IGN: Top 10 Coolest Batman Statues


"As part of our ongoing celebration of Batman's 75th anniversary, we've decided to spotlight the 10 coolest Batman statues of all time. But first, a few ground rules. In the interest of narrowing down the pool of candidates, we limited our selections to statues and busts, not action figures, LEGO sets, and so forth. We also limited our choices to statues that feature Batman himself in some capacity, so statues featuring just characters like Joker, Catwoman, Batgirl, etc. were out of the running. And finally, this list includes only products that have been released and are officially licensed by DC."

This list is meh

 

[BurningRage]

They didn't even put the life size bust

 

[DarthChrisDK]

The bust definitely is missing. The list also proves how few awesome statues are out there, officially. There are numerous awesome Batman statues out there, that didn't make this list, because they are not officially licensed.

Most likely IGN didnt even compile this list. They really like money before they shove out articles.

I wrote the list. I made the choices. But don't let me stop you from making the same "I don't like their picks, therefore someone bribed them" accusations I see all the time.

[Sweet Rabbit]

where's the first Dark Knight Returns statue?

 

[Kicksplode]

Believe it. I've been writing for them for a long time.

 

[RagingBull]

Believe it. I've been writing for them for a long time.

Really, that's cool.

So what's it like working with them. Have you ever been in any of there videos?

 

[SolidLiquidFox]

Believe it. I've been writing for them for a long time.

I think we are all waiting to hear how can you seriously leave out the Sideshow 1:1 bust from that list. Not to mention the other WB Store animated series Batman maquette.

 

[Kicksplode]

I work from home, and I'm on the other side of the country from the IGN offices, so I haven't been in any videos. I've written a couple video things and been on the Comics podcast a few times, but that's it. But it's a pretty cool job, especially the working from home part.

I don't particularly care for the 1:1 bust, and I like the DC Direct maquette better than the WB Shop one.

 

[a2themonster]

When I read the list the some that I thought could have been included were: the modern age life size bust , I would've included the keaton bats on pre-order, although that codpiece lol is massive, and I love the artfx kotobukiya statue..its too small for me to own but damn if it don't look good. But it comes down 2 personal preference and I thought it was a solid list…plus I'm an IGN fanboy!

 

[Kicksplode]

I would have loved to include the Keaton PF if it were out now. Hopefully the final product is good enough that it'll be a contender when and if I ever update the list. Maybe when Batman vs. Superman comes out.

 

[Josh-A-Tron]

No offense to the original list but I'm just gonna leave these here for general consumption

 

[devilof76]

What's that last one?

 

[BurningRage]

What's that last one?

Classic confrontations line Batman vs. Joker.

 

[devilof76]

Damn. I've never seen it before.

Is it the same line as Bats vs. Croc?

 

[BurningRage]

Damn. I've never seen it before. Long gone, I assume?

Yup but DC Collectibles have been re-releasing statues lately so maybe this will be too one day.
