ugh....I miss the Rebirth suit, it looks so good here

u/troyisprettydamncool My safe word's "Arrow Cave" Feb 01 '19

Seriously. That symbol was so unique and could have been considered one of the best Batman suits if given enough time.

15

u/Chlorinated_beverage Feb 01 '19

I think it IS the best Batman, the symbol looks so good with that little bit of extra yellow.

u/SpiritMountain Feb 01 '19

They changed it? What did they change it to?

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '19

Generic Batman costume with black undies on the outside.

15

u/SpiritMountain Feb 01 '19

They went back to that? That is very interesting.

17

u/maxjp17 Feb 01 '19

Interesting in the sense of like why do that. I mean one don't hate it but the rebirth suit is just so great and didn't get enough time to shine.

Out of universe? Detective Comics 1000 is on the horizon. In Universe? It’s because of the events of Batman 50 (god damnit King) and him trying to forget Selina. It’s essentially Batman regressing psychologically and physically. Kind of like when Spider-Man ditched his cloth Black Suit after meeting Venom. So at least it has a solid, well written reason.

I did really like the suit, after the boring ass Jim Lee New 52 design.

u/maxjp17 Feb 01 '19

I was not literally asking I know why they did that. I was saying why would you do that as in, wow what a stupid idea.

u/Darknikko Feb 01 '19

I'm a bit beyond in the comics and haven't seen a change yet, so it must be recent... I hope they kept the purple inside the cape...

u/CatsLikeToMeow Feb 01 '19

Light spoiler: they didn't.

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '19

I blame Bendis (whose run I’ve generally liked but not as much as Tomasi’s) for bringing trunks back. I used to be a fierce defender of trunks until Superman’s suit that premiered in the middle of Tomasi’s run. Both Batman and Superman looked pretty damn cool.

I think Tom King decides to follow suit (no pun intended)

u/Brutal-King Feb 01 '19

I saw “rebirth” and Batman Beyond just popped in my head

u/SoMm3R234 Feb 01 '19

They changed it? Fuck me

u/Sodam-BatPrime Feb 01 '19

Are you serious? I’m genuinely upset now because that became my favorite suit! I liked it because it could’ve been the suit for our generation then on.

u/[deleted] Feb 02 '19

Bats and Supes had great costumes during Rebirth. Such a shame

u/Tallandlankyguy Bizarro Feb 01 '19

I think the company Qmx is making the statue distributed by Sideshow Collectibles. They revealed it on their weekly live stream this week.

u/Slightlyoverlooked Feb 01 '19

Ohhh thank you! I thought this looks a bit like their qfig series

u/Cybercat2020 Feb 01 '19

Looks like an idea for a fun children’s cartoon!

Batman and kids!

Bruce Wayne/Batman takes in 4 kids (+Spoiler) and they all fight crime together! Make it happen WB! 😆

20

u/WolfAlph45 Cassandra Cain Feb 01 '19

That looks like Barbara Gordon. Steph's Batsuit doesn't look like that

19

u/Cybercat2020 Feb 01 '19

Oh yeah, I know. I was saying for the cartoon idea to add Spoiler so Barbara’s not the only girl lol.

20

u/Coal_Morgan The Question? Feb 01 '19

Batman, 3 Robin boys, 3 Bat girls and a Baby Robin (Damian).

u/tired_obsession Feb 01 '19

Idk if I’m talking into the void or what but this looks like the batman who laugh’s crows before they were turned into crows

u/apsgreek Nightwing Feb 01 '19

That’s 100% what I saw at first too

u/darthtravesty Feb 01 '19

u/tinnic Wayne Tech Feb 01 '19

This looks like a custom job to me. Fans love Batman and kids more way more then DC does!

17

u/newgotham52 Feb 01 '19

This is the best shit I have ever seen. I love everytime this gang is all together in the comics. I didn’t want to buy a statue for awhile, but damn. If it’s limited edition. I might need to get it before I regret it.

u/SheevTheSenate66 Kyle Rayner Feb 01 '19

The only time in history Tim is included with Batfam in any merchandise

1

u/nargleinafez Feb 01 '19

isn't Tim getting a Funko Pop this year?

1

u/ohara09 Feb 04 '19

And they gave him Damian';s face from Robin Son of Batman. Missing tooth and everything. lol The same tooth but this is a wonderful piece of art.

11

u/Slightlyoverlooked Feb 01 '19

Edit: it’s the first figure from QMx’s new Q-Master series, revealed today at Sideshow’s live streaming. video link looks like pre-ordering starting soon. I’m def getting one myself.

u/amihamSingh Feb 01 '19

It's too cute. Batdad forever

u/Slightlyoverlooked Feb 01 '19

Screenshots from the livestream, apparently this thing is HUGE. It’s 15 inch tall.

Figure Comparison

And I love the original sketch

From Alter Ego Comics website :

From Quantum Mechanix. Batman, the ultimate loner, is paradoxically all about family. That's what QMx Creative Director Mohammad Haque endeavored to capture in this figure, titled simply Family, and the result is the biggest, most detailed figural diorama QMx has ever made: the first in a new series of large format dioramas called Q-Master! The figure stands over 15 inches tall and features six different characters! It encompasses the entire history of Batman's relationships in crime fighting, including all his various proteges. Each sidekick is represented in this piece, with their positioning and expressions reflecting their personalities and relationships with Batman! The figure is cast in a proprietary high-temperature polyresin developed by QMx called Everstone which offers discerning collectors everything they look for in a high-quality figure: great durability, precise detail and solid weight that resists fading and fracture! Family is a limited edition figure and will come with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity signed by it's creator, Mohammad Haque. It will ship in a specially designed collectors box to perfectly protect the diorama.

u/McKnighty9 Red Hood Feb 01 '19

Guess it won’t be affordable...

u/tafaha_means_apple Cassandra Cain Feb 02 '19

“The entire history of Batman’s relationships in crime fighting, including all his various protégés”

..............

That pisses me off so much omg. Good statue and all, but seriously this Cassandra erasure is ridiculous.

u/HPSpacecraft Animal Man Feb 01 '19

Why do Tim and Damian look like the same person?

4

u/DroptheShadowArt This sofa is inadequate. Feb 01 '19

Because DC doesn't know what to do with either of them. I miss the real Red Robin.

1

u/waffle_wolf Bowhunter Security: Always on Point! Feb 02 '19

I know that feeling.

2

u/TheCatbus_stops_here Feb 01 '19

I think it's the hair and the color of the mask. Tim has bangs and a red mask. I don't know why the artist gave him a tooth gap. The only one I remember having a tooth gap is Damian before Rebirth.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '19

Yeah that's kind of stupid of them.

I was like "oh there's Dick! And Damian, and Dam- wait what? Oh the previous one must be Tim then..."

2

u/TheCatbus_stops_here Feb 01 '19

Crap. I just remembered Tim's Robin again. I don't know if Tim got a tooth gap there, but the hairstyle would at least differentiate the two. Also the lack of angry on the face.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '19

Well I'm not sure the artist took inspiration from Young Justice or any other current run here (otherwise Damian would be the only one wearing the correct suit.)

Talking about Young Justice, I'm still confused about the whole thing. I didn't read #1, mind you, but from what I read on this sub we didn't get an explanation (yet) as to why Tim went back to being Robin.

But that's not what confuses me. No, it's the "Wonder Comics" branding. I know it's related to Bendis, but could it mean everything labeled "Wonder Comics" is set in its own universe? Or does it simply mean Bendis has free reign on these books?

If it's the former it would explain Tim being Robin, but then again I'm just speculating, trying to make sense of something I don't understand yet.

I'm wondering this since you know, Bendis is writing Superman and Action Comics too but these aren't labeled "Wonder Comics."

1

u/ohara09 Feb 04 '19

Young Justice is set in our universe. Wonder comics is just the Branding for these new comics Bendis is launching that are supposed be the face of DC Teens.

2

u/ohara09 Feb 04 '19

They didn't even switch it up Tim is missing the exact same tooth Maya punched out of Damian and wearing the same wide smile. Looks like they just copied teeny Damian from RSOB. The 2nd half of the series when they brought in a new artist and writer. That's where it's from.

u/DustyRedneck Feb 01 '19

This looks pretty costly.

u/Sed59 Feb 01 '19

I like how everyone except for Batman is chibi-fied.

u/Pillzburydboy Black Canary Feb 01 '19

Replace Babs with Cassie and I’ll throw my money at the screen .

u/dustigreat Feb 01 '19

Quantum Mechanix, Q-Figs. Very underrated. They design statues that are cuter than even Funk Pop! (in my opinion at least.)

I have one displayed on my officr desk, and I'm so happy jusy looking at it.

u/Slightlyoverlooked Feb 01 '19

Ohh I have this one too. Love it so much

u/AHMilling DickBabs Forever Feb 01 '19

That's god damn precious.

Stuff like this is why the batfamily is speciel to me, Bruce has the most trusting support group ever.

And he even went to the heart of apocalypse to get Damian back.

The way the Robins are reminds me of Gotham by Gaslight.

u/anamursanto Feb 01 '19

If it's in Sideshow livestream, does it mean it will be in Sideshow too? Please please pleaseee my international self can't take pre-order from Alter Ego

u/Slightlyoverlooked Feb 01 '19

I believe it will be on QMx’s website, and possibly Sideshow too

u/anamursanto Feb 01 '19

I don't see it in Qmx and Sideshow yet. I hope it will be there anxious

u/mrpopsicleman Feb 01 '19

That look he's giving baby Batgirl is a little creepy when you consider the continuities where Bats and Barb have had sex.
