Oh the tingles. This might be my favorite design by Mezco, and dare I say one of my favorite unique designs for Batman intended to convey an actual person in the suit. Has just the right amount of "He's crazy, and crazy dangerous" in there to make it work. And the accessories are very nice to boot.

They should have probably released this "sneak peak" before showing the figure and then showed the figure, its not that exciting now that I've already seen the figure multiple times, the accessories might be new but thats it

Looks great even glad to see it in better light saw it posted on Fb first and really love Mezco doing behind the scenes with their figures wish they would do that with all their figures.

This figure pulls me in more and more each time I see it. I really like the crossbow too, not something you see Batman with often. Still not sure what that giant folding bad is supposed to be though.

I'm guessing that's the "Bat Brick". But I don't know what a Bat Brick is used for.

Yeah, what is up with the "bat brick"? Is that based on something from the comics?

Maybe he uses it to smash through the glass before he drops in?
When will these be available, and will they be as hard to get as Classic Punisher?

It seems to be going up for pre-order August 9, and considering it's supposed to be a normal release instead of a limited exclusive, it will probably be nowhere as stupidly hard to get as Classic Punisher.

Looks cool. Reminds me a little of the Season 1 Batsuit in the Telltale game.

I've always loved Batman's First Appearance design. (purple gloves and all) It made him look more like a creature of the night. Awesome to see a reimagining of it. Mezco stuff is a bit out of my price range but this is shaping up to be an amazing figure!

I've got a few of the Dark Knight Mezco One:12's and love them, wasn't initially sold on this figure but after seeing new pics, I just pre-ordered off of BBTS, cannot wait for this now.

It's like a blend of Keaton and Conroy/Batman TAS, and that's just perfect.

My understanding was that the three figures would represent Batman's career from beginning, middle, and end. The Ascending Knight is the beginning since it represents the Golden Age/First Appearance of Batman. I've not heard anything about the middle figure. It could be based on Batman's design from Rebirth, New 52, pre-New 52 (early 2000s), or even the blue and gray suit with the yellow oval. Basically, any version of Bruce that would have been old enough to have a Robin could be considered for this spot. I've heard that the end version is supposed to be based on the Dark Knight Returns which seems a little odd given that they have made several versions based on the comic and Batfleck.

Also, they did do a DKR Batman (and color variants), and a BvS Batman, but this will be their take on the concept of Batman in his 40s or 50s, rather than a direct adaptation of a specific appearance on the page/screen. |

I think if they wanted to do variants for "Batman Prime", then the pre-New52/2000s suit would be the most likely candidate since they could reuse most of the parts and costume patterns to do a bronze age Batman.
And I own two versions of the DKR Batman and the standard BvS version so I'm well aware that they've already done that concept. It was just a rumor that I'd heard and passed along. One thing to consider though is that the Batman Beyond figure could be the end version or Future Knight. Bruce did wear the suit before giving it to Terry. |

Batman doesn't wear laced boots. I hate mezco's boots, i know it's a stylised take on popular characters but i think it's an excuse sometimes the boots make all the difference.

The bat brick is apparently just a big ass batarang for clobbering fools. Seems like it would give pretty good ouchies if not partial decapitation.
I didn't really notice them before, now I kinda hate them |

Eh, I think it kinda works for such an "early in his career" Batman. I imagine the "Batman Prime" won't have laced boots.
