LEGO Batman Party. LEGO party ideas including invitations, games, recipes, favors, and more to inspire you to throw an amazing party!
My son turned 5 last month and I had been busy planning his LEGO Batman party for some time. Now, I can finally show you how it all came together! It was so much fun. I really enjoyed doing this one, even though it was difficult.
There is almost zero LEGO Batman stuff out there. Even regular Batman stuff is hard to come by. But this worked out well for me since I got to put my creative talents to good use.
LEGO Batman Party Ideas
Check out all the ideas below on how to throw an amazing LEGO Batman birthday party!
LEGO Batman Party Invitations
Every party starts with an invitation. I made these LEGO Batman invitations on the computer and had them printed on photo paper at my local Walgreens.
LEGO Batman Decorations
I made some superhero action words to decorate around the food table and the cardboard buildings we used for a photo booth-type display.
I lucked out since his party was in October, and there were Halloween decorations in all the stores. I also purchased some foam bats and a Martha Stewart bat garland from Jo-Anns.
You can’t get a really great view of them in the pictures, but I used these LEGO heads made from baby food jars around the table.
LEGO Batman Party Food
I matched each jar “head” with the food labels I came up with. These labels were all based on the foods I was planning on making.
- Poison Ivy Produce – veggie tray with dip
- An apple a day keeps the Penguin away – apple slices with caramel – this one was a really far stretch, but I couldn’t come up with anything else that would go with the Penguin
- Two Face relies on his coin to decide – So what will it be, chips or no chips? – tortilla chips and sour cream and onion chips
- Bat Cakes – cupcakes
- Cat Woman Claws – chocolate-covered pretzels
- Joker Juice – Punch
- Mr. Freeze Cream – ice cream (for easy serving, pre-freeze scoops in cupcake liners)
- Riddle Me this – Guacamole or Bean Dip with your chips? – guacamole and bean dip
To make it easy on myself and not have to create a really elaborate cake, I created some really easy Batman cupcake liners to decorate the cupcakes with.
I also cut out and glued a bat symbol onto some plastic yellow cups. It was a fun little touch to the drink area.

LEGO Batman Party Games
Enjoy these five ideas for party games to play at a Batman party.
Mr. Freeze Game
I used a Batman action figure, placed him on a 9 x 13 baking sheet, filled it with water, and froze it. The kids had to unfreeze Batman with squirt guns.
This game kept the kids occupied for at least 30 minutes. Since it was just a big hit – this may have to be a new staple for our party games, just adapted to a new theme. I found the idea for this at Green Jello.
Man-bat Bean Bag Toss
I sewed some superhero bean bags to use in this game. Then, I drew Man-Bat onto a piece of poster board, colored him in, and attached him to a cardboard box behind the hole to hold him up.
Use your superhero powers (bean bags) to knock out Man-Bat!
Pin the Bat Symbol on Batman
I purchased this game from Party City. It is your typical ‘Pin the tail on the donkey’ game but with a Batman-style twist.
Superhero Photo Booth
I had this one all ready to go but didn’t end up getting great pictures because we waited until the end of the party to try to take them. I recommend if you try to take staged photos you do it at the beginning when each guest arrives, especially if you are dealing with smaller kids.
I hung a piece of blue fabric that looked like the sky on our fence. I created some skyline buildings using black and white posterboard and some more action signs.
Piñata
Last but not least, almost all our parties end with a piñata. I couldn’t find anything Batman themed, so I went with a number 5 for my son’s birthday.
My daughter had to be like the big kids and have the blindfold on! It was so funny!
LEGO Batman Party Favors
Each child got a superhero cape, bat mask, glow bracelet, bat ring, and a 3D LEGO sticker. The capes I sewed myself and I also made the bat masks.
I created a treat bag station for the kids to grab their goodies. Normally I do this at the end of the party, but I wanted the kids to be able to dress up for the whole party with their capes and masks.
I had to use so much tape to hang the sign because it ended up being so windy the day of the party.
My son was already over me taking pictures at the beginning of the party!
The party ended up being so much fun. I think everyone had a good time.
If you are throwing a LEGO Batman party, you can find more ideas that I didn’t end up using here on my LEGO Batman Party Pinterest board. Whew! I am glad birthdays are only once a year!
Thank you Laura !!! You are a life saver!
My son is turning 6 and when asked chose to have a Lego Batman party over Disneyland!!! These ideas are great, thank you so much!
Great! I am so glad you are getting some for his party. My son had so much fun at this party. Luckily there is a little more pre-made items available for the Lego Batman theme now, but it is still fun to create party decorations! xo, Laura
Great ideas! Thanks for sharing. I love the pic of him opening his Ninjago set. New obsession!! ; ) That was the order for my son. Cars, Batman, Lego Batman, NINJAGO! lol
Lego Batman was last year and this year we are doing a Lego Ninjago party. :)
for the freeze game, did you use warm water in the squirt guns? I didn’t know if it mattered or not. Thanks.
We just used water straight from the hose. It was not warm. I think if you wanted to speed up the process, you could certainly use warm water. It was nice that it kept the kids occupied for a while so I would probably recommend cold water! :)
Just found your blog. Thanks for these great ideas! My middle son turns 5 in a few days and I’m looking for last minute ideas. Thanks!
You have some really great ideas here. My son LOVES batman. We will be using some of these ideas. Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome! It was a fun party to do. Have fun with your party!
I just pinned this as an idea for my twins’ 9th bday party. LEGO parties are so fun and easy. Thanks for sharing this!
