Of course, you can't have a Joker without a Batman (except the Joaquin Phoenix movie of course which I really enjoyed!). In this case, we've got the Arkham Asylum Batman. If they had only ever made this character, I would've been happy. Loved the Arkham series to bits, and really excited for both the Gotham Knights and Suicide Squad game coming out in the next couple of years.
I feel like we've nearly come full circle here! I started this blog with a post using the Arkham City Batman and here we are with an Asylum version, one of the first figures I started collecting years ago. This Batman is super true to form for Arkham Asylum. He's got the extra tall pointy bat-ears, lines through the suit, oversized bracers and boots, and shoulder draped cape. I love that the bat symbol is a large separately sculpted piece as it makes it pop out more. The articulation can't be beat if you compare it to the Arkham Asylum or even the City version of this figure from DC Direct/Collectibles. I like how clean the eyes and headpiece are, even if it is missing some shading. This is definitely a new favorite of mine for the Arkham Collection and I can't wait until they release the Arkham Knight Batman and the Arkham Origins Deathstroke. I definitely am loving what McFarlane is putting out.
