Are people bailing on the Arkham line already?

When you say the best, are you comparing them to other video game designs, or making a broader comparison?

For me, the Batman designs I like the most are the Dark Knight Returns, the Batman cartoon from the 90s, Jim Lee's interpretation, and finally the Arkham games versions. When I was younger, I would say it was between the 90s cartoon interpretation and Jim Lee's take on him, but as I've gotten older, I now think the Arkham games have the best Batman designs I've seen. It could also be because with the comics and cartoons, I was more of a spectator reading about Batman, but with the games, I'm controlling him and actually feel like I'm Batman. I would also imagine if Batman was real and facing enemies like Bane, Killer Croc, Mr. Freeze, etc., he'd actually need to wear something like in the games. Otherwise, he'd probably get killed within the first week lol.

I never played the games so I will look at how the comic versions will come out. Will p1 make a comic 1/3 stroker? I'm sure it's possible now that we are getting comicbook versions of the DC characters. Also a comic Harley would be cool too.

I agree. They're some of the best. Their Two-Face and Scarecrow are absolutely incredible. It kills me not to get them. But I just can't. If not for the money, for the space. They're way too big.

GOD I WISH THEY WERE 1/4.

This, exactly. For whatever reason, I didn't play Arkham Asylum until Arkham City came out, and the very first few minutes I played it, I was blown away by how everything was so perfect. The suit, the character designs, the environment and atmosphere, and they even brought in the voice actors from the Animated Series. I don't think anything outside of the comic medium has better represented the world of Batman than the Arkham games.

I have to agree with you, I want all the bad guys but displaying is an issue. 1/4 = perfect

Go with Pax, it makes displaying 1/3 and 1/4 nearly interchangeable. I love it

too many 1/3 pieces in a short amount of time. Imo, they should have done maybe 5 characters from this franchise, then moved on. Over saturation, definitely. Unless one only collects this line, which maybe 1% of collectors do, it's too difficult to keep up with it financially and space wise.

Still have bane on pre order and cant wait until he is released. I decided to go with prime 1 over the sideshow version.

It's too much to collect the whole line, but we are getting Batman figures that we would normally never see and may never see ever again, which is good. Sucks that they are 1/3 scale, but we may never see certain versions of Batman ever again. I for one, love the Flashpoint Batman. I have to buy it because I'm not confident there will ever be a 1/4 scale.
