LEGO’s new Arkham Asylum modular set is the most recent within the Superheroes modular sequence, an extremely cool construct that includes all types of nice particulars, minifigures, and Easter eggs from the Batman mythos. Now that it has been launched, it is enjoyable to consider what different buildings/places may be coming subsequent, both from Marvel or DC Comics.
Meant to be integrated with LEGO Metropolis’s traditional Modular Buildings Assortment, we have so far had 5 totally different Marvel/DC Superheroes units within the modular type: The Every day Bugle (76178), Sanctum Sanctorum (76218), Avengers Tower (76269), The X-Mansion (76294), and this year’s Arkham Asylum (76300), the primary within the DC Superheroes line.
Holding to an annual launch since 2021, the hope is that extra modular Superheroes buildings are coming within the years to come back. With that in thoughts, listed below are 10 Marvel/DC Superheroes modular units we would love LEGO to in the future launch.
Every day Planet
Not not like Marvel’s Every day Bugle, The Daily Planet is a major DC landmark and the newspaper the place Superman works as his alter-ego, Clark Kent.
Utilizing the beforehand launched Every day Bugle as inspiration, a LEGO Every day Planet might equally have a number of flooring with detailed newsroom interiors full of Easter eggs and staples seen within the comics and films, like Clark and Lois Lane’s desks in addition to Editor-in-Chief Perry White’s workplace close to the highest ground.
Likewise, the chance to have the Every day Planet’s signature golden globe on the prime of the construction could be extremely thrilling, rivaling the massive signal featured on Marvel’s Bugle.
Potential minifigures might embrace Clark Kent/Superman, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White, in addition to some beforehand lesser-known Every day Planet reporters who have been simply featured in James Gunn’s Superman, like Cat Grant and/or Steve Lombard.
Key villains like Lex Luthor or Parasite is also included, or maybe even Ultraman and the Engineer, assuming the construct is extra impressed by the DCU versus the unique comics.
Titans Tower
The chance to have an enormous T-shaped LEGO tower is simply too good to move up. Titans Tower is without doubt one of the extra distinctive places and superhero headquarters within the DC Universe, and it is completely primed to be an upcoming modular set.
Contained in the mannequin, we might see rooms for every of essentially the most notable Titans, together with Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven, and Starfire, who would naturally be featured as minifigures as effectively. Included villains might embrace traditional foes like Deathstroke, Brother Blood, HIVE, and extra.
Corridor of Justice/Corridor of Doom
The normal Earth-based headquarters for the Justice League within the comics, the Corridor of Justice was most just lately featured in James Gunn’s Superman as the present base of operations for Max Lord’s Justice Gang.
A LEGO Corridor of Justice with its massive white marble and pillars would completely be the proper centerpiece of any DC modular assortment. You can even have an in depth inside with a central assembly room and desk for a featured roster of traditional Justice Leaguers.
Nevertheless, it is also value mentioning {that a} domed Corridor of Doom constructing could be simply as thrilling, a sinister parallel to the Corridor of Justice for members of the Legion of Doom, which incorporates Lex Luthor, Sinestro, Captain Chilly, Gorilla Grodd, and extra.
Whereas a Corridor of Doom as a separate construct could be nice, I do assume it could even be cool if the Corridor of Doom was featured because the bottom of a Corridor of Justice set, permitting collectors to have alternate show choices with the duel Halls being gentle and darkish mirrors to one another.
GCPD
The Gotham Metropolis Police Division could be a superb addition to the modular Superheroes line-up, particularly after Arkham Asylum. Whereas it might simply echo LEGO’s earlier LEGO Metropolis Police Stations, one might think about {that a} GCPD modular set would make the most of darker colours and tones.
Minifigures like Commissioner Gordon, Harvey Bullock, and Detective Renee Montoya would function good minifigure inclusions, and maybe a couple of captured villains and/or members of the Bat-Household like Barbara Gordon’s Batgirl or Robin. As a serious non-negotiable, there would additionally need to be a working gentle brick Bat-Sign on the roof.
Wayne Manor/Batcave
The LEGO Batman Film featured a fully large model of Wayne Manor atop DC’s iconic Batcave. Whereas a bodily modular set would not need to be that huge, there’s nonetheless some inspiration available.
It isn’t exhausting to think about a twin modular set that includes Wayne Manor above that transitions to the long-lasting Batcave under. Whereas the mansion half might function ornate particulars with huge home windows and doorways, the decrease Batcave half would have the anticipated autos, laptop stations, fits on show, the robotic dinosaur, and the traditional big penny.
Attainable minifigures to incorporate would naturally be Bruce Wayne/Batman, Alfred Pennyworth, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, and Lucius Fox.
LuthorCorp
A LuthorCorp Tower modular set could be a novel villain-focused addition to any LEGO metropolis show. Picturing smooth glass, with purple and inexperienced accents, a modular model of Lex Luthor’s base of operations may very well be very cool and visually distinct.
Included figures would in fact be Luthor himself, alongside together with his traditional assistant and bodyguard, Mercy Graves. Nevertheless, Eve Tessmacher and Otis Berg could be nice additions as effectively.
Maybe we might additionally see a Kryptonite-poisoned Superman minifigure, together with a Warfare Go well with variant for Lex. Inside rooms might function places of work and labs, and even perhaps a cloning chamber the place Luthor created his Bizarro/Ultraman clone of Superman (relying on whether or not the set is comics or DCU impressed).
The Unbelievable 4’s Baxter Constructing
Transferring on to Marvel, The Unbelievable 4’s Baxter Constructing is simply begging to be made into a brand new LEGO modular set. Whereas LEGO might make it MCU-inspired as they’ve with previous modular units like Avengers Tower and the Sanctum Sanctorum, a comics-inspired set could be simply as cool.
Featured minifigures would clearly have to incorporate The Unbelievable 4 themselves, although maybe we might additionally see HERBIE, Spider-Man, She-Hulk, the Richards kids, and even Silver Surfer as further allies who is also added.
Doctor Doom would have to be included as the primary villain minifigure, although maybe we might additionally see foes like Mole Man or Giganto (the primary foe the FF ever fought on the web page).
Oscorp Tower
Picture by way of Disney+
Technically, The LEGO Group did simply give us Oscorp Tower with this 12 months’s Spider-Man vs. Oscorp (76324). Nevertheless, the set does really feel fairly small with its 808-piece depend being cut up up between three totally different buildings. The hope could be that LEGO will in the future give us a a lot larger Oscorp on par with 2021’s Every day Bugle.
Just like the aforementioned LuthorCorp, we might additionally see this mannequin being extra villain-focused, that includes a roster of traditional Spider-Man foes (like The Sinister Six!)
The Triskelion
The traditional SHIELD headquarters that made its MCU debut in 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, it could be very thrilling to in the future get a full modular construct of the distinctive construction that’s The Triskelion.
This might even be a novel alternative for LEGO to revisit one of many MCU’s finest motion pictures that did not obtain official units when the film was launched (as LEGO was extra centered on the primary Guardians of the Galaxy film).
Featured minifigures might embrace Captain America in his extremely common 2014 supersuit, Nick Fury, Black Widow, Falcon, Maria Hill, Bucky Barnes’ Winter Soldier, Hydra’s STRIKE Crew, and Alexander Pierce (whose minifigure was featured in LEGO’s Avengers Tower set).
Moon Knight’s Midnight Mission
A modular LEGO set of Moon Knight’s Midnight Mission could be the proper street-level Marvel set. If it have been sufficiently big, the construct might additionally incorporate different key New York places too, just like the regulation places of work of Nelson & Murdock, Jessica Jones’ Alias Investigations, and even one among Mister Unfavorable’s FEAST facilities.
Minifigs might embrace Moon Knight, Matt Murdock/Daredevil, Foggy Nelson, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, in addition to key villains like Unfavorable, ninjas from The Hand, or perhaps a “big-fig” of Wilson Fisk’s Kingpin.
