I feel you for Riddler & Scarecrow - others like Ivy, Robin and regular Joker can be found super cheap everywhere yet Freeze, Riddler & Scarecrow are like gold dust!

It's odd they would release a "Beware the Batman" villain before Batman himself! Also the show isn't exactly well regarded so I'm surprised they even made one from the show

It's too bad they didn't give the show a chance because the second half was much better than the first half.

I think we just wanted to make an animated Deathstroke, and he wasn't in TAS. No plans for a BTB Batman.

Hi Zach, is the BTAS resin bust line now finished ?

[DSTZach]

I am not aware of anything in development right now, but I thought we were done before we did Deathstroke and the new Harley. So never say never.

[JAG2045]

Hi Zach, do you know if more of some of the rarer busts which apparently didn't see all 3000 get released (like Mr Freeze, Scarecrow, Riddler, Penguin) will be getting the remaining stock out into the market at any point?

[DSTZach]

I am not aware of any new runs, or even if those were not fully produced.

Hi Zach. My question is why start so many avenues, Superman TAS and so on, without making a dent? In Batman Beyond, how many? Two, not counting variants?? In Justice League, the original line-up wasn't even completed. You would have to take Bats and Supes to complete the line-up. IMO you should have just concentrated on just two and leave it as that. You just teased us and then pull the rug from under our feet. Thank you.

Sorry you feel that way. Teasing was not intended.

I imagine sales played a part. If the Superman line had performed as strongly as the Batman line, we might have gotten to Parasite, Metallo, etc., but I don't know that Supergirl, Lex Luthor, etc. sold as well as the Bat-foes. Justice League same thing -- not sure how well GL, GA, Flash did. Martian Manhunter is a character who never sells very well in general, so I can see why he was put off.

I think Beyond was just done to get the Batman design, and we made three versions. Old Bruce was a nice side bonus, but I probably would have gone with a villain, not that any of them are terribly well-known outside of the show's core fan base (Shriek, Inque). Maybe a future JL member? Warhawk, Barda? I love Barda, but again, not mega-popular characters.
