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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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!
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.
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
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
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!
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
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.
Dark blue is accurate to the series. It's probably because of the lighting in the show, but the car is blue. For accuracy, dark blue is the right choice. For style, either color works pretty well.
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!
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.
I think the animated Batman batmobile is actually supposed to be black. However, for animated style and purposes to be able to show off the vehicle in more detail and less of a large black block, blue was used. I just rewatched "Heart of Ice" episode and the batmobile looks blue pretty much like this new Lego set. Instead of changing the batmobile to black, I think the Batman figure should actually have the blue added to it instead. Again, in the animated series, Batman is depicted stylistically as blue in color.. which I prefer As the color scheme looks more old school Batman that had blue, grey and yellow with smaller bits of black detail. However, I like the other detail improvements you made to the batmobile which may be worth doing to the original blue version of the Lego set. Like the more detailed and accurate manifolds coming out of the upper front sides.. presumably out of whatever front mounted engine is under the front hood. Kind of dig the 2-tone version u played with. It kind of look more right in both black and blue. The only other detail I think may need to be added, if possible, would be the red tail lights that I believe are at the upper tips of the rear side fins/wings. May not be able to replace it with decent Lego pieces. So, perhaps a red decal to indicate this might be better.
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.
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 much prefer blue. It stands out and replicated the "look". Comic iron man is meant to be gold but its best to make him yellow. Batman's own cape, the inner dark blue. Its not meant to be double sides its just to replicate the look. Plus with all the mocs i think blue stands out. If i want black I'd pick a sleeker moc
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
I still feel like the older Batman cowl piece like the one they made for Batman v Superman, better represents his look in the animated series. Very few, if any Batman cowls have pronounced chinstraps, and the fact that Batman’s chin is exposed is one of the more defining aspects of the design of the Animated Batman.
This is how it should’ve been. Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice to have a blue Batmobile for a change, but it comes across like they looked at a picture of the Batmobile in the show without the context and said “oh I guess his car is blue in this cartoon” without knowing that it’s black and the blue shading. And even if it’s an artistic choice, I still think black just looks a little bit better.
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
As good as that all black custom looks, I'll have to just settle for the blue one. Highlighting the black one with the dark blue pieces looks sick tho. Now I'm wishing they made it black to begin with and gave us the dark blue highlights as stickers or prints to really sell the cartoon shaded look.
I prefer the blue one. I think it's too bright for the Batmobile, but apparently black makes it look very cheap (maybe because the other Batmobiles are mostly made of black), and the mixed colors in the second half look tacky from some angles. That's just my feeling. The official blue looks very stylish. I support the official color! (I have watched almost every episode of TAS, including the 00:30 episode!)
For your upcoming visit to the LEGO convention in Denmark, do you have what's prepared (i.e.: a better audio microphone, the missed content, and if they are going to make a Super Legacy set)?
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
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 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
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
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.

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
Bro that Black Batmobile is just 🤌🏾🤌🏾🤌🏾
Oh it's PERFECT in black!!
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 blue and black combo is awesome

Like the blue but the black on side with blue top makes it look more animated
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
For the lights at the front, you could maybe even trim off the dark blue on the stickers using a very fine blade
The mixing of black and blue was just beautiful
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!
Honestly I like the blue version better. It really stands out in the sea of other Batmobiles
This is exactly what I'm planning to do. Glad to hear the price isn't too far off.
Seeing them side by side definitely the blue one to set it apart
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 :)
It’s……………beautiful
Picking this up tomorrow 😁 super hyped about it to finally have animated series figures and the batmobile is awesome too 😊
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.
Hold the pages steady, Ash! That glare is killing me! 😂
The black and blue option is INCREDIBLE!!!
I love the yellow brick headlights, gives it more realism.
The blue top /black body mix is more authentic. Like from "Almost Got Him" . And matches his cowl coloring in the series.
$60 for a blue TASM batmobile with stud shooters on top is crazy
Perfection... Great experimentation as we'll...
I am so happy he did this 😭
It would be cool if you made a red/pink design from Mask of the Phantasm!
That black and blue combo looks absolutely fire.
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
Awesome video ashnflash 😊
I think the blue blends in way better in the style of the animated series
Great video, especially adding the clip from the batman animated series confirming the batmobile color is black and not dark blue!
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
Blue and black mix is perfect.
Lego definitely should do blue on black for Bat vehicles from now on
That's chef's kiss right there
Honestly I think the perfect in between would be one that’s mostly black but has different blue parts around for highlights
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!
I wish they had a darker blue color that was between that black and blue.
black and blue it looks great
Excellent custom design for the black Batmobile!
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
That two-tone mix really looks nice. I think that's how I'll display mine
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.
Love the sideways rounded pieces where the stud shooters go. Looks a lot better
I like the black one did awesome there
Your Black/Blue combo is cool and kinda hints at the animation shading 👍🏻
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
Dark blue is accurate to the series. It's probably because of the lighting in the show, but the car is blue. For accuracy, dark blue is the right choice. For style, either color works pretty well.
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 prefer the dark blue one, but they both look great!
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.
i like the hybrid of the two using the blue where the light touches and the black elsewhere
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.

However, the black with blue mixed in looks excellent and if i had the money i would probably do that. Looks really great.
The combo color option looks pretty sweet. It looks more like the lighting in the animated series
Storm trooper!? I am boba fet
The grey 1x1 round pieces are aligned differently on the black version than the blue

Look WAAAYYYYYY better in Black
The combo one is really cool.
The mixture you should at the end (option 3) was the best!
The blue was also just done for aestethic in the show so it would stand out from the black background. it should be black.
Oh yeah the combo is nice
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.
Disagree with you about the headlights being better as stickers. Your mod looks very nice! Very well done!
Why do your hands always be shakin?
He has a neurological condition he has explained in several past videos
@@connorquirbach7558 oh, what video did he mention it in?
You have the part “6262085: PLATE 1X1X2/3, OUTSIDE BOW” wrong at the top of the blue one
Yeah, I noticed that too.
“…he’s the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now…”
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 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.
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
awesome love 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.
The blue looks more like the original animated series, while the black reminds me more of The New Batman Adventures
You should put the black and blue on LEGO ideas with the three minifigures!!!!!!! And call it: The Shadowed Knight!!!!!!!
I much prefer blue. It stands out and replicated the "look". Comic iron man is meant to be gold but its best to make him yellow.
Batman's own cape, the inner dark blue. Its not meant to be double sides its just to replicate the look.
Plus with all the mocs i think blue stands out. If i want black I'd pick a sleeker moc
Now that’s the BMAS, Great Job 🥳🥳🥳

Bro cel shaded the lego Batmobile. I love it
The mix was nice.
I love Batman
We need a sliding mechanism for the door of the car/roof.
I love the blue better it’s different and the blue color pops more
