Outwit just isn't as integral to how Dick operates as Batman. Think outside your box a little, this is what the character should be when he first put on the cowl after Bruce died.

Now, if they made a JLA-leading Dick, he probably should have outwit, but not top dial, and not for long.

Again, I think you need to think outside your narrow view of what a Batman should be. He's going to be one of my go-to Batmen, for a variety of teams. Unless I'm playing Grant Morrison's JLA, I don't generally rely on my Batman for outwit anyhow. Plenty of other options if you're running detectives, Gotham, Outsiders, or just about any other team where Bats fits.

A Batman character with flight, this really helps the mobility of any Gotham team. I also like the trend of using cover art to base sculpts off of, it really helps with knowing what era the fig is from.

I don't like the Grant Morrison run, but this fig is a great Batman.

He currently, and for the last couple of months, leads the Justice League.

Looks solid to me. Smoke Cloud with extra benefits is always good. Ever since Mysterio came out I've been rediscovering how much I like Smoke Cloud.

Was gonna criticize the sculpt until I also realized that...

Yes. Yes you are.

Yes, but then that begs the question as to whether simply having been a comic book pose makes a sculpt good, which in this case I would have to say it does not.

Dick Grayson Batman!!! Woot! Hes pretty good too and looks fun!

So this Batman (77pts), with the recent Robin (43pts) combined with OOTS Batman (75pts) makes a sweet 195 point team recreating the team-up at the end of the most recent arc.

ok, when i first saw the detective comics cover batman i thought, " ill just buy or trade for him"

then i saw all the lantern characters and thought, " well i dont really know much about the lanterns but they usually have tk and rce, so maybe ill get a few boosters"

now that i see this guy im thinking, " HOLY FREE ACTION SMOKE CLOUD BATMAN, THIS GUY IS GONNA KICK SO MUCH BUT!!! so now im gonna get a brick"

thank you wizkids for making a good batman and heres to hoping the next cyclops is just as good or better than this guy...

Definitly not oots batman, but looks like good fun, and I'd they are going to do cover sculpts... pick better covers.

why does he have to role break away if he get free smoke and move up 2 square. if his based the smoke with move 2 square would move him out of being based. then he can be given an action like charge.

I don't think you'll find another cover that instantly says Dick-Grayson-as-Batman than Batman & Robin #1. That image was everywhere when they were hyping the book.

Sure, there could have been a more dynamic sculpt out there for this figure, but it would have just looked like Batman. This clearly says "Dick Grayson." I'm very glad it's visually distinct from Bruce figures.

Plus... it gives us the hope that they'll do a new Damien in this set or the next based on that same cover, which would absolutely rock.

I honestly was hoping for a duo based on that cover, and I don't even like duos.

Good assessment.

But would a Leap/Climb SP be a better choice? Seeing as most of the Nightwing and Robin (Dick Grayson) pieces have had deep LC use in their dials. Basically, a continuation of his athleticism with an addition to it.

For instance SP: Batman can use Leap/Climb and Flurry
That sort of combo may be over done, but you get the point.

Or how about something crazy like: SP: Batman can use Leap/Climb and Flurry.

He just leaped over and punched you in the face (maybe twice) and brought his sidekick.

Awesome glad to some dial ingenuity in the bat family dials
