DC Universe Wave 16 Pre-Order and Photos
OH SNAP!!! azrael as the bats, at last!!!! that looks sweet, and the two version of the Robin....hmmmmm I might just get him so I can place him next to the current Robin figure
Deathstroke?!? but he was out in the SOLOMON GRUNDY B.A.F. series (which I am still missing Solomons torso)!!! what gives?!? ahhhhhh MISTAH JAY, I am most definitely getting him!!!!
I was pretty stoked about the (1989-ish) Batman figure. Pic isn't too clear, but it's pretty close to Burton's Batman.
These are very nice figures. I officially went from completely "off the fence" to "on the fence". We'll see....
Azrael Knightfall Batman:
I don't know what the hell that thing is in Wave 16, but Knightfall Batman it is not. It looks closer to the suit from a cover of Agent of the Bat but in Knightfall colors or something:
Could be a new take on the design.

Yeah, Azrael looks kinda funky. It reminds me of those DC figures that Warner Bros. Studio Store used to carry years ago. They'd have all kinds of weird molds and decos for Batman and co. (I think some of them were based on Elseworlds books).
I'm definitely interested in gettting Joker and maybe even Deadp-- er, Deathstroke.
It would have been nice to have the Knightfall Batman as a regular with the Agent of the Bat as a variant.
That AZBAT is the design of his suit that showed up at the end of Knightfall/knightsend arc but in the colors of his first suit...confusing but I agree with Razorlights reasoning
hi guys,
you should re-check the knightfall series. The new wave 16 azbats is actually the correct incarnation. During knightfall DC was making a point out of how its readers had consistently drawn parallels between wolverine and other pseudo batman like antiheroes. As a ploy to deal with this they threw the azbats character into the breach to see how well readers would digest it. What people got was a character that went though gear and suits just like the x-men on steroids.
The first incarnation of azbats is infact just a normal blue and grey batsuit but instead of gloves he used gauntlets.
Then when facing Bane azbats built the suit we know from batman 500.
Post Bane on several occasions azbats comments on how the suit is "Barely enough to prove himself". The next version is the 500 suit but with a helmet over the black cloth mask.
After that suit gets shot to hell, he builds another suit with a flame thrower in the gauntlets along with all sorts of other madness. This one doesn't have the cloth cape.
In his final showdown with Bruce, who heals his back and comes to reclaim the mantle, the flamethrower accidentally sets his own fuel doused suit on fire and the blue metal turns red leaving the red armour.
Speaking of Batman costumes that don't look right, what everyone think of the new Batman costume Bruce Wayne will be wearing in a few months. To me it looks like a lot like the Arkham Asylum video game version but with the yellow oval around the bat logo.

Thanks for dropping all that knowledge there, very good rundown of what was going on with the suit during that series.
question..is that the same joker from wave 10?? is it being re-released???
One more question when is wave # 14 going to start hitting the pegs? The original release date was July and we're at the end of August with nothing out there except a couple of prtotypes listed on Ebay.
i was lucky enough to get all of wave 10 except bats(chose not to)at walmart
