I think Mattel did a nice job with their Lynda Carter figure. My figure has some white marks on the backside. I can't tell if it's paint slop or if the metallic blue didn't cover those areas. Other than that and poor elbow articulation, I can't complain.

Mine will be here tomorrow. I can’t wait although I will probably have to wait until Christmas now. lol Anyone who collects the Justice League movie figures from the Multiverse line, and is interested in army building the Parademons, Five Below is getting them in. They were Toys R Us Exclusives, but I rarely ever saw them around my area Just thought I’d let anyone know if they want to get them cheap, hit up Five Below The Duke Thomas Robin wave and Dr Psycho wave seem to be hitting there too Thanks for the tip. Not that I need them, but I might pick up another Rebirth Batman if I see it there.

PJ That Hasbro redesigned Batgirl from the Alliance of Fear 4pack is one awkwardly posed figure. Also that Grey Clayface figure that came in that 4pack with Alfred was also a poor choice of color for Clayface. I never got why they made Alfred's hair black instead of grey either. He only had black hair in flashback sequences.

That Multiverse wave with the Gotham by Gaslight Batman was supposed to be my birthday gift back in March. Now it’s looking like I won’t be getting it for Christmas either. Maybe my preorder will fill by my birthday next March. lol Seriously it’s always the next thing due in my Pile of Loot...yet it’s always skipped.

Alfred not a clue why they gave him dark hair.

the Gotham by Gaslight Batman is out, another Mattel dealer has them in stock on ebay Pmartstore. I don't understand the distribution of this line some retailers get them early some don't. By the time retail sees them I might finish getting gray hairs.

So apparently people get vintage MOC Kenner Batman figures framed in acrylic display cases now. I saw this on eBay while looking at Kenner Batman figures and this came up. I'm absolutely blown away by this. There is an unopened case of Batman Mask of The Phantasm figures on eBay too.

He just doesn’t look like Batman or Bruce Wayne to me. But he has grown on me over the years. That said that figure poses like that is frame worthy. lol

To me he will always be Mr Mom. But physically Keaton was not what I pictured Batman/Bruce Wayne to be. Plus Prince was the soundtrack and I was not a fan. That said I did like the overall mood of the film which is what saved it for me. Kilmer was just a step above Keaton. Physically he was a step up from Keaton, but overall still not what I pictured Batman to look like. Clooney I felt was better than both, but the script was hot garbage. I would rank those four films in this order. Batman Batman Forever Batman Returns Batman & Robin I felt with Bale they finally got it right. Physically he looked what I pictured Batman to look like and the scripts were all better than the previous four film. And I felt Affleck was perfect in BvS and JL. Here is how I rank all the Batman’s since I was a kid... 1. Adam West - I grew up with him so he’ll always be #1 to me, because that was my introduction to the character. 2. Ben Affleck - I felt he nailed it. To me he was a mix of both the original Bob Kane version of Batman as well as Frank Miller the DKR Batman. I enjoyed the grittiness of him. 3. Christian Bale - like Affleck I felt he looked and acted the part. And all three movies were great. 4. George Clooney - At the time I felt he was the closest physically to what Batman should look like, but that is the only think positive I can really say about Batman & Robin. 4. Val Kilmer - I felt he did a good job especially as Bruce Wayne, but Robin looked like he was in better shape and the script was questionable. 5. Michael Keaton - he just didn’t scream Batman or Bruce Wayne to me. Even in the suit he just looked short and small. I think it may have been because the size of the cowl. I did enjoy the darkness of the films, but I just had a hard time believing he was Batman. He just didn’t look intimidating to me. Of course Kevin Conroy is a great Batman in the Animated world of Batman. I wish WB/DC used him in all their Animated films. Of course you probably blocked me already so you won’t see any of this reply!

The Five Below I went to today only had pegs of Multiverse Rick Flags. I ordered a Super Friends Superman and Aquaman from their website on Tuesday, the items didnt ship until Friday and for that crappy service, I was charged $7.08 shipping

Of course Kevin Conroy is a great Batman in the Animated world of Batman. I wish WB/DC used him in all their Animated films. Of course you probably blocked me already so you won’t see any of this reply! I think we can all agree that West and Conroy are in their own class. To me, I was ok with Keaton being a bit undersized because he embodied the psychology of the character. The dude can brood like a motherhugger. I would love to see what he could have done with a better suit. I feel like Kilmer was cosplaying as Keaton, and after watching Forever again the other day, it was a lot worse than I remember it. It did not hold up well. To me, Kilmer was a better Batman than Bruce. Then Clooney is on the flip side. I think he's a better Bruce than Batman. I think that he's a good enough actor that he could have done a much better job with a more serious script and a different director. Clooney was definitely the best thing about the piece of dreck that is B&R. I liked the Bale trilogy, and I think overall he did quite a good job, but the films are definitely not without their flaws. I liken Affleck to Clooney. I think he would have shined much more brightly in a better setting. My rankings: Keaton Bale Affleck Clooney Kilmer Batman The Dark Knight Batman Returns Batman Begins The Dark Knight Rises Batman Forever Dawn of Justice Batman & Robin

I gotta agree with Dudes rankings. Age probably plays a huge factor as I was born in 89 so Keaton is Batman the way West is for PJ. Similarly Surfer Sting and Crow Sting. I was introduced to the dark brooding character and not the over the top colorful one.

My problem with Keaton as Batman is that I cant take Keaton serious as Bruce Wayne. When I picture Bruce Wayne I see that "Handsome, billionaire bachelor". While I dont personally find many men attractive, Ive never heard a lot of women refer to Keaton as a "Sex symbol" so to speak. Not in the way Adam West, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck etc were.
