Let's review some of the most interesting series that the artist has recently uploaded to his Instagram profile:
The Batman
We can affirm that the last Dark Knight movie liked Brickpanda quite a bit. Uploaded a total of 9 images related to this movie. They are all perfectly elaborated, but the most impressive one is undoubtedly the one that recreates that moment in which Alfred is about to open an explosive package that is addressed to Mr. Bruce Wayne.
However, there are other very good moments in the film that the artist has represented with his LEGO figures, such as when he comes upstairs in the club and slams The Penguin against the window, the assassination of the mayor by Enigma or the scene in which the protagonist and Catwoman say goodbye on a motorcycle.
Matrix
Also the artist has published several very funny images of the Matrix. Among them we can see the mythical rooftop fight from the first film from multiple different perspectives, as well as the scene where Morpheus explains to Neo that humans are being used by machines as batteries.
Of course, the funniest is the one that represents the Neo's meeting with The Architect en Reloaded, that scene that we have seen dozens of times to be able to fully understand it.
Star Wars
Brickpanda is not the first artist to recreate scenes from Star Wars with LEGO figures, but that does not mean that it is not an equally spectacular job. If we have left Star Wars for last, it is because its images They look like they're straight out of the LEGO Star Wars video games. So much so that there are quite a few users who ask him in each publication if they are renders.
