A couple of weeks ago we told you about the pairing down of the new
DC Universe All-Star line of action figures. Entertainment Earth has posted two news pics of
New 52 Superman and
Red Robin. There’s still no new pics for Justice League Batman or Superboy Prime yet.
BigBadToyStore.com continues to list wave 1 as a May release, but
Entertainment Earth has the set listed to drop in July.

MattyCollector.com has revealed more Batman movie figures. New sculpts of Michael Caine and Joseph Gordon-Levitt join Batman, Bane and Catwoman in the latest round of Movie Masters toys. Mattel has one more figure to add to the lineup, but they’re staying tight-lipped on that for now. Each figure in the line will come with a collect-and-connect piece of a projecting batsignal. We also got a new shot of the figures’ packaging. The first wave of figures should start shipping in April.

One thing Arkham City got wrong: the Harley Quinn boss battle. It just seemed a bitanticlimactic. I kept waiting for a proper showdown in Arkham City, but alas it didn’t come to pass. Perhaps in the next game we’ll get a proper fight with Joker’s main squeeze. If you are too impatient to wait for the third video game installment you can always reenact how the boss battle should have gone down with these two new action figures. Each features over 26 points of articulation, interchangeable hands, weapons and accessories.
Armored Batman and
Harley Quinn will run you around $60 when they arrive in July.
