First and foremost, the figure does not use the articulated chest or fabric cape that was used on the Batcycle Batman figure and was shown in some of the solicitation pictures. However, the figure does use the new articulated legs from the Batcycle Batman which includes ball jointed hips, double jointed knees, and boot swivels. The new hips in particular allow the figure to kick it's leg up higher than the original.









Aside from the new cel shading on the suit, the biggest paint changes are on the face. The eyes are fully painted this time, making them look larger. The skin is also painted and there is a thin, black line to keep the mouth visible. The grey suit and the yellow used for the belt and bat symbol are also darker on this new release.





Overall, the new figure is an improvement over the original but not leaps and bounds better. The cel shading is cool but the real reason to pick this figure up, in my opinion at least, is for the improved leg articulation and paint work on the face. Everything else about the figure is the same. As of right now, the only re-releases I'm planning on getting are the Joker (for the new head), Catwoman (for the unmasked head), and The New Batman Adventures Batman (my original release broke at the ankle).

Nice! I have Harley on the way since I missed the original release. I was going to skip Bats, but looking at your pics, the head is definitely better than the original. I'm just not big on the cell shading. Any idea how easy it would be to swap heads?
