I think this Joker Batman looks better than the Batman Who Laughs. Especially cuz of the colors. And the suit and belt look really cool. I'd like to see this body used again for a Batman in traditional colors. Duke does looks like a boss from a Souls game lol
I'm not really interested in anymore Dark Nights Metal characters, much less designs that lasted all of one panel. You can't say they don't look unique but I have no attachment to them. The infected Batman is a pretty good body for just a normal Batman. Not the first figure where a classic version would be great(Looking at you Infected Superman). Duke Thomas is good for bigger characters. On articulation, I just don't know why they've decided not to give us more. It's not like pinless double jointed arms. They just need to shift the peg hold and tweak some other things. Changes they can afford to make as it's a lot of unique molds. I really would like to see them ditch glued down parts and just let them float. Let the capes be easily removable(if not connected in a way for customizers).
I got both of these about a month ago. And you're right... I don't personally get them for articulation. I get them for the artwork and incredible detail that McFarlane puts into them. I actually like when the paint is slightly off because I'm a repainter/mod guy. I redid the paint on Duke and man... I love it. It's probably one of my favorites now. I did his armor to have a metallic sheen to it. But yea. Love em. Good video man 😎👍
Man I'm glad you said that about kiss my buddy brought me an Ace freely and a Gene Simmons psycho circus action figures the other day and the gene did come with a big battle ax but I gave to gorilla grodd
Just had a thought (first one this year 🥸); going to get the Negative 22 Batman and put him with my NECA Jokerized Alien. Like maybe Alien and Batman are under Joker’s control. Either way I think they would go great together
Is there an "infected" Wonder Woman in the Death Metal storyline? I have the Infected Superman, and yes eventhough he's really not "infected", but I'm considering to buy this Infected Batman to pose them as Duo-Infected 😎. Would be great if somehow there's a Wonder Woman version to make it up into the Trinity!
@@BradTheDCUniverseGeek That will also do! Iirc, there are six of them, right? With Jim Gordon as well. Well, if King Shazam made it, maaaaybe there is a tiny tiny chance we'll get the rest of them? 🤞
I haven't read Death Metal but I think I should get on that for no other reason than all the figures that have come from it are absolutely bonkers cool.
Earth Negative 22 Batman looks way better than Batman who laugh imo, the former looks legitimately intimidating while the other is just Joker cosplaying as Batman if he was into Metallica.
McFarlane sometimes takes liberties with figure designs, yet never takes such liberties in service to better articulation, 'cause he doesn't seem to really like articulation, he just does it 'cause its what will sell at mass retail.
You’re absolutely right about Duke looking like he comes from dark souls! At the same time I cannot believe you just compared him to dark souls😂
I thought the same thing when I first saw the pre-order lol

Disagree
I can’t wait to get these 2. Very interesting. Have not that much connection to them. They just look awesome.
Why didn’t Todd give the infected Batman his gauntlet spikes you see them in the comics but the figure doesn’t have them 🤔
I didn't think I'd like that Duke Thomas as much, but I'm glad it's in a bundle I preordered from the McFarlane website a while back.

Great review and both figures look good and I'll grab them when I see them
Got the Infected, but thanks to you I ordered Duke, too. Siked for the Bane megafig, you too?
As soon as this line was announced I knew I wanted the infected Batman and I got him he’s great I love the face/colors
You should do a review of cw the flash and dc rebirth godspeed dc multiverse
Godspeed for sure. I still have yet to get my mitts on a CW Flash to review.
These are some bad ass looking figures.

Omg they should make a geiger inspired batman lol
Give us a classic Wonder Woman. Please Todd?

Wonder Woman never got infected. Kara did though. It was a pretty interesting story too.

I like that better than the Batman that laughs final suit tbh
One gripe with Duke Thomas fig is it only has one gripping hand.🤨🤨🤨
Yeah, as I was posing for the final pictures that thought crossed my mind. That would have been cool to get a second set of hands.
Love the infected Batman poses at the end. You crack me up. Good reviews not too fond of Duke but I'll be looking for
$¢umbag.
Hey Mr Brad did you see that they're making a movie about Todd McFarland I seen the previews on one of those trailer videos
I didn't actually. Like a biopic?
Yes sir it looked pretty cool
People want full on battle armor and gear but keep articulation like a naked ballerina I just don’t get it
awesome
🔥🔥

And yes it's a McFarland
I think the Duke Thomas dosnt need much articulation because he’s so bulky and big/stocky

I could careless about the back of his belt your never going to see it because of the cape
I want Duke, he is a neat figure, but the ears need straightened...
👍🏻
