If leaks are true, it is based on his “modern comic” design.

I'm not complaining about A Batman and Superman in a wave, I'm complaining about THREE Batmans and THREE Supermans in one wave. That is quite excessive. Every wave should include at least one C or D lister like Question, Jonah Hex, Spectre, Killer Moth, El Papagayo, a member of the Metal Men, etc, a non-Batman villain, and then two A or B listers that are not Batman or Superman.

I still don’t see the issue. It’s the first wave of a new line. They want to get the favorites out, sell through, and get the next orders in. Selling those Batman’s gets you those others... eventually. If we are getting a Batman per wave, then yeah, I see the issue. But this is the first wave. All the next waves are wide open for non-Batman figures. Those figures you mentioned are something you won’t see until we get the “mainstream” characters out of the way... Justice League, Bat Villains, Teen Titans... A big issue is the length of the deal. If DC gave McFarlane a longer deal, maybe we would see those characters.

But, those issues aside, yes, it would be nice to see more variety. I thought DC Classics handled that fairly well. But lack of variation isn’t necessarily a form of incompetence, but a product of the situation, being short deal + DC apparently dictated character choices for wave 1 + first wave.

Some of the wrist and ankle joints look too round and huge as if they're swollen from an injury. Superman only has single jointed elbows, no yellow S on the back of his cape, no flying posed hands, and the way they do the torso rotation looks odd. Also, half of the figures do not even match the artwork card that is shown next to them.

I agree with everything here. They show Superman on that card flying with his “flying hand” pose and don’t even include a set of those... despite giving us a stand to pose him flying too! Really frustrating. Especially when you see WWE Elites and Marvel Legends get multiple sets of hands for $20. And flying hands could easily be reused for many others, so it’s not like it is a unique thing. They would get a ton of value out of it.

I also don’t like the blatantly exposed round joints.

The Animated stuff looks really awkward too.

I don’t understand why they made them considering DCC already did BTAS/JL Animated figures. I feel like those may rot on shelves, although some places have sold out of them oddly enough. Really thought whoever wanted those would have bought them by now.
