Funny that you mention Batman being a bystander when these battles take place with the other worldly characters. BVS was on the TV yesterday and the part of the movie where they were battling Doomsday, Batman was just chilling as Wonder Woman (she was definitely kicking some you know what in those scenes) and Superman was doing all the fighting for the most part. Yeah he didn't want no parts of that. haha
Yep…I always feel that Batman shines on his own and then falters when he is with the Justice League because he is underpowered when placed in fantasy/sci fi setting instead of his usual urban crime setting. Because of this I always hate when Batman is placed in the JL because I always feel it diminishes him.
Yeah that's the end scene in had in mind as comparison. I'm sure Snyder was also aware of it, and therefore came up with something more suitable for the second otherworldly powered end battle in JL.
Yeah @Alatar you right as far as Batman's contributions to the scene an doing his part, but was really just acknowledging @Hoody999 comment about Batman physically mixing it up with the likes of the really powerful villains as opposed to the normal riff raff. Like I said, it was just funny seeing that scene on TV yesterday and @Hoody999 post just made me envisioning how maybe Batman was rethinking life in that scene (screencap below). haha???
1) Batman lures Doomsday to the deserted island where the Kryptonite spear is that can kill it. He formulates and shares that plan to use the spear to kill Doomsday.
2) Batman waits until the critical moment to fire his last remaining Kryptonite mist grenade at Doomsday. Doomsday inhaling the dust may well have proven decisive in that battle. We’ll never really know although maybe one day if someone asks Zack Snyder about it I’m sure the answer will be, yes, it made Doomsday just vulnerable enough to be killed, etc.
Superman provided the muscle and the sacrifice of his own life. Wonder Woman weakened Doomsday first with Godkiller with the cut to the Achilles and by holding him with the Lasso of Truth. And Batman‘s contributions are already noted. It was a team effort for sure.
Hope that changes overtime just like how it did for me.
It was an online retailer and not a retail store and it was still sealed in the brown shipper so my guess is that whatever climate controlled warehouse it was kept in must have been very favorable. Brand new no different than any other figure that I have bought directly from Sideshow.
I despised the theatrical JL so I hated this design along with it…conversely, ZSJL is my all time favorite super hero movie so I have an all new appreciation for this incarnation of Batman.
Congrats. He's a cool figure. In the end I decided on the Tactical version myself. But am totally with you.
Thanks! Not going to lie…if I can find a price that I can live with on the Tactical, I’ll grab that one too…the combination of my love for the film and how well the other figure came out (can’t believe that the cape is actually stock, I think it’s beautiful) I now want both on my shelves.
You’re killing me! I’ve already been day dreaming about whether I will display with goggles on, goggles off, or goggles raised on forehead! The temptation!
