(or "the what were they thinking" discussion thread )
So I just picked up the DCUC Azreal Batman/Batman knightsend 2 pack for $17. at a toy wholesaler.
The Batman looks great without the black shadowing on the cowl but the "battle damage" emblem....well
I all can think of is "why?" Yes it goes with the storyline but otherwise it could have been Mattel's (IMO)
quintessential Bronze age Batman figure.
What figs do you think could have been your "default" figure if only the toy company that manufactured them had not gone overboard or made that one wrong decision?

DC Collectibles most recent Arkham City super-articulated Batman. What the heck were they thinking with those shorts? If not for that and the odd head (I'm not sure if it's too small or too weird), it'd be a definitive representation. Mattel's version was also nearly excellent if not for the short arms.

DC Collectibles and Mattel both do "almost" very well. Tons of examples to choose from.
