But with Rebirth Flash being just Flash with some extra lines (only a bottle of alcohol and a q-tip away from classic) and no mention of specific version with John Stewart implying he'll be OG, it's weird that they'd go with Batman Who Laughs. Does anyone (and I mean anyone) like that character? Even with the DC edict that every non-media-tie-in wave needs a Batman, they could have gone in so many other directions. It feels like DC directing that specific versions need to be represented, because even Todd's Rule of Cool can't have pointed them that way after the first wave was so overwhelmingly old school, right? You can't even pretend that monster will fit in with the rest of the line, it's just a bizarre choice.

I really just want two things from this line besides what we've already seen: missing characters (Catwoman, the rest of the Titans, etc.) and media tributes/corrections from the period. Think Shipp Flash, Gough Alfred, movie Zod w/ Ursa & Non, that sort of thing!

I want all the figures that kid me kept looking for but couldn't find. I wanted a Flugelheim Joker! How much more perfect would that have been for Kenner's color-change face gimmick, huh?
Honestly adding a Batman who laughs would be a awful choice, like you said.
I would also love to see the rest of the titans, Catwoman, and maybe a poison ivy.
