Sure. The other corner Modular’s we’ve gotten such as the garage, the Boutique hotel, the Sanctum Sanctorum, and Tudor corner are all designed to connect to other buildings like a typical street corner. When Arkham was first announced, I expected it to resemble the garage and maintain that same corner layout but be designed in the shape of an L with the corner of the street being a wide open courtyard. Instead, Arkham is designed like this:

I think the Minecraft picture is just a fan submission, I wouldn't take that size or shape into speculation.

I assume it will only be on 1 baseplate with a inverted corner like the Minecraft picture maybe more rounded if Lego can do that, with 2 floors and a roof with a gat at an angle from the inverted corner

Minecraft_goat is a pretty reliable leaker and he more or less confirmed in the comments that he got the image of the set from another reliable leaker. It’s definitely a recreation of the set in Minecraft.

Gotta applaud the idea to apply the “I did [bad thing] …in Minecraft” meme to leaks  We need more of this!

The layout looks great. The inverted corner design evokes the imposing nature of the building really well and sets on baseplates are always welcome ^^

I would not be able to verbalise it, but I understand now, thank you

Exabricks has leaked some of the Marvel 2026 sets. He skipped over 76334, but the next four (76335-76338) are all Marvel. We’ll have to wait for part 2 of the list, but it looks like we may actually be getting another DC set next January. LEGO DC IS BACK!!!

@Lego_Minecraft_Goat has said that there are no DC sets in January 😭😭

He also says that there may be 4 in the summer. But he’s not sure if those are just more Doomsday sets.

 

Chat? Is Arkham one last hurrah? Are we going to re-Aslume?

DC: Releases a movie that is more popular and successful than the year’s Marvel releases

Lego: Nah we’re good, we’re gonna actually make even less DC sets

Lego never fails to disappoint us when it comes to superheroes

Lego DC will have zero sets warming the shelves next year. Lego DC is back and better than ever!

Us: Lego must feel pretty stupid about skipping Superman now that it’s such a big hit!

Lego: Here’s an insane asylum. Trust us, you’re gonna need it.

Superman mech: flies off the shelves

Lego: did you say more spider-man mechs?

Seeing that $10 Ghost Rider bike rumour makes me lament how awesome a Bat-Pod set at the same price point with a TDKR Batman and Bane would be

DC is so back!!!!!! …to where we were in 2021. *sigh*

Not even a Joker mech?? 
Guess I’ll build Arkham one bag each year and pretend we still get sets

The year where it'll be just like part of the wall with a security guard is gonna be a bit of a downer

Looking like it, kinda funny a DC movie, aimed for families doing well is gonna be the last straw for lego cutting the theme cold turkey.

Do we think it'll be like 2021 in that there's a random Batman set like last time, not indicative of the end but shows it's status as a non-priority when big Marvel movies eat up the budget or that the prediction is finally true and it's been folded into icons

Yeah but next year when I get the 4+ Batman and can put some tiles on the baseplate will be good 😂

[BatDeanj]

I mean there will be sets for Batman part 2 and brave and the bold. I don’t see Lego cancelling the theme unless the DCU flops and there are no more Batman media to pull from. 
personally the only set I’ve really wanted was a large Arkham and we are actually getting that

buddy, us DC fans are hopeful each year to get 3 average sets at best to get 0, is an absolute kick to the nuts, the amount of crap Lego invests in crap new themes only to fail, makes it even more disappointing that they could of spent there money on a Superman set.

this makes sense, if anything 4 sets is the yearly average and then thrown n 1 or 2 unique sets plus half a dozen megazine polybags that's the DC theme in a nutshell.

the joke is a reality.

 

Marvel can keep getting there 2nd spiderman cars and 4th miles mechs.

I’d be willing to wager they want to produce a Bat-Pod eventually, but haven’t figured out an appropriately scaled and stable build for it. Puts salt on the wound knowing they made a buildable figure scaled one though, although I suppose that’s easier to accomplish.

But yeah the lack of DC sets next year sucks.

Rebrickable has about 10 different designs,  all they need to do is add a new Batman and Joker design and there it is.

To be precise, they made a large-scale Bat-Pod scaled to the large-scale Tumbler (it uses the same tires, as it should). The buildable figure is actually much too large for the Bat-Pod or the Tumbler, but the scale mismatch is acceptable for play purposes.

Amazing how this thread has kept pace with the Marvel one just off us talking about how much Lego hates DC.

I always excused the lack of sets with DC‘s box office woes, but now that they finally catch a break, they *reduce* the output  Granted, the film just came out so it takes a while for them to react, so there might be more sets next August.

If there‘s still a lackluster output in next year‘s 2HY, then I will have to agree that them hating DC is a viable explanation

As long as they can keep pumping out 4+ Batman vs. Joker sets and $300+ D2C stuff that appears to keep selling well, I don't see it ever getting cancelled.  At the very least, LEGO having the license means that Mattel's building brick brand or another competitor can't get it.

Don't people say the standard development time is 1.5 years? Even No Way Home didn't get it's spoiler set until 1.5 years after release, and that movie made about three times as much as even some of the more optimistic projections for superman.

I'd say it won't be until 2027 where we'd be able to tell whether or not lego was changing course. (And of course not with a superman movie wave unless the box office magically swells to $1.5 bil or something, just, like, an actual wave in which at least a few of the sets include heroes besides batman and his family.)
