Summary
The Onyx Edition Sovereign Knight Batman uniquely blends a glossy black, Burton-esque suit with a reinforced chest emblem inspired by Michael Keaton's 1989 Batman, distinguishing it within the trilogy as a modern yet nostalgic interpretation. Its extensive accessory set—including a bat-drone, sonic disruptor, and kryptonite knuckle duster—plus four detailed head sculpts and versatile hands, emphasizes both display and play options. This figure is lauded as a pinnacle of Mezco's Batman line, celebrated for its detailed armor patterning, striking gloss finish, and the robust "peak career" portrayal of the Dark Knight.

Pros
- Exclusive Onyx Edition with a mostly glossy black costume evoking Michael Keaton’s 1989 Batman
- Leather-like cape with a shiny, lightweight material allowing easy posing and natural flow
- Hand-painted, detailed chest insignia with a reinforced breastplate bat symbol featuring textured yellow oval
- Over 30 points of articulation with double-jointed elbows and knees, butterfly shoulders, and ball hips allowing dynamic posing
- Vinyl body armor designed with segmented plates and patterns to reduce creasing and allow better articulation
- Extensive accessories including 4 interchangeable head sculpts (long ears, short ears, battle-damaged, unmasked Bruce Wayne)
- Eleven interchangeable hands including kryptonite knuckle duster hand (translucent green), fist pairs, posing hands, gun and batarang holding hands
- Arsenal of gadgets with 10 small batarangs, 1 large carbon-fiber textured batarang, bat-drone with articulated wings, sonic disruptor gun, grappling gun with two types of grappling hooks (one with string)
- Collector-friendly packaging with a display base featuring a bat logo and a clear articulated arm for display
- The bat-drone accessory is a unique standout with ball-jointed wings for posing, adding a futuristic element to the figure
- Soft goods suit with a rubber-like texture distinct from other versions, giving a fresh tactile feel to the figure
- Detailed paint applications on gadgets with black and gold accents, enhancing premium look and feel
- Compatibility of heads and some accessories with other Mezco Batman figures for customizability
Cons
- Glossy finish on the suit and cape can make details harder to see and may not appeal to all collectors
- The articulation around ankles is somewhat limited due to the suit material hindering deep crouches
- The bat-drone lacks an included stand, making it difficult to display hovering without improvised solutions
- The yellow bat logo on the chest can sit slightly crooked out of the box on some figures
- Some small batarangs are loose in hands and may fall easily during posing
- The soft vinyl suit, while articulated, requires careful posing to avoid potential tearing or creasing over time
- Base stand bat emblem color does not match the figure’s chest logo, with an odd yellowish gold that some find unattractive
- The alternate short-eared Batman head sculpt with teeth showing is less favored by some collectors
- Utility belt tends to ride high, making the torso look shorter and affecting figure proportions slightly
