DC Direct Reveals Batman Is Waaay Overdressed for The Dark Knight
Posted at 2:57 PM Mar 13, 2008
DC Direct released a number of pics for their Dark Knight movie products, including the accessories-laden 12-inch deluxe figures above, two statues, two mini-busts, and a few replicas. If you want to see that other stuff, go to Toynewsi.com, where I got the pics. Because I want to complain about Batman's outfit.
What the hell? What are all those grooves and crannies and things on him? What possible purpose could they be serving? They're too random and bizarre to be armor, right? What's the benefit of protecting all but three long strips of his thigh? God help me, but this kind of hussying-up makes me wish Batman went the spandex route, a la Spider-man.
Also, I wouldn't have pegged the Joker for wearing such comfortable loafers. Those things look stylish and comfortable.

yeah the toy looks a bit busy but all the pictures i've seen from the film, and the trailer make the new suit look pretty awesome. and knowing nolan, there will probably be an explanation for every nook and cranny on that thing.
