**Claim:** "LEGO Is Releasing a Limited-Edition 'Legacy of the Dark Knight' Set Featuring a Functional Miniature Gotham City Power Generator That Actually Glows in the Dark Using Real Uranium-Infused Plastic."
Claim: “LEGO is releasing a limited-edition ‘Legacy of the Dark Knight’ set featuring a functional miniature Gotham City power generator that actually glows in the dark using real uranium-infused plastic.”
Verdict: FAKE
Why it’s false:
- No official announcement: LEGO has never produced consumer bricks with uranium (though vintage toy companies like Lionel used it in train parts decades ago).
- Safety regulations: Modern LEGO plastic is rigorously tested; uranium-infused plastic would violate global safety and shipping laws.
- Misleading tone: The viral clip uses AI-generated “glowing” footage of a Batman statue, spliced with a deepfake of a LEGO designer saying “toxic but exciting.”
- Origin: The rumor started on a parody toy blog on April 1st, but still circulates on TikTok as a “LEGO insider leak.”
Real context: LEGO did release a “Batman: Legacy” set in 2023 (Arkham Asylum), but it uses standard ABS plastic and no dark-glowing gimmicks. Stay skeptical of anything claiming “radioactive” collectibles from the Danish company.
