Product Information

As a child, Bruce Wayne watched as his parents were brutally killed in Gotham City’s Crime Alley. Traumatized by their deaths, he devoted his life to becoming the world’s greatest weapon against crime the Batman! He’s a master detective and an expert martial artist, but his greatest weapon is his mind. Batman has a plan for every occasion, as well as high-tech weapons, gadgets, and vehicles to assist him in his relentless pursuit of justice! For another fan, McFarlane brought the microphone into the crowd so they could ask their question, holding up a Gunslinger Spawn figure with the character riding on a horse for them to have and enjoy. Batman has no limits. Based on Christian Bale’s portrayal of Bruce Wayne in Christopher Nolan’s trilogy of films, this rendition of Batman is not to be missed.

From DC Direct, these new figures were shown: Batman Jace Fox, Harley Quinn's Future State design, another Batman figure with his cape flying all about, and the Joker from Batman: The Animated Series. Also from DC Direct's designer series were Batgirl and the Joker in artist Greg Capullo's design from Batman's "Death of the Family" storyline. The panel then opened up to fan questions, with McFarlane promising that questions "deemed worthy" would grant the fan a free toy. The creator walked right into the crowd to personally hand the microphone to fans. Also shown from the Super Powers line were Nightwing, Wonder Woman and Deathstroke. Other vehicles featured were the Batmobile and Wonder Woman's Invisible Jet.

Seven figures were revealed for DC Multiverse: Duke Thomas/Signal, Catwoman (purple outfit), Batman from the Hush storyline, the Joker from his recent solo series and more. Two megafigures shown were Mongul and Frankenstein. Complete sets of the Dark Knight Trilogy wave have been tough to find online, but as they start to ship en masse, they ought to populate more and more spaces. For fans of McFarlane’s movie figures, they’re essential, and to scale with other DC characters. The Titans are more for comic fans, though there’s definitely a solid attempt in the sculpt to make them seem like suits that could exist for real. Bane has three sets of hands, the right one gloved and the left not. His grip is larger, though his dependence on guns is less.

However, Shane isn't just a movie guy. He also loves video games. Super Mario Sunshine, The Last of Us Part 1 and 2, and Batman: Arkham City are some of his favorites. Music plays a big part in his life as well. Given that Shane's a big horror fan, you might be surprised to learn that he's a pop guy. Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, The Jonas Brothers, and Demi Lovato play on repeat while he's writing. A prominent and well-educated District Attorney, Harvey Dent fought valiantly to uphold the law and make the city a better place. In any other city, it would have worked. Not in Gotham a place where greed and corruption stretch from the depths of Crime Alley to the shimmering heights of the mayor’s office. Dent’s spiral into Gotham’s madness came swiftly after a criminal threw acid into his face, leaving half of it horribly scarred. Seeking refuge in the underbelly of Gotham, the name Harvey Dent and all the good it stood for was lost and Two-Face rose from the darkness. The next fan asked about bringing super groups to McFarlane Toys, mentioning the evil Batmen from Dark Knights: Metal, the Legion of Super-Heroes and other teams. On the plus side, her hooded cape assembly is among the best I’ve ever seen. The hood is perma-attached to her head, but not to the cape. However, the seam between hood and cape is so tight that whatever position the head/hood is in, it looks like part of the cloak overall. Many figures whiff on this, but Raven nails it.Also met with excitement were figures inspired by The Dark Knight trilogy -- Scarecrow, Batman, Joker and Two-Face. Collecting all four allows for a build-a-figure: Tom Hardy's Bane. The Banshees are the new airplane," McFarlane said, talking about how exciting the Avatar figures will be to play with. Continuing to discuss the banshee's immense details, McFarlane explained how the figures change colors, include swappable heads, and can be ridden by the Na'vi figures.

One question must be asked, though. Who approved the bios on the trading cards? Because besides the Batman one, which references his retirement between movies 2 and 3, these are not the movie biographies at all. Ledger’s Joker does not have white skin, and this Harvey Dent was not scarred by acid, but burned by fire. It’s an odd oversight for the McFarlane Dark Knight Trilogy figures. More Movie Love? Beast Boy doesn’t sport the usual disc-and-pin elbows of larger McFarlanes, but his elbow joints have a wider range than they seem to, with single hinges that can still allow the arms to fold way in. For a chest-beating pose, for example. The double ball joints in his torso allow for some great character-based posing, as he can shrug one shoulder up and one down, or adopt more dynamic action stances. Bane and Gain No name strikes terror into the hearts of Gotham’s citizens quite like the Joker. In a city overrun with larger-than-life criminals, the always-laughing villain stands alone. A complete psychopath with no moral compass whatsoever the Joker, whose real name and identity remain completely unknown, is characterized by his chalk-white skin, green hair and a permanent rictus grin stretched across his face. But there isn’t a single thing funny about this particular clown, who only finds humor in the suffering of others. In his free time, Shane loves going for runs and playing with his 16-year-old beagle Butterscotch. Butters for short, she has been the greatest love of his and inspires him everyday, both creatively and emtionally. On top of that, he's now a huge collector. He loves Funko Pop, McFarlane Toys, and Neca's huge line of horror figures. In the last two years he has been going to a lot of conversations to buy an unhealthy amount of figures. This has also allowed him to meet some of his favorite filmmakers/actors like Mike Flanagan, Matthew Lillard, John Carpenter, Grace Caroline Curry, Steve Burns and Kathryn Newton. Attending fans sat down in the panel to be greeted by McFarlane, finding exclusive collectibles inspired by DC's 2011 storyline Flashpoint waiting for each of them in their seats.Donna Troy has a great face sculpt, with what looks like a digital faceprint, but the choice of light gray plastic for her armor and sword, while matching the comics in approximate shade, looks more like stone than dull metal. The varying textures work well, but a more McFarlane-y wash over the gray might have made it pop more. Red Arrows Then, the DC Multiverse slide showed up on the screen, resulting in thunderous applause. McFarlane made a point to note how the company's DC Multiverse line was one of the most popular to exist over the last year, beating out the company's other competitors. While Batman Begins was a critical success and a modest box office hit, nothing could prepare comic book fans for the masterpiece that was The Dark Knight. The 2008 sequel took everything that worked in the first film and cranked it up to its most brilliant potential while refining every aspect of Nolan’s craft that was deemed less than stellar. Likeness-wise, however, even facially obscured, he’s got Tom Hardy’s eyes. They nailed the face on this McFarlane Dark Knight Trilogy figure.
