Batman’s greatest enemies – Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, The Joker, The Riddler, Two-Face and Catwoman – are all out to escape from this 1,628-piece set inspired by Arkham Asylum from DC’s Batman comic series. Batman, Robin, Aaron Cash and a couple of guards are your only allies to keep the evil and mayhem of the Asylum at bay. But you have lots of cool rooms and gadgets at your disposal, as well. For example, if you think any of the prisoners carry contraband, simply send them through the x-ray security scanner. Keep an eye on the grounds inside and out using a watchtower and searchlights. Dr. Harleen Quinzel might not be evil just yet, so her office may still be safe to use for research and experiments (but watch out for her syringes!). The ward office is where you want to be to monitor individual prisoners as it comes equipped with security tapes as well as a computer.
When they aren’t sleeping in their cells, the Asylum prisoners can eat in a canteen, work out in a gym or wash their laundry in the laundry facility. But, come on, what fun is a peaceful crazy-house? To shake things up, just break everybody break out! Then Batman can use his Phantom Zone Projector to send all the villains packing to another dimension for good, just like in the LEGO Batman movie (2017).
Arkham Asylum is currently available in the official LEGO online store for $149.99.
