Mezco's approach to Frank Miller's Dark Knight seems more lighthearted and nostalgic than that taken previously by DC Collectibles. The new face sculpt looks more 'cranky' than 'furious.' The old solid-plastic DCC figure suffered from a deformed gimp leg, making the figure nearly impossible to stand, but its gritty facial expression was a ringer for Miller's angriest panel illustration. IMO, the new doll-like construction with better articulation and 'ornery' expression constitutes a superior homage. That said, I lean toward the blue version in the promotional prototype photos, so will wait for its release in order to compare and contrast the final products. Rgds
