Wild West Batman
Morrison consistently pushes the boundaries of the Batman character and mythos to new frontiers. For example, during Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne, Batman (after having been blasted by Darkseid’s Omega Sanction) is hurtling through history towards the present. We are then introduced to Batmen of every age including: Caveman Batman, Witch Hunter Batman, Pirate Batman, Wild West Batman, Detective / Noir Batman, and present day Batman. Each incarnation is worthy of being its own skin but Square Enix has taken Wild West Batman to a whole new level.
As part of their DC Comics Variant Play Arts Kai – Timeless edition, Square Enix wanted to experiment with toys adhering to the maxim that: “A Batman will always exist, as the Dark Knight is Timeless.” Thus, they created an updated Gunslinger Batman figurine that will make the mouths of all fans water. The incredible and painstaking detail of this figurine could be done justice with the graphics engine that powers Arkham Knight. And seriously, how awesome would it be to see Batman stylishly holster his grapple gun and chucking tomahawks instead of Batarangs?
