The ages of those of us in this forum and our preference for Arkham style figures would shed some light on the subject. I am 36, and I like the Arkham Batman figures.

I'm 44 and have played the Arkham games. Hoping Knight comes out before I hit 45 and have to quit. I do think that the 60% percent estimate is way too high. 2.5 million people played Arkham Assylum. 25 million bought Dark Knight on disc and that audience skewed slightly older.
I also disagree that an entire generation Ddefines Batman from the games. That means as kids they missed Justice Leauge, The animated series, The brave and the bold, the Nolan trilogy, etc. If the games were the Reason Batman was so popular then Call of Duty would be a more well know property at this point.
And don't get me wrong, I love the fact they're doing Arkham figures but after four out of five waves call it Arkhamverse and drop the charade.
The theory is that the entire DC universe is open right? So why then do they have to do Batman Beyond and Batman 66 as alternate Arkham costumes? Why aren't we getting a 66 or BB wave?
4.8 million people watched the debut of the flash? I get the theory that they want to promote the game. Why? Why promote the games produced and sold by someone else when you could promote the tv shows produced and aired by your parent company?
