Hey, I have been lurking here for a while and thanks to toyark I have gained so much useful information and insight about current and upcoming action figures. Well, I love everything about this site. Photo shoot section alone is priceless!
Anyway I need a little bit help from fellow collectors.
I want to buy an Arkham whatever Batman that will go right in scale with Arkham Asylum Harley Quinn. I don't like the looks of Arkham Asylum Batman, so I'd rather get something else. My personal favorites are Arkham Knight and Dark Knight Returns variants by PAK but I am afraid they might be too big and make my Harley look like a midget. I'd like to hear some opinions from experts.

I only have the Arkham Knight Batman and the Arkham City 70s skin Batman and I'm pretty happy with both. As for the height, AK Batman is about 10" to the top of his head while the 70s Batman is 9" to the top of his head.

IMO, The DKR Batman would probably be about the same height as the 70s skin figure since they are both from the Arkham City line. I think they were both around $50-60 on Amazon a few months ago.

I have considered the DKR figure but there are things i don't appreciate about it.
1 black paint of ball joints on his elbows and 2 it's too bulky, altough i know it should be considering the source material.
As for 70s Bats I'm not fond of it. I don't know, too much blue on it.
According to information from online stores Arkham Knight Batman stands at 11", could you confirm that it is 10"?

It's about 10 1/2" to the top of the ears and maybe 9 7/8" to the top of the head. His knees need to be bent one or two clicks for him to stay balanced though. It's not enough to take away 1/2" but I'm sure he's slightly shorter that way. I saw on Amazon that the AA Harley was about 9 1/2" - 10" tall. If that's true then they should scale together fairly well. I'm really happy with my AK Batman so he definitley gets my recommendation.
