic Bricks officially a "thing" now. Monsterbricks is back with another excellent cover MOC, this time a classic Batman cover. The dynamic duo look pretty amazing here, and I never thought I'd think that about a MOC featuring Hero Factory parts.
BrickNerd Studios is extremely happy to announce our latest project is online, Batman Vs Superman. This was a ton of work but also a ton of fun. I'd like to thank everyone that helped make this a reality. Please watch and share!
I'm looking forward to attending DesignerCon 2014 this weekend. I'll be displaying some MOCs and my contribution to the ComicBricks art show (if I can get it finished!). If you've never been to DesignerCon I strongly encourage you to come check out all the designer toys, art, apparel and loads of other way cool stuff.
I'm also super excited to be showing an exclusive preview of my new animated film, Batman Vs Superman. See it at the show before you can download it! The sets from the film will also be on display. I'll have some stickers and if you're really nice a handful of Nerdly printed bricks. Come down to the Pasadena Convention Center this weekend and I'll see you there!
I'd also like to send a HUGE shoutout to fabulous Paul Lee for doing the artwork for the poster, it's phenomenal!
Orion Pax is back with one of my all time favorite movie cars, the '89 Batmobile. I consider myself lucky, when Batman came out back then I was super busy at work, so it was a couple weeks before I could see it. In that time all my friends were bashing on it so I went in with really low expectations. I loved it! And I loved this car, and I'm happy to say this version does it justice. Check out the full gallery here.
On Halloween we all face our fears, even Batman. Of all the evil villains of Gotham, Scarecrow has to be one of the scariest. Let's face it, Penguin isn't scary, and Poison Ivy is just, well, you know. But Scarecrow...*shudder*. This version by vitreolum strikes all the right notes. And just check out his awesome Batman, it's a one-two character punch!
Update: Through the magic of photoshop here's Batman in black, I dig it!
This here is a trifecta of total awesome. Builder and illustrator polywen has assembled a side by side by side of his reproductions of classic issue #27 of Detective Comics, the premier of Batman. In the middle is his inspiration, the original cover from 1939. On the right is his excellent LEGO minifig illustration. And on the left is his mind-blowing MOC for the Comic Bricks art show for DesignerCon 2014.
