Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

Those stupid black eyes.... I take "nipple-eye" Two face original design over TNBA Joker any day of the week.

Gee Gaspar, thanks for the imagery! :lol

Yeah, if I remember correctly, the final episode of Batman Beyond was related to JLU. And Superman the animated series is also canon. They had a few crossover episodes :)

You're right on both accounts. STAS is canon and and so is Static Shock. Plus STAS will be the only time you could see Supes beat up Bane.

The final chronological episode of the DCAU is "Epilogue" where they give closure to BTAS and Batman Beyond. I'd rather not discuss anything about it in case anybody hasn't seen it yet but that episode is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life. :lol

Yeah, I remember Epilogue :) But I totally forgot about static Shock :lol I remember the Joker was in a crossover episode against Static Shock and he tried using his joy buzzer against Static Shock, but it didn't work :lol Also, that's my favorite Joker design, which is the same design they used in Batman Beyond return of the joker and JLU. It's actually the closest design to Bruce Timm's art work in the comics.
 
Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

Just heard Joker and Man Bat are being made too. Seems like there is no unified source for info on these figures. Where are you all getting your info from? Any word on official retailers of these figurs and/or release dates?

Yeah, Harley, Ivy, Alfred, Gordon and Bullock (with some of the best lines ever) were all in Static as well. I really love the JL Joker a lot. He looks older and seriously menacing.

I wouldn't mind a JL Batman/Joker two pack at all.

Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

It wasn't just the one piece suit, I mean, atleast that was in the style of the Frank Gorshin Riddler. The bald head, black eyes and slippers is what got me the most. I also think the Joker is an abomination with those eyes and lack of lips, but I digress. :lol


And yeah, Clayface. To me, he died in Mudslide. Having that crap with TNBA undermined that entire episode. Also, I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I thought Freeze was better in the series when his wife was actually DEAD, not frozen in some tube like a snow globe angel. I wouldn't have had a problem with Heart of Ice being the only appearance of Mr. Freeze. It said all it needed to about such a tragic character. It's like they saw the success of that great episode and instead of leaving it alone as a stand alone (like they should have), they attempted to recreate it. Just when you think it's over and they give him the proper send off, there he is, back with spider legs.

Yeah, it probably would've been best, had he died in Mudslide, but, then, too, that's one episode where I never understood Batman's line of thinking. The chemicals he stole were from Wayne Enterprises, Batman was constantly offering to help him, presumably, using Wayne resources, yet, when Clayface is on the verge of remedying his condition, Batman shuts the whole thing down. It was one episode, where I was actually rooting for the bad guy because he really is one of those tragic characters. He gets dealt a **** hand, tries to live his life after being dealt said **** hand, but, in the process, becomes indebted to ****** people, said ****** people deal him yet another **** hand, and then he has to live as a monster because of said, latter, **** hand.

As far as Freeze goes, as I said, I like the idea of what the Spider legs represent, more than I like the Spider legs, to me, it's one of those things where Freeze is sympathetic because of his goal of trying to save his wife, but, at the same time, it's that quest, I think, that keeps him human. If I remember, I thought he cured Nora, and she moved on, at his insistence, but, in doing so, the human part of him faded away more and more, and I think the spider legs were the creators' way of literalizing that.

In regards to Riddler, though, yes, absolutely no contest there; the only good thing about that character was his voice.:lol

Probably in series 4. The next wave will probably have 3 new adventures figures and only 1 BTAS figure, and it could be anyone, the Riddler, Penguin, Harley, Clayface...and the list goes on and on. He should have been in the first series.

With any luck, though, we get both solicited relatively close together. Ideally, we'd get some prototypes at SDCC, with solicitations around the time these two start shipping.

TNBA Joker was the abomination o the bunch and 17 years later I would still as "What were they thinking?" :slap



Since the series continued longer than what they had planned, I guess we should allow that slide (no pun intended). Clayface last appeared in the JL episode where he finally gets blown to pieces and that was his final chronological appearance.

Thankfully for all the characters that had to be stretched thin (again, no pun intended), we got truly magnificent stuff like Freeze's closure in Batman Beyond or Catwoman's in JLU.



So is Justice League and JLU. I always wondered why some fans never considered JL as a part of the series when clearly it is a direct sequel, and a great one too.

TNBA Joker never bothered me quite as much as it did some people. It was inferior to pretty much every other variation of Timm's Joker, but, I don't know, he just didn't leave much of an impact. Perhaps because of the quality of some of the episodes he was in, the design just seemed sort of secondary when you've got material like Mad Love, and Hamill delivering it.

That's an excellent point about Freeze, though. They really did give him quite the send off on Beyond, didn't they.

Hope this helps!

DC Collectibles released a group photo that just amps me up. These are going to look great together.

https://www.facebook.com/DCCollectibles The first wave comes out this November and wave 2 December. So far there are 8 figures and you can pre order them all right now from Big Bad Toy Store and Entertainment Earth. com. I'm sure there are other places besides those two, like your local comic book store, if you have one.

Cool. Thanks for the info! Will DC Collectibles be selling these directly from theirwebsite as well?

Yeah, and I wouldn't mind STAS and Batman Beyond figures either. If these sell well, who knows? The sky is the limit.

I don't know. I didn't know you could buy directly from them. I always buy my figures from BBTS, Ebay and other online stores.

Is man bat available from BBTS? I can't seem to find him on their site.
 
Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

Yup, and his nose should be longer. And he should have red on his upper lip and maybe a little larger, more elongated head. His orange vest should also be cut different at the waist, not a straight line.

Honestly, after seeing the others, this isn't a very good attempt. There's a lot wrong with it. The maquette they did years back is so much better (save for the lack of black in the hair).

They could have definitely made the upper teeth a little bit longer to better match the animation design...
 
Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

I've got all of these preordered except Robin and Poison Ivy. Ivy's animated version is way more iconic imo and I just don't care about Robin. Man-Bat looks awesome even with the ltd articulation.
 
Re: DC Collectibles doing Batman The Animated Series figures!!!!!

Got all these pre-ordered I can't wait until November...
