...I just got this guy & the new Supergirl the other day... WOW!! He looks just awesome like this! I'd prefer that cool cape from the TRU 2-pack on it, but jeez, this sure is a striking design! Does anyone know if it's actually appeared in the comics? It seems familar somehow! If only he could hold the danged batarangs though... I wish he actually dressed like this in the comics! It would be so much more intimidating!

He does look cool but I'm pretty sure the costume is not comic accurate.

If you're talking about that all black Batman yeah he does look kinda famliar. I think he kinda looks like Black Panther from Marvel comics.

Yes, this guy is SERIOUSLY AWESOME! I got him a week or two ago as well and freaking love it--truly impressive for a variant that's not from a comic.

An awesome fig. Will always prefer a great original fig to a poorly done or weakly articulated comic accurate fig

I tell ya, if Mattel had any marketing savvy at all, then they should have hounded DC to sneek this look for Batman in at least one issue. Doesn't even have to be a whole issue. It could have been just a special purpose suit or outer layer for his costume that he uses on a special mission, which he could tear off when he'd start to beat down on the bad guys. Fans would scramble for this figure.

A friend of mine got me this figure in the USA last July and I have to agreed that it does look and play great. Only problem was his utility belt got in the way of his leg articulation. Hope the Black-Grey Bat's utility belt is better.

Oh the new belt loks and works 100 times better.

Unfortunately, I still haven't seen that wave of figures in any store yet.

Me either. I went to TRU the other day looking for Knight Shadow Batman because, believe it or not, it's the only figure I still don't have. No luck there. I was able to trade for Two-Face and Camo Bane and I bought Batgirl on eBay. Knight Shadow Batman is all I need. If anyone can help me out, please let me know. And if you need a Cyborg Superman we can make a trade. Just let me know
