Character:
This Azrael as Batman action figure was released in 2006 by DC Direct as part of the Batman: Knightfall Series 1. The figure is based on Jean-Paul Valley's time as Batman during one of the most famous storylines from the Batman comics of the nineties.
In Batman: Knightfall, Bruce Wayne is pushed to his limits by Bane. After Bane defeats the exhausted Batman and breaks his back, Bruce can no longer continue his fight against crime. Jean-Paul Valley, better known as Azrael, subsequently takes over the role of Batman temporarily.
However, Jean-Paul chooses a completely different approach. Under the influence of his psychological conditioning, known as The System, his actions become increasingly aggressive and violent. His Batsuit also changes drastically. The traditional costume makes way for a heavily armored blue-and-gold Batman suit with claws and other integrated weapons.
DC Direct released this striking version in 2006 as part of the Knightfall action figure series. The figure is approximately 7 inches tall and translates the characteristic Azrael-Batman design from the comics into the classic DC Direct scale.
Azrael as Batman appeared in the Knightfall series alongside, among others, Bane, Nightwing, Catwoman, and Batman in his Mask of Tengu version. The combination of the iconic nineties design and the relatively limited availability makes Azrael as Batman an interesting older DC Direct release today.
