Man, I still have yet to play the game. Judging by the last two, I'm just going to assume it'll be worth buying at a Black Friday sale or off the used rack, right?

The figures look awesome. Not a fan of the design for Bane, but they look like they'll fit right in with DCC's already released Arkham figures. Surprisingly, my favorite is Joker - I love how the design looks; different enough, but still Joker-y and not outlandish like the Injustice costume. The Batsuit is pretty cool too. I've actually been avoiding the ads for this game to prevent it from being spoiled for me (like AC was), so I haven't seen much of the costume designs. So who else is popping up in Wave 2?

Caleb, the game is really worth playing. Get your hands on it when you can.

Figures look great, too. I won't be buying all of them but there are a few in my for sure pile.

I bought the entire first wave, and as usually DCC did a great job on the sculpting. Batman is the gem though he us just as poseable as a Marvel Legends figure, and he looks great battling my NECA Predators I really wish the rest of the figures could have been given that type/level of articulation. Bane looks pretty cool and he has DCUC style hips, but the sculpted details on his legs makes it pretty much useless especially his right leg. I'm really tempted to cut off that canister that is impeding the articulation on the right leg. For the rest of his articulation Bane also has a bend and swivel at the elbows and knees, and a swivel at the wrist. But unfortunately he doesn't any diagram joint/ab crunch, waist twist, or ankle articulation. Oh and also why couldn't they have given him at least one fist. I really like the look and sculpt of Joker and Black Mask, but I was really disappointed their articulation was very limited just like that on the older DC Direct figures. I was especially disappointed with the Black Mask he doesn't even have knee joints, but they gave him ankle articulation .

I finally got around to snapping up the AO Batman and believe me, this guy is worth picking up. He's really quite incredible and way more articulated than any of the other AO figures from DCC. I reviewed him last night here: http://www.thepicreview.com/2014/01/action-figure-review-batman-from-arkham.html and he's definitely one of my favorite 6-7 inch scale Batman figures ever.

I also reviewed the rest of series one back in November:

Wow, very informative, BBQ. Thanks a lot for this!

No problem, my friend! It gives me more of an excuse to buy every Batman figure!
