A nice, steady attack value makes him one of the few in the set that has a reasonable chance of hitting all the high defenses. His trait sharing the Batman TA is nice in high point games, but at lower point values it might be hard to include enough other pieces to get the full benefits.

The best thing about this Batman is the flexibility to use him with all his different teams. Everyone on a named theme team can get stealth, which is awesome for figs like superman and Diana. Note only the 200 pt version does this.
Batman here is a force to be reckoned with, for sure. I absolutely love the deep dial he has. I'll be interested to see how he plays in the era of vehicles with 11+ clicks of life. Mega damage dealing will be king, I think. Batman truly shines on his flurry clicks. Look for him to be a game changer in larger point games by giving Batman Ally to all lower friendlies. He'll be a boon to Justice League teams.
10 clix is normally reserved for Gods, not rich guys. But besides that, I like the dial for the points. I have a thing for naturally high attack values. That makes it easier to use his support abilities as defense.
I fell In love with this batman the moment I saw it. I keep seeing the arkham video games when I look at this batman. He has a Long Dial and Can dish out some consistent pain. To those nay sayers about that he's too powerful. Realistically they just streamlined the dial process for his utility belt. Giving him overall better stats instead of bogging down his dial with pointless powers.
If not for the attack power, I would honestly be quite happy with this Batman. Actually, I still am. I just deep down cringe at pieces like Superman and Wonder Woman and other Justice League folk getting full-dial Stealth.

I'm not the biggest fan of this dial, it feels that too many of the points were sunk into that trait, while the dial itself is underwhelming for 200 points. The trait requires that you build around it and can be easily countered, the numbers on the dial don't really inspire either.
Suddenly I have visions of teaming this guy with John Blake... Now everyone on your team has stealth, and any pesky Superman allies or Ultimates get their TAs outwitted! :cool:
While I never envisioned a Batman topping 120 points in this game, this version is definitively replacing JL OoTS Batman for my collection.
From the improved movement to the indomitability, the alternating powers, special power working with his indomitability (much like HoT Hogun), this Batman's just too solid for JLI builds.
Outside of Justice League International, I don't plan on fielding this figure over cheaper versions of the Bat, but this version does live up to status he had during the Giffen/DeMatteis JLI era, where he was actually more effective than half the team combined.

I like this figure but for 200 points I would have liked to see another lightning bolt. All those fancy toys he has on the utility belt should mean he can target 2 characters at once.
Batman is great, he is finally made right and this is a definitive version, the only ability that is really missing is Super Senses, could use Incap., but not that necessary. The special attack ability is really useful as well as his Trait, and I love his improved movement abilties! He is one of the top figures in the set!
