These DC Heroes Prepare for Battle With New ‘Batman v Superman’ Figures From McFarlane Toys (2)

There have been countless interpretations of Batman on the big screen. While many of them never got the closure they deserved, the recent Dark Knight that always ponders the question of “What If” with DC fans is Ben Affleck's version of the character. He ended his tenure as Batman in last year's The Flash, but companies like McFarlane Toys have been keeping his Bat-legacy alive with new figures. Now McFarlane has just debuted their latest “Batfleck” and this time he’s brought along one of his Justice League teammates to join the fight.

The

two new DCEU figures in McFarlane’s 7-inch DC Multiverse line are of armored Batman and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman . These are based on their appearances in

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which happened to be both their DCEU debuts. While Affleck’s Batman and Gadot’s Wonder Woman have gotten many figures from McFarlane in the past for their various adventures, like

Zack Snyder's Justice League,

Shazam! Fury of the Gods and

Wonder Woman 1984, this year has been the first time under McFarlane’s DC Multiverse era since they got the license in 2020 they’ve made figures based on

Batman v Superman. The only one missing from this equation now is

Henry Cavill's Man of Steel.McFarlane has already done a Justice League version of the hero, in both his traditional red and blue color scheme and his black and silver variant, but

B v S marked the first time we saw DC's Trinity on the big screen. We should get an announcement of a new Cavill Superman figure sooner rather than later. Earlier this year they released Batfleck in his normal Bat-suit from the film and just unveiled a new resin DC Direct statue of that iconic suit as well.

The Formation of DC’s Trinity

B v S is as divisive as it was when it was released in 2016, yet the casting of this universe was never an issue. Affleck and Gadot’s Batman and Wonder Woman remain the ultimate highlight of this extinct universe, while their chemistry was something very reminiscent of what the characters shared in the beloved

JusticeLeague animated series. Also, say what you will about

B v S as a whole, the fight sequences still impress. Whether it be the Batman warehouse fight or The Dark Knight’s battle with Superman, ripped straight from the comics, Snyder’s eye for visually stunning spectacle remained true with this epic crossover film.That's especially true for the final fight of the film, which saw Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman fight side-by-side against Doomsday. The introduction of

Hans Zimmer’s Wonder Woman theme made the scene extra chill-inducing. While the

DCEU ended with

Aquamanand theLostKingdom last year, it’s still great that McFarlane is showing this universe some love before

James Gunn reboots the universe with next summer’s

Superman.
