Arkham Asylum

"Arkham Asylum is a rewarding if imperfect modular building: a landmark DC set packed with 16 minifigures, clever hidden mechanics, and lore-rich interior detail, but let down by heavy sticker use and an exterior that doesn't command a room the way Daily Bugle does. At a BrickScore of 76.0 and owner ratings of 4.9 out of 5, it earns its Recommended tier for Batman collectors."

The 76300 Arkham Asylum scores 74.5 and lands in the Recommended tier across three expert sources who share a broadly positive but qualified view of DC's first superhero modular building. Reviewers consistently celebrate the dense interior storytelling, 16-minifigure roster, and clever cell mechanics, while acknowledging that the exterior presence underwhelms compared to taller Super Heroes modulars. Owners rate it 4.9 out of 5 across 161 Amazon ratings, meaningfully higher than the expert consensus, suggesting casual buyers are more forgiving of the design limitations critics flag.

Where they split: Rebrickable's reviewer was notably cooler on the exterior design, describing the building as one that 'kinda drifts' compared to the soaring presence of Daily Bugle and Avengers Tower, while Brickset and Solid Brix Studios emphasized how much the dense interior compensates for the exterior's limitations. Solid Brix Studios explicitly rated interior execution as better than X-Mansion despite the smaller footprint.
