The following is a script I composed after rewatching the LEGO Batman Movie and doing some math. I used the instructions of the Ultimate Batmobile and counted piece by piece my deductions from the total parts count. The deduction looks like this:
Instructions deduction: 1456 - 102 (bat signal, Robin, Wicked Witch) - 6 (batman) - 9 (flying monkey 1) - 6 (kickbutler) - 7 (polka dot) - 4 (weapons) - 24 (studs) - 7 (batgirl) - 9 (flying monkey 2) - 3 (bolts)
1456 - 102 - 6 - 9 - 6 - 7 - 4 - 24 - 7 - 9 - 3 =
1279
Now, on with the theory!

Well Benny, a new challenger has approached the stage. Let’s see what happens when Batman gets his hands on some bricks.
[intro]
Hello everybody and welcome back to Brick Theory [maniac4bricks heading], and if you’ve been here from our first video, you’ll remember we had a theory about how fast minifigures in The LEGO Movie can build, . With the recent home release of The LEGO Batman Movie, we can take a moment to rewind and evaluate how well Batman can build in his comedic adventure about family.
Much like the first theory on this subject, we will be using the same strategies on calculating how fast Master Builders can build. Simply put, we’ll highlight the moments in which our minifigures build models in the movies IF and only IF they are real LEGO sets. Well except the Penguin car which is Target exclusive, and Scarecrow delivers pizza only in Walmarts and GOSH why do I have to run around for everything!? And why was Target near me delayed 3 months on getting the Penguin set?? [Sigh relief] Well luckily neither of those two need further discussion. Because this video is all about Batman.
From there we set up our equation: the number of bricks assembled of a LEGO model divided by the number of seconds in which they are shown building. And don’t worry, we will subtract the minifigures and excess builds from each set [crossing out models and figures] to get the exact number of pieces for the movie-accurate models. That is another key component that kept Batman out of the race last time - in The LEGO Movie, he did rebuild models but none of them were sets, so we couldn’t properly track how fast he was building. Now that he has a new arsenal of Bat-vehicles, we have plenty of material to work from. For examples of how our equation plays out, check out our previous video.
After looking through The LEGO Batman Movie, I have found 1 moment in which Batman and the Z-List villains build. The Ultimate Batmobile is easy to calculate because the model is a real set. The Scuttler and batwing (11.05 seconds) don’t count because the set versions are smaller than in movie. So let’s do the math, or rather, watch me do the math in front of a camera: After deductions of minifigures, Bat Signal and weapons, The Ultimate Batmobile model has 1,279 pieces and was built in 10.43 seconds of film time, which gives us a speed of [122.627307392131] 122.63 bricks per second.
If we compare these results to our first brick theory, Benny built his Spaceship Spaceship Spaceship at a rate of 183.3 bricks per second, which is quite the feat to beat . In conclusion, the fastest Master Builder is still Benny! I have to say I am very impressed. Benny beat out the Rogues Gallery who built a vehicle much larger than his own, and yet he was still faster! After 2 years, Benny still holds his place as LEGO Movie building champion for his impeccable speed.
Ah what a difference 2 years make. I remember before Brick Theory was a thing I was going to open a LEGO video segment known then as Topical Tuesday, discussing different things about LEGO sets and themes and my personal take on their information. Though it doesn’t look like I’ve been around long, I am happy with what strides we have made with The Brick Theorists so far and if time gets smoother, we’ll have plenty more to do real soon. For example, other than throwing that behind-the scenes fact out there, we have other fun facts about LEGO to share in a new video series, Weekly Fact of LEGO! Carrying over from my personal channel, this series will offer facts you did but also did not know about our favorite building toy. Stay tuned, subscribed, uhh belled [notification bell on screen], whatever you call it on YouTube, for more information. Each week will have a theme for the video. Starting things off we have a look through all of the home releases of LEGO video leading up to The LEGO Batman Movie. We have plenty LEGO Batman to talk about for facts in the future as well too. We’re far from done with The LEGO Batman Movie as well, so more to stay subscribed for, and be sure to follow our social media so you’ll know when the videos go up no matter where on the Internet you are [logos for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and “links in description!”]. Thank you all so much for watching, we’re happy to get things going and more cool videos coming soon!
