Summary
The Dark Knight Returns Batman figure stands out in the One:12 Collective line for its substantial size and weight that capture the hulking, aged Bruce Wayne from the graphic novel. It features a new body sculpt with excellent articulation and mobility, enhanced by a flexible, well-tailored fabric costume that maintains both detail and poseability. The exclusive dark blue and grey costume with the large black bat symbol, multiple interchangeable heads and hands, and a robust accessory set including a rifle and thigh belt, offer collectors significant customization and display options.

Cons
- Cape is permanently attached to the cowl and not removable
- Neck articulation limited; ball joint inside head allows little side-to-side tilt, and body joint moves only forward and back
- One pair of hands has fixed batarangs between fingers, limiting functional use beyond aesthetics
- Previews exclusive version lacks pistol and holstered boot accessory (noted difference among variants)
- The cape posing stand is somewhat cumbersome to use and the figure’s weight can cause stability issues in extended flying poses
