To me the Tweeter head looks better, and at nearly half price is just the nail in the coffin.

Yeah i’m not a fan of that costume either. SS base is better though, while XM used the idea their base doesnt look particularly good.

The whole line is based on comic covers. They don´t use the idea, they produce the cover as a statue! It´s the 80 years of Batman iconic covers line.

And out of the myriad of iconic batman covers from the last 80 years they use one with a gravestone theme.

Don’t even think that cover is considered iconic, honestly think xm just wanted to do a gravestone batman like SS.

And if i’m being totally honest, while i think the figure itself looks good (aside from the suit texturing and the base) this statue doesn’t do that cover justice. Maybe the figure is a bit too short idk.

Seems to be crouching weirdly. Wonder if that's because he is facing us, while on the cover his body is a bit sideways.

Using your logic then SS did nothing but copy all the DC Collectible Statues where Batman was standing on or near a gargoyle statue, also DC Collectibles has a few statues of Batman with graves stones, so I guess SS copied them on that.

Oh wait lets take another step forward into absurd conversations since you seem to like them, SS copied DC Collectibles black and grey outfit because DC Collectibles did it first...

your such a troll

Nah man, batman on gargoyles, rooftops, etc are common batman motif’s, no different than a superman fortress base or a ww greek base, but batman in graveyards isn’t as common place, before SS i hadn’t/haven’t seen a batman statue in that environment. And now all of a sudden here comes xm conveniently picking a graveyard cover among 80 years of bat cover history, coincidence, i think not.

lol i feel like your trolling me by saying i’m trolling.
