Summary
The Dark Knight Returns Batman figure features an all-new oversized body sculpt that captures the hulking elder Bruce Wayne with visible muscle definition beneath a tailored fabric costume, offering impressive articulation and presence. It includes two interchangeable heads, multiple hands (including a pair with fixed batarangs), and a variety of accessories like a pistol, sniper rifle, and grappling hook, with different versions offering unique color schemes and gear. The figure comes with a Batsignal display base and a dynamic cape posing attachment, enhancing its display options despite the cape being permanently attached to the cowl.
Pros
- New, entirely original body sculpt that captures the hulking, aged Bruce Wayne physique from The Dark Knight Returns.
- Heft and solid feel surpass typical six-inch or one-sixth scale figures, giving presence and better posing stability.
- Fabric costume with flexible material and strong, tight stitching enables excellent mobility without articulation issues.
- Comes with two interchangeable heads (stoic and grimacing) that suit the character well and are easy to swap.
- Includes three pairs of hands, one with fixed batarangs for easy posing.
- Multiple accessories depending on version: Mezco exclusive includes pistol, extra boot with holster, thigh belt, grappling hook, and sniper rifle.
- Different versions feature unique details: Previews exclusive has yellow symbol and light blue suit; Toy Fair edition is black and white.
- Display base shaped like the Batsignal with figure stand for dynamic poses, including a special attachment for dynamic cape posing.
Cons
- Cape is permanently attached to the cowl and not removable.
- Fixed batarangs on one hand pair limit their functional use beyond aesthetics.
- The figure’s weight makes it somewhat challenging to maintain stable airborne poses on the stand.
- Dynamic cape posing attachment is somewhat cumbersome to use.
- Some may find guns included with the figure not fitting typical Batman display preferences.
