Also also. This is the latest McF figure I bought. I've never been the biggest fan or blue and grey Batman. While I enjoy the interpretation of the suit by Bermejo, I also never loved it that much. I don't like when they copy the character's chest emblem for the belt buckle as well. He has the high crotch syndrome that I'll have to fix eventually. The cape material is a bit stiff (but thankfully not even half as much as on the recent video game Bats) and it can't lay flat on his back. And somehow, I love this figure so fucking much, it's genuinely one of my most favorite ones from Todd.

Of these most recent reveals I'll likely buy both Dr. Fates, the Platinum Two-Face, Batman 1,000,000 and Justice Lord Batman. No interest in Phygital Superman, Cowardly Lot Batman or any of the rainbow Batmen.

I’ll buy the full Digital Wave (standard versions) if I’m able to, but I’m getting that Dr. Fate come hell or high water.  Getting any Dr. Fate figure in the classic blue and yellow color scheme (including the helmet and amulet) is a perpetual Holy Grail for me.   The figure looks so good that I can even forgive the Blue Beetle double boot tops.

I like the Digital figures and will probably get them. I skipped Justice Lords Superman and will skip Justice Lords Batman, I think I'm used to their animated look instead of a comic book look. Nothing looks special about the pouch belt Batman (cowardly lot people are calling it), easy pass. DC One Million Batman is interesting, but I'm sure there will not be other DC One Million figures.

It's funny, the look that figure is based off of is the first one to show up when I google Batman One Million but was only drawn that way in Detective Comics. The other Batman titles to show Batman One Million have him wearing a slightly different look. The mask is different & the belt does not connect, kind of like the Earth 2 Robin. The head looks like a new sculpt but I figured they would just use the Speeding Bullets head.

I skipped the Bullseye Batman and really don't want the rainbow outfits, even if they do all of the colors. I skipped the DC Collectibles versions because they used the Super Friends Batman instead of the Silver Age Batman that existed. I wonder how many more Batman figures will come out in the next year and a half.

The only Batman figure I would like to see done is from issues 11 & 12 from the 1986 Hex series. Jonah Hex is sent to a post apocalyptic future and there is a future version of Batman there. It was something different at that time, even though I didn't collect the entire series, just those 2 issues. A 2 pack of Hex & Batman would be interesting.

Big fan of that Orange/Purple Two face. Not sure I need another McF Superman but it looks decent for those that do. Dr Fate, I dropped the JSA figures a while back so that will be a miss for me.
