The LEGO<\/a> Group is returning to Christopher Nolan\u2019s Dark Knight trilogy this year, but these custom LEGO minifigures<\/a> of Batman<\/a> and Joker are arguably better than the real deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christian Bale\u2019s Batman<\/a> and Heath Ledger\u2019s Joker from 2014\u2019s 76023 The Tumbler are still among the LEGO<\/a> Group\u2019s best DC<\/a> Super Heroes minifigures to date, and they\u2019re both getting an update in November\u2019s 76240 Batmobile Tumbler<\/a>. But while their prints are more detailed, the pieces used are exactly the same \u2013 including Batman<\/a>\u2019s all-purpose cowl and Joker\u2019s green hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no denying they\u2019re still great minifigures, particularly within the constraints of official LEGO<\/a> characters, but that doesn\u2019t mean there isn\u2019t room for improvement. And that\u2019s where custom LEGO minifigures<\/a> come in \u2013 or more specifically, Instagram user iyan.ha.58<\/a>\u2019s custom Batman<\/a> and Joker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most obvious enhancements are Batman<\/a>\u2019s custom cowl element, which is a much better fit for the rounded shape of its source material, and Joker\u2019s green hair, which is longer and wilder than the official LEGO<\/a> piece. But the improvements these custom LEGO minifigures<\/a> offer run even deeper than those, in small and subtle design techniques that really bring out the personalities of these iconic characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
