I love having characters like this and CR Robin that alternate between Perplex and Outwit. It's so handy to be one short push away from the power you need.
Having the option to run a 200 point batman doesn't mean I will but I enjoy the ability to run him at that point level is really nice. He offers a nice power variety even mix that with stealth and he is going to be a very nasty piece to go up against.
I don't think there needs to be a 200 point Batman. But if the dial encompasses a lot of what you expect/need from a Batman dial. So if his powers and stats add up to that point value, no skin off my back.
Nonetheless, I think that having those blank defense slots end-dial and only few scattered clicks of Toughness makes this a very fragile piece. A lot of points to invest to in what may be a glass-jaw. Granted, he brings a lot of utility including his mesh of support powers and trait. I just think we've seen these same powers for less. Great sculpt though. My favorite has always been the black and grey.
I've read this dial about 4 times and didn't even notice the implications of a stealthed Justice League until I started reading some comments. Yikes. I like the long dial for batman, I would have liked to see something to show how he's lasting that long out of pure stubborness and dedication, maybe earthbound or something similar to negate the indominable once he gets down to late mid dial then let it come back for his last couple clicks. I've had long arguments over batman being a support piece in heroclix with my go to game buddy, she wants him to be her primary attacker and with this piece I think she'll finally be happy. Woe is me!
One of the most interesting things about this piece is that, excluding the movement power, the starting 100 point click is close in power to the 200 point click. Same movement, same defense and defense power, they both start with perplex. You don't lose much by starting with the 100 point dial. In fact, 2 - 100 point dials might be much more effective. The dial depth is great, too. This dial should make all Batman fans happy.

200 point Batman! That's craziness. I Like his I will not fail gotham power. I feel it is very accurate and will contibute to his worth, allowing him to use perplex elsewhere.
Not sure how I feel about this batman. Well first of all he's obviously meant for higher point games based on his trait but he may actually do pretty well in lower point games. Especially since he can charge at full speed and just be harder for multiple figures to pin down while he's in hindering. Though I have a feeling bricks around his point range will be able to take him down without too much trouble and batman is exactly who the brick is going to be after.
Definitely good for higher-point games, and finally a Batman that seems to take into account that he should be an offensive force as far as attacks succeeding, if not dealing high damage on each attempt. Should have perplex and outwit both rolled into a special power, though.
I like this Batman a lot. At first I was thinking 12 att was a little high for an unaugmented human, but I think this is a good representation of Batman when he know what he is up against. At that point he makes whatever preparations he needs to take his opponent down which would explain a higher att. He is also capable of taking a lot of hits, even going toe to toe with big guys and coming out fighting after a hit which makes the long dial appropriate. As for those who think Batman should be a support piece only, all I can say is although he soes that some, the man is the primary defender of Gotham, so its nice to have a piece that could potentially be a primary attacker if used well.
This Batman won't see much play on Bat Family teams but he is an exciting leader for teams that could use the Stealth boost! He'll see lots of play on my JLI teams.

A heavy hitting Batman is what I've been waiting for. This is as close to a brick Batman that I will have in my collection and know Bob Crane is happy that this has finally come true.
