In case you haven't heard of this figure, It's a gold ringed Batman with mostly Close combat abilities offered in Inquest magazine. I know he's not very good compared to other Batmen *Coughlegacycough*, I think with the right allies, he may be worth something. So, any thoughts? Keep point totals around 300 if you decide to post. Thanks in advance.

for 5 points more you get the justice league common that everybody is raving about. just had to mention it as an option. anyways, I've used the detective and he can be quite effective. the hardest part in using him is to realize he's not the stealthed outwitter the batmen are. this one is meant to get his hands dirty. feat wise other than the obvious icwo, he needs a swingline so he can charge out of hindering terrain. since charge doesn't work with cce, a tker would be nice too.

I tend to use DKD as Batgirl (Cassie) on my Batman team or Birds of Prey teams. The figure works well in close combat, and usually takes down more points than it cost.

swingline can always help with movement, armor piercing can help you when charging with that 2 damage.

i played a team a while ago

DKD batman 70
+Protected - 8
+Lucky Break - 5
Exp FF Ghost Rider - 85
+double time - 5
+shellhead - 10
LE Clint Barton - 75
+Armor piercing - 10
Rookie Destiny - 20
Vet Paramedic - 12

it was a fun and random team i threw together, used it in a battle royale and it took down 2 teams one fielding parralax and the other had vet icons supes.

I like DKD because he has some real damage potential. I've played him with nothing but protected. His second click matches his first click with the addition of Super Senses, so he is very push friendly. I wouldn't put a lot of feats on him, though. While all the mentioned feats would be good on him, too many will simply bloat his cost. He is a much better secondary attacker than a primary attacker, so added feats seem to be better used on other figures.

I thought about giving him armor piercing but I don't like pilling on feats on one guy and ended up putting it on my range attacker (green arrow cj)

Once had my rookie Icons supe beat right down by the Dark Knight Detective

Thanks for your replies everyone! Now what if I want to use him on an all batman ally 300 point team with no feats?

I would recommend you pair him with ngn superman in that case.

Super Close-Combat Batman Action!

Dark Knight Detective 70
U Catwoman 85
V Katana 48
R Ragman 25
V Azrael 65
POG Alfred 6

Very little in the ways of ranged combat, but you'll surely find some melee power here. Great fun!

You guys rock. Thanks soo much.:knockedou

the dark knight is by far the best sculpt of any batman! for me that's hands down enough reason to use'em....
