ARKHAM ORIGINS SERIES 1: BATMAN

Billionaire playboy Bruce Wayne is back as the dark knight in another hit video game. Arkham Origins is the third title to be released from the Batman Arkham game series. Once again Batman will be facing some of the most dangerous and notorious villains inhabiting Gotham. From the games trailer Batman will be facing death stroke, killer croc, firefly, anarchy, bane, copper head, joker and a new villain called Black Mask how’s that for a villain line up. I guess that’s why the video game fans are excited about the game. But in my case I’m more of a comic book fan of the caped crusader. That being said I got Arkham origins series one mostly due to the characters new appearance.

On to the figure review then. Scroll down to meet Batman in his Arkham origins costume.

  

Batman out of the box and ready to kick ass.

Base not included in the figure.

 

Arkham Origins Batman figure was sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios. The figure features around 20 points of articulation. As we all know DC Collectible figures are famous for their statue like figures, but this time Batman came with some extra articulation.

 

Check out the facial expression and the bat logo, as always excellent sculpting detail.

 

Batman’s utility belt is simple but it gets the job done.

 

Now the footwear is impressive in my opinion. The joints are well hidden as well.

 

Batman’s cape is made of a soft rubbery material.

 

ARKHAM ORIGINS SERIES 1: BANE

Among Batman’s adversaries Bane is probably the most powerful when it comes to pure physical strength. But physical strength is not the only threat that Bane posse. Among other abilities, Bane has genius level intellect; he is also a trained tactician and a master strategist. Most of all Bane uses a chemical called Venom. Venom enhances his physical strength beyond that of a mere human.

Bane is the biggest figure from Arkham Origins Series 1 by DC Collectibles. He is about 7 inches tall. Note: Gas tank not included.

 

The figure is sculpted by Gentle Giant Studios. Bane was well detailed and has decent paint job. For a figure this big, he has excellent balance and has no problem standing without aid.

More detail can be seen at the back.

 

 

Closer look at his back pack shows a series of tubes with Venom flowing in them.

Venom is the neon green substance that gives Bane super human strength.
