Why did they choose bane and killer croc if they were in jumpsuits? They have to do a new print for the head anyway so why not use mad hatter or hush they fit the frame of the others wearing jumpsuits better?

wait I thought ivy was the only one we knew was in a jumpsuit?

Do we think Bane and maybe croc will be big figs or minifigure scale? Looking at the Thing I can see them both being minifigure scale which sucks for Bane

All the Villains leaked are all the villains from the 2006-2008 waves (missing two face), does this hint at a remake of the 2006 wave for the 20 year anniversary? I'm sure most of them will be in next years sets to reuse the faces anyway...

Its on the brick tap discord. Batman Robin Batwoman Batwing Joker Harley Quinn Catwoman Mr Freeze Penguin Poison ivy Riddler Scarecrow Bane Killer Croc 2 guards the building is on a baseplate and an "inverter corner" shape. Also I think there was rumour of ivy and croc in jumpsuits at least I'm interested to see how they do this they can only reuse batman, joker, mr freeze and maybe Harley. Everyone else will get new prints or purist. Penguin and Catwoman are weird choices, they are not mentally insane to be in an asylum and they cant be reused we haven't had them since 2020. They should have been mad hatter and ventriloquist and I'm surprised there isn't more staff even Harleen or Professor Strange

That's a lot of the bat family for an arkham set. I recon it will be 3 bat family members batman(obs), batwing (basically confirmed) robin/batgirl 5 villains - joker(obvs), mr freeze (rumoured), ivy, scarecrow, mad hatter, all in jumpsuits 4 staff, Harleen(not purist), 2 guards(new torso reused everything else), warden sharp(pursit)

More info - According to unibricks - Mr freeze is in the set. Makes sense as he can be reused for it.

oh ok that makes sense, So there's a good chance batwing will have wings rather than a cape as well.

Why has he got a white face? every batwing depiction has him black or am I wrong? Glad it basically confirms its based on the comics

But a £100 Batmobile from a 30 year old film is safer….

If its coming out on September 9th. when will the official reveal likely be 9th august?

I'm surprised there been no new info other than the price and piece count since November. For the shadow box the picture of the penguin leaked like 4 months in advance and we knew it was only Returns rather quickly With Arkham there has been nothing really, I hope we get something soon like this month and then leaked pictures late july/august. I hope this isnt a worrying sign

Really do need a minifigure list long overdue everything else this year has one by now I’m pretty sure

I just hope Arkham is good. Either go out with a bang or hopefully see more location based sets not just another Batmobile but more expensive All I ask is a full building with a back wall, gothic, 1 new character and better than 2013 one. To me that is a win

I doubt it will change from arkham. I think realistically it will be a modular set similar to X Mansion or Sactum, have 12 figures, 4 of which are reused, 3 are pursits, and most of the other new ones have the same jumpsuit with a new face print. But I hope they don't use jumpsuits. really hope we get a figure list soon, other D2CS have, like the black pearl.

Isn’t the superheroes license linked? So if they cancel DC they would cancel marvel which they obviously won’t do for years. I do think we will get a bat cave with the brave and the bold movie

As we got all the August superhero sets revealed in may 1st. do we think we will get the September ones (Arkham) in early June?

https://www.bricklink.com/v3/designer-program/series-5/1788/The-Mysterious-Mansion Do we think Arkham could be similar in size and layout to this? it has over 3k pieces so a little bigger but if you take away the car and other bits it might be the same that would be so cool Is this a realistic expectation?

Do we know if a promo set is off the table or just unknown for Arkham? are they normally rumoured with a set?

Facts

This years one. on its own its very generic nothing really unique to TDK . The suit and hair make it TDK version I agree they cant use the torso. Only because they need to pick figures and parts from existing sets and outside of batman, joker, freeze and maybe Harley there's nothing else. With the reasonable same print budget as the x mansion they will need to reuse more figures or create "purist" figure like they done with max shrek. (which I can see them using for the warden if he's in it)

I can see Batman getting a new torso. As every 18+ batman set has a unique batman made for it. The shadow box had a polybag of it being the only exception still amazed by that. But I wouldn't mind if it was a reuse. and yeah I agree joker, freeze and two face's head will probably be reused. I can see Harleen being made and maybe they have a Harley Quinn outfit as well maybe not. so just leaves 7-12 figures left with approx 5 new prints budget each for head torso and legs.

I mean we all know 2 of them are Batman and joker

I think the Leak of 10-15 minifigures proves its not microscale. As the skyline had 4. 10 figures without anywhere to put them in the set wont happen

. I highly doubt Arkham is microscale it makes no sense. obviously there's no actual proof until it revealed probably in august. The only "concrete" thing we know is its Arkham Asylum, around 3k pieces 10-15 figures coming in September and I heard a leak saying its comic based. I would set your expectations similar to either the x mansion or the sanctum with less than 15 figures and decent enough modular but not as impressive as the tower or bugle. But this is the set I've wanted for so long and I'm so excited. To me the only requirement is its got to be better than the 2012 one. I'm probably going to get 2 to make it bigger as the x mansion and the sanctum can be made bigger with 2 sets and have instructions on rebrickable to do so.
