Summary
The Ascending Knight PX Previews Exclusive Batman figure uniquely features a blue and gray Silver Age-inspired color scheme paying homage to Batman's original Detective Comics debut, including a cowl with longer ears and a smaller chest symbol. It is the final variant in the Ascending Knight trilogy, distinguished by brighter paint applications on accessories like the grappling gun and batarangs, plus comes packaged in a collector-friendly metal tin. Despite sharing its sculpt and articulation with other Ascending Knight releases, this figure stands out for its nostalgic design and exclusive colorway within the series.
