It’s been a little over five years the release ofBatman: Arkham Knight, and since then fans have been waiting for another new installment in theBatmanseries. While a new title calledGotham Knightsis currently in development at Warner Bros. Games, a toy company has developed figures for two iconic characters from Rocksteady’sArkhamseries.
TheBatman Arkhamgamesare 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 twoBatman-related figures based onBatman: Arkham KnightandBatman: Arkham Origins.

These figures first debuted atSan Diego Comic Con, which became a digital event in July. The first notable figure is Batman himself, based on the version of the character fromArkham 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 onSlade Wilson, better known to many as Deathstroke. This figure is based on the version of Deathstroke featured inArkham 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 otherBatman-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’sBatman Arkhamseries, and this level of quality is to be expected from McFarlane Toys, which has alsoreleased figures for characters like Geralt of Rivia.
These figures should satisfy some fans of the series as they await the release ofGotham Knights. ThoughGotham Knightsdoes not take place in theArkhamuniverse, it shares a lot of elements like gameplay design. However, there is also the newSuicide Squad: Kill The Justice Leaguegame 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 Knightis available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
