Product Review

Batman has always been a bit unusual in the mythology of the comic book superhero. Rather than possessing mystical powers afforded by spider bites, scientific accidents, or alien ancestry, Batman's abilities are brought about by nothing more than sheer resourcefulness and obscene amounts of money. In this figure, part of a line based on the television series Justice League, the caped crusader wears a gray outfit that has a yellow utility belt, surprisingly tall ears on a black mask, and naturally, a cape. Batman is awfully top heavy which makes him look strong, but also means that he has a hard time standing on his skinny little legs. Instead, he's meant to stand with the assistance of an included blue plastic rack, which when combined with those of others in the line spells out "Justice League." A three-image trading card is also included. --Charlie Williams
