Yeah but I can headpop this new one and give him the standard dcuc Batman head. That's the Batman I've always wanted but couldn't justify spending a fortune to get the old dcsh figure.
@americanhyena: Yep. I'm not sure how I feel about it–I have a hunch the DCSH8 one will end up being the better-looking of the two, if only because DCSH8 had overall better paint apps and plastic.
But AC Batman will finally replace DCSH8 Batman as my best 6" Batman…
the cape sits strangely on the shoulders though… i'm hoping that that's just a feature of a rushed show sample. otherwise, it's not bad. it's not as game-accurate as the DCD one is, but it's got articulation… oh the woes of toydom.
@Mark: It seems clear the cape portion on the test shot hasn't been properly glued down, and therefore the neck might not be, either. I suspect it'll look fine once it's properly assembled.
@Paul: He definitely seemed slimmed down, which I like. And heck, in terms of beefiness, he's a lot better than the next best modern Batman (imho).
The only thing I didn't like about that game is that Batman looked a little too large, like a body builder. Is it just me or is he slimed down a bit on the figure?

Great figure! The ab joint is awesome!

To be honest, I'm not a fan of the pupils. But I can just white those out.

@Poe:
Speakings of which…the other modern Batman they had on display there. That's just the DCSH Batman with the Sinestro Batman head, yes?

@dayraven: I'm 95% sure that the cape issue there is just a result of the rushed proto.

A little more retooling this could be a Keaton Batman…

Neck seems too long.
