Editorial Review

A sturdy home away from home for Superman, Wonder Woman, and other superheroes, this sprawling command tower sports battle-alert bells, a mobile elevator, and a rooftop combat station armed with a missile launcher. A trip wire on one platform and a trap door in another ensnare unsuspecting enemies, while your favorite Justice League action figure runs the whole operation from the bridge. Flipping a lever folds the tower shut, revealing only a steely exterior. There's also a shuttle craft that docks near the base and fires its own projectiles. The tower stands 21 inches and runs on three AA batteries, not included. Action figures are sold separately. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

Editorial Review

Ker-pow! A whopping 42 inches tall, with four levels, this Batcave is accessible through a secret door behind the entertainment center in Bruce Banner's swank penthouse. A transformation elevator converts Banner into the Caped Crusader; from there, he can slide down the Batpole to a bungee drop or a missile launcher that jets out from the cave. Most notable are the remote landing platforms, connected to the cave by cords and pulleys that stick easily to bedroom windows thanks to adhesive strips. Off another landing hangs a net for catching bad guys. It takes up a lot of space, but it's a fun, ingenious toy with lots of bells and whistles. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

Excellent!
We ordered Superman & Batman Large Figures.
Excellent condition at a very good price.

Looks great
The great thing about this toy is that it looks awesome in packaging and is therefore great for displaying. It is an exact replica of the Superman from the JLA animated series. Another high point is that it is relatively inexpensive in comparison to the seriously overpriced Maquettes.

But the bad thing about it is that, for an action figure it has severly limited articulation. The arms and the neck move and that's basically it. But even more than that is that, it's near impossible to display this out of the box due to its seriously disproportionate upper body and lower body.

But if you are buying for a kid like my six-year old cousin who is a big fan of the JLA you won't care about any of those articulation or display complaints. They'll just be ecstatic having the toy in their hands. I also bought one but I am happy displaying it in the box. In my opinion, it's a pretty decent toy for kids and collectors.

Great, but only the guys? Where are WW and HG?
Great, kids will love this. It will be excellent for Xmas.

BUT WHERE ARE WONDER WOMAN AND HAWKGIRL?
Sheesh.

Excellet Art Deco replica of JLA on Cartoon channel
I have Green Lantern, Flash and Supe. Supe is particularly nice with the cape.

All 3 are excellent replicas of the marquettes from the JLA cartoon series. I will likely get Batman to complete the set since I have been so pleased with the 3 already.
Great substitute if you don't want to spend an insane amount of money on the marquettes. ... Read more

Its Ok.
It is a flash figure. Until DC Comics and Mattel decide to do something along the lines of DC Legends, similar to Toy Biz' Marvel Legends, we have to be thankful for ANYTHING that comes out.

Unfortunately, however, there is no detail to this line of figures. The bright side is, they do resemble the animated series, in that it is as 2 dimensional, as a drawing.

Nevertheless, since there seems to be a lack of variety in the DC world for reasonablly priced superhero figures, some accolades and applause is deservant for Mattel. We can only hope they drastically improve on the design quality; and, thank them for not gouging us on this line. A much better value than the 4 inch versions.

Where's Green Lantern?
I think these large Justice League figures are great. I personally am not disappointed in the lack of articulation (joints where the figure's limbs can move), since I'm getting these for my very young son, and he doesn't care. Besides, these figures are done in the highly simplified "cartoon" style, which to me indicates that they'd naturally be less intricate mechanically. My GRIPE is that many of these toys are not shipped in equal quantities, so there are fewer of one than the others. I've seen tons of Batman figures, but not one Green Lantern, for instance. Many of these scarcer figures are horded by collectors/dealers, leaving people like me who actually want to buy them for their children with an incomplete set. It's sad this is the way the toy business works at times. STILL, these are great toys--very iconic, very well designed.

Great for collectors
If you can't afford the $... maquette, this is great substitute.
I say it's great for collectors becoz there are few points of articulation so it looks more like a statue than a toy.

Only cons is that the botton half of flash is a slightly different red than from the top. This is no noticeable from a distance though.

Morphing the Justice League !
WOW ! 10" of the Flash. These large Justice League figures are great for both the collector and for younger kids who can appreciate more figure to hold onto. As with all the Mattel DC Superhero figures released this year I cannot emphasize enough that all the figures need more articulation ! We know it can be done (see the Marvel Legends series figures). Honestly, at the price points these figures are at we as consumers are justified in expecting the much needed articulation. The figures are well done....Please give us figures which can be played with in the positions they are depicted in when they are in action !

FLASH!!!
This toy is so cool that kids should use it as a collectors item. ... Read more

Batman 12" figure...WOW!!
This figure is simply beautiful. It looks great sitting on a shelf and it's a great toy for young Batman fans to play with. The only way they could make this toy better is to have additional characters from the world of Batman to go along with it. Superman would look great in this form. And, of course, you need some villians. Joker, Riddler, Two Face, Killer Croc, Mr. Freeze! They all would be perfect! However, it's only Batman who comes in the 12" size for now, so you'll have to use your imagination. One drawback for this figure is when he bends his leg at the hip, it causes the pockets in his utility belt to open when you don't want them to. Other than that, there is NOTHING to complain about. Go ahead and buy five of them. Maybe the strong demand will persuade Mattel to continue this type of action figure.

This Darkknight is THE DARKKNIGHT!!
It is about time that someone comes out with an accurate depiction of Batman The Darkknight himself. This is not your fathers Batman!
This is the real Darkknight, and it shows just by looking at him.
This goes in line with any comic book fan, a good example of Frank Millers The Darkknight Returns, not as old of course, but never the less, this is the true depiction of what The Darkknight is all about! Here Here Mattel, I give a 4 1/2 star batarang rating on this one! (The utility pouches do not open as far as shown, and can be cracked, so be careful, don't force it). The batcape also doesn't spread out as shown,it's sewn to his costume above his shoulders, so it takes some creativity to get it to stay if you like the full batwing look. ... Read more

Matt's Review
This toy is awesome. Some of the pieces come off but I still love it. My dad said it was better than my other toys. I got this toy because I got a good grade on my report card. I got to say, I love this toy.

''Batboat or Batjet?''
I HAVE A SIX YEAR OLD SON WHO IS COMPLETELY OBSESSED WITH THE SHOW THE BATMAN.HE GETS UPBETWEEN 10 AND 11 EVERY SATURDAY TO WATCH THE SHOW.HE SAW THIS ONE EPISODE WHERE BATMAN IS CHASING JOKER,BUT IT LOOKS LIKE HES IN A BOAT(BATJET).AFTER MY SON HAD SEEN THE VEHICLE HE ASKED TO GO TO TOYSRUS. WHEN WE GOT THERE ALL WE SAW WAS THE BATMOBILE,BATCAVE,AND MOTORCYCLE.MY SON WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED.BUT WHEN I WAS DOING MY CHRISTMAS SHOPPING WITH MY WIFE WE NOTICED IT ON A SHELF RIGHT NEXT TO THE BATMOBILE ALONG WITH SOME NEW FIGURES.I PICKED IT UP AND NOTICED IT SAID 3-IN-ONE BATJET.I FIGURED IT WAS A TYPO.WHEN MY SON RECIEVED IT ON CHRISTMAS DAY HE WAS VERY HAPPY.ALTHOUGH IT SAD BATJET ON THE PACKAGE HE STILL THINKS ITS A BATBOAT.IT ALSO BECOMES A CYCLE WHICH I THINK IS PRETTY COOL. I GIVE THIS PRODUCT A 4 OUT OF 5 BECAUSE MY SON ENJOYED IT AND SO DID I.

NOT WORTH THE PRICE PAID
My 6 year old son spent his own money on this toy (about $20).He played with it for an hour and then asked to return it.He said that it doesn't have 3 toys in one, which one is led to believe from the packaging.It should be labeled 2 in one, which would better reflect the packaging.

The wingtips fall off when snapping the motorcycle part into the flight part.It was difficult for my son to put the pieces together.

The noises are intermittent.I checked the batteries and it requires 3 of the A76 batteries (also used for hearing aids).These are very expensive.

The toy is so specific that one is required to buy the exact Batman to use it.

This was a very disappointing purchase.We do not recommend this toy.

Disappointing, unattractive, annoying electronics
First off, corrections to the current description here on Amazon, this toy is NOT motorized, it only has electronic sounds. Also, the photos up now show a prototype with a few different details, the actual toy has a clear canopy with tech lines sculpted in and openings above the blue intakes, the small rear fins at the top are translucent, and the bat-symbols stick out a quarter inch since one is a button.

Now, as to the review: Once again I have been duped by packaging, just like this line's Batmobile before it, I bought the 3-in-1 Batjet in part because the box art made it look nifty, but the art is far cooler than the actual toy. The gimmick here is that the main jet comes apart into 2 other pieces, a motorcycle that is the main jet's cockpit, and the, um, "rest" of the jet, the empty jet hull - this last part puts the "3" in "3-in-1 Batjet" yet doesn't actually have a task of its own so it's really just 2-in-1 with a sizeable leftover part to set aside. The bike takes a little maneuvering to lock into the jet hull, a feat which might be too difficult for little hands, but once you get the hang of it it's not too bad.

This Batjet has futuristic but unattractive lines, it's too odd with its drop-down nose, narrow wings, and empty fan in the back; the removable motorcycle part while neat in theory is too shapeless and plain even with the techie bits near the bottom and large rear wheel. The underside of the jet has 3 small hidden wheels but is otherwise just as featureless as the interior of the empty jet hull. The motorcycle has a translucent tech bit on either side near the bottom reminiscent of the line's Batmobile, and the right side is the same except that you can attach a missile-launcher to the middle screw hole (this launcher and wide electro-blade missile seem very much like a half-baked afterthought). The small front wheel at the front of the bike is all plastic, but the larger rear wheel has a rubber tire; unfortunately the bike doesn't roll very nicely at all on any surface, and is very low-slung so it can't bank for turns.

Besides the separating gimmick, there's also an electronic feature that can get really annoying after a few seconds. The problem is that while in "try-me" packaged mode the button on the side of the bike sets off the 2 sound effects, in "play" mode the sound effects are driven by an overly-sensitive motion sensor so they go off constantly and won't shut up till you flip the switch, which is inaccessable when the bike is docked in the jet hull (the try-me button no longer does anything at all in regular play mode, it should have done SOMETHING here). Did I mention it's also a bit too loud? There's a switch on the bottom of the bike which is depressed when attached to the jet that lets it know to only make the jet sound, it goes off whenever it senses the slightest motion - which quickly becomes tiresome as it's a slow flyby sound which isn't all that exciting to hear repeating over and over. When removed from the jet, the bike makes a motorcycle revving sound which is cool at first but then just repeats the second half over and over unless absolutely still, it would have been a lot more fun even if this sound was constant while the toy was in motion rather than just sounding like someone hitting the clutch over and over and over and over, ad infinitum. And as if the motion sensor setting it off all the time wasn't enough, it has a second switch when you turn the rear wheel - thank goodness for the OFF switch.

Finally, what really makes me most displeased with the 3-in-1 Batjet is that the cockpit is too narrow to accomodate the arms of any of the 4 Batman figures I have from this line except Bruce Wayne, and only when he's not wearing his gauntlets! I should have known since none of the box photos show the toy holding a figure inside. Many of my earlier complaints might have been overlooked if not for this massive misstep, it totally undermines the toy (worse even than the Batmobile's similar problem).

My advice: save your money for something more fun and less annoying than this, it's like the designers released this one too early, far too many frustrations are had here. ... Read more

Kewl
Awesome paint job on batman. But the reason we're all buying this is for nightwing. Good sculpt, cool Billy clubs. Overall a very cool two pack. I rated the education 2 because you don't learn much from them. Action figures are supposed to be fun not educational. Still very good. A+

Coolest Nightwing Figure
In the beginning, Mattel looked as if they were going to just keep pumping out Hasbro type figures, with the early 2-pack series, and the Justice League figures.
Being a serious collector, I would buy them, anyway, but, I would not be happy.
After a phone call to Mattel, I was assured my complaints and suggestions would be taken into consideration.
Apparently they were, because then came the new Batman line; highly articulate and a great sculpt.
This particular set features the single best Nightwing figure ever. He looks cool, and has a fresh look to him.
Mattel has done very well with this series. This 2 pack would receive a score of 100%, except they re-released it in series 3.
That alone drops the score.
Bottom line:
Pro's: Best Nightwing sculpt ever. Nice set of accesories. Competively priced (...)
Cons: A second release in the 3rd wave with no alterations, is rediculous.
Final Score: 85. (100% for the first edition).

batman sucks nightwing is awesome
nightwing is a great toy and his outfit is cool I love the night sticks he makes the set worth bying. but batman is wearing a ninja type suit, it's really ugly the silver shines way to bright. mattel is doing a great job on these new batman toys I dont even play with toys really but these toys have been making me play with them but i also think that mattel should make toys like mr.freeze,two-face and clayface ect. I have every two pack batman and nightwing, batman and superman and batman and robin all I need now is batman and joker.

Nightwing Looks Cool But Batman Is A Fool
I too (like one of the other reviewers) have been on the hunt for Robin since these new 6" Batman toys have hit the stores...I think they must have made only 1 Boy Wonder because I haven't been able to find him anywhere...well that's not really true, I have found Robin on other web sites but I'm not willing to pay $50.00 dollars for him...SOOOOOOOO because my son has the new Batmoblie (yes it is the best one made to date...even if it looks a little "hollow" when you take the side car away from the main body) I bought this double pack so Nightwing could ride along with Batman in the side car...This Batman figure however has landed at the bottom of his toy box because even my 5 year old knows that Batman would never leave the Batcave dressed like that! Buy it for Nightwing and grab the double pack Superman-Batman for the real look of the World's Finest.

Batman and Nightwing
This two pack is a nice alternative to the Batman/Superman 2-pack by Mattel, but not near as cool. Nightwing is the only reason for buying this item. Mattel is obviously as stupid as Hasbro was in making a bunch of other Batman figures that nobody really wants and they end up in the markdown pile of the toy stores. Mattel has gone off and put Batman in other uniforms to accomedate his crime-fighting environment. Although no one has really ever seen Batman in anything other than his usual uniform. And, if they did, who cares. So, instead of making more of the characters that people want--like Robin, Joker, or Mr. Freeze--they give us this kind of stuff. This item is a great opportunity to own Nightwing with two nightsticks for weapons. As for the Batman figure in this set, all I can say is this: At least they didn't decide to color his uniform orange. ... Read more

Could have been better.
The figurines look OK. Even the strangely-colored Batman seems so work. I do hate the absence of the stand, however. The toys would not stand on their own, and, because of the way the joints are made, they cannot be sat down either. ... Read more
