Character:
This Batman action figure was released in 2006 by DC Direct as part of Batman: The Long Halloween Series 1. The series is based on the famous comic book series by writer Jeph Loeb and artist Tim Sale, translating Sale’s highly recognizable art style directly into a three-dimensional collectible.
Batman: The Long Halloween takes place during the early years of Batman's career. Gotham City is plagued by a mysterious serial killer known as Holiday, who strikes only on holidays. As Batman attempts to uncover the killer's identity, he becomes increasingly entangled in the world of the Falcone crime family and well-known adversaries such as The Joker, Catwoman, and Two-Face.
DC Direct based this Batman directly on Tim Sale's artwork. As a result, the figure has a distinctively different look than many traditional Batman renditions. The long cape, powerful build, and stylized proportions align closely with the dark and atmospheric art style of The Long Halloween.
The figure is officially approximately 6.75 inches tall and features multiple points of articulation. Batman comes with a Batarang, an October 31st calendar page, and a display base. The calendar is a nice nod to the central Holiday murder mystery from the story.
Batman was released alongside Catwoman, The Joker, Two-Face, and Mad Hatter in DC Direct's first The Long Halloween series.
