Black & White Batman - Arkham Asylum

Bayard really showed an interest in the Batman Black and White series, so I figured that I would start highlighting them a little more often. This one is based on the Batman: Arkham Asylum game.

I still don't undersand the affinity that so many people have with Batman; however, I don't really have an affinity with any of the characters.

Points in Favor
  • The detail. This series always does a decent job of following the source for the statue.
  • Good pose. Nothing major. Just a "going to kick your ass" pose.
  • As it is based on the game, it is a bit different then the typical monochromatic statues.
Points Against
  • I already have 3 Batman statues.
  • I guess you have to understand the monochromatic pose.
Recommendation: Neutral. If I started buying this series, I would probably want ones that I could put next to the villains. Like the recently released Neal Adams based Man-Bat.
