SEEKERS OF THE BAT

A fan favorite element of Batman’s characterization is that he always wins in the end, no matter the odds stacked against him. His ultra preparedness ensures that he always has just the training or tool needed in his infamous utility belt.

Here, Dustin Nguyen pictures the result of an oft-debated match against a familiar foe. No matter that Wolverine instantly heals from any wound, has superhuman agility and reflexes, or is from a wholly different publishing universe, Batman still finds a way to stand triumphant.

Although Batman’s costume design seems timeless, it has actually changed in significant ways over the years. In this set of action figures, note the ears, mask, colors and logo. It’s almost hard to believe they are all meant to depict the same person.
