The Dark Knight gets a special edition figure from Hot Toys

Posted on by

Get a look at the Batman Special Edition 1/4 Scale Figure by Hot Toys. After an eight-year exile, it’s time for Batman to return as a new threat looms over Gotham. Donning the cowl once more, Batman must contend with Bane, a terrifying new adversary and self-appointed “liberator of pain”. There’s also a new thief in town, the enigmatic Catwoman, whose alliances are unpredictable. As time begins to run out for Gotham, Batman is led into a battle he may not be able to win.

Inspired by Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Trilogy, the Batman 1/4 Scale Figure features two masked head sculpts with interchangeable face designs, including one with LED light-up eyes and one utilizing Hot Toys’ innovative rolling eyeball function, which allows collectors to adjust the figure’s gaze. An all-new hand-painted headsculpt with a detailed likeness of Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne is also included.

This highly poseable figure wears a finely tailored Batsuit composed of a fabric costume covered with armor, featuring a carbon fiber-like weave. His iconic costume is completed with a flowing black cape and a partially diecast metallic gold utility belt. Accessories include a light-up EMP rifle, a sticky bomb gun, a grapnel gun, Batarangs, and a miniature mine. The figure also comes with wonderful display accessories including a chest bust collectible stand for the additional headsculpts and a detailed diorama base featuring a rogue’s gallery of Ra’s al Ghul, Bane, and The Joker.

The exclusive Special Edition includes an additional non-wearable Batman cowl for display. Add the Dark Knight to your collection. The Batman Special Edition 1/4 Scale Figure is available to order.

Batmobile Cutaways: The Movie Vehicles 1989-2012

Ever since his modern cinematic debut in 1989’s Batman, the Caped Crusader’s one constant companion has been – no, not Robin the Boy Wonder – his iconic Batmobile! Part assault vehicle, part pursuit and rescue transport, part mobile crime lab and part the screen’s coolest  looking car, the Batmobile has always been the most technologically advanced crime-fighting asset in Batman’s arsenal.

Like the Dark Knight himself, everybody has a favorite Batmobile and now all of the cars, from Tim Burton’s 1989 classic to the conclusion of Christopher Nolan’s trilogy in 2012, have been brought together in one comprehensive, fully illustrated, 72-page volume from Eaglemoss Hero Collector, designers, manufacturers and publishers of high-quality collectibles from across the many worlds of pop culture.

Written by Alan Cowsill, James Hill, and Richard Jackson – with original illustrations contributed by Ed Giddings and Mojo – Batmobile Cutaways: The Movie Vehicles 1989-2012 is a one-of-a-kind visual reference guide featuring original cutaway artwork approved by Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment, as well as lavish illustrations and photos highlighting every vehicle from Batman (1989), Batman Returns (1992), Batman Forever (1995), Batman & Robin (1997), Batman Begins (2005), The Dark Knight (2008) and The Dark Knight Rises (2012).

What’s more, the book comes packaged with a 1/43 scale die-cast metal replica of the iconic Anton Furst designed Batmobile featured in 1989’s Batman. Now you can discover what lies inside this and many other machines with extraordinary cutaway art. Take a deep look under the hoods and behind the controls as weapons systems and construction secrets are revealed.

Like all Eaglemoss Hero Collector books, Batmobile Cutaways: The Movie Vehicles 1989-2012 (ISBN: 978-1-85875-542-7) may be purchased from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, Indigo, independent booksellers, and select specialty stores including comic shops and gaming stores. It’s priced at $39.95 in the US and $54.95 in Canada.

Review: Dark Knight III: The Master Race #6

Posted on by

dktmr_cv6_ds-1We’re a few issues away from the end of this intense mini-series and Dark Knight III: The Master Race #6 doesn’t disappoint or slow down the story train one bit. When things left off we the team was giving it all they had, all hell was breaking loose and, there was sense of urgency and anything goes mayhem in the Batcave and beyond its walls. Members of the team were falling seemingly as soon as they showed up for their cameo.

The rise of Quar and the rest of the aliens hell bent on earth domination, is upon us and no matter what the heroes of Gotham and the adjoining cities throw at the onslaught of baddies, the war is far from over. But, this time around the humans are ready to join in the fight en masse and there is still hope. Superman is still rocking his Kryponite proof suit and Batgirl/Catwoman/Batman is ready to give it all she’s got, even if it costs her her life.

Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello give us one hell of a story. There’s war, behind the scenes plotting and, a humanity taking a stand of sorts. It’s a compelling read with a load of action, some sadness and , a whole lot of sacrifice and love. Miller and Azarello deal with the complexity of the characters by showing them in all possible emotions and states. They showcase the strength of the fallen, the loyalty of those who remain standing and, the fight of those affected by the fall out not yet ready to kneel.

Andy Kubert‘s art adds another layer to the story. His artwork matches the tone of the story and the pace of the fight. There is so much attention to detail and there is no line wasted.

Overall issue #6 was a perfect read, it propelled the fight and current story arc forward. As a stand alone issue it’s still solid and stands up but, as part of the whole it is a perfect piece as this storyline winds down. With a few more issues to go before the end of this series, this issue gives us something to look forward to and, a team to root for when everything comes to an end.
