McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Dark Knight: Metal figures up for Pre-Order!
At Comi-Con at home last month McFarlane Toys revealed a number of DC Multiverse figures and now the Dark Knight Metal wave is up for pre-order. I was really impressed when I saw the figures, though I am not familiar with the comic book run though I do love the designs of the characters.
I really love the designs of the Infected which has an Evil Dead inspired look to it which is awesome. The Robin of Earth 22 looks fantastic and I would love to find all the variants of him. The Batman Who Laughs with Sky Tyrant Wings looks absolutely amazing and I really love the detail in the wings.
The BAF of The Merciless figure looks incredible and really makes me want to get all the figures in this wave to build him. Hopefully, these figures will pop up on UK e-retailers soon. These figures are scheduled to be released in the fall of this year.
Here’s product descriptions from McFarlane Toys as well as pre-order links too!
Batman (Dark Nights: Metal)
As a child, Bruce Wayne watched as his parents were brutally killed in Gotham City’s Crime Alley.

To become the ultimate vigilante, the Dark Knight disciplined his mind and body to reach the pinnacle of mental and physical superiority. He’s a master detective and an expert martial artist, but his greatest weapon is his mind. Batman has a plan for every occasion, as well as high-tech weapons, gadgets, and vehicles to assist him in his relentless pursuit of justice!

The Man of Steel is virtually invulnerable and has the powers of super-strength, super-speed, and flight. He also has enhanced senses, including heat vision, X-ray vision, super-hearing, and super-breath. In order to infiltrate The Batman Who Laughs’ crew, Superman infects himself with the Super-Villain’s deadly nanotoxin and goes undercover as one of the infected.
