As this thread is getting lively slowly, we are awaiting the leaks this fall. I can’t wait!

Time to get back into the cycle of waiting for the email notifications on this thread, be disappointed when you get one and it isn't a leak or the reveal, and then knowing the reveal is out when you get 60 notifications at once!

Now that the Arkham Asylum has been leaked as an inverted modular compatible with the modular line from the looks of it. Would it fit with the modular line?

Looks like it.

Bigger question is what set will they follow up to this, hence the decision to make it modular?

They de-modularized the Italian Riviera.

I can only see one connection point on the left of the Arkham Asylum, leading me to think that the other is on the opposite side, and it's not a true interested corner, in LEGO's view. The broken fence and watch tower at that side could feasibly by at the front and not connected to anything. I eagerly await now photos of the neck and inside.

I wonder if Lego is testing this Arkham Aslyum as a “true” inverted corner buidling so they could try with offfical Modular Building in future?

Interesting. Official pics of the Asylum will give us a better view. 

@hikoukii think they also demodularized the riviera because of the lego ideas policy of having building but not being modularized.

The connection points are on the back on both sides. Not even sure if the one connection points on the left is supposed to be a connection point.

I don’t think it’s really an inverted modular.  The connection points are not all in place for that. They are in place to make it a normal modular corner, however.   Having now looked at the official images, and the 360 video on Lego.com, its got big holes in the wall designed to look like blast damage, but no bricks to make up those gaps.  Also almost the entire of the rear side is designed to be pulled out in 6 panels, to access 6 of the cells.  A great play feature, but makes it more difficult to site in a modular town.

I’m really very interested in how Lego will make use of the “modularity“ of this set. I mean, with (hopefully) follow up sets, how will those sets connect to this one?
