DICK GRAYSON BATMAN!? WAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!! I was hoping the third guy was Prometheus though... Oh well.





Edit: Ah, it is Bruce Wayne. Should have known. Oh well. Probably an entire line for me to skip anyways.

Good picture I found online of them. Figures look ok but not for me.

DC Direct figs are approx. 6.75" so DCUC collectors may find them a bit large in scale. They don't have quite the articulation of DCUC, and they don't come with any C&C pieces, but their paint apps are usually great and the stands that they come with typically are superior.

As far as the figs themselves:

• Dickbats seems a bit bulky. Grayson was always a bit slight, and this fig is a muscle man. Also, the belt is awesome but the chest logo is wrong based on the B&R Morrison book. It should be a black bat without the yellow background.
• Damian is supposed to be a 10 year old. He seems a bit too tall. The head torso look right, but his legs are way too long. Also, his cape is supposed to be black on the outside.
• Knight looks to be an awesome fig and I am definitely going to buy this one, though I doubt the eventual Squire figure will meet expectations.
• Man of Bats is an easy pass for me. I am not very committed to the character.

I would love to see the Nightrunner figure in this series. He seems to have a growing following.

That can't be Dick Grayson....that's Bruce's new costume....

Having gone public as Batman's long-time anonymous financier, I didn't think Bruce was donning the suit in the new book, though I admit I haven't read any of them yet.

Since my post I did see that the new suit does match the costume on the Batman, Inc. #1 cover, but Grayson's suit in the ongoing Batman & Robin is different.

Yeah that is definitely Bruce's new costume.

I just picked up Damien Robin and Batman, the others didn't thrill me.

By the way did you guys see this? Attachment 7579

Thanks for dropping the knowledge, gentlemen. I edited the original post above to clarify.

I picked up Robin & Knight from evilbay.

Have to say, Robin is a pretty awesome figure. He isn't as tall as he looks in the pic. I think it is deceptive since his boot tops disappear behind the ID card on the bubble, but out of the package and beside the other 6.75-inch figs he looks just right.

Knight is kinda "meh," but since I don't expect to see any other versions of this fig from other lines in the near future I had to get him.

The Robin is a must have for Me.

whenever figures like these show up at my local comic shop, all i can do is drool cause i cant drop 20 dollars for one figure.
