Review Detail

There's no doubt about it that this figure looks just like the character from the Batman Beyond animated cartoon. Like all of the 13" action figures in this DC Direct line, the quality is pretty good.

Terry is clad in his usual one-piece black bodysuit with iconic red bat emblem on the chest. Around his waist is a removable black utility belt with silver hardware. That's about it... the design of the uniform is very simple. Since the DC animated cartoon spawned this character, it made sense to mimic the look of the animation used in the DC animated universe. Some people might feel that was a mistake since the style of Batman Beyond doesn't match with any of the other 13 inch DC Direct figures.

The head sculpt is highly stylized with extremely long bat-ears, silver eyes, and high arched brows -- again very animated. The entire head (except for the eyes) is painted a matte black.

While all of this simplicity is probably accurate for the cartoon style as well as the high-tech uniform that this version of Batman employs, it does come across a little as being overly simplified. This figure probably would have done better if it had actually been given a little bit more realism and detail similar to what we've seen in other 13 inch DC Direct figures.

Included with the Batman Beyond figure is a black display stand with the Batman Beyond logo gloss varnished onto the base of the stand. Batman Beyond also includes three sets of hands, although two appear to be duplicates. There are two sets of fists and one set of open palms.

The final accessory is Batman's detachable red cape wings.

Overall, a good likeness to the animated version of the character.
