"Criminals are a superstitious cowardly lot. ...to strike terror into their hearts, I must be a creature of the night, black, terrible ... a bat ... I shall become a BAT!" (from Batman’s first appearance written by Bill Finger and artist Bob Kane)
This custom is a fusion of the character from the Dark Knight Returns (by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson) and All-Star Batman and Robin (by Frank Miller and Jim Lee). I combined the body of Mattel Dark Knight Returns with the head, forearms and closed fists of the DC Direct All-Star figure.
It’s a very simple custom that works, because he’s BATMAN!
Great job as usual, my friend. As I commented elsewhere, not sure what happened on the voting. Simple, but flawlessly executed. But, as someone else commented, would also have been nice to see a signature paint job on this...
I thought this was gonna win bro, not sure what happened in the voting with this one! Excellent idea and execution, I may do this to mine, kind of want a meaner face on mine though cause that's just how I roll.
Toycooker, thanks a lot my friend! This Batman of mine and your Black Widow were pretty much even in the votes. I also think your Widow was so good, and deserved a top spot. Yes, go for this meaner face on your Batman, it works well on most base figures.
You hit it right on the money, brother Ric. Great looking version of my favorite non-powered hero. Perfect execution and the pictures are always a visual treat.

Nice parts swap. I do kinda wish you'd repainted--the flat paint detail on these last several DCUC figs leaves something to be desired.
