I loved the Joker Lego figure but the Batman figure arrived today and I love it even more! I think it must be the blue against silver colour scheme which is excellent. Batman's face looks like the Animated Series Batman too.
The item is a new form of Lego where the pieces are linked by interlocking balls and sockets so the figure is adjustable, so it's not immediately apparent that this is Lego as the bricks and little figures aren't part of this product.
That said, it's still fun to put together and it looks very, very cool once it is. It stands just over six inches and is a very nice piece of desktop décor to look at.
I think it would've been cooler if Batman had more recognisable weaponry like Batarangs or his grapple gun but the double blade is cool and looks good. In the absence of a cape, Batman's got the illusion of it with the four curvy blades at the back that move, and that looks cool too.
Overall, excellent product from Lego, easy and fun to put together, looks awesome when it is assembled, and it's Batman! I think if someone had said "what if Batman had a robot suit?" you would think it'd be a bad idea, but when you see the finished product, it's just too damn cool to deny. Hope they go on and do the other characters in the Batman universe, Robin, Catwoman, Two-Face, etc.
