Frank Miller's quirky, loose artistic style struck me as strategically and charmingly ambiguous on the printed page, as it left lots of room for reader interpretation. That's one reason why DKR was such a success, IMO. I never expected movie director Zack Snyder to take Miller's sketchy design so strictly and literally. That said, what do you wear for a match with Superman, if not something resembling a red-man or bomb disposal suit? It makes sense.

The dilemma for a toy designer is how to make the sculpt look less bulky, awkward and ugly, and more like a respectable superhero figure. In that respect, I think DC's version is most successful, as it respects normal body proportions best. It's a shame that the cape is so thick, and the scale doesn't match anything else, but if this size is a new standard, I'm with Tony: so be it. I ordered one.

I hope someday for something more like Iron Man armor. How about a nice figure of the new Telltale armor design?

Thanks, Tony, for the great shots.
