Is there any significance to the Underworld symbol shown on the dial pre-green line? The only set that I remember that from is Secret Invasion with the Skrull, but maybe they have done that with other sets since then and I haven't noticed.
I believe that mark is supposed to be the Bat-symbol.
WK/NECA is making so many sets, they have to put set symbols on the dials so the workers know which "023" sculpt gets the dial...
He is pretty nifty for the points. Carry two minions with you. LC into position. Outwit / BFC, and dish off damage with mastermind if your opponent gets past shape change. Late dial regen / "LIVE" clicks to keep you around. A very well constructed dial.
Eh... He's not bad as an outwitter/secondary attacker, but I just feel he's meh. Especially compared to the ridiculously powerful Batman/Bruce Wayne figures in the same set that should see this guy as a semi-equal.
Don't get me wrong, I think he's pretty useful with some neat oddball combinations he has, but I'm just not convinced he's nearly as menacing or tough as he should be. His real saving factors are his two Live clicks and his abundance of Outwit and BCF with Mastermind. He's clearly meant to be a team player, and clearly not meant to be on his top click.
That said, he's a vast improvement over BatB R'as.

This figure is awesome. I love that the first click works essentially in a "Batman-support" role, outwitting and throwing out smoke clouds while he leapclimbs through hindering, with combat reflexes and shapechange to challenge somebody who tries to base him before he can leap away again. And then you can push and embrace the "leader of the league of assassins" role, and go on the offense! AND he has exploit/blades at the end of the dial, AND he has that awesome regen SP. This guy is too cool!
EDIT: Whoa whoa whoa, hold the phone. This guy has indomitable? GOD, how am I the only one who thinks this figure is amazing? He doesn't immediately seem like it, none of the numbers or powers immediately jump out, but there's a combination of accuracy and power synergy here that absolutely put him on the same level as the Batmen in this set.
Some things:
-The "immortal" vibe that they have there isn't really immortality, in a literal sense. It definitely represents his knack for surviving against great odds and returning from the brink of death, as he did at the end of the first act of Batman Begins. He's still perfectly mortal.
-Herald could represent either his place as the right-hand man of "Ra's Al-Ghul" (before, of course, the reveal that he IS Ra's), or his role in ushering in Batman in his current form. Either way, its absolutely fitting.
-The object next to him is the "cauldron of fear toxin", part of the hallucinogenic training/ritual that he puts Bruce through.
That's impossible. Because I'm not trolling. I am posting my honest opinion. Deal with it.
As for the actual piece, I made my opinion known already. It's cracktastically overpowered, just like the two Batmans and Bruce Wayne already revealed.
