Ok that combo with blue on the top is for sure the most series-accurate, it's just like how it looks in that lighting and probably what Lego should have gone for.
I think they should've done black with dark blue on some of the edges as highlights, I think that would set it apart but still remain the original aesthetic of the BTAS batmobile
From a non-BTAS fan: After looking at some reference picture i think that black is definitely more accurate, but I much prefer the dark blue. We've had so many black Batmobiles, the blue is just nice and refreshing.
Originally I thought this set would've been best in black. However, after seeing your combination of black with the top all in dark blue is amazing. You struck gold with that idea. It perfectly replicates the animation style and is now 100% the way that I'm gonna do mine. Honestly, it's how it should have been done.
Honestly i think blue really resembles the animated series batmobile and fits how it looks so well, even tho its supposed to be black, the blue version gives it so much more nostalgia
I think both work with their own pros and cons. I like the blue, because it's different from every other Lego Batmobile, and BTAS is the only theme that can technically get away with it in this colour.
Thank you so, so much for building this model in black. It’s exactly what I was gonna do and now I’m even more excited to do so! You are THE BEST thank you!
Thankyou! Don’t know why TLG thought it would be a good idea to make it blue! 😂 06:49 yeah that’s kind of how they used orange bricks on the new Barad Dur LOTR set to nightlight the black tower and give the illusion of the eye and the lava glowing and casting light onto the tower!
I wonder what it would look like if it was mainly black but highlighted by dark blue, just like in the show Edit: Thanks for showing this option, Ashnflash. I should've watched the whole video before leaving a comment.
Man, what you did here is amazing! I love the black one, I love the blue one, but I also love the combination build you did! Either way I’m just so excited to get this set in my hands on June 1!
All black looks very good, but the black and blue looks superb, I could see folk spending hours swapping out parts until they get the look they want, full marks for an excellent video!
the problem is lego needs more a darker blue closer to an indigo/black to make it more accurate the black is good but even the kenner toy was slightly grey
Does anyone else think it would be cool to see a batmobile in a really dark metallic red? It could be a reference to how the very first batmobile was just a red car
Personally I liked the choice to make it dark blue in the official set, it makes it unique and lets it stand out from all the other Batmobiles they ever made. But I gotta say it does look much more sleeker in pure black, it's such a great build and it looks better in black. Do LEGO not do variant sets? They could that for this, just duplicate the set, add a "-B" to the set's number or something and call it a different edition
Two things: One) I don't know, I mean the black looks better, but... I don't know, I feel like the blue suits it a little bit more. Like the size of an atom better. Two) As of tonight, I am an official high school graduate! Even though it's one of the biggest moments in my life, I'm still overwhelmed by the fact that I'm leaving.
Hmm that light trick with blue and black mixed is really working. The new Baraddur set has the same logic in the eye section, with black pieces of the tower flipped with browns.
The black looks really strange on its own, because it doesn't look how it looks in the cartoon. Its reminding of the BvS Batmobile set, that car is grey in the film and the set made it black and it's just odd. Yes the car is black in the shows canon, but the artstyle gives it those iconic blue highlights. The blue looks really nice to me, its different to the other Batmobiles and makes it stand out. However, the black with blue mixed in looks excellent and if i had the money i would probably do that. Looks really great.
Black is the accurate color, simple as that. I don't care that every other batmobile is black, they shouldn't make an 89 batmobile dark grey to be different just like they shouldn't make an BTAS batmobile dark blue
Love what you did with the black version. Do you have a list of parts that you had to substitute which weren't avaialble in black? Nice builds! Thanks!
The blue looks like the original series, but this one looks like the re-designed series of season 3 I think. Cuz even his suit was blue in the first series but black in the follow up.
I believe it is blue. I was watching some episodes of the series, and I noticed that the Batmobile is clearly blue. And not even Dick Grayson's eyes, which sometimes appear blue and sometimes appear black.
I guess they made it blue due to that was how they the "light reflection" effect in the cartoons. The batmobile and Batman's cape had blue painted areas
What do you think is better? Black or Blue?
BLACK
I think it should’ve been a mix of both, a really dark blue or black with blue highlights.
That combo one you made at the end is the best one
GREAT ASHNFLASH LEGO BATMAN 🦇 THE ANIMATION SERIES BATOMOBILE SET 👌 PERSONALITY BLACK COLOR.
cool in black
The mix with the blue acting as highlights for the black batmobile looked perfect
Agreed
I concur.
Yup
That's what I was really hoping for when it was announced.
Ok that combo with blue on the top is for sure the most series-accurate, it's just like how it looks in that lighting and probably what Lego should have gone for.
Should have if they cared anymore
The blue is cool because it’s different from all the other batmobiles but black is objectively better for btas
I think they should've done black with dark blue on some of the edges as highlights, I think that would set it apart but still remain the original aesthetic of the BTAS batmobile
Could’ve done blue with one of the million other Batmobile sets
The car is blue in BTAS. Literally every episode.
@@XxAramisxX when Alfred and Bruce literally refer to the Batmobile as a “black car” I’m pretty sure that means it’s black
@@XxAramisxXnope
From a non-BTAS fan: After looking at some reference picture i think that black is definitely more accurate, but I much prefer the dark blue. We've had so many black Batmobiles, the blue is just nice and refreshing.
For me the black with Blue Detailing looked perfect.
The black just keeps it accurate to the series and it’s so well done
It's literally not accurate though
@@CarpetBanana Yes it is. The Batmobile isn't blue, and never has been. You don't understand what color highlights are?
@@hmssirius9343 it's literally seen as solid blue at times in the show
@@CarpetBanana The Batmobile is black. It's called out as black in the show. The blue is highlights.
@@muisverriet they could've called it red in the show and it would still be blue
Not completely black or blue! The mix of both colors is the best option!!! Keeps it accurate to the animated series! WOW!!! O.O
6:02 that sound..

The all-black look is perfection! And the blue&black combo looks really good, and something Lego could’ve made.
The mix with black and blue is the best, it just gives that animated artstyle vibe
The blue and black combo is awesome
Bro that Black Batmobile is just 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
Oh it's PERFECT in black!!
Honestly I like the blue version better. It really stands out in the sea of other Batmobiles
Like the blue but the black on side with blue top makes it look more animated
Honestly i think blue really resembles the animated series batmobile and fits how it looks so well, even tho its supposed to be black, the blue version gives it so much more nostalgia
The mixing of black and blue was just beautiful
I think both work with their own pros and cons.

I am so happy he did this 😭
Thank you so, so much for building this model in black. It’s exactly what I was gonna do and now I’m even more excited to do so! You are THE BEST thank you!
Seeing them side by side definitely the blue one to set it apart
Thankyou! Don’t know why TLG thought it would be a good idea to make it blue! 😂 06:49 yeah that’s kind of how they used orange bricks on the new Barad Dur LOTR set to nightlight the black tower and give the illusion of the eye and the lava glowing and casting light onto the tower!
It’s……………beautiful
That black and blue combo looks absolutely fire.
It was way cooler than I imagined. Next to each other, it makes no sense why they made a dark blue one. Very cool, thanks, Ash
because it’s dark blue in the show lmao
Blue and black mix is perfect.
The black and blue option is INCREDIBLE!!!
Perfection... Great experimentation as we'll...
I love the yellow brick headlights, gives it more realism.
I wonder what it would look like if it was mainly black but highlighted by dark blue, just like in the show
Edit: Thanks for showing this option, Ashnflash. I should've watched the whole video before leaving a comment.
This is exactly what I'm planning to do. Glad to hear the price isn't too far off.
Picking this up tomorrow 😁 super hyped about it to finally have animated series figures and the batmobile is awesome too 😊
I think the blue blends in way better in the style of the animated series
black and blue it looks great
For the lights at the front, you could maybe even trim off the dark blue on the stickers using a very fine blade
Excellent custom design for the black Batmobile!
I like the black one did awesome there
Awesome video ashnflash 😊
Yessss!!! I’ve been waiting to see a MOC on how to improve this set! May consider using your own ways 👀
Excited to watch this :)
Great video, especially adding the clip from the batman animated series confirming the batmobile color is black and not dark blue!
Lego definitely should do blue on black for Bat vehicles from now on
That's chef's kiss right there
$60 for a blue TASM batmobile with stud shooters on top is crazy
The combo one is really cool.
Love the sideways rounded pieces where the stud shooters go. Looks a lot better
That two-tone mix really looks nice. I think that's how I'll display mine
Your Black/Blue combo is cool and kinda hints at the animation shading 👍🏻
The blue top /black body mix is more authentic. Like from "Almost Got Him" . And matches his cowl coloring in the series.
I wish they had a darker blue color that was between that black and blue.
It would be cool if you made a red/pink design from Mask of the Phantasm!
I prefer the dark blue one, but they both look great!
The mix was nice.
Look WAAAYYYYYY better in Black
Oh yeah the combo is nice
Honestly I think the perfect in between would be one that’s mostly black but has different blue parts around for highlights
Man, what you did here is amazing! I love the black one, I love the blue one, but I also love the combination build you did! Either way I’m just so excited to get this set in my hands on June 1!
i like the hybrid of the two using the blue where the light touches and the black elsewhere
Now that’s the BMAS, Great Job 🥳🥳🥳
All black looks very good, but the black and blue looks superb, I could see folk spending hours swapping out parts until they get the look they want, full marks for an excellent video!
Hold the pages steady, Ash! That glare is killing me! 😂
The mixture you should at the end (option 3) was the best!
the problem is lego needs more a darker blue closer to an indigo/black to make it more accurate the black is good but even the kenner toy was slightly grey

The combo color option looks pretty sweet. It looks more like the lighting in the animated series
Storm trooper!? I am boba fet
Black with blue highlights would be good
Great job on the black one, I would have bought that version. The combi version is cool to, but would still get a pure black one.
“…he’s the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now…”
Bro cel shaded the lego Batmobile. I love it
ngl this looks so fire and would totally be down to doing this too! Great vid!
Two things: One) I don't know, I mean the black looks better, but... I don't know, I feel like the blue suits it a little bit more. Like the size of an atom better. Two) As of tonight, I am an official high school graduate! Even though it's one of the biggest moments in my life, I'm still overwhelmed by the fact that I'm leaving.
awesome love it!
I am so glad you did this! I was disappointed in the blue, it didn't make sense
Put a couple of blue bricks on it for cel shading also that’s why people think it’s blue is because of the cel shading it’s black
I love the blue better it’s different and the blue color pops more
Honestly I really dig that blue colour. 🙂
The way i remember the vehicle was it rolling though the streets of Gotham and it would go from Dark Blue to Black as he passed street lights.
I love Batman
Hmm that light trick with blue and black mixed is really working. The new Baraddur set has the same logic in the eye section, with black pieces of the tower flipped with browns.
Disagree with you about the headlights being better as stickers. Your mod looks very nice! Very well done!

The blue looks more like the original animated series, while the black reminds me more of The New Batman Adventures
Black , Nice custom !!
The grey 1x1 round pieces are aligned differently on the black version than the blue
You should put the black and blue on LEGO ideas with the three minifigures!!!!!!! And call it: The Shadowed Knight!!!!!!!
Should do a black with blue highlights, it’d be more accurate
Blue feels a lot more fresh tbh
We need a sliding mechanism for the door of the car/roof.
Blue is more the color of the TAS related toys, but they should have gone with a darker shade, like the color used for the TARDIS and Optimus Prime.
I think black undeniably looks better but I do like the idea of mixing the black and blue for shading.
Black is the accurate color, simple as that. I don't care that every other batmobile is black, they shouldn't make an 89 batmobile dark grey to be different just like they shouldn't make an BTAS batmobile dark blue
The blue was also just done for aestethic in the show so it would stand out from the black background. it should be black.
Love what you did with the black version. Do you have a list of parts that you had to substitute which weren't avaialble in black? Nice builds! Thanks!
i prefer the black one
The blue looks like the original series, but this one looks like the re-designed series of season 3 I think. Cuz even his suit was blue in the first series but black in the follow up.
Could you try the Batman TAS season 4 Batmobile
The black version just kills it.
I believe it is blue. I was watching some episodes of the series, and I noticed that the Batmobile is clearly blue. And not even Dick Grayson's eyes, which sometimes appear blue and sometimes appear black.
I think it being blue is in reference to the old Kenner Batmobile toy from the 90’s
I guess they made it blue due to that was how they the "light reflection" effect in the cartoons.
The batmobile and Batman's cape had blue painted areas
