baf is the nightmare bat from the deleted scene
Great to see a Batman Forever wave but that really is a waste of a BAF spot. Pretty disappointing that this could have been any other character and they went with this option. Can live with it as an "extra" but man...
Would have preferred a Chase Meridian figure over that bat puppet from the brief scene in the movie. Even a bowler hat Riddler or White Suit curly hair Riddler would have been better.
Is that Multiverse Mr. Freeze just the one we already have but with different coloring? Looks better if it is.
Really want Pfeiffer Catwoman, Devito Penguin and Nicholson Joker (along with Returns Batman Keaton) more than any other movie figures at this point.
I guess we still need a Schumaker Bane figure technically too, but that's less of a want for me.
Damn, I'm glad those are 2024. If I had to wait another whole year for Ambush Bug I'd have plotzed.
The Batman Forever wave could have just been a regular wave without a BAF. I don't understand having the giant bat as a BAF. Hell you could have done a Burtonverse Commissioner Gordon as BAF or a Chase Meridian figure as a BAF.
I will say these reveals have brought back some of my interest for this line; Bug, Freeze, Rock, the Forever wave and Sportsmaster are instant buys for me.
As for the chase figs, from what I've seen from buying documents it seems they'll be included in a wave with x2 core releases. So I'm assuming a case of 5 figs, x2 of each core release and then one of the chases. I don't hate it, if this is how Todd can get super obscure folks out I'll go this route.

Agreed - another good BAF could have been a Two-Face goon, they wear masks so its not like they would have any issues with likeness rights
Is it confirmed that Tim Drake will be getting a cloth cape? Don't know how I feel. Finally a Tim on the costume I like but not really a fan of soft goods. I wish Todd just did cloth capes from the start or not just do them.
I’ll take Batman Forever, the Tumbler, and the modern Tim/Starfire. Seems like a waste of a BAF spot with the giant bat (it really could have been just about any other character else from Schumacher’s universe and it would have been a better choice) UNLESS I can part swap it with ManBat. If it works with ManBat’s head and maybe legs, I am ready to ditch that top heavy figure.
Gotta say as someone who has done nothing but criticize McFarlane, I’m quite pleased with what I saw from these reveals. Now if they can just be easy enough to purchase, we will be 2 for 2.
Torn on figures like Sgt Rock, Ambush Bug, Penguin…nice figures that I never thought I’d pass on in a DC line but I’m missing so many classic characters already that it doesn’t seem worth it.
Yay, Cheeks!
Penguin, Robin, Freeze and Manga Batman look promising. Maybe the Tumbler.....I have sold off all my non Bat stuff so as cool Ambush bug looks I will be passing on the rest.
Is there anywhere to watch the panel? Apparently "ultra articulated" Spawn figures are coming this summer and I could be hype for that. Please.....DC was ....meh. Forever is cool, but don't do movies. Is Manhunter on a new body? It doesn't quite look like the traditional version, but looked neat. Freeze, Boomerang and Starfire all looked great. Still no Cyborg Superman....
In for the classic characters(Penguin, Ambush Bug, Sgt Rock etc) not into the New 52 or Rebirth stuff so less for me to hunt
Starfire was a much needed addition, so thankfully she looks amazing.
