REVIEWED BY CRAMCOMPANY

Today we'll be reviewing Batman from Icons

As we all know Batman is the last son of Krypton.  After being bitten by a spider he gained super strength, but only when he became enraged.  Later he joined a rogue team of Mutants in the attempts to protect Gotham.

 It should also be known that Batman wears an actual costume, it is not just painted on his body.

I hope that answers many of your questions.

Rookie:  79 points, Batman Team, 6 range/1 target. 6 clicks

Experienced:  102, Batman Team, 6 range/2 target. 7 clicks

Veteran: 119, No team, 8 range/2 target.  8 clicks

WHICH IS BETTER?:  There is a 20 point difference in each so there needs to be a massive upgrade, between the two.  80 points for 6 clicks is too much, so is his low attack and range.  So the rookie is out.  The Veteran is stronger yes, but he does not have Batman Team Ability, which is always so useful.  I vote for the Experienced, which is relatively reasonable priced for what you get.  Winner:  Experienced

MOVEMENT:  9 with leap climb for the entire dial.

ATTACK:  10,9,9,8,8,7,7  Incapacitate and the beginning two clicks and the last two at the end.

DEFENSE:  17,16,16,15,15,14,14.  Willpower until the last two clicks when it changes to toughness.

DAMAGE:  (3,3 outwit), 2,2,2,(1,1 Outwit)

SCULPT:  I like this one so much better then legacy.  Every time I see that one, I think it’s a flyer.  Then I’m like….Batman doesn’t fly!  BATMAN DOESN’T FLY AT ALL! 

OVERALL:

• 100 points for a standard 7 clicks

• 17 defense is pretty darn good

• He has incapacitate the same time as outwit.  This is good at first, because you can outwit something that is not defensive and Batman can still do incapacitate damage

• His middle two clicks are worthless. No attacking powers.

• 6 range is not that great.

• Is there a better combo in the game then stealth/outwit

• Oh yes, Hypesonic Speed/Super Strength…but stealth/outwit is still good

• Cool pose.

• Batman Team ability is about the best team ability to copy

• High attack and 3 damage with willpower as a starting click is good for the points.

Nearly all Batman figures are good…except for Dark Knight Detective.  This one is a nice medium Batman between all of them.  But he does not impress me.  The Legacy one is so much stronger, has more clicks, has a lot more abilities, all for 10 more points. He’s still Batman and Batman is great, but this is not the best Batman. If you want to play Batman, play Legacies Version and you will not be disappointed.  This one is okay, but he just can’t fly.

HE RECEIVES A 3 OUT OF A POSSIBLE 5 THUMBS UP!

Good, Bad, I’m the Guy with the Clix
