Dont melt/eat/chew the limbs off/shoot/car-crash/fire-cracker or otherwise destroy your precious childhood companions - it will really piss you off in later life kids. Sigh.

Though Kenner did put out Two Jokers, a Penguin, Catwoman and Penguin drones in the Batman line. I had a nice little Batman rogues gallery between that, Super Powers and Toy Biz's DC Superheroes.

I eventually got Joker and Penguin but it took a while to find them. Yeah I had a small army of Batman figures too, and remember being a little frustrated in my lack of villains.

I have so many of these (and TAS) figures down in the basement that it's not even funny -- on top of the ones I already had as a kid, for some reason I bought an eBay lot a few years back with a bunch of loose ones. (I think I wanted something else in the lot, but I now have no earthly idea what that was.) That Bruce Wayne figure was pretty cool, too, but I agree that he didn't look so hot in the Batman gear. Rather than putting the gear on him when he sprang into action, I'd just swap him out for one of my actual Batman figures. :) <i>Can you imagine a vehicle of this size and one that’s this cool being put on clearance down to the cost of a single six inch figure today?</i> The 3.75" Terminator vehicles are a decent size, aren't they? TRU.com had those a month or so ago for 2/$10, albeit mistakenly... ;) BATMAAAAAAAAAAN!

Funny you say that, Philip, as my daughter and I just this morning watched the Owl Man episodes of Brave and the Bold. What a hoot. Joker had me laughing aloud several times. Great post, Paul. I remember this series well, though I can't believe how little they look now. I also had a bunch of the various Legends of the Dark Knight figures: the medieval Batman with chrome plating, a strange but cool jetpack version whose suit was dark green... the articulation was crap, but those sculpts were the pinnacle up to that point. Also, respect your history, boy: Super Powers Batman kicks more than the daily requirement of ass. "I want to see a B&B episode with an army of Batmen inspired by all of the toys over the years."

He quickly replaced my Super Powers Batman and was riding around in the SP Batmobile. I liked the Batman from the movie with the belt grappling hook thingie that actually worked.
