I like Mezco’s take on the Bat Family.

Red Hood is solid, wish we would’ve gotten a masked sculpt too but it works overall.

Now just need Nightwing to ship and for Tim Drake, Babs and Alfred to get some love.

Mercer is one of my Joes (love seeing him in the current comic run)

I was a little worried about the figure when I saw the renders, but he’s great in hand. The tattoos are a nice touch 🤙

This is also the basis for the musical which debuted when I had just started film school and as a former high school theatre kid, it couldn’t have come at a better time.

The atmosphere this franchise creates is so damn fun. The effects stand the test of time, Bruce’s physicality is so kinetic, the camera is so effective.

Ash is my favorite Halloween icon because I’m a sucker for the hero (even when they double as the fool)

Alt: Ash says “what?” This is a great gif for a “say that again” response. This alt text is brought to you by rewriting a terrible description that was provided
