“It includes seven minifigures and two vehicles. It also includes buildings used for research and experiments, storage, and holding cells, as well as a gate and guard tower for security. Batman appears in his black suit and is also equipped with a jetpack to help him fly.”

“Overall, this is my favorite of the Batman sets. It's definitely worth the money! Arkham Asylum is the best of the Batman sets in my opinion. The set does have a Harry Potter castle feel to it with multiple buildings. I would have loved to see Lego place all of the various... More cells and rooms in one larger single building. The main structure is definitely the most detailed with three floors and two mechanism that allow "lock-down".”
