I have Batman Beyond, might as well get Batman Before.
Well, I've been flirting with the idea of getting the
Batman from
Gotham by Gaslight for a while now, and I finally found him for cheap.
If he looks a bit off that's because he is based on how he looked in the comic book and not the animated movie. While a simple design, he has sculpted
stiches on his mask, emblem and the soft-plastic part of his cape, the one that goes over his shoulders. The rest of the cape is made out of soft goods, and the overall look is pretty cool. He comes with four
tiny knives, and four hands. He has a pair of semi-open hands, a right gripping hand, that can't hold the knives and a
special left hand with a slot for the knives.
Articulation is par for the course with the line. We get swivels on the biceps, thighs and waist, a hinged ab crunch, double jointed knees and single jointed elbows.
Sadly, the elbows only reach a ninety-degree bend.
The only limitation is the soft-plastic part of the cape, this is as high as his arms can go, and the collar limits how much Bats can turn his head. He is a bit taller than Bucky Cap.
While the articulation could've been better, this is overall a good figure and a good representation of the character, and I do like having a new version of Batman to play with.
