Dude, everything can’t be Marvel style ultra unrealism. I love the Riddler design. Nobody is scared of a pretty boy in spandex. A dude that looks like a Unabomber style madman is a genuine threat. The fact that he doesn’t care for shiny presentation is a definite nod toward realism.

I'm one of those guys who never cared for Riddler's comic designs; always felt kind of wacky in the modern age imo. But this new look has really been growing on me.

Being that The Riddler has always been my favorite member of The Rouges Gallery I’m extremely excited for this film....but his design is odd as a fan of the classic iterations of the character. Having said that I’m sure this look will fit perfectly with the depiction Matt Reeves is going for...and Paul Dano is such a fantastic actor! As far as the figures go...Catwoman is probably my favorite, even though the face could be much better. Really excited for the Hot Toys but overall I like what Mcfarlane did here. Thank you for the great review!

I agree with you, Chuck The Mystery. I saw the “The Batman” movie Riddler at Walmart, but I passed on it. This look for the Riddler just doesn’t work for me.

That’s the point Riddler isn’t meant to look like the majority of his other interpretations, I get that people are attached to the previous versions but it is called reinterpretation for a reason, instead of the flashy trickster and comedic relief we’ve seen in other versions (especially from Frank Gorshin from the 1960s movie and tv show and Jim Carrey’s version from Batman Forever) but this one is instead taking direct inspiration from the infamous Zodiac Killer and honestly it’s an absolutely perfect reimagining of the character to me, Paul’s performance (from what we’ve seen so far) is so unnerving and uncomfortable that he’s done his job perfectly by making Edward truly terrifying as opposed to funny or comically maniacal

Riddler movie costume crusader is a weird mantle to take on but ok.

The look of the Riddler was inspired by the Zodiac Killer

This Bat suit is reminding me a lot of the Arkham Origins video game suit.

Brad that blue backdrop just looks superb with these figures man! Really sets them off! Was so awesome to watch this video and hear your thoughts. Your videos always bring a lot of light, happiness and excitement my friend. Really grateful for all your work and style. Was extra cool to see all these new figures together in the same video as it's getting more and more exciting everyday waiting for the new movie!

I love these figures. I think they’re really good representations of the characters and at the $20 price point you can’t ask for much more. I suppose if you’re someone who is looking to put them in really dynamic poses they might not be for you, but that isn’t me. I’m so excited for this movie and am just happy we have them in figure form!

Brad, the Riddler is growing on me hopefully the actor delivers and I fully embrace this version. The others all look good. The Batman and Batcycle (you have yet to get and review) work together well. Ignore the hand paint apps difference. I am waiting to see this movie now that it seems the release is in sight🙂. 👍 And take care.

Great video, good points & beautiful photography as per usual.

I dig them all aside from the side eye thing on certain ones. That Greg Capullo Catwoman is still my all-time favorite though. Got my preorder for Battinson in already. Definitely looking to grab the other ones too but debating on if I want the masked or unmasked Catwoman cause i'm not getting both (I wish McFarlane would just include extra heads to swap instead of rereleasing the same figure with a different head).

Riddler has an ice scraper

This version of Batman remains me of the Costume that the earth one comic version was wearing

Wow, you predicted the grapple perfectly lol

Spoilers if you didn’t watch the movie If they give us another wave of the Batman figures they should give us a Bruce Wayne in his coat or suit from the funeral scene and penguin in his purple suit from the bring into the light scene . And maybe like a falcone and a riddler in his orange jump suit and maybe and Alfred cause that would be sick

That bubbles impression was spot on omg hahaha

Canadians, I'd recommend looking for these at *Wal-mart* . They'll be the cheapest there, probably 24.99 CAD. Gamestop is ripping people off, selling these for 34.99 😬

Great review! I've only seen the Riddler and Catwoman so far, I got Riddler and I may get Batman if I see it, the rest I might wait until after I've seen the film. I find with these figures that as long as they look good I don't mind them not posing too well in certain instances, like the Penguin and the Riddler I don't expect to do much in the way of physicality, so if they look good just standing on the shelf I'm happy. I got Riddler since he's what I'm most excited about in the film, and I really love his redesign. I like comic Riddler as a character, but the skintight suit with question marks never did anything for me, the hat and green suit look I like a lot, but to me it's easy to come off as too goofy in certain instances especially live action, and I think for this film it would've never worked. I get it's not for everyone, but going for a Zodiac inspired design completely works for me, plus unlike a lot of other Batman villains Riddler's design I wouldn't say is as important to his core character as say the Joker or Two-Face. To me based on the trailers the essence of the character is there, he's making a game out of people's lives just to prove how smart he is, sure there's the addition of a supposedly 'righteous cause' element, but he's still making a game out of it.

I believe that the things on the gauntlets are the darts that he uses for his grapnel gun. It looks like the grapnel gun is attached to his forearm and slides forward when he uses it. So, it could be that it automatically loads into it as it slides forward. It's my theory anyway ... Can't wait to watch the movie :).

I've looked at every single image I could find & it seems a pretty sure bet they're the darts for his grapnel gun. Not sure how they arrive in place, if its automatic or if he's gotta slide each new one out by hand, but they're clearly the same color & shape, just with flowering spike tips once inserted into the gun.

The things on his gauntlets are grappling hooks that are collapsed, you are correct Brad, at least I think so

Great review 👍

I love the idea of the spikes on the glove great idea

8:17 they're called spats, Brad, cheers

Damn the side eye

The funny thing that he does do a lot of side eye in the movie

Fun Fact: The Blades On Batman’s Gontlate’s Are Little Knife’s

great review, I'm hoping to get these figures too. as far as I can tell for batman the grapple is connected to the gauntlets (at least that's how the 11" spinmasters figure has it ) so I would guess those bolts or arrows may be the grapple hooks in condensed mode . yeah the Riddle looks super odd. it is a shame there wasn't a small roll of tape for the accessory over the ice scraper/chisel , Penguin looks cool but that goofy pew pew hand .. why did they restrict Todd like that , seems so nonsensical , I did Cat womans look. best guess its some sorta electro-whip and that thing on the end is like the prongs on a taser .

Hyped for the film, the trailer surprised me and I'm digging the look of the Riddler.

I think the Robert Pattinson/ Batman action figure is the best part of this movie line. I bought one of that figure.

11:13!! OMG, hahahaha!!

I really digging the new look for these characters in the upcoming batman film, it's a mixture of realism but also has that comic book flavour to it!

The side eyes on the entire wave bugged the crap out of me so much. I hope Todd’s DC Multiverse team does break this habit.

My understanding is that this Riddler is supposed to be like the Zodiac killer and that's why he looks like this

Good call.

The things on his arm I believe to be Stingers like Nat has In marvel.

Very cool man

1:57 those are arm blades, in the dark knight he uses them went he fights joker, they're mostly for blocking swords or maybe climbing, in the dark knight he had a button that thrown them off like mini batarangs.

Amazing

Lol the bubble riddler had me rolling😂 not far fetch though.

Those things on Batman’s gauntlets are darts for his grapnel gun, the Riddlers mask is a us army cold weather mask and the chisel he has is actually a ice cream scraper, and the Saran Wrap around his head is probably to not get any dna at a crime scene

Just gonna leave this here 'cause I otherwise forgot: I took a batarang (blue ice-tech version) from a 4" Spin master figure and gave it to White Knight Batman (the purple variant) and it looks really cool. It's *still* overblown and preposterous even with that scale, but it really works and is not bad. Cheers!

I’m order to ride his bat cycle lol for the open hand

Those are metal protective bars on the the gauntlet, protection from attacks with pipes, bats,swords and other hand held melee weapons.

Having seen the movie I really love the Riddler design even more. It is meant to be something that anyone could put together with a little time and a few bucks but still look scary. Its a distinct look, yet its also something that you can probably get at your local army surplus. Which is actually a plot point lol

Want that Riddler

Bubbles riddler!!! 😆

Now Custom Cape!🔥🙌🏼

That penguin is so lazy! Just mailing it in lmao

Symbol on his chest is made from the gun that was used to kill his parents

Hahaha thats a pretty good bubbles impression, fuckin Lahey.

Like catwoman she looks good

How did you get penguin so early? Doesn’t he come out all the way in March?

The grapple sticks into his hand because it ejects from his arm gauntlet

batman's built-in grapple gun hand is so weird. it hinders posing like an action feature, but without the action feature.

I watched the movie in theaters and it wasn't like any other Batman movie i really like Batman's suit in this movie and Especially the riddler and also fun fact the riddler in this movie was based on a real killer named zodiac killer and if you look him up on Google you'll see why

Ive herd the arm things they are something to do with the grapple gun but who knows

Were you given these figures to review or did you buy them?

I’ll wait and get those figures after I seen the movie 🍿 first because if the movie is terrible I won’t get them but if not and the movie turns out to be good 😌 I’ll get them I just have to wait and see for myself.!

Are you going to pick up the brand new gold label Catwoman with the accurate head sculpt?

What if the things on batman's arms are like tasers.

apparently you were one of the lucky ones to get the correct cape. i was not so lucky.

Pretty sure the riddler is inspired from the zodiac killer

I wish I wouldn't have even bought it. I got one of the messed up ones with the upside down torso and cowl on the back of the cape that's supposed to be for the unmasked one. Todd has been wasting my money lately between that and the year two with the sloppy bat symbol, glue on the fabric cape and right arm issue.

spats go over the shoes.

Not picking up the this line. Pretty annoyed with those side eyes. TBH this will be soon going to be peg warmers and it will be on clearance depending on the movies success.

In my opinion, the wave of Batman figures the three jokers was the best of all so far, this wave of batman the movie is the worst of all, my God in heaven, it's just an ugly figure compared to the classic look of the characters, I agree with you Todd did his best recreating the figures as in the movie.

I only decided to pick up Batman. The others are ok, but I'd rather see the movie first before deciding to get the other figures.

Maybe he landed the license to make all side eye figures 💁‍♂️

Will you be getting the Catwoman unmasked version? The pics of her Face does not look good what is your opinion ?

I think the thing on his gauntlets are to electrocute people

The Batcycle from this wave comes with a extra hand for his right so Batman can hold the handle bars on the Batcycle

I hate the cow it's accurate and that Catwoman whip is janky looking

Chuckle toys as spoiler alert!!!!

At the risk of mentioning one more batman figure.... Part of me would lije a deluxe batman with tons of accessories. I know i know NOT ANOTHER BATMAN FIG FOR HIGHER COST.

Thank you, but I will pass on these action figures. I am too much of an action figure / Superhero purist. Besides, we still don’t know how good “The Batman” movie will be.

These all look poorly painted, but could also be early revisions of the figures?

Saw these in Target the other day & passed on all as not a fan of the costume designs which are mostly just dark & drab w/o much that's too interesting or fun otherwise imo. Wow Penguin is an old guy w/a top coat & pretty much nothng else (how exciting for a villain), Wow Catwoman wears a balaclava hiding most of her face & her catsuit is mostly just drab & nothing special otherwise (nothing remotely close to Batman Returns design effort imo) & Wow the Riddler's "anything but fun" like design is just mostly blah & cringe-like imo. Saw the batcycle too which looks mostly just like a motorcycle & nothing really interesting otherwise in terms of design imo (I'll stick with the Batpod from TDK trilogy).

Catwoman is severely underwhelming. i can't even begin to understand the obsession with trying to make everything look "realistic" in a fantasy world. There is no color, no imagination and NO charm here. It looks like it's just going to be another gritty, dimly-lit, CGI-plagued Hollywood action farce for this dismal generation.
