LEGO’s new Arkham Asylum modular set is the latest in the Superheroes modular series, an incredibly cool build featuring all kinds of great details, minifigures, and Easter eggs from the Batman mythos. Now that it’s been released, it’s fun to think about what other buildings/locations might be coming next, either from Marvel or DC Comics.
Meant to be incorporated with LEGO City’s classic Modular Buildings Collection, we’ve thus far had five different Marvel/DC Superheroes sets in the modular style: The Daily Bugle (76178), Sanctum Sanctorum (76218), Avengers Tower (76269), The X-Mansion (76294), and this year’s Arkham Asylum (76300), the first in the DC Superheroes line.
Keeping to an annual release since 2021, the hope is that more modular Superheroes buildings are coming in the years to come. With that in mind, here are 10 Marvel/DC Superheroes modular sets we’d love LEGO to one day release.
Daily Planet
Not unlike Marvel’s Daily Bugle, The Daily Planet is a major DC landmark and the newspaper where Superman works as his alter-ego, Clark Kent.
Using the previously released Daily Bugle as inspiration, a LEGO Daily Planet could similarly have multiple floors with detailed newsroom interiors filled with Easter eggs and staples seen in the comics and movies, like Clark and Lois Lane’s desks as well as Editor-in-Chief Perry White’s office near the top floor.
Likewise, the opportunity to have the Daily Planet’s signature golden globe at the top of the structure would be incredibly exciting, rivaling the large sign featured on Marvel’s Bugle.
Potential minifigures could include Clark Kent/Superman, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White, as well as some previously lesser-known Daily Planet reporters who were just featured in James Gunn’s Superman, like Cat Grant and/or Steve Lombard.
Key villains like Lex Luthor or Parasite could also be included, or perhaps even Ultraman and the Engineer, assuming the build is more inspired by the DCU as opposed to the original comics.
Titans Tower
The opportunity to have a giant T-shaped LEGO tower is just too good to pass up. Titans Tower is one of the more unique locations and superhero headquarters in the DC Universe, and it’s absolutely primed to be an upcoming modular set.
Inside the model, we could see rooms for each of the most notable Titans, including Robin, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Raven, and Starfire, who would naturally be featured as minifigures as well. Included villains could include classic foes like Deathstroke, Brother Blood, HIVE, and more.
Hall of Justice/Hall of Doom
The traditional Earth-based headquarters for the Justice League in the comics, the Hall of Justice was most recently featured in James Gunn’s Superman as the current base of operations for Max Lord’s Justice Gang.
A LEGO Hall of Justice with its large white marble and pillars would absolutely be the perfect centerpiece of any DC modular collection. You could also have a detailed interior with a central meeting room and table for a featured roster of classic Justice Leaguers.
However, it’s also worth mentioning that a domed Hall of Doom building would be just as exciting, a sinister parallel to the Hall of Justice for members of the Legion of Doom, which includes Lex Luthor, Sinestro, Captain Cold, Gorilla Grodd, and more.
While a Hall of Doom as a separate build would be great, I do think it would also be cool if the Hall of Doom was featured as the backside of a Hall of Justice set, allowing collectors to have alternate display options with the duel Halls being light and dark mirrors to each other.
GCPD
The Gotham City Police Department would be an excellent addition to the modular Superheroes line-up, especially after Arkham Asylum. While it could easily echo LEGO’s previous LEGO City Police Stations, one could imagine that a GCPD modular set would utilize darker colors and tones.
Minifigures like Commissioner Gordon, Harvey Bullock, and Detective Renee Montoya would serve as perfect minifigure inclusions, and perhaps a few captured villains and/or members of the Bat-Family like Barbara Gordon’s Batgirl or Robin. As a major non-negotiable, there would also have to be a working light brick Bat-Signal on the roof.
Wayne Manor/Batcave
The LEGO Batman Movie featured an absolutely massive version of Wayne Manor atop DC’s iconic Batcave. While a physical modular set wouldn’t have to be that big, there’s still some inspiration to be had.
It’s not hard to imagine a dual modular set featuring Wayne Manor above that transitions to the iconic Batcave below. While the mansion half could feature ornate details with big windows and doors, the lower Batcave half would have the expected vehicles, computer stations, suits on display, the robotic dinosaur, and the classic giant penny.
Possible minifigures to include would naturally be Bruce Wayne/Batman, Alfred Pennyworth, Robin, Nightwing, Batgirl, and Lucius Fox.
LuthorCorp
A LuthorCorp Tower modular set would be a unique villain-focused addition to any LEGO city display. Picturing sleek glass, with purple and green accents, a modular version of Lex Luthor’s base of operations could be very cool and visually distinct.
Included figures would of course be Luthor himself, along with his classic assistant and bodyguard, Mercy Graves. However, Eve Tessmacher and Otis Berg would be great additions as well.
Perhaps we could also see a Kryptonite-poisoned Superman minifigure, along with a War Suit variant for Lex. Interior rooms could feature offices and labs, and perhaps even a cloning chamber where Luthor created his Bizarro/Ultraman clone of Superman (depending on whether the set is comics or DCU inspired).
The Fantastic Four’s Baxter Building
Moving on to Marvel, The Fantastic Four’s Baxter Building is just begging to be made into a new LEGO modular set. While LEGO could make it MCU-inspired as they have with past modular sets like Avengers Tower and the Sanctum Sanctorum, a comics-inspired set would be just as cool.
Featured minifigures would obviously have to include The Fantastic Four themselves, though perhaps we could also see HERBIE, Spider-Man, She-Hulk, the Richards children, or even Silver Surfer as additional allies who could also be added.
Doctor Doom would have to be included as the primary villain minifigure, though perhaps we could also see foes like Mole Man or Giganto (the first foe the FF ever fought on the page).
Oscorp Tower

Technically, The LEGO Group did just give us Oscorp Tower with this year’s Spider-Man vs. Oscorp (76324). However, the set does feel rather small with its 808-piece count being split up between three different structures. The hope would be that LEGO will one day give us a much bigger Oscorp on par with 2021’s Daily Bugle.
Like the aforementioned LuthorCorp, we could also see this model being more villain-focused, featuring a roster of classic Spider-Man foes (like The Sinister Six!)
The Triskelion
The classic SHIELD headquarters that made its MCU debut in 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier, it would be very exciting to one day get a full modular build of the unique structure that is The Triskelion.
This would also be a unique opportunity for LEGO to revisit one of the MCU’s best movies that didn’t receive official sets when the movie was released (as LEGO was more focused on the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie).
Featured minifigures could include Captain America in his highly popular 2014 supersuit, Nick Fury, Black Widow, Falcon, Maria Hill, Bucky Barnes’ Winter Soldier, Hydra’s STRIKE Team, 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 would be the perfect street-level Marvel set. If it were big enough, the build could also incorporate other key New York locations too, like the law offices of Nelson & Murdock, Jessica Jones’ Alias Investigations, or even one of Mister Negative’s FEAST centers.
Minifigs could include Moon Knight, Matt Murdock/Daredevil, Foggy Nelson, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, as well as key villains like Negative, ninjas from The Hand, or even a “big-fig” of Wilson Fisk’s Kingpin.
