Chevrolet is promoting its partnership with Warner Bros’ upcoming take on the Batman series in Lego brick form, with a video ad hinting that Batman is not quite psychologically sound.

The brand held a Lego focus group for the US auto-brand’s take on the trusty Batmobile with “real people”.

Their critique quickly unnerves Batman with "judging by these rocket launchers, this person is kind of defensive" serving as a particularly skewering observation.

A life size model of the Lego Batmobile was also unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show, America’s spiritual home of motoring. It required a total of 30,000 bricks to build. The ad, which comes in 30 and 60 second cuts was created by Chevy agency Commonwealth/McCann.

Also on Chevy.com is a Batmobile customization site – the vehicle comes in 13 unique shades of black.
