DC MULTIVERSE:
THREE JOKERS BATMAN
Today we will be taking a look at the New DC Comics Multiverse Three Jokers Batman, This is how Batman looked in the DC Comics Dark Lable Storyline.
Thirty years after Batman: The Killing Joke changed comics forever, Batman: Three Jokers reexamines the myth of who, or what is the Joker and what is at the heart of his ongoing battle with Batman? New York Times bestselling writer Geoff Johns and artist Jason Fabok, the team that waged the “Darkseid War” in the pages of Justice League, reunite to tell the ultimate story of Batman and The Joker! In this highly anticipated epic, learn why there are three Jokers, and what that means for the decades-long battle between the Dark Knight and the Clown Prince of Crime. In this powerful, emotional story, Batman, Batgirl, and Red Hood-all past victims of The Joker-work together to solve a mystery, unlike anything they’ve ever faced before!
McFarlane Toys, a subsidiary of Todd McFarlane Productions, is a company founded by comics creator Todd McFarlane which makes highly detailed model figurines of characters from movies, comics, popular music, video games, and various sporting genres.
PACKAGING:
Before we open this up, let's take a look at the packaging.
On the front of the box, we have a nice big window that lets us see the figure and everything he comes with. The top of the box lets us know that the figure has 22 points of articulation. The bottom of the box has the DC Multiverse logo as well as Batman’s name.
Turning the box to the side we have the name of the figure, and where the inspiration for the figure came from.
The back of the box is a little different than most, we do not get a picture of the figure, but rather the artwork from where the inspiration came from. The same goes for the rest of the figures in the wave, we get the artwork, no figure pictures.
Turning the box around one more time we get a small window that lets us see the figure.
OUTSIDE OF THE BOX:
Let's open the box and take a closer look at the figure.
Taking Batman out of the box we get to see all the details that McFarlane put into this figure. The details on the cowl are really well done and just adds that much more to the figure.
I did have an issue with my Batman figure. His left arm snapped at the bicep swivel. I was able to glue it back on and haven’t had any problems with it, but it does seem like the last few waves of DC Multiverse figures have been having a ton of QC issues.

RATING:
What are Baby Huey's scores for the figure?
PAINT JOB 4.5/5
The figure does have paint in all the right sports, however, right out of the box mine had some QC issues with the paint. It was scrapped off in a few sports and the belt was done a little sloppy.
FIGURE SCULPT 5/5
The sculpt and look of this Batman figure are perfect. As of right now, this is MY Batman for doing any displays.
POSING 5/5
You can get batman in just about any pose or move that you would want to get him into.
ACCESSORIES: 3/5
All he comes with is the grapple, They cold throw a few other things into the box since he isn’t a part of a collect-to-build wave.
DURABILITY 3/5
While the plastic for the body is sound, it’s the joints that are the issue. The arms are breaking with this batman and the Year two Batman (they use the same mold) all over the place.
OVERALL SCORE 4.1/5
Man if the figure didn’t break at the arm he’d be perfect.
RETAIL COST: $19.99
I picked mine up at TARGET.
TIME FOR SOME TOYING AROUND!!
So another year has come and gone, this year like the year before wasn’t the greatest but at least we did get some really cool toys and action figures. I just want to thank you all for all the love and support you all give me, this would not be possible if not for all of you so thank you!
