Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

I personally only get full statues of characters I really like. For JL that would be GL, Bats, and Supes. If I ever decide to complete a team I'd rather just get mini-busts of the remaining characters (if that were an option), something that Bowen allowed me to do.

There was a GBG thread posted 18-20 months ago, but it's no longer here for some reason. I believe this was to be the 2nd statue in the Tweeterhead/Jason Wire Productions collaboration. The conceptual design for 3rd statue had also been approved by Warner Bros. with Jason Wire teasing it was one of the following :

1. Fabok Bats
2. Grim Knight Bats
3. Red Son Bats
4. Batman Beyond
5. Owlman (Quitely)
6. Flashpoint Bats
7. Hellbat Armor Bats

I would love for Chad to prove me wrong, but I suspect GBG [and whatever the 3rd statue was supposed to be] may be just another in the long list of projects he's failed to deliver on. I love Chad's enthusiasm, but at this point I don't get excited about any potential projects until I see them up for pre-order.

Yep, that's it. Good find. Man that could've been really good, just from that teaser IMO, would've been the best Gaslight Bats on the market. I also would've taken any one of the ones from that list (which looks very familiar) for the 3rd one.

It could also be that the idea was scrapped because DC Comics is in disarray and beyond Chad's control. Someone may have approved it before all the issues they were having but they could have been replaced...by an AT&T person I would assume....that no longer green lit the idea. The fact they are no longer producing their own statues is a big indicator of things there.

Just looking at it from another perspective.

That's actually your list so I imagine it would look familiar. I agree, based on the teaser alone, this would have been the GBG for me.

I can agree with what Jeremy is saying. I think the one thing we sometimes forget about is that DC has the final say about what gets produced and the look of the statue. Now Chad has maybe put the GBG Batman on the back burner because he wanted to concentrate on other statues or maybe he is still waiting for the OK by DC.

Since this is going to be a big year for Tweeterhead maybe GBG Batman is on the list.

You mentioned you had seen a little - how's the Wonder Woman look? The shadow image is instant buy

What I hope is that the people who are all up in arms about the Super Powers line still get their statues to complete Big 7. Aren't Flash and Aquaman the only missing pieces, seems like an easy enough ask.

What I think people fail to understand is that characters needs to be made in different styles to fund the cost of making the random C-D peeps. The Perez Zatanna is a STRETCH to sell, so she might be back-burnered for a hot minute. I understated that. But I say that I will be soooo sad if we don't get Hawkgirl. I want that statue badly. Hell, I don't even care modern or vintage in style - just give me a mace swinging Hawkgirl!

She’s beautiful, and the base is awesome.

Excellent news. I like to hope she’s your favorite of the three, but I know you love Supes . I’m sad she will probably be released last.
