Similar heights but very different builds. KF Batman has more natural proportions IMO, Rebirth has those giant thighs and a small upper body.

I do want to say that there are kitbash contenders.

For example:

Vs. Spawn Batman with the DC vs. Vampires clawed hands and black Hush head. That's INCREDIBLY close to a 90s JLA Batman. If you tinted the black very dark blue and got rid of the trunks, it would probably be the best Morrison JLA Batman ever made.

Got the Knightfall from Amazon but returned (still sealed). The sculpt is nice but I didnt like the cartoony capsule belt and bright yellow bat logo. Personal of course. Think the last Hush (muted blue/grey) is close to the definitive Batman for me.

I really struggle with this. Ideally I'd only keep one McFarlane main universe Bruce Wayne Batman - but it's so hard to choose one. For Mattel I kept the Batman they released in the first wave of DC Universe Classics (which is relatively close to what McFarlane calls Knightfall Batman but with slightly darker colors) and never really thought about replacing it. For McFarlane I have varied feelings on Knightfall, 3 Jokers, Rebirth and Hush. I've bought and kept them all, so far. Honestly I like the Jace Fox Future State Batman figure more than all of them, but that's a completely different character! Overall I still like that Mattel Batman that I referenced better than anything McFarlane has done so far.

KnightFAll Batman for me. The build is how Jim Aparo drew him and the build for Batman I like the most. Darken grey ever so slightly and he'd be perfect.

Not quite the same question as favorite, but which scales best with the rest of the Bat Family?

 

Three Jokers/Hush or Rebirth/Knightfall?

 

I have the original Nightwing, Damien Robin, 3 Jokers Batgirl, and I’m looking at getting the new Tim Robin but can’t decide which Batman would be best scale wise. Almost feels like one body is too big but the other is too small. What does everyone think/use? Thanks.

I bought 95% of the Batman releases so far and Knightfall Batman wins for me as well. I bought 5. Kept one as is. Grabbed the SDCC version and kept as is. Have one Dark Grey/Blue, one Light Grey/Black, and one Dark Grey/Black. Such a great figure.

Three Jokers/Hush scales way better with the batfam, since they are pretty oversized themselves.

Tough call. My black /grey Hush Batman (new version with closed mouth ofc) is on the main shelf with Bat family. Meanwhile knightfall batman is on his own, waiting for that dick grayson robin (if I ever get it here in Europe lol).

I'd give a slight edge to knightfall bats with Hush batman being close second.

My current favorite is the Spawn/Batman 2pack version with a head swap from the black/grey closed-mouth Hush. Thinking about swapping on the trunks from a Vampire Batman for a super-dark late-90s goth No Man’s Land look.

Got Knightfall Batman yesterday for my birthday and he's awesome.  I definitely say him, at least once they color him properly to match the card art.  And a Hush on that body would be amazing.

 

Honestly the Merciless Series one probably is tops for me because I love the Capullo art, but it's quite stylized obviously.

I’ve owned Three Jokers, Page Punchers, and the blue Hush, but Knightfall is the best McFarlane Batman. Page Punchers is also a great figure though, especially if you dont collect a lot of the multiverse line and want a good artist specific Batman. Hush is too big and Three Jokers too stiff.

If they McFarlane would redo Knightfall Batman with a cape that drapes over the shoulders and has points like the Spawn 2-pack version (but hopefully  much thinner/lighter), a yellow pouch belt, a very dark grey suit and much darker navy cape/cowl, it would probably be my favorite Batman toy.

Until that day, the Mezco One:12 previews exclusive is still the king of the Batman figures I own.
