I just don't get how there wasn't a single Batman or Joker figure. Even like Shazam I think was worthy of a figure and it was actually announced and teased if I remember correctly. That would be a really cool and unique release.
The biggest blunder on their part is the Phoenix Joker. Holy ****, talk about a missed opportunity and getting caught with your pants down. That film has been huge, Joker is an iconic figure (and what I'd argue put Hot Toys on the map) and there's nothing. Nada. No teaser, no announcement, no figure. Sure, there might be some legal reason they didn't make it, but it would have been the perfect time to release that awesome Romero Joker or another Jack Joker or a Ledger Nurse Joker or something Joker related, right?
Yet we got like 4 versions of the Jared Leto Joker, 3 versions of Harley Quinn and that stupid Deadshot Will Smith a few years ago. It's just baffling to me. That company has no sense of zeitgeist.
I'd really like to see Sonar Batman and Robin go up for order this year, just to break up the monotony of Hot Toys right now. They're just not fun anymore. There was that one year we got things like Bespin Luke, Keaton Batman, Nicholson Joker, Indiana Jones and Reeve Superman, all within the same year. It was amazing. Now it's like, if it's not Marvel or Star Wars, it's not happening.
