Thanks for the heads up on that Talos! If anyone can scan that coupon, please email it to me. Here you go, the new movie also comes with a mini The Batman poster.

love the dedication and updates, we should feel honored to get this info! I wonder if they could make a Bane in his smaller non pumped up version, or a Batman without the mask but in the rest of the suit, like he is in the batcave scenes. Alfted in the Batsuit ...Batgirl/poison ivy 2 pack... Thanks

On the contrary, Matt - no rudeness intended. IG states quite clearly in his post that his department really wanted the figure to happen. I believe him, too. My frustrations are aimed at those parties that killed the concept after giving it (apparently) a tacit approval. IG took the time to PM me to find out more about the sources of our frustration, and I responded at length in a message back. I believe the guy really does care about what the "real" Batman collectors think - otherwise, why even bother with any of this? I just think he has a tough hill to climb. Hopefully he will comment back on my message to him. I will let you all know what he says. Fair enough Wayneson. I want to thank you for that great PM to IG. You've articulated how many of us long-time collectors feel in a mature, respectful and constructive manner. I really appreciate it. Lets be sure that we note who we're frustrated with. I understand now what Wayneson is saying. DC is the one holding this process up. Its not even a Mattel issue. I'm glad that Mattel let us know what they were trying to get done for us. I'm glad they're here on LoG interacting with us and really showing interest. Sure, Mattel had a rough start..and lets face it, Hasbro never really did get it off the ground...but they're trying NOW. And thats what matters to me. Its not too late to correct the past errors. I, for one, commend Mattel for recognizing the adult collectors. but again, great PM Wayneson. Thanks, Matt. I hope my thoughts spoke for many of my fellow friends and Batfans on this forum. I can't TOTALLY absolve Mattel, however; I'm not sure how we can blame DC for case-pack issues, convention "exclusives" decisions, or screwed up distribution deals. However, I would like to follow up on one thing IG said in his post that announced the cancellation of the proposed Joker-in-a-Batsuit: He said "I understand where DC Comics is coming from - they want to preserve the Batman equity. But, we're disappointed."Hmmm...apparently DC had no problem throwing a Batsuit on Alfred E. Newman a few years back, along with a Robin suit (and a Flash suit, a Supes suit, Green Lantern)...I guess they only want to "preserve the Batman equity" when it's not THEIR idea.

Well, if we want that Joker in a batsuit, we need to let DC know. I'm going to make contact with them...but we need to set up something where bat-fans all over can sign a petition of sorts.
Do you guys want him that badly? If so, let me know and we'll move forward with it.

Sure Matt, I'd sign it. Might even start a trend, this whole "getting what you ask for" thing.

I would sign a letter to them to make the Joker in the batsuit, I started making my own..On another post last week I had also indicated a Bane -non venom , a Batman without the mask like in the batcave-easy modification from a bruce to batman figure.. .. I have a few more I have drawn up..

I also think a non-venom Bane would be a GREAT figure to have! I was thinking of another 2up that I've heard Cornboy mention that hasn't been used yet. Mattel had a Bruce in a suit figure that was shown at one of the shows, I believe the last Toyfair. If that could be a possible figure to include, that would be kinda nice, especially since the 2-up is already completed. Though this 6-figure set is "Arkham Asylum", I guess a Bruce figure would not really fit in, LOL.
But nonetheless, let not forget about that figure. Since Selina is hitting comic shops, it would be nice to have that Bruce with her. We can probably customize her a bit with a little skirt to make her dressier too, easy fix! ;D

I'm really disappointed to learn that the Joker we were all asking for can't be made. I appreciate Mattel trying to get it done though. In the interest of the profanity filters here on the forum, that's all I'm going to say.
