Review: 76303 Batman Tumbler vs. Two-Face & The Joker
Posted by CapnRex101,
Released in 2005, Batman Begins will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year. The beloved film introduced a new version of Batman, as well as the Tumbler, which has swiftly become a classic Batmobile design. LEGO has therefore launched several models of the vehicle.
The latest example is 76303 Batman Tumbler vs. Two-Face & The Joker, which evidently takes inspiration from The Dark Knight, given the villains included. Those minifigures are definitely appealing and I think the Tumbler itself looks excellent, although there are some unexpected issues too.
Summary
76303 Batman Tumbler vs. Two-Face & The Joker, 429 pieces.
£54.99 / $59.99 / €59.99 | 12.8p/14.0c/14.0c per piece.

Though a good model overall, this set is surprisingly small and feels very expensive
- Impressive exterior
- Rigid design for play
- Highly desirable minifigures
- Inferior to 2021 design in some areas
- Unexpectedly small
- Severely overpriced

Minifigures
This is only the third appearance of Batman wearing his memorable suit from The Dark Knight, complete with the distinctive angular bat symbol on his chest. I love the textured armour across the torso and the metallic gold belt looks fantastic, perhaps featuring slightly finer detail than the version from 76240 Batmobile Tumbler.
However, this minifigure lacks printed legs and the dual-moulded cowl is not really suitable for Batman from the Dark Knight trilogy, given its white eyes. The rubber cape is questionable too, as Batman's cape is distinctly made of a light fabric in these movies, but I like the cape's overall moulded shape.
As normal, Batman comes equipped with a batarang and features suitably grim expressions on his double-sided head, which has been used consistently for the character since 2019. There is no hair piece though, unfortunately.
Heath Ledger's iconic portrayal of the Joker also appeared in 76240 Batmobile Tumbler, so I am pleased he is available again, in a more affordable set. The hair piece and head are both unchanged from the 2021 minifigure and the head in particular is outstanding, as his chaotic makeup and crooked smile match the film perfectly.
However, like Batman, this minifigure lacks some details that were present before. The lack of printed arms is understandable, but printed legs should have been included, as they were with 76023 The Tumbler from 2014. The torso looks superb though, featuring an accurate patterned shirt and tie under the green waistcoat, which is missing a button, exactly as shown onscreen.
Although the Joker has very little interest in money, burning a pile of cash to illustrate this, the minifigure comes with a printed banknote.
Two-Face is the minifigure I was excited about and I am sure many DC fans feel the same, as this version of the character has never appeared in a LEGO set before. Thankfully, it does not disappoint, due primarily to a stunning new hair piece recreating Harvey Dent's damaged hair from the climax of the movie. I hope any future Two-Face minifigures use the element in other colours.
As expected, Harvey's gruesome injuries from The Dark Knight are toned down for this figure, although his distinctive head looks excellent from the front. Sadly, the damage does not cover one side of the head completely, so the effect is weaker from other angles. However, the black markings where his jacket was burned look great, alongside a matching black arm.
Two-Face's famed coin is provided, showing the bad side, with scratches across the Statue of Liberty in profile. Damage to the coin is far worse onscreen, although simplifying the scratches was probably a sensible decision, as it is nice to see Lady Liberty clearly in LEGO form.

The Completed Model
The newly appointed Lieutenant Gordon installs the Bat-Signal atop the GCPD building at the end of Batman Begins and I am happy to see this version of the signal in LEGO form. Its base looks quite simple, but allows the necessary functionality, as the spotlight housing can rotate or tilt back and forth.
I am surprised the designer did not integrate a glow-in-the-dark 3x3 round tile for the spotlight, ideally with a printed bat symbol on top. The sticker on a dark bluish grey tile looks reasonable though, with a metallic finish, as do the basic controls attached to the side.
LEGO has sometimes struggled with the Tumbler in the past, especially at smaller scales. The vehicle's layered armour is very complex and its unusual wheel configuration at the front tends to cause issues. However, I think this design captures the onscreen Batmobile quite accurately, retaining certain features from 76239 Batman Tumbler: Scarecrow Showdown, while adding lots of new ones too.
Furthermore, the model looks sleek from most angles and its proportions are excellent on the whole. The view directly from either side is problematic, however, as the roof seems strangely tall and there is no forward rake, which I think has helped previous editions of the Tumbler. The vehicle fundamentally looks meaner when tilted forward slightly.
Arguably a greater issue emerges when comparing this Tumbler with 76239 Batman Tumbler: Scarecrow Showdown. Based on official images, I assumed they would be approximately the same size, but the new version is considerably smaller than its precursor. This is a positive in some regards because it is closer to true minifigure-scale, but it seems absurd when the price has risen to £54.99, $59.99 or €59.99.
In fact, its length of 17cm, excluding the flame on the back, is relatively close to many Speed Champions cars, although the Tumbler is wider, admittedly. Again, this could be considered a strength for display, but the model looks tiny for the price.
While small, this rendition of the Tumbler does feature plenty of detail. The shaping around the front wheels is impressive and I like the sticker placed between them, representing the window used when the Tumbler's primary weapons are deployed. The wheels are actually connected to a central axle as well as the armour on each side, which is not accurate to the movie, but does feel sturdy.
I like the pearl gold pieces forming suspension detail behind the wheels and the surrounding armour looks fantastic. The combination of wedge slopes and angled flags works particularly well, recreating the Tumbler's tank-like design. Sadly, the armour cannot retract to release the Bat-Pod. That would be an amazing function, but it would surely involve major compromises and could never work as shown onscreen, with one front wheel swinging behind the other.
Dark bluish grey pieces are also used in a few places, breaking up the otherwise monochrome bodywork. The mix of studded and smooth surfaces is effective too, as are the scattered trans-clear parts forming headlights, which are correctly positioned in relation to the source material.
The roof is connected using clips, so hinges open to reveal the interior. Whereas the previous Tumbler had room for two minifigures, there is only one seat this time, surrounded by controls. The trans-green highlights and stickered consoles look nice and I like the seat's offset position, although omitting the second is disappointing.
Much like 76274 Batman with the Batmobile vs. Harley Quinn and Mr. Freeze, there is enough space for Batman's cape inside. This is useful, but will surely not be possible for all versions of the Batmobile, as many have tighter cockpits. There is also a clip to hold a batarang behind the driver.
A pair of stud shooters are situated behind the cockpit. These are integrated quite neatly, but I would be inclined to remove them when displaying the model, which is easily done. Otherwise, the layered armour continues to impress and I like the spoiler elements used in front of the rear wheels, borrowing a technique from 76239 Batman Tumbler: Scarecrow Showdown.
The back of the vehicle is noticeably lacking in texture, however. The fiery exhaust looks fine, although there should be shock absorbers between it and the wheels and the model seems a little bland without them. The detail across the top is better though, comprising some pearl gold clips and a black pantograph piece.
Overall
Taken in isolation, I am satisfied with 76303 Batman Tumbler vs. Two-Face & The Joker. The minifigures are appealing and Two-Face in particular is brilliantly designed, while the Tumbler looks good. Its shape corresponds with the onscreen vehicle and I love how the armour comes together, recreating its layered structure from the movies.
However, comparisons with 76239 Batman Tumbler: Scarecrow Showdown are inevitable and many are unfavourable. The loss of a seat inside is disappointing and even though the smaller size has some advantages, it makes the price of £54.99, $59.99 or €59.99 really unacceptable, especially since the 2021 model cost £34.99, $39.99 or €39.99. When this set is discounted to that level, it will become a worthy purchase, but not before.

I hate trying to neatly apply stickers to round tiles.
I BELIEVE IN HARVEY DENT!
(Sorry, it had to be said!)
The rear tires are my main issue with this new version. They just don't feel quite right.
The front tires do feel more accurate than the ones used in 76239, though.
There's a lot of things I like about this set, but a lot I don't like. The price is awful, of course. The two main problems I have with the build are the central support for the front wheels, which is understandable for sturdiness but inaccurate, and the loss of the second seat. However, both of those will be easy to fix. It's easy to remove the central wheel supports for display, and if you give Batman a fabric cape there's just enough room to squeeze another minifigure behind him for tandem seating, though that's still less accurate than side by side. Because the car is still built on a Speed Champions wheelbase, I still hope it'll be a minor mod to get side by side seating, even though the roof opening is now too narrow to easily access two seats side by side.
Definitely gonna have to wait for 30% off or better clearance sales though.
Smaller, more expensive and looking worse. Way to go.
Crazy how 4 years can make a set more expensive, smaller, and worse.
“I only work in black! And sometimes, very, very dark gray.”
It looks good, absolutely. But having both the 2021 versions (UCS and Minifig) I'll stick with those and bricklink Two-Face at some point to add to the TDK villains collection
First off, HA HA! BATMAN BEGINS is 20 years old next year. Time marches inexorably onward and the once recent past now fades is now but a distant memory. Truly horrifying stuff!
Anyways, great model and great minifigs, but clearly this price is being inflated because LEGO knows this is a model with high appeal to adults (20 YEARS OLD!!!) and minifig collectors since there's no cheap way to get the Ledger Joker and Two-Face is New-Face.
Shame on them for predating on senior citizens in such a way! They need to start offering sets with AARP discounts because we have medications and mobility scooters we need money for, too!

Yup. No matter how hard you try, somehow they always end up ever so slightly skewed....
But I get why it's a sticker. Had it been a print that would have probably pushed the price into 3-digit territory.
As a Marvel fan, I see Two-Face as an opportunity for Harry Osborn customs and nothing more.
Shrinkflation is getting out of hand in 2025
Are they anticipating a crash in the Lego market and trying to squeeze every last penny they can before that happens? The prices on shelves are just insult after insult but this is the kind of insulting price that will stop a parent from buying expensive toys like Lego all together.
This set is being unfairly hated. Price is really bad, but, to be honest, it's getting harder and harder to find a set with good value for money. Minifigs are very good in both sets. Now moving on to the Tumbler, new one has better shape (I mean mainly brake flaps), better balance between tiles and studs and better front tires. One seat inside isn't that bad, because Batman always solo, and smaller size is better for scale with other cars. Any other points to complain about? Maybe the roof is a bit too thick. That's all.
K.A.R.R. : It is the inferior production line model.
I really like the smaller size because it's closer to minifigure scale.
However, the forward rake and other aspects of the shaping are in my view clearly superior on the earlier version. On the whole the earlier one looks appropriately mean and menacing, while this one does... not.
My guess is that before long, someone will post a MOC on Rebrickable that essentially combines the two, giving you much of the older one's aggressive look and posture, in the slightly smaller scale of this newer one.
I was a little ho-hum about the 2021 version when it came out because I’ve never been a big Tumbler fan in general. I wanted the Scarecrow figure though, and I thought the set was a great value for the $40 price. When building, however, it far exceeded expectations. I was amazed at how the designer was able to incorporate so many of the strange angles of the vehicle, along with including side-by-side seats, while keeping it believably in minifig scale. As a result the set became one of my favorite builds that year, and among my favorite Batman sets ever, which I’ve collected since the original 2005 theme.
This new version seems primed to offer the opposite experience. It will feel expensive when you buy it, and after building you’ll feel you didn’t get your money’s worth. There’s even less incentive to buy it for the figures than there was with the previous set since it’s largely the same audience who will be interested at all; here they will be going in with a bad taste in the mouth at the outset, knowing they are paying more money to buy an inferior version of a set they basically already have.
I get that there aren’t many vehicles in the Dark Knight trilogy, and vehicles are what sell, and there aren’t a lot of DC slots for sets each year in the first place (sadly). But 2021 was not that long ago. Some other great Batmobiles have come out, even this year. There are definitely more interesting and creative options that this set could have ran with to make these figures make sense and give more incentive to buy. The most obvious to me would be a truck and trailer set with a detailed version of the Batpod (which to my memory has never really been done in minifig scale). There could perhaps be a flip-over function so you could recreate the very memorable scene from the film. Another might be the truck Joker shoots the Tumbler from leading to the Batpod escape.
After all, everything that happens with Two-Face in that movie happens after the Tumbler is destroyed, so it really does not make a lot of storytelling sense to include him in a Tumbler set — at least not without a Batpod conversion of some kind. Even a two-in-one rebuild! Something different.
sadly inferior in ervery way as the build goes - its just a minifig cash grab set, like most of the superhero sruff
I can’t believe how bad this set is. Smaller wheels, only one passenger seat, significantly more expensive: it’s a disgrace.
At the part of the review talking about the vehicle's internal layout difference, there was honestly only one thing I could think of:
“Batman, why did you build this thing with only one seat?”
“Because last I checked I only had one butt.”

Inflation!
The Joker's hair should be olive green. And why does Two-Face have two black eyebrows? One should be the same as his hair color, and the other one should be gone.

There has never been a comment on Brickset that I agree more with than deathmoth’s. I was going to give my own opinion on this new set but deathmoth said it all.
The shadowbox version of the Tumbler remains my favorite.
I don't know anything about Batman. In fact, I don't think I like Batman. I'm not 100% positive, but I've never liked superheroes to begin with (Marvel or DC), so I do not feel compelled to watch the films or read the comics.
That said, in 2021, I bought 76239 because I thought it looked cool. And I love it! It's a great play set, but it displays well as well. Since then, I've bought every playset scale Batmobiles (plus the Batwing), even though some are overpriced. I really like how my display set looks.
All of that to say I will not be getting that one. It looks good but I'm oerfectly happy with 76239.

I agree with this on every level. The one thing this one did better is scale, but to do that it sacrificed things like actually having a 2-seater cockpit.
I have a feeling Lego threw in another price increase. I am amazed not more people complain about it.
I received a fax telling me there were great discounts on arthritis medication here? Am I in the wrong place?
While the price complains are totally fair, I don't understand why you all care so much about a second seat. In TDK, Batman drives alone. We didn't need a second seat in this model.
I missed the first one. I cannot miss this one too. Perhaps on Amazon's Black Friday on the next year...
LOL. LMAO even. This prices increases and smaller builds are getting ridiculous, inflation can't be the excuse for this anymore.
2 face not having 2 different legs bothers me.
But NOT HAVING at least 1 fig with print/dualmolding? IN SUCH EXPENSIVE SET????
I told you few years ago Lego is testing waters If its ok to make cheap figs.

Yeah right. 50% in four years. Highly realistic.
So I've always seen the Nolan trilogy as very dark--I'm always a little surprised to see that variant of Batman made into kids' sets. Adult collectors, sure, but this set is marked 8+. Do kids get sets of movies they haven't seen, or am I old fashioned and those movies are generally considered fine for an 8 year old, or... ? (Don't get me wrong, I've grown to really enjoy this trilogy, but I was an adult even when it came out).
This is kind of miserable. No batpod anything for the price - and really, so soon after the last, superior (in a vacuum and otherwise), cheaper Tumbler, it needed something batpod - only room for one...that cowl is the real final straw, though. Using it despite the many, many inaccuracies wouldn't be so offensive if they had actually played to its one strength and included a head that resembled Christian Bale, or something - a head that wasn't just the same one they always use, or at least one THAT INCLUDED HAIR. I mean, it's ludicrous that they were varying their bat-heads MORE when they were using a cowl that offered LESS choice for heads to use. I was so excited for this - and I do love that Two-Face figure, mostly - but this is embarrassing. Overpriced, build too kid-forward, inferior in nearly every regard to its recent predecessor, weak figs...it's hard to say something like "this encapsulates everything wrong with modern LEGO!!!" and not feel like a bit of a blowhard, but come on. I mean, it just plainly is.
While I like the villain minifigs, I already have 76239, so feel no need to get this, even if I find it on a discount. And besides, I haven't watched The Dark Knight Trilogy since it was in theaters, so the size inaccuracy doesn't bother me; I didn't even realize such an issue existed. Now, if Lego did a new version of The Bat (because the one from 76001 wasn't terrible, but could definitely be improved upon), they might well get my money, especially if it came with a Catwoman minifig, because otherwise, how likely would I be to get a Lego representation of Anne Hathaway?

Absolutely. I'm not one of those "Every decorated piece should be stickered!" people, but I do wish that every time they wanted decoration on a circular piece, they'd print it.

Kid's toys based on movies that that the kids are too young to see have a long history.

This is hypothetically true, but the Tumbler is also the Batmobile with the most separated windshield of the bunch, so it reads as a two-seater more than other movie Batmobiles do (aside from 66 obviously with its open top). The 89 Batmobile is possibly more famous for seating two, but it got away with only seating one in its Lego incarnations because the shaping of the car gives it a very narrow cabin and the central support of the windshield is so thin that it was easily excised at that scale. The Tumbler is a bulky and wide vehicle, so interior space shouldn't be squandered by having to fit a big firm cape. (That said, I am unsure if a two-seat arrangement could be accomplished with this smaller scale, but that again points to the fact that rigid scale in Lego is a myth best discarded.)

Much like in Transformers: https://tfwiki.net/wiki/Scale Notice the first line of the article, and the fact that one of the categories listed at the bottom of the article is "Things that don't exist."
Similar to others here, I’m a huge fan of the previous set. In terms of design and value it was an absolute winner.
That being said, I do respect the goal of creating a good design at a smaller scale. If I see this set on a healthy discount I’ll probably grab it.
Needs the flame to rotate like in 40433 and 76224.
Although not the most detailed tumbler set 7888 has the most kids play-ability with the 2nd vehicle providing some fun pursuits and old fashioned comic ka-pow, all for around the same number of pieces as this set.

Why are we a getting DOWNGRADE Tumbler?

Have you seen what they've done to SW for the last 5 years?
I would’ve been less upset if they just blatantly re-released the 2021 Tumbler, which I sadly missed out on buying, with new minifigs rather than… whatever this is. I’m baffled.
I've always coveted the Joker minifig from 76023, but the price discouraged me. Thank goodness I waited. Never spend big money on a minifig, no matter how rare or tempting it is.
I feel so lucky that one day that I was at the Lego Store near me and randomly bought the Tumbler Scarecrow Showdown. And that was before I even watched the films!
@M_longer said:

Couldn't agree more. I'd like the minifigs of Joker and Twoface, but even those aren't perfect, and the rubber-cape is a bit of a shocker in my opinion.
The price is absurd in comparison to the 2021 model as well. Hard pass.

If you think that is crazy, apparently you are not a Star Wars LEGO fan.
But yknow it probably has a ton of small pieces making ppp amazing, so y'know, we are wrong about it being expensive.
Basically we are paying a tax for the formerly pricey Joker figure along with a new Two-face. Well Here is to hoping its at least 30% off somewhere.. Maybe have to stake out Walmarts for crazy clearance prices on this one.

Yes. Duplo race cars are my jam!!

Ok.
This is my FINAL statement. LEGO hates DC. LEGO DC is dead. LEGO favours Marvel.
...
What we need is a SPACE theme from TLG. Original theme with UFO / UAP sets.

The most obvious to me would be a truck and trailer set with a detailed version of the Batpod (which to my memory has never really been done in minifig scale).

This!!!
Another set with Batmobile and villain on foot! TLG, that is so dumb!
For example, why we didn't get 76181 with Penguin and his car?
This set's Joker would be great with truck and trailer and Batman on Batpot!
Sad

It makes sense. Like most internet-nerds, Bruce Wayne is obsessed with dressing up as Batman. He's relatable! He's one of us!"
Not to mention his collection of 'wonderful toys'
I wonder how he gets them?

The difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.
Scamming kids with the price! Classy!
Owner of he 2021 version. This feels like a massive step back. It looks boxier and a lot more squat and stubby. It does not capture the sleekness quite as well and looks amazingly uncool as a result. And that price. I don't live an a region that gets regular sales, if any, so I was hurt paying the price I paid in 2021, but this has even more heart-stopping sticker shock! Ouch.
I like the villain minifigures and the size is not that bad when displaying them with other movie cars like 21108, 76911 etc. But as an owner of 76239, I don't see myself spending 70€ on a minifig scale car. Talking about movie cars, that's about the equivalent of 76446 plus 76917 !Also, the last time I checked you can still get a new 76239 for a little over 40€ in Germany. I don't see the need to push this in the market already, other than forcing as much into the market as possible. And probably we're all wrong and there are buyers.

Yeah, sometimes people here seem to think that Lego never does market research.
I think the cowl is brilliant, actually! I've been saying since the original Batman sets released that the cow should have been dual molded. I really disliked "workout headband" Bruce Wayne. Also you can think of the white eyes representing the "bat sonar" vision used in the movie. It's perfect!
Not a hater at all, but to be honest, I want this set to flop. The minifigures are great, yes, but man, the design is so dissatisfying and disappointing. It’s terrible if compared to the previous tumbler, and it doesn’t justify the excessive price. Batman’s cowl looks so innacurate. I think this cowl only fits the animated series, and that’s it. Highly disappointing and overpriced set.
Hot take apparently: I think the cowl does work for when he has his Bat-Sonar activated towards the end of The Dark Knight film. https://batman.fandom.com/wiki/Bat-Sonar_Lenses
