As anyone who’s spent any time with the ISB knows, the defining comic book of my youth–and my all-time favorite to this day–is Batman #425, in which Batman throws a car battery at an unsuspecting thug.
Now, my good pal Dave Lartigue, whose exploits inspired a few of my own efforts, has recreated my favorite page in glorious LEGO:
Oh man. For comparison, and because I haven’t posted it in almost six months, here’s the original page:
So awesome.
For more–including the awesome Necromancer’s Tower scene and the only Star Wars related content I still love–check out Dave’s Flickr stream. Thanks, Dave!
No sweat! I had a great time putting it all together!
I don’t know why this reminded me of a comic I made when I was still teaching a middle school science class. Yeah, I made goofy drawings and took pictures of them, but I bet it makes you wish I was your science teacher.

Truly we live in a glorious new millenium of LEGO possiblities…
Good work Dave! I have to credit you with me wanting to get back into Legos and going out and getting the Lego Batman Tumbler.
Sadly, I think all my extra Lego imagination died when I turned 12. I can’t bear to break up the sets I have now to try anything new, cause I can’t think of anything awesome like this to do.

1) Take them all apart. Legos are for building, not displaying. (You have the instructions; you can always reassemble them.)
2) Throw all the parts into a nice big plastic bin.
3) Mix them around until a part catches your eye that you want to try to do something with. Then do something with it. Anything, doesn’t matter.
4) Build. Build whatever. It doesn’t have to be stunning. Play with the bricks and you’ll start to see new ways of using them.
5) Check out the “lego” tag on Flickr and you’ll get all kinds of great ideas.
This lego art is seriously very inspiring. It makes me want to go buy some legos and get to building.
This is great…
…but let’s not extend it to Anita Blake sequences, OK?

Just modeling her thighs would use up all my bricks.
Excellent work, Dave! And your first four points (#5) are exactly the way to go. You are a Lego Idol of Millions.

Oh but why not? Shirley someone can find/assemble a Daisy Duke-wearin’ were-rat minifig.
Amazing.
Brilliant!
Who is this talented Shirley Someone?
The motion lines totally rule.
Why is Lego Batman throwing a car battery at Lego Wonder Man?
