does anyone know why the unpainted cop head doesn't have the PERS eyes in it? wouldn't it make sense for both heads to have it instead of just one?
With Cop Joker, A) it's very short, slicked back hair, and B) the representation had such little screen time, you can pretty much nail down the portrait to a specific look, so I imainge they just decided to do a standard head painted with standard, forward looking eyes, it works for most poses. I think PERS, for the sake of cost, will probably be reserved for heads/characters that really would benefit from the diversity. Some would say every figure could use it and I agree, but if you're going to cut back to keep price down, then there are criteria you can come up with to determine if a figure should get it or not.
Batman will probably come with another Bruce head. So I would bet the Batman head would get the PERS and not Bruce.
With Batman, I think we may just get 2 Batman heads or 2 Batman heads and a Bruce head. If they do the sonar effect, that should be a head all by itself as even with the lights off, it wouldn't look right for non-sonar Batman. Then you have the standard cowled head. If they have those, I'm thinking slim chances of a Bruce but maybe. I really think with Batman, electronic sonar head would take place of PERS head, I don't think PERS is worth it on Batman, part of the coolness of the way he's shot is rarely seeing his eyes, PERS should be used on characters where the eyes play a big part of defining their presence on screen.
