I… See… You! — Batman: Arkham Asylum

Batman: Arkham Asylum is a very good video game. Lego has recognized this too and has used the game for inspiration for their own Batman sets (Lego Arkham Asylum Breakout (10937)). So it comes as no surprise that the AFOL community is also inspired by the Batman Arkham series. Some of the most memorable parts from the video game is when Jonathan Crane (Scarecrow) drugs Batman. The resulting hallucinations are a truly inspired part of the game. Having Batman traverse a nightmarish landscape while a giant Scarecrow is hunting him down.

This Lego MOC is a perfect example of forced perspective, depth of field, and great composition. The whole scene comes together with a sense of terror. At any moment Batman could be found.
