Description

A picture, not a model

Unlike most LEGO sets, Brick Sketches doesn't build a three-dimensional scene but a flat, pixel-art-style portrait, closer to a mosaic than a traditional build, finished off with a small display stand. At 115 pieces, the build stays compact, but it still needs careful placement of individual studs to keep the finished image looking clean. This format suits fans who'd rather build a wall piece or shelf display than a vehicle or building, and it sets the set apart from most other DC releases.

Black, white, tan and yellow

The 54 unique parts are dominated by black, white, tan and yellow, a limited palette typical of the high-contrast look Brick Sketches portraits go for. For builders after small, flat tile pieces in these colours, this set is a decent source, since many of the parts are simple basic shapes. The parts list on this page shows exactly how many pieces of each colour go into the finished portrait.

Not a set for minifigure fans

Since Brick Sketches skips minifigures entirely, this set is aimed more at display collectors and comic fans than at builders looking for a traditional play set. The appeal lies in the finished image itself, which pairs well with other Brick Sketches portraits, for example as part of a growing collection of comic or film characters. Anyone who already owns other sets in the line can add Batman as another wall piece or shelf display without much extra planning.

Compact and quick to build

At 115 pieces, the set can be finished in a short sitting, making it a pleasant project between larger builds rather than a major undertaking. The low piece count also keeps it affordable for anyone wanting to try the Brick Sketches line before committing to several different characters. Once built, the included stand makes it easy to place Batman on a shelf or desk straight away, with no extra frame or mount required.
