The Bat-shaped crutch is a reality on everything DC comics, movies, games, toys, you name it and Batman is used as a booster shot... So, here's my list of Batman characters that I want Todd McFarlane to make.
15: Mister Freeze (Batman and Robin):
While there are other iconic versions of the character, we need, no, DESERVE this version. We're most likely not getting anything from 66, Superfriends, and the Christopher Reeve Superman, so at least give me the Schumacher Freeze, who has enpugh details on his outfit to be worthy of being a McFarlane toy.
14: Penguin (Nu52):
While not as Freaky looking as the Tim Burton version, he still has a freaky vibe when compared to the classic version of the character.
13: Batgirl (Arkham Knight):
It's a more "McFarlane-ish" look to Batgirl. The one we got is OK (based on pics) but I'm not a fan of the non-cowl look for her. Looks like it was made for a low budget porn parody than for her to actually fight crime.
12: Clayface:
Imagine a Clayface done with detail levels matching McFarlane Toys... That's some Jean st. Jean or 4Horsemen before being tamed by Mattel levels of badassery.
11: Riddler (Classic spandex Outfit):
I hate most modern versions of Riddler, because they dress him up like this:
While the Spandex outfit is "corny" it's not Orville Redenbacher's younger brother trying to get me free Government money.
10: Ra's al Ghul:
We have Many Detectives, we have Damian, so we need the Head of the Demon. Personally, I would like a shirtless version of him. Not a fan of the Green business suit with cape look.
9: Catwoman (Modern):
Can't have a decent Batman line without the infamous Rogue/Love interest that is Catwoman.
8: Red Robin (Nu52):
The only member of the Bat family that is currently not a toy is Tim Drake. I didn't choose the Arkham version of Robin for Tim, because it looks too much like Chris O'Donnell Robin and one Schumacher figure is enough.
7: Harley Quinn (classic):
I DON'T want Juggalette Harley. Hell, I don't want the Arkham version despite being based on Tara Strong. And the Classic Harley we got is in animated style, which clashes with the rest of the figures.
6: Two-Face:
Whichever version they make, he's going to need extra hands with the coin sculpted on them.
5: Commissioner Gordon:
Jim Gordon is "a guy in a suit" but is an essential Batman character. He can be a hostage, an ally, a prop on some displays.
4: Scarface and the Ventriloquist:
I'm aware he's a bit of an odd choice, but he's more (action) displayable than, say Mad Hatter, or Hugo Strange.
3: Poison Ivy:
I'll take any version of her as long as it's on the "realistic" side and not Uma Thurman.
2: Man-Bat:
Come on, a McFarlane line and we haven't gotten this monstrous character? Just picture him... you're welcome.
1: Alfred:
You cannot have a Batman line without his right hand man, his father figure, Alfred. Needs his shotgun.
