In a new DC All Access, DC Entertainment’s Vice President of Creative Services Kevin Kiniry gives fans the first look at some upcoming figures. DC Collectibles will be releasing a series of figures from the Batman/Superman comic book. These are similar to their Greg Capullo Designer Series Figures, but these are designed by Jae Lee. Included are:
- Wonder Woman
- Batman
- Superman
- Catwoman (with interchangeable head)
These figures will be released Summer 2015. Check out the video below.

I'm down with the Catwoman and Wonder Woman, not diggin the Batman and Superman. I know they're Jae Lee style, it's cool on paper, but here they look kinda sickly.
they look terrible. they went overboard with the wrinkle/muscle detail.
Look terrible and have no articulation.
Damn, has the Capullo designer series been such an underselling line that a return to action figure bricks was necessary? I had hoped the Capullo series would pave the way for better articulated figures based on the comics going forward that were not strictly tied to a Batman game or comic. Guess that's not happening anytime soon from DCC
Wasn't the biggest fan of the art while I was reading Batman/Superman, but I think these action figures turned out to look great. Superman is probably the best of the four. I just wish Wonder Woman didn't have to be the Earth 2 design, because that's probably the best head sculpt they've done for Diana since the DC Collectibles re-branding.
These are probably hand-painted prototypes, I assume... so the final product will only look worse. Still, I'm amazed that they got some decent looking action figures out of that art. Figured translating it to a 3D object would be impossible to do.
Decent looking? They have little to no articulation, they look like crap.
I'm not a fan of his art but they don't look bad. Especially Catwoman.
These are likely just the prototypes as the release is still nearly a year off. The articulation hasn't been added in yet.
Easy pass, they shoud've made them like the greg capullo series.
Interesting sculpts. Will wait till we see the final product to judge. These are early enough that they could end-up significantly different. Though I'll likely stick to Greg's versions of Batman and Catwoman.
I really like these figures. *Adds to want list.* The only problem is the waiting game.
Facepalm.
