Summary
The Ascending Knight Batman Toy Fair exclusive is a unique all-black variant of Mezco's original "year one" inspired design, featuring long ears on the cowl and a stealthy aesthetic that stands apart from the regular black/gray and PX exclusive blue/gray versions. It includes a full set of accessories identical to the standard release—ten batarangs, a grappling gun with multiple hooks, a tranq-dart crossbow, and a "bat brick"—plus two interchangeable heads (masked and unmasked), making it a highly sought-after figure with superior articulation and poseability. Its exclusivity and striking monochrome look have made it a coveted collector's item, commanding high secondary market prices.

Pros
- Exclusive all-black variant with a stealth-inspired aesthetic distinct from regular and PX versions
- Highly detailed paint applications, especially on the masked and Bruce Wayne heads with crisp eye and lip details
- Dual-texture costume combining spandex and rubberized overlays for visual depth and realism
- Improved articulation allowing full arm raises, double-jointed elbows, ankle rockers with side-to-side tilt, and exceptional ab crunch and waist rotation
- Extensive accessories including two detailed head sculpts, seven interchangeable hands, ten small batarangs plus a large bat-brick, grappling gun with three interchangeable hooks, and a tranq-dart wrist crossbow
- Grappling gun holster integrated into the utility belt and adjustable cape with internal wiring for dynamic posing
- Collector-friendly heavy-duty packaging with exclusive stickers and supplemental goodies in some releases
Cons
- Fragile long cowl ears prone to potential damage if handled roughly
- Restricted neck articulation due to bulky cowl design, with risk of head popping off in extreme poses
- Small accessories like batarangs prone to static cling and loss, requiring careful handling
- Utility belt clasp prone to unfastening during posing
- Slightly less refined lip paint on Bruce Wayne head and simpler hair sculpt on front of the head compared to rear detailing
