I wish the first appearance was on this body as well, as you pointed out it would work better for the continuity between the figures- and it’s also more appropriate to have that smaller build for the golden age style
I got this figure because I finally decided to watch brave and the bold. I actually got the entire wave case from entertainment earth so I got all of the platinums, just wish the cape was a bit shorter
I just picked this guy up from 2nd and Charles this morning and I'm glad I did, without a doubt my favorite Batman McFarlane made to date, and he's been cooking lately. My only gripe is the cape being a little long but if it's accurate to Bats in the 50s/60s, I'll take it.
I actually have an "Azrael evolution" display with Mcfarlane figures going from Red Azrael to the Bat Raptor Batman (my pretend AzBats) to Knightfall armored Batman to Blue and Red KnightsEnd Batman. That figure you eluded to creating at 7:33 is a game changer!! 😮
This is easily one of my absolute favorites in my DC collection! Have him next to Silver Age Joker and the first release of Zur En Arh. Now I need Dick Grayson and Penguin.
I’m glad I finally have a Batman for my silver age JL. Now they just need a Superman that will fit in that era. For me I’d have to kit bash something but I’m not sure what. Also I’m glad the Batarang isn’t 3 sized to big like they usually are.
Anyways here's hoping that you've finally gotten the secret empire captain america figure and do a comparison between him and iron man mark 3 soon next?
Hey man, so far I only have 3 or 4 hush-body types of Bats. I'm sure you have more. Can you do headswaps to showcase the best possible combos? Like First app with the Bats-Spawn, etc. Much appreciated.
Two things: This is exactly how Earth-2 Batman was drawn (largely because Batman didn't change much for 25 years), making this a great Justice Society addition. There's enough value in this one for a lot of DC collectors to want to double dip. Second: I was DYING to see if you'd put the Silver Age head on the Knightfall Azrael body. Dammit! Why do you hate nice things? I'm going to have to track my Jean Paul down eventually and try this. Oh! Third thing! I found the Platinum chase Zur-En-Arrh version of this yesterday and, to my surprise, he has a unique head with a different facial expression. Given that there are rumors of something like 4 more Silver Age Batman redecos coming, I'm curious if the facial expressions are going to continue to vary.
While I prefer the Golden and Bronze/Modern age designs (especially the one we see on the black and grey Knightfall figure), this is making me want to customize him into a Brave & the Bold cartoon version since I saw that show as much as I did the 2004 Batman cartoon and reruns of BTAS
As always, great review! Thank you. I noticed you mentioned the blues of the figure were a good match with the Knightfall Two-pack body, but is the grey tone of the body a good match with the gray tone of the body for the Knightfall Black variant version?

Ahh glad too see Batman come in a 2 pack with his second most useful side kick.
His first place side kick obviously being Mr pennyworth
Poor Robin 😭
There's just something about this Batman that's a joy to look at. It's become my favorite Batman to date!

Just got mine yesterday. That cape is so DAMN long!
Love that you used a Darwyn Cooke sketch for Supergirl and Comet. Any chance of a "Darwyn Cooke" Memorial month ?
Excellent job. I still think this is one of the best batmen 🦇🔥
I actually did a Tim Sale Batman custom using a similar Recipe to the Year 2 limbs on Golden Age Batman’s torso. Kinda funny how these things work out

Easily one of my favorite figures Todd’s put in in almost a year.
My new favorite Batman figure
Love this action figure alot of Batman and ace i just got mys today from Amazon I was surprises tho it came so fast

good review, I'm not that faniliar with this version of Batman, only read "Death in the family"
FYI, the old DC Direct Robin First Appearance goes fantastic with this Bats.
The updates on the Knightfall body mold make it better than the original in my opinion.
I’m still waiting for mine to ship to me. I’m getting it more for ace the Batbound then that version of Batman. Lol

According to leaks were supposed to be getting a silver age Superman in the digital line. I'm really hoping it's going to come with Beppo
Anyways here's hoping that you've finally gotten the secret empire captain america figure and do a comparison between him and iron man mark 3 soon next?
no still haven't gotten that one, sorry
I honestly can’t decide if he or the new Platinum Spawn Batman are my favorite stock Batman. But either way, it was a good year for Batman figures.

YAY 5/5 :D
Old chum was an Adam west term… was he silver age ( I know Symantec’s

I'm waiting for Wonder Woman and Jumpa 😂
Now ToddCo needs to get on with giving us a new Silver Age Robin to go with this (and then pair them both Shaggy and Scooby coming from Jada.
9:17 , You forget Streaky, the supercat. And considering it's the smallest of the three, AKA less plastic, probably the one we get.
Isn't Streaky coming with Power Girl?
This is the best silver age Batman that McFarlane made!
Does someone knows if hot water ruins wired capes?
You mention raising Superman’s head with a longer peg. Which figures have a longer peg for such a mod?
I'm convinced that's Randy Orton as batman...
I hate the ryv body. I like the one before it on the retro card
Day 176 of asking for BANE THE MUSICAL!!!
Ooooooh. It is rather pretty
