Zimm's Two Cents
As Robin was yesterday, Batman is today. And how cool is he!
Points in Favor

• The colors, as always, are bright and vibrant.
• Portrayed as a true "nightmarish" creature of the night.
• Great details to the gloves, belt, and (of course) the boots.
• Nice counter piece to the Ame-Comi Robin piece coming out at the same time.
• Maintained the seriousness of the face, while still creating the variation.

Points Against

• The bases on these are a little 'flat'. (Other than that, not much).

Recommendation: Hot Buy. This has to go with the Robin!

Robert's Two Cents
Again, I'm enjoying the Ame-Comi pieces. Like Zimm says the bases are bland. I believe this is intentional in the case of this series. They're keeping the focus on the piece instead of the "background". Some pieces scream for a really nice detailed base (Maestro?), but others, don't (Black Canary).
Points in Favor

• I believe this is the first male Ame-Comi piece.
  
• They managed to keep the dark brooding side of Batman and yet they managed to make him appear youthful. They did a good job.
  
• Very dark and intimidating.
• Might have to buy this one.
• Still need to pickup the Huntress.
  

Points Against

• Not so much a point against as a comment. Haven't we all had enough alternate reality versions of Batman? Also don't we all have enough Batman statues, figures, or whatever collectible?
• The other side of what I just said is, I respect that DC waited this long before releasing Batman, even if they have already done two Batgirls and two Catwomans.
  

Recommendation: Hot Buy. This If you buy this one you need the Robin from yesterday's post. I wonder what Zimm's niece will say about Batman's shoes.
