I am glad they restricted Batman's trait to the 200 point version of this figure, I think that cost will keep it from being abused in lower point games like it could have been if they'd had it on the 100 point dial. I also like that they opened up with flurry instead of a move and attack, it's not a power you see very often on an opening click and it also makes you build a team around his weaknesses rather than just grabbing 1 or 2 figures that can stand alone and that fits my play-style a little better.

Maybe not the most powerful 200 point dial, but definitely justified with the deep dial, perplex, outwit, and improved movement/trait.

Additionally, I think it's very nice we have a relatively common way of merging Superman and Batman into World's Finest without resorting to Kingdom Come Batman or Sinestro Corps Batman.

I'll probably play the 100 point version more for the sake of team efficacy, but the option for a 200 point Batman is always nice.

I love this Batman! As a life-long Batman fan I feel that this Batman fig is the best representation of him over the course of time that heroclix has been out. Batman has always been able to get where he needs to, hence the improved movement. When Batman is around he always makes the rest of his team better, hence his trait Team Leader. Lastly he's always been totally and completely committed to Gotham hence his SP "I will not fail Gotham". I can't wait to own this piece and use him to no end! This Batman fig will rule the map!!!

:cool:

Seems abit much for our beloved "normal" human hero. I do like the traits and special powers, but I think the dial is a bit too deep, and more a result of designers trying to use (abuse) the multiple dial gimmick more than trying to design a good solid Batman piece.
But rest assured I will use this beast to help clean up the streets at my local venue!

I am fine with the raw stats on this Batman- he is a character worthy of a high attack and defense- but his dial is insanely long for a regular human. Given Wizkids' recent trend for shorter dials, I think he should max out somewhere around 7 clicks.

The 200-pt version may seem to have a lot of clicks of life, but HE'S THE FRICKIN' BATMAN fer crissake!! ;)

Actually, I think this is EXACTLY how many clicks of life a dual-starting line figure should have for 200/100 pts; by have 10-clicks at 200-pts, this allows for a respectable 6-clicks at 100-pts.

Not my style of Batman. Fun for large games, I guess, but pretty fanboyish. I prefer more a more economical Bats for team building. I am now hoping to have a 400pt Silver Surfer that reduces damage by 3, can see through stealth, does 6 base damage,can use multi-attack (because he is that fast) and 18 clicks of life.

The alternating perplex/outwit is great to have on a Batman piece. A good 200 representation of the character, but for my points, DKR100 or JL002 are my go-to Batmen.

While this Batman has a good dial and is amazing in that it can give stealth to Justice Leaguers and Outsiders it is strictly high point games only. At 200 points it seems too easy to overrun in smaller point games.

Can't wait to run a World's Finest team! Supes at 150 and this Batman at 200. Now a good support piece for 50 pts...

Like All-Star Superman in the Superman Set, this is the common Batman that is the end all, be all Batman! Amazing Team Leader Trait, long dial, but nothing that screams Superhuman! He has pretty much everything I'd want from a Batman! I can't wait to build teams around him!

I really like this piece. It is all I want from a Batman. That being said, he is expensive. Not overpriced just I don't think I will use him much. I like 300 point games and that would only leave me 100 points to work with.

I cant wait to use this figure. Its an absolute 200 point beast!

The 200pt monster. I think its awesome that Batman got the "I am the tentpole treatment." People will probably complain that he shouldn't be more points than character A or B, but personally I don't care. He looks fun to play.

When I first saw this dial, I thought a 200 point Batman was going too far. But the more I thought of it, he does deserve it in a different way than Superman deserves it.

He routinely fights to the end against impossible odds,and multiple villains (all of whom nowadays are between 60 and 120 points) and comes out on top through his sheer brilliance, amazing fighting ability, and indomitable will. All of those aspects are present here, and his point cost is appropriate as noted, to be able to fight 1 on 3 against his foes and still come out on top.
