I'm surprised sideshow didn't pound us with back to back orders
just ordered poison ivy and that last pic with batman in it made me fear i missed him - so just for the slow ones (me) no batman pf has been offered yet? (Ive recently started collecting after a long break).

Which Bat-Time and which Bat-Channel?No Bat... yet. Stay tuned.
Sideshow takes risks with poses sometimes. They aren't Bowen. Sometimes it works better than others, and some are going to like a given piece more than others. Personally, I think this is gonna look fine on the shelf.BUT WHY do they have his right leg turning in towords his body?? it looks so girly IMO. From the front it's not as bad (but still bad) but it really looks girly from the side view. I just don't get that pose. In fact the whole pose looks sort of feminine. Not as strong as a Batman stance should be.

New pics
Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about PJs for full body costumes. I hate how cheap they look, I hate how it gives statues a mego doll look, and I hate how it covers all the muscular definition of a sculpt. I was really hoping the cape would be cloth for the mixed media element and the costume fully sculpted. I'm trying real hard to keep an open mind. Batman is my favorite DC character by far. It really isn't even close. I want to like this piece.
All I can say after seeing this pic of Bats is that this statue looks incredible. I can't believe the details that are visible even with a cloth costume. I don't know how SSC did it, but it's damn impressive. His abs and ribs can clearly be seen through the cloth. This is some incredible craftsmanship on the part of SSC's creative department. I never thought this would be possible. Not only am I going to PO this piece, but I'm actually excited to do so. IMHO, this is the finest mixed media statue I have ever seen. I was originally going to buy one and strip off the costume and have someone customize it to a fully sculpted piece. If he looks as good in hand as he does in the pics above, that will hardly be necessary.
