Azrael Batman became popular in the Knightfall story line. In the story Bruce Wayne battled the monster Bane and was injured in the spine causing paralysis. With the original Batman out, Jean Paul Valley took on the cowl and became Azrael Batman. At first Bruce Wayne was pleased with Azrael’s performance as the new crime fighter. But as he fought crime he became as violent as the men he fought to the extent of being a killer. In the end Bruce Wayne was forced to his feet and fight Azrael. Bruce Wayne succeeded in reclaiming his cowl and resumed his duty as Batman.
Azrael Batman is part of DC universe classic’s wave 16. He is probably the hardest figure to get in the series. It took me some time to find him but it is worth it because now I’m one step closer to completing the collect and connect Bane. On to the pictures.
Azrael Batman by Mattel.
Good deatil and clean paint job.
The figure has good articulation all in all.
The only hindrance to his movement is his cape or wings.
Close up of his arm.
Nice helmet and clean paint job on his bat symbol.

Too bad he went crazy and had to get his Azz kicked by Bruce Wayne.
