Superman/Batman : Public Enemies

The latest preview of the upcoming Direct to DVD Superman/Batman movie. Set to be released at the end of this month. The list of characters looks explosive especially with Power Girl in the mix(what?).

So far this is the third animated movie by DC this year. The first two were:
Being a fan of WW, one would expect that I highly recommend the WW movie. Well, I think fans should watch both. Both movies gives viewers a new look at both their origins in the Superhero world. If you're watching GL, keep an eye out for Arisia, one of the GL Corps. Why? 'Cos she's cute - nuff said.

DC Direct : Hush, Stealth Jumper Batman

This figure is based on the very, very cool Batman: Hush comics. It is based on the art design of the talented Jim Lee. The sculpt and details for the Hush series is simply the best out there.

Good for jumping from high altitudes and I guess nowadays, against H1N1.

A.R.Ms # 18: DC Direct, Batman

Note: Even though this review is posted on a Wednesday, it's only because it took me 2 days to realise I never published the post. Normally, I'd write the post a few days ahead and save it as a draft in case I wanna make changes. Sorry folks!!

Luckily I don't get paid to do this or I'd definitely be out of a job.

Batman. Caped Crusader, Detective, Savior, Dark Knight. One of the few Superheroes that doesn't actually have super powers. Then again, if you're a multi-billionaire with a company that produces advance technology products, who needs them. Lex Luthor is a super villain without super powers either.

In this collection, we have from DC Direct, Justice League of America Series 2. The character details are from the very talented Brad Meltzer.

Front

Back

To those who have read JLA's - The Tornado's Path, this little cut-out at the back has got to the icing on the cake. Not that I'd cut it out and put it in my wallet or anything...really!!

Detail/Sculpt

The base plate

By far one of the best Batman comic figure I've come across.

I freaking love the cape. It's made from soft rubber(insert dirty joke here if you must). They managed to capture the 'flow' of the cape.

He looks so serious. Just how he should be.

Check out his...err...utility belt(what were you looking at??). The sculpt is excellent.

Pricing

Standard is USD 15. But the Batman is everyone's favorite. So I'm guessing it will not last long on the shelves or online. But hey, you can get the whole Series 2 set at...you guessed it. Heroes in a Box.
