As a Lantern fan I hate to admit it, but a New Guardian event would have been great. The power rings would have been perfect perticipation prizes. I just feel like there has been a bit too much Lantern Corps recycling though.

Can't say Batman is much better though.

We already have Shark Repellent at our venue!

While a great concept (I love me some Lanterns), it seems like almost everyone is forgetting that we are getting TWO BATMAN SETS to correspond with the event.

Why in the world would WK even think of running an OP event for TWO BATMAN SETS and not have it be themed around a BATMAN STORYLINE.

Did Batman play a part in the War of Light? No.

So why would they dedicate TWO BATMAN SETS worth of special tournaments to a GL storyline?

Read the Bio.

JLApe is worst case scenario, as in: "Damn! I'm gonna want all of that and it will be difficult to obtain."

Or:

"Damn, that's a stupid story and no one will play in the event: this will ruin HeroClix."

???

Alternatives to No Man's Land:

• Bloodlines: Each week's prize can be a trashy 90's hero who will fade to insignificance a week later.
  
• Millennium Giants: Three colossals as prizes! That will show Marvel!
  
• Final Night: As a special feature, venues have to turn their lights off for games.
  
• Underworld Unleashed: ... No, they'd have to make some villain figures to do that one.

: - )

At the very least I expect a grapple gun to give the wearer leap/climb.

I collected that entire No Man's Land run. It was great stuff. It makes sense for the piles of bat clix coming this fall. I understand how the DC fans might feel shafted though.

To me, Crisis on Infinite Earths makes more sense as an event, or just a whole crisis series of events. But we are getting Batman related sets this fall. So the prize is his utility belt. Ok, kind of cool I guess. It just depends on how they choose to separate the items.

If I had to choose an event though or at least a prize in the event I would pick not just batman's stuff but also a collection of things used in the comics by his enemies. Stuff like this...

Penguins Umbrellas
Riddler's Clues
Two Faces Coins
The Red Hood's Hood
Cat Woman's whip
Deadshot's gauntlets
Scarecrow's Mask

Kind of like Batman is able to take them down and confiscate what truly makes them dangerous, seems more fun then everyone getting Bruce's wonderful toys...

Invasion would have been cool. Different alien generics for the prizes.
Daxamites! Dominators (different than the ones we have)! Durlans! Khunds! (just don't say the last one that loudly!)

Ah, alright. Carry on with the hate.

I don't think that people are forgetting that at all. People are discussing alternative directions that Wizkids could have taken instead of Batman x2 and the Utility Belt.


I'm a big fan of Batman and the Birds of Prey though, so it works well enough for me. I cannot wait for those sets to hit.

The Azrael costume in Arkham is a mix of JPV's and Lane's, so it could have been either one if there wasn't a bio. He actually says he is from the Order of St. Dumas in the game which is the order JPV belonged to while Lane was a part of the Order of Purity. That would have led you to believe it was JPV unless you read the bio. A minor mistake they missed.

Did you throw the remote Batarang at him?

Sure did! Dug that.

Yeah, the reference to Dumas is why I thought it was Jean Paul. Then I read the bio and decided it didn't matter since the character's role in the series (so far) is minor.

And I did throw the Batarang at him. Fun little thing that the designers did there.

I think this would've been an amazing set up. Rep to you good sir!
