I prefer the yellow utility belt on the AK version, though.

Then I noticed that the price is $65 more than the original AK piece. Less sure this is worth the hassle of selling the AK one and getting this one... Plus, I have a few other AK designs on order. I will be getting the AO Joker, though, for sure.

Kinda where I am on it. Side by side I like the AO suit better but they are super similar statues and the portraits and base are better on the AK piece imho. Too difficult to justify buying both, and I refuse to take a loss on the AK piece, for differences only I would know.

Had the AO Batman had kept an angelic base, ala the original concept art, that mirrored Slade's the decision may have been more difficult for me.

Man I'll probably have both displayed together, like a first suit versus last suit kind of thing. Idk I love batman.

EDIT: posted in correct thread, sorry too many batman statues!

I love the black costume and would have bought this if it came with an additional black emblem chest plate.

Thanks for those pics "you should have posted the pics in the Arkham Night section ;-)"

By the way I'm very happy to see it. I've PO this Batman and hopefully will get it next month.

Congrats Gagaliya

The black suit is wonderful ! The emblem doesn't seem too shiny.

@candyrocket786 It's a really good idea, it would be perfect

This is an awesome statue; however, as has been said before, I own the AK Batman statue and therefore cannot justify to buy another one. Plus, I like the portraits on the AK Bats better than this one, at least as far as I can tell from seeing the pictures. However, what seems to be a lot better on the AO Bats is the size of the head compared to the other body parts. This is what is disturbing me with the AK Bats, that the head is simply way to small for the rest of the body.

The exclusive is awesome and is certainly great displayed next to Deathstroke holding his exclusive Batman cowl.

Any rumours about when this might start to ship? Sideshow shows Jan-March.

I heard from a few people in China that their distributor (whoever that is) told them that the piece is shipping now along with Nightwing and SS Joker and guts and a few other pieces. Still haven't seen any pics pop up.
