Is this an SDCC exclusive or retail preview? The full size batman vs superman car would be great as a model. Is the batman car from HW 1:43 scale or 1:64? Where can you buy this?

The car is cool.
I would guess that the stuff is merely being announced at SDCC. Those figures will warm pegs across the entire western world in months to come. Thinking more about Batman's armor, it clearly is NOT aerodynamic, meaning Batman has no intention of battling for air superiority. Furthermore, it's very bulky, hardly suitable for fast movement, and there's some kind of mesh and harness attached to his shoulders. Thinking of the strange dialogue, "Do you bleed - you will," I wonder if the purpose is to look menacing and taunt Superman so he comes into range for some sort of capture. In that case, this movie might be more than just a caped smash-up derby. Furthermore, we got a bellyful of toppling skyscrapers in the last Superman movie, another reason to think that this might be something different. Regards |

I imagine Batman will want to keep the fight contained at ground level so he can do the most damage. Again I'm only going by the DKR movie. It was an awesome fight.

That Superman looks like Agent Ward from AoS.

Say what you want about Man of Steel, but at least it FELT like a comic book movie, and Batman V Superman seems to be following that trend.
I'm excited about BVS, and Batman's Dark Knight Returns esque armor too. I got more than enough "realism" from those joyless Nolan police crime drama "Batman" films to last me lifetime.... FINALLY getting COMIC Batman in all of his grey-suited glory has me pumped! |

If the cloth capes are just for the con and we get soft plastic capes for the retail, I might buy. Wonder Woman will have to look pretty damn bad to convince me not to buy her though. The Barbie doesn't look bad, to be honest.
And considering that the price on that Batmobile is mostly for the obviously con exclusive packaging rather than the car itself, the car isn't bad! |

Yeah, you're right. The Avengers movies are a success despite many gaps in credibility largely due to good storytelling. Dark Knight Rises fell short in large part because plot went out the window. And like you, I was never crazy about Christian Bale's awkward and overcomplicated bat suits. (That said, the MAFEX figure looks good to me and I'm on the list for it just because there's no question that the Bale/Nolan films were impressive in their way and left a definite mark on the genre.)
Your point is good. These shows are comics brought to life. Details matter less if the overall storytelling is compelling. That said, one still hopes for reasonable attention to detail, as it's the glue that holds a credible story together. Regards |

I liked the Begins suit fine but it would have been the best ever at the time if it had been grey instead of all black. Rises was just a huge disappointment for me. Especially after how much I enjoyed Begins (my favorite of the three) and TDK.
Rises Bane was barely a step up from Bane in Batman & Robin. At least B&R Bane used Venom while Rises Bane was the master tactician and fighter from the comics but they both ended up being nothing more that second-rate henchmen. |

Man of Steel was a little heavy handed with the fighting at the end, but it was probably because Superman Returns and the Chris Reeves movies had so little fighting and action. Brandon Roth didn't even throw a punch in Superman Returns. They were just trying to distance themselves from those old, boring Superman movies and got a little carried away. |

It's accurate and as far as DC movies go that's a pretty big step forward in my book. And while I've only skimmed through the book I watch the 2-part movie and it did have some hidden tricks up those bulky sleeves.
I have. Used to have the MoS Superman until I got the Injustice figure. I've also seen (and own a lot of) the Multiverse figures that have come out since. They're awesome and seem pretty successful. I was hoping they'd make figures from the movie in the same way. Guess it's too much to hope for. there are a couple figures that look decent, but hasbro's marvel figures at the same price point are far superior looking. i mean, would it have been difficult for them to release a couple batmobiles at retail?.. like the keaton batmobile? that would've been awesome. but no, they've decided not to do it. anyways.. these figures look so boring and just flat out cheap. from the molding, to the coloring, labeling this for an "adult collector" is laughable. but then again, it's not like hasbro does much better.. in order for me to own the bad guy from avengers 2, i need to spend $125 on figures from a different line from a different movie. and if i want to own the hulkbuster armor, i have to purchase a bunch of figures that didn't even appear in the movie. so.. if hasbro was producing BvS figures, we'd only get batman, superman, and a bunch of comic characters that have nothing to do with BvS. |

And to get the DKR armour BAF you'd need to buy a second wave of comic Justice League members who weren't in the movie, and D list villains.

As for multiverse figures they are hit or miss, when they miss it can be pretty bad. I hope we get some good 4" figures from this movie. |

Superman looks okay for a pantsless version. As much as the underwear should bug me the absence looks like someone lost a bet. I think another reason these look off is that these might be that weird 5" scale Mattel did the other movie figures in.

Ok seriously, how can DC even license these ... they look like bootleg fake version of the characters.

They look worse than trash that's been stuck at the bottom of a dumpster behind an Indian restaurant for a week!
