What the fuck? I've never watched an episode of that shit show but having my favorite Batman villain tampered with in such a way is making me very angry.
Wait wait wait, you are saying that the Batman:TAS is shit? and secondly calling it shit because they changed Freeze's origin which they did not do at all?
He's talking about The Batman.
All I know of Mr. Freeze from that is he says, "You're slippery as ice, Batman."
Whoever wrote that line must have done Arnolds dialogue in Batman and Robin.
Im sorry to keep labouring this, but Google is being no help atall? Does anyone know what became of the toyline that was to be 'DCs answer to Marvel Legends'? I think they we by Mattel, and picture from some show or convention were shown. I think the whole lot was Superman and Batman characters, I think there was Supes, Bizzaro, Batman, Killer Croc, Bane, Azrael and Scarecrow, all very nice with cool bases and a decent amount of articulation. What happened with those? I have found no evidence that they ever came out, and its been ages (to the point that the posts in question have been culled from the boards)
I am curious about this too. Perhaps a brave enough soul could venture to newsarama or toy news international forums and inquire there? Keep in mind that more of all "info" there is almost certiainly bullshit.
Found something, small though it is, on TNI. The line is called (imaginativley) DC Superheros, is indeed by Mattel, and the first 5 series are as follows:
Series 1: (Batman)
Bane, Batman, Scarecrow, Killer Croc
Series 2: (Superman)
Bizarro, Supergirl, Superman, Doomsday
Series 3: (Batman)
Azrael, Battle Damaged Batman, Robin, Mr. Freeze
Series 4: (Batman)
Stealth Jump Batman, Batgirl, Two-Face, Joker
Seems they will retail for $8.99 a go, and it seems series 1 and 2 are for april, 3 for may, 4 in june and 5 in july. None of this seems too reliable but better than nothing. Some of the boxes are shown and contain 'free' comics.

Series 1 of the 'DC Superheroes' line has been out for awhile. I've only seen them at Toys R Us and Target. Batman, not surprisingly, seems to be a tough find.
The dates were for availability on some store, so maybe april is when series 1 will be available again, explains why 2 sets come out in a month.
I want that Batman if I can get it, and maybe Bane. I dont mind too much about the Superman series but I might get Bizarro. Definatly Azrael, maybe Robin, Two Face and Joker.
I cant find them in any UK stores though...
Edit: Seems the Batman in series 1 is the blue-cowl one, I wanted the black/grey one, its in a box marked Batman:The Dark Knight, so it seems to be a differnet release (its not just a recolour)
I might rethink my stand on that batman, though he is a bit blue, think it should be darker.
The list I posted must be wrong if there are 2 Batgirls (who labeled Cass 'Batwoman' though?)
Azrael looks good except his neck looks odd. Maybe the right pose will sort that though.
Not sure about Joker's accessories though, look like out of the cheap toys of yesteryear rather than for collectable figures.
Well, they are being marketed for kids to actually play with, unlike DC Direct figures. Now if I had a kid, and saw the little tyke taking a DCD figure and actually playing with it..I thinkI would go a little off the handle. "I didn't pay $14.95 for an action figure so you could go PLAY with it!"

I didn't pay $15 for an action figure so it wouldn't be played with.
Well, that's also true. I did finally end up opening a few of my DCD First Appearance figures. My only complaint is Batmans pose. I think they tried to make him look like he's crossing his arms, though it looks more like he's trying to protect his junk. I guess the golden age suit didn't come with a cup. It would explain the anger.

They need to make a Nightwing figure, with his current costume. The only one of those I know about is the Hush figure, and it's expensive/hard to find.

On that note, what the fuck happened in Arkham Asylum?
Haha, I've been wondering that since I first read it back in December. As far as I can tell, it has utterly confusing art, dialogue that is a lot of the time unreadable because of the font/color choices, and The Joker has a ridiculously sized face.
I am very excited about Morrison on Batman. I have found the Batman in the comics for the past several years to be an utter asshole. Hopefully, Grant will make him not such an asshole and not so crazy.
I still think its something more elaborate than it just being Jason Todd resurrected. Unless its some mad Joker plan.
Does Joker realize at this point its a different Robin? I just remember, I think it was in Robin 3, Joker flipping the fuck out the first time he actually meets Tim.

I hope you mean kill Jason again instead of killing Robin, because Tim's cool.
Of course I mean Jason. Ever since the Hush arc I've been dreading the day when Jason Todd becomes another mainstay character again, whether he's Red Hood, Nightwing, or anything.

That would be cool to see.
Also, why does everyone think Jason has to be Nightwing? Am I the only one who thinks that's a stupid idea?

I'm pretty sure it's not a Joker plan, since, you know, Jason searched for the joker, beat him with a crowbar, and was like "How's it taste motherfucker"

No, you're not the only one. In regards to Jason being Nightwing, if you look at the covers for Nightwing: OYL, it's pretty apparent that he's (Jason) supposed to be doing his thing in Bludhaven.

I'm aware of this, and I think it's stupid. Jason should have his own identity.

Here's some pictures of some of the other figs while I'm at it.

Fuck, that's even better than Dini.
That's like him writing the seventy million other things he already writes.
God bless you, Grant Morrison, for your take on everything.
Haha, I've been wondering that since I first read it back in December. As far as I can tell, it has utterly confusing art, dialogue that is a lot of the time unreadable because of the font/color choices, and The Joker has a ridiculously sized face.
Ive seen a bunch of that guys work but never that one, easily the best yet.
And good news on Morrison and Dini, they'll fix everything!
But isnt he having a ton of creative control over the DCU at large? I thought he was directing a ton of '52' and OYL for all titles.
But why (how) are Bats and Robin swinging on one rope?
They're climbing, not swinging.
:winky:
So?
Batman's a fucking detective, he doesn't have to Kung-Fu everything in his way.
The Red Hood arc will / should be over by the time Morrison gets Batman, unless of course they decide to keep him.

A book that is like The Shield, but with a vigiante instead of a cop. I think it could work.
This needs to happen again...and this time, make it permanent.
