This is a great boxset which include four classic Batman action figures: Batman first appearance (This is inspired in the first Batman ever drawn by Bob Kane), Batman from the golden age, Batman from the Superfriends TV show, and a all-new classic vision of Batman inspired by Alex Ross designs. Also you get an original comic book from DC with classic Batman adventures. This giftset is a plus if you are a mature collector, my only complain is the selection DC Comics made about the figures. It make little sense to have the Superfriends Batman in the collection, because this Batman version is from a TV show, while the rest of the figures are straight from comic book pages. Then, when reading the comicbook, you only get one page (it is a cover from a supoerfriends retro-comicbook from year 2003)that justify this action figure to be in the set. If DC would have wanted to make a decent homage, they had more action figures to choose from the DC universe: Jim Lee's Batman, Ed McGuiness' Batman, etc.

The Batman Superfriends action figure would have been perfect for a Batman animated collection from DC Direct, like Batman, the animated series action figure, Batman Superfriends action figure, Jeff Matsuda's Batman action figure, etc.

I imagine Batman fans will agree with me. Overall, a great collectible.

I am a huge Batman fan and when I saw this box set,I had to have it! Okay,sure,I agree with the first review,there are somethings that could have been done better;however,it is still a great box set and I recommend it to all Batman fans!
The first action figure (the way he looked when he first hit the comics) is my favorite! This is a great collectors item!

This is a pretty good cross section of the Batman character as he's appeared in DC Comics over the years. Many of these figures have been released before as part of other series, but it's nice to have them collected in one group.
I particularly like the 1939-1940 Batman, the different cowl and cape, the gloves, the whole style is so much more mysterious than subsequent incarnations.

These were cool action figures. What makes it educational is it shows the batman from a golden age to a modern age. It is not really a toy it is more of a collectors item because the modern batman"s arm got off after leaving it on a shelf for 2 yeas.
