DC Play Arts Variant Spartan Batman

under DC Toy News

We’ve see the Spartan Batman at a few different events, most recently at Tokyo Game Show 2015. The folks at Square Enix have sent out official photos and update info for the figure. The DC Variant – Batman Timeless Spartan Batman Play Arts Kai figure is scheduled for release in March 2016. The figure will be priced at 14,800 Yen (about $123 USD), so expect it to be about $150 when pre-orders hit North American stores. The Spartan Batman includes a spear, a long sword, four daggers, a shield and a figure stand.

    While most hoplites likely had exposed toes, I agree it doesn't work for Batman even if this is a Spartan version.

    well if were going for historical accuracy and practicality, he also shouldn't have a full face mask, late roman shoulder armor and weapons, and a combo of 13th century European, and fictionalized Japanese styles to his armor. he has a more medieval fantasy look than early Greek. hell, if it weren't for the sandals I'd never guess Spartan, or batman.

    Really, the pointy ears and forearm blades aren't a giveaway I mean c'mon who else would dress so ridiculously

    actually, both of those things(the ears in particular) are a little bit lost within the design. It's lacking that distinct iconic silhouette that we all instantly recognize as batman.
