LEGO DC 76304 Batcave is now rumoured to be – wait for it – a Batmobile

This summer’s previously-rumoured LEGO DC 76304 Batcave is now said to actually be another Batmobile, based on one of the few Batman movies the theme has never touched.

Initial reports suggested we’d see a brand new Batcave launch in summer 2025 for $99.99, but Redditor Clay_Bricks now reports that 76304 is actually yet another Batmobile – only this time hooked to Joel Shumacher’s 1995 movie Batman Forever. It’s still thought to retail for $99.99 with 909 pieces in the box, which puts it in a weird place in the LEGO Batman line-up.

That’s arguably too few pieces for a large-scale Batmobile along the lines of 2024’s 76328 Batman: The Classic TV Series Batmobile, but it’s a much higher piece count than you’d expect for a minifigure-scale playset. One explanation could be that there’s more to 76304 Batman Forever Batmobile than just the Dark Knight's car, and we’ll also see a secondary vehicle or perhaps even part of the Batcave included as well.

A Batcave with Batmobile would be a handy way to square the two competing rumours, but given 2019’s 76122 Batcave Clayface Invasion included only 1,038 parts in total, you have to imagine the scale or size of one of those components would suffer with only 909 pieces in the box. There’s also the chance that both rumours are incorrect, and we’ll see a similar situation to last year’s 75394 Imperial Star Destroyer, which was initially rumoured to be a Death Star model (and caught everyone by surprise).

Whatever happens, maybe the most interesting part of this rumour is the link to Batman Forever – one of two mid-‘90s Bat-films that were critically panned, and which the LEGO Batman theme has never broached before. It would open the door to new designs for the Caped Crusader, Robin, Two-Face, Riddler and Alfred, and potentially even a minifigure debut for Nicole Kidman’s Dr. Chase Meridian.

It’s tough to say which way this one might go for now, if it exists at all, but here’s hoping: the LEGO DC theme is looking pretty thin on the ground once again in 2025 otherwise, save for that rumoured $400 Arkham Asylum set…
