It's been a little over five years the release of Batman: Arkham Knight, and since then fans have been waiting for another new installment in the Batman series. While a new title called Gotham Knights is currently in development at Warner Bros. Games, a toy company has developed figures for two iconic characters from Rocksteady's Arkham series.
The Batman Arkham games are beloved by many in the gaming community, as they feature tight combat mechanics, well-written characters and narratives, as well as engaging worlds. As a way of celebrating the franchise, McFarlane Toys has announced pre-orders for two Batman-related figures based on Batman: Arkham Knight and Batman: Arkham Origins.
These figures first debuted at San Diego Comic Con, which became a digital event in July. The first notable figure is Batman himself, based on the version of the character from Arkham Knight. While the figure only stands at seven-inches tall, it has a remarkable level of detail and also comes included with two accessories: The sword remote electric charge, and the remote-control Batarang.
In addition to Batman, there is also a figure based on Slade Wilson, better known to many as Deathstroke. This figure is based on the version of Deathstroke featured in Arkham Origins, once again only stands at seven-inches tall, and much like the Batman figure, it comes with an additional accessory: A katana. Both figures come with a figure base and a collectible art card. They are both available now for pre-order on Amazon for $19.99.
These figures, along with numerous other Batman-related figurines shown off during Comic Con @Home, are incredibly detailed and fun collectibles for fans of the series. They are both near-identical to the level of detail and polish within Rocksteady's Batman Arkham series, and this level of quality is to be expected from McFarlane Toys, which has also released figures for characters like Geralt of Rivia.
These figures should satisfy some fans of the series as they await the release of Gotham Knights. Though Gotham Knights does not take place in the Arkham universe, it shares a lot of elements like gameplay design. However, there is also the new Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League game being developed by Rocksteady, which should help to satiate fans who have waited several years for a new game whenever it releases in 2022.
Batman: Arkham Knight is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
