Martial Artist ftw

You're right ... and that was something that occurred to me right after i posted: the Flight ability does not equal .

seems kind of cool, love the attack values. interaction with a robin figure is nifty.

sculpt is dull, especially for a dick grayson fig. i know it's based off of a cover, but i can do without an homage to frank quitely's "art"

flight ability:"a character with this ability can move through squares adjacent to and occupied by opposing characters" doesn't that mean he doesn't need to rool for breakaway?

no he has to already be m;oving.

No - he ignores characters when getting around, but when given an action resulting in movement while adjacent to someone the breakaway rules still apply. He has to "rool" like anyone else. Unless, of course, it's cloobering time.

Yeah, at the very least, you can look at it this way: Robin, wherever he is, moves 0 squares as part of this. That covers "up to 2 squares" clause of Robin.

Cool! This guy, Lamppost Bats, and AzBats! Just under 300.

Seems to be a really good representation of Dick at the time of Batman & Robin #1.

Someone asked why there's no JLofA keyword, even though this is a vet... Based on the sculpt and powers, I'd say this is Dick when he first really became Batman, which was quite a while before joining/leading the JLA. As to why it's a Vet, think of it this way: Robin = rookie, Nightwing = experienced, Batman = veteran. It's a veteran representation of Dick Grayson as a hero/crimefighter, not necessarily as Batman.

It'll be really interesting to see how people play this one vs. Out of the Shadows. Now, do you think we'll be getting a new Robin to go along with this one, or will we be waiting another set?

I say play this Bats, OotS Bats, AA Robin, and BatB Robin all together and laugh as two generations of Batmen and Robins smite your foes!

Hate to be a buzz kill, but it's a Batman without outwit! I know it's Dick Grayson, but he was taught by the best detective around, he should have pick up a thing or two.

The sculpt is mehhh and the "smoke cloud maneuver" as the power just isn't that great. 2 squares even though they are a free 2 squares is just that, "2 squares"... A different take on Batman as Dick Grayson for sure, but for his point cost and without outwit I don't think he is worth grabbing for unless your a fan of Dick Grayson as Batman or want to be thematically accurate.

In this one instance, Munch, I agree with you. The cross-armed pose is appropriate because it's comic accurate and a great homage.

From the "other Batman thread":

Agree 100%.


I'm...honored..?

I think flight is OK for Batman. He still can't carry (no or ) and Batman will usually go over whoever he wants to get to his target when it is important enough. He still has to roll break-away.

I like it. The sculpt, on the other hand, I'm not a big fan of. The pose is OK, but the torso seems short compared to the legs (but that could just be the way it is photographed) and the paint job is poor, especially for a preview. Fortunately for WK I don't buy the game for the sculpt/paint quality.

My only gripe is his veteran status. Should have been a rookie seeing as he only recently took over the Batman mantle. Can't wait to play him with Robin!
