DC Multiverse Last Knight on Earth Bane CTB Wave In-Hand Gallery

Batman The Last Knight on Earth was a DC Black Label miniseries from the team of Capullo and Snyder. It’s an altverse tale showing a dark future where Batman has been MIA for a bit and the world has collapsed. Bands of heroes and villains are still around but in much different forms from what a recently awakened Bruce Wayne remembers. It runs through the story in 3 contained issues, following Batman along with The Joker’s head in a glass bowl poking at him non stop as he tried to figure out what happens, and how to fix it.

McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse is tackling the key players in one short wave – Batman in his Asylum gear along with The Joker head, Scarecrow in his creepy AF rotting form, Wonder Woman in her Mad Max mohawk warrior getup, and Omega, a future tech Batman looking guy – no spoilers in case you guys want to check it out (Amazon / Kindle / Comixology copies here). All of these come packed with pieces for the giant Bane Collect to Build figure. He carried Scarecrow around on his back in the books, because Scarecrow has no lower half to his body. The toys are designed to work like this too, with a peg that connects the two.

Read on for some additional thoughts and over 90 HD shots of the whole wave courtesy of McFarlane Toys.  These are starting to ship now, and should hit full retail in March 2021.

Overall Thoughts:

All in all this wave nails the source material. It’s short and sweet, one wave, and you get most of the key players. There could of course be some more, and some alt versions down the road, but if they stopped here it would be satisfying.  It continues the DC Multiverse trend of Batman, dark themes and Capullo stories being a focus.

The Bane Collect to Build figure is impressive, but has some issues.  Legs did not connect and stay connected straight out of the box.  I needed to warm them up in hot water, then jam them on there, and then cool it quickly.  I repeated this several times and it shrunk the leg ports enough to grip the torso pegs.   It can still disconnect easily, but not immediate like straight out of the box.   The hands also are a tad loose, and fall out with a firm shake.  After it’s all together and you don’t move it too much, it’s a heavy chunk of plastic and impressively sculpted.  Paint is also tops.  So do some collector surgery and get him right, then toss him on the shelf and don’t touch him :).

The Scarecrow connection is epicly done, he has a peg in his exposed innards that flips out and slips into a hole on Bane’s back.  He also comes with a flight stand in case you wanna have him solo.  It’s a very gross design, and it’s captured well here.  McFarlane’s time on The Walking Dead toys seems to have paid off. :).

Wonder Woman is the piece I was looking forward to.  It’s unique and non traditional, but not so far out there.   It’s a great modern take for the character and fits well with other new-and-different-but-still-close figs from the last year.   Sculpt, color, articulation all work.  Only ding is that I prefer the head without the stubble, it’s too dark and pronounced here.  The cleaner shave version in protos was better IMO.

Omega – Great sculpt and good paint, BUT, seems a bit small.  He should be very similar if not a bit bigger than Batman stance wise, but he has a Batman Beyond teenager build here.

All in all, I dig it.  Take a closer look below and pick up your copies at your favorite spots if you do too!
