Exclusive DC Legends Preview: Batman, Founding Member
I meant to write this last week, but have been laid low with a pretty nasty bug, so please forgive me if this isn't nearly as good as my normal card preview.
As you can see, today you get to see Batman, Founding Member. Before I get into the card text and/or stats, lemme make a quick guess. . . there are likely 7 characters with the version "Founding Member" and hopefully there's some plot twist support for card versions in the set. If there are no specific Plot Twists, I'll content myself with Furious Assault and Ravaged! Now, onto the rest of the card...
A 5/5 3-drop is a pretty solid body. The fact that he's concealed means he can stick around and use his ability even after his stats would normally make him a liability. Also, his Range means you can form with him in the back and put someone else who's Concealed in front of him to protect him from whatever hidden hate there might be in DC Legends. Now, onto his effect...
Yeah, I'm gonna Have a Blast with this Batman. Being able to blow up any face-up resource is pretty good. The fact his ability isn't restricted to "non-Team Up" resources is fantastic! You'll need to discard a card for the ability and Activate him, but I predict Batman, Founding Member will be a card that many people hope to see at their Release Celebrations.
Now, it's time for me to take some NyQuil, go to sleep and hopefully wake up in a couple of weeks a) without my splitting headache and b) with some DC Legends cards in my grubby hands!
That guy is really good. The article however, not so much. Prety much just says what the card does, in case you can read the article but couldent read the card? weak.

I'm going to go ahead and say this should be in blue.

If you read JLA any time in the past 10 years, you'll know Batman is all about tearing teams apart, even his own.
Plus, Batman hates the wetlands and oppressive monarchs. That's why he is always trying to destroy Slaughter Swamps and Doomstadts in the comics.
Really.
Trust me, its in there.
Consealed? Check.
Range? Check.
Flight? not so check, but fixed via range.
Respectable stats? Check, certainly for a consealed character
Decent ability? Check.
This is a batman that has all the elements batman needs. A control theme, being consealed, respectable stats, and an ability that has some use. Is he a money rare? I don't think so. But is he a card you open only to be used to see how far it can be flicked across the room? Certainly not.
The card is fine, nothing to start falling yourself over, but if most rares were like this one, I wouldn't be too disappointed.
I give this 4 1/2 woots! That is 4 1/2 woots out of 5!
I would give it 5 if he was also optional. I would give him only 4 woots but his flavor text makes up for it. This ability will certainly be incredbily useful!
Hey Dylan don't take Nyquil they are taking many of them off the market because it doen't do anything but make you woobly. You are just as better off to drink Jack Daniels!
