Yeah Mart. I just got mine! He is, as you would say, TOPS! I will hold off a while before I consider any revamping of him just yet. I know I will tone down the weird muscles here and there, but, he is one badass Batman, AS IS! If he had a Ross head though.....and a really long, drapey cape to match.... man...what a Ross it would be! Needs longer gauntlets and the boots would have to ride a tad higher, both of which are doable....IF, I alter him at all... NICE FIGURE! Glad I got one! [glow=red,2,300]RECOMMENDED!!!!![/glow]

;DI thought you'd like him, Les!! Sure, he's got a few things that might be corrected, but as is, I still think he's one of the finest large scale Batman figures ever to be released. I don't think there are any mass produced figures that can compare. Just my opinion...

Cool pics, Pete!! Wow, Robin really does look like a boy next to that Batman figure. And you can definitely see the Jim Lee influence in the details you pointed out. Personally? I LIKE it!!! I though his take on Batman was awesome, incorporating all the sort of basic characteristics that make the character cool for me. Thanks for the comparison pics!

Great improvement Les,love the fact that you went for the Ross style Cowl without Eye Lenses.Even that change makes him a much more desirable figure as far as i'm concerned.

I like how this fella comes right out of the box but now having seen it all 'Less-ed up' (Does that sound wrong!) I can see how much cooler it can look. A stunning job in bringing some real life into an already amazing looking figure. Top stuff.

Nice work Les- really changes the overall feel of the figure. The added realism in the face compliments and enhances the detailed costume design.

wow Les that looks great ,I too have been getting all these I passed on the 1st superman ... Kinda glad I did I thinkl the one coming out next year is a little better and cheaper, I do like these Figures ,I think they will do nothing but get harder and harder too find and aquire, the only thing I wish DC Direct would do is fix the hand problem, Ive been thinking about inserting a wire of some sort to hold the hand on better, also Im wainting fot next Summer's release of Wonder Woman , there is so many ways they could screw WW up I wonder (no pun intended) which one they will pick??

I also wasn't particularly keen on this figure till I actually had one in hand. I was really surprised by the quality (especially as the DCD Batman Begins figure was so dissapointing ) and the attention to detail .O.k, the scale IS a bit out , he is HUUUUGE! and those cut joints on the biceps are really distracting , but the articulation of the figure is both tight and smooth , the outfit beautifully tailored and the overall "look" is spot-on . My biggest problem with the figure is that I now have to pick up the rest of the League as they are the only figures in scale with the big b£"%^&d . Doh!
