The Best Lego Sets for Marvel and DC Fans

No matter how old you are, you can enjoy LEGO. And what better way to enjoy it than with your favorite Marvel or DC-themed builds.

Marvel or DC comics. Which is best? The debate rages on across the decades, as legions of new fans swarm to either side of the superhero fence.

Whether you're a fan of Marvel or DC—or both, you're almost certainly a fan of LEGO. And if so, good news! The home of the world's most famous building brick has crafted some amazing sets to celebrate your favorite comic book heroes and villains.

There's the perfect kit for every Marvel and DC fan these days. So, there's no need for bad blood or arguments between the fan bases anymore. Now you can put aside your differences and build bridges together. Or Batmobiles. Or Infinity Gauntlets. You get the idea.

Here are the best LEGO sets for Marvel and DC fans.

Putting aside the fact that most Marvel fans would be hard-pressed to remember what S.H.I.E.L.D. actually stands for (should have included extra LEGO...duh!), most are familiar with their ‘eyes in the sky’, the famous Helicarrier base.

This kit has 2,996 pieces and will take you significantly more time to build than it would to watch it crash and burn in a re-watch of Captain America and the Winter Soldier. Included with this impressive sky base are three model quinjets, three fighter jets, one gasoline truck, two forklift trucks, and five minifigures!

This superstructure measures 80 centimeters long and 45 centimeters wide when fully assembled, so it might be worth deciding where it’s going to go before you build it! This is an Avengers-level build, and you might need to draft in some help with this one.

A fantastic and super-sized LEGO Marvel kit recommended for ages 16 and up. Just take care not to lose any of the pieces while building it—you’ll be Nick Fury-ous with yourself otherwise!

Holy nostalgic LEGO sets, Batman! This is a recreation of the Batcave from the classic 1960s Adam West and Burt Ward Batman TV show, lovingly recreated in LEGO form. It has 2,526 pieces in total, which include all the component parts to build the classic Batmobile and Bat copter as well.

This kit features a helipad for the Bat copter, the Bat computer, and the famous Bat poles that the dynamic duo regularly descended from Wayne Manor. An assortment of Batman minifigures are also included, including four of your favorite Bat villains.

Perfect for anyone with fond childhood memories of watching the Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder swinging into action; this old-school Batcave DC LEGO kit will help you relive every kapow, zwap, and whamm! So fasten your safety Bat Belts and strap yourselves in for this LEGO-led trip down memory lane!

Unless your favorite type of tumbler is the kind that whiskey gets poured into, chances are that this Dark Knight Trilogy Batmobile is the first thing you’re likely to think of at the mention of the word.

Based on military-grade tech in the trilogy, and then spray-painted jet black by Bruce Wayne (obviously), this tumbler was a Batmobile for a darker, more serious collection of films. More like a tank than a car, this was a fascinating design that has now been comprehensively rebuilt with a LEGO shell.

This kit has 2,049 pieces and comes complete with minifigures of Christian Bale’s Batman and Heath Ledger’s Joker. You even get a Dark Knight Tumbler plaque in this kit, which gives you the specifications of the ‘real-life’ vehicle.

From the armored casing to the cockpit controls, every detail here has been lovingly crafted. This kit looks awesome once completed and is an absolute must for fans of the grittiest Batman trilogy so far.

This is the DC LEGO kit that Gotham deserves, and is also the one it needs right now!

Whether you’re allowed to call him Stephen, or whether you have to just call him Sir instead; Doctor Strange is fast becoming one of the most important characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And his home, the Sanctum Santorum, is a key location of many of the newer Marvel movies, as events in the storylines become more mystical in nature.

This 2,708-piece LEGO Marvel set is a highly detailed replica of New York City’s most magical of townhouses. It has three storeys to build and is a fully 360-degree model with intricate detail the entire way around.

Interiors are just as special, with rooms and sets to build straight out of the movies. You’ll find neat little nods to your favorite MCU films dotted throughout the Sanctum Santorum’s LEGO-lined walls, and there are nine minifigures included—from Avengers: Infinity War and Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness.

A great Marvel LEGO set for fans of the Sorcerer Supreme.

Now one of the most recognizable props in movie history, Thanos’s Infinity Gauntlet is presented here in LEGO form. Amongst its 590 pieces, you’ll find all six Infinity Stones to bejewel the golden gauntlet.

Once assembled this Avengers prop will measure over 12 inches tall, and comes complete with its own presentation stand. Perfectly balanced, as all things should be, this stand will ensure your blip-inducing bad guy glove doesn’t topple over.

Sadly, this LEGO Avengers set doesn’t enable you to actually wear the gauntlet itself; but that’s probably a good thing, considering the amount of damage that the last guy did.

With fully articulated fingers, you can position them in a cheerful wave to welcome guests into your home to admire it, or use them to make a subtle gesture when it might be time for them to leave.

Ooooh, snap!

Anybody familiar with the Batman comics will know how much of a big deal the work of Jim Lee is. In a great twist on the more conventional DC LEGO and Batman LEGO sets, this building kit has you recreating an iconic piece of his artwork—with LEGO!

This LEGO art kit is made up of 4,167 tiny pieces, and will require a dexterous hand to complete; making this one for grown-ups to enjoy. Made to be displayed, this DC LEGO portrait kit is designed to be hung on your wall for all to see.

While this is the Batman version, this is actually one of a three-piece collection, with Joker and Harley Quinn LEGO wall décor sets also available. And the box itself features a QR code that once scanned, takes you to a two-hour Batman-themed soundtrack to immerse yourself in as you build.

A great spin on the norm by LEGO and perfect for Batman fans looking for something a little different. This is one piece of art that even Jack Napier wouldn’t want to deface!

A LEGO Marvel set for younger fans, this adorable Baby Groot kit is bound to melt their hearts. This 476-piece kit should still represent a fun challenge for them without becoming too taxing and makes for a great poseable toy once built.

Junior Master Builders will get a Groot name plaque with this kit, as well as a LEGO-made ‘Awesome Mix’ cassette tape from the movie. Perfect for pretend disco-dancing to.

Just like the pint-sized Guardian himself, the name of the game here is fun. And there’s no doubt that kids will have tons of it building their very own Baby Groot. A super Marvel LEGO set for anybody aged 10 and up.

They Am Groot. Or something.

Where does he get those wonderful toys? From LEGO, of course! This super cool DC LEGO set is based on the Batwing from the 1989 Tim Burton classic Batman movie and has 2,363 pieces to it.

Also included in the kit is a sturdy presentation stand, a Batwing nameplate, and three minifigures; Batman, Jack Nicholson’s Joker, and Bob the Goon!

The design famously shares the same outline as the famous curved Bat symbol, and this has been recreated brilliantly here, despite the blocky nature of the LEGO blocks. And the final product will look equally cool hanging from the wall.

Anybody old enough to remember when Batman was first released in theaters in 1989 will remember the sheer thrill of seeing this iconic vehicle take to the skies of Gotham City. And the chance to build one of your very own is just too good to miss!

It beats staying at home washing your tights, in any case.

The rivalry between Marvel Comics and DC Comics originated as small arguments between the respective writers, making claims that their counterparts were stealing characters and ideas from one another.

DC Comics was first released in 1934, making it five years older than Marvel. It was first published under National Allied Publications. It was changed to DC Comics much later in 1977, whose inspiration came from their popular series Detective Comics, which featured Batman.

Spider-Man. Spider-Man redefined what a superhero could be, and although many have followed in his footsteps, he's still number one, definitively at Marvel and arguably anywhere else.
