To stop this devious new menace - Batman's most personal and vicious enemy yet - he will have to use every high-tech weapon in his arsenal and confront everything he believes.

DC Direct 13" Dark Knight Batman Review!
This figure is pretty awesome. It is way better detailed than the one that came out for Batman Begins i.e. it actually looks like Christian Bale/Batman. The Suit is very nicely done looking very movie accurate with the armor rubber plates over a mesh kind of cloth underneath very similar to the movie unlike the Hot Toys version where the suit is all one piece of rubber material. The cape is poseable and has the "velvet" kinda of material for the outside and expands pretty wide just like if he were gliding in the movie. Poseblility of the figure its self is ok. That's probably the only place it falls short but other than that i like this figure better than the Hot Toys one, mainly because it costs way less. 5star figure!

Very nice....but I expected more.
Ok - the title of my review may put some people off but allow me to explain. I really like this figure....it is my first 1/6th scale collectible and I was very excited to purchase it and have someone from the US bring it for me. Here is what I like about it:

1. It looks very cool.

2. The details are quite authentic, including the likeness to Christian Bale. My wife disagrees but I think otherwise.

3. The figure appears to be quite durable and I don't think I will be damaging it in anyway anytime soon.

4. The cape is pose-able (has wires running on the sides).

5. A certificate of authenticity is included, which I felt was a nice touch. Can be framed, its on a nice parchment type thick paper.

Here are the bad points:

1. I don't like the velvety cape! Some other nice, thick material would have suited this caped crusader better.....Batman in velvet? Is he going to the Annual Gotham Ball or something?

2. I was under the impression that this figure was made by Hot Toys. Please note that I am not discrediting the shipper in anyway since there is no place where they claim that on the product page. The real issue is that DC Direct is now shipping the Hot Toys version, but were earlier on shipping their own version (the one I got!). I am not really sure what the articulation differences are, but the HT version comes with an extra head (Bruce Wayne without the Bat mask), 3 pairs of hands (I may be wrong!) and an activated mine. I have read raving reviews of the HT figure so I am not sure what exactly I may be missing in this one (except for the items mentioned above).

3. The figure may be heavily articulated (HT or otherwise) but the Batsuit's nature prevents the possibility of any real poses. Bend an arm here, flex the knees a bit....and that's about it.

4. There is a "pneumatic wrangler" included....call me ignorant but for the life of me I cannot recall how and when Batman used it. There is no documentation included with the figure to explain what goes where. I guess we are all supposed to use our own heads for that.

5. The "grappling launcher" looks very nice, but the only pair of hands that are NOT closed fists cannot "hold" the gun....I tried many times to close the fingers around the gun shaft but the fingers are not very articulate. The only other pair of hands are closed fists.

So overall, not bad. Just some points to take home:

1. This figure NOT made by Hot Toys, so only the one head (Batman mask on) and only one pair of extra hands (closed fists) plus no mine.

2. Velvet cape - not very nice.

3. Not very articulate.

As for the shipment: I received the package without any damage and on time. 100 points for all that.

Outstanding Item!
I am amazed at the detail of the suit and the ability to pose the action figure. Awesome...well worth the purchase.
