Brave and the Bold is the newest version of the Caped Crusaders adventures and the series basically teams Batman up with a new hero-of-week every week. The choices for team-ups tend to be more obscure or lesser known characters.
Personally, I am holding out for a Plastic Man figure myself.
Mattel was demonstrating a Batmobile for the line which converted into a Jet and featured several firing missiles. The show is a lot of fun and adults will enjoy it as much as kids I suspect. The toys look pretty good to.

For DC's sake I don't care about Batman....because HE'S HITLER.

what's your point?
'what's your point?'
Batman's Number One, He rules with an iron fist, and the DC Superheroes are his slaves.

I dunno.
Can I get a Batman that isn't shaped like a freakin' lightbulb!?

The one they did a few lines back that was patterned after the Jim Lee version was pretty nice. It was the first Batman figure I bought since Super Powers.
True...I should have qualified my statement. I meant, can I get a modern cartoon Batman--that will eventually be realized in toy form--that isn't shaped like a lightbulb.
I picked up the DC Direct SDCC08 Batman fig, and while he's still too beefcake for the Batman in my mind, at least his physique is still plausible by human standards! Since the original 90's "Batman: The Animated Series", all the cartoons have been going for that absurd, over-simplified, top-heavy look for all male heroes.

Looks nice, but the limbs of these figures look totally awkward with those hexagonal accesory plugs in them...
