During the fun of the 1960s Batman series, Japan introduced their country to their own version of The Dark Knight. This included new villains, a new suit, and fifty-three chapters of adventures, all written by Jiro Kuwata. The manga was born from the creative minds in Japan, reimagining the Dynamic Duo's adventures in a way that resonates with a whole different audience. From the bustling streets of Gotham to the intricate details of Batman's character, this manga captures the essence of the iconic superhero with a unique artistic flair. Not much was known about this hero outside of Japan until his story was finally revealed in the US in 2008 by award-winning designer Chipp Kidd.
Manga Batman is now back as McFarlane Toys brings this alternate reality Japanese Batman to life in a whole new dimension with the release of their latest DC Super Powers wave. Meticulously designed and intricately detailed, this figure pays homage to the manga's interpretation of Batman, with his gray batsuit and artwork on the packaging. This is easily a Batman DC Super Power repaint, which keeps that tradition of classic toy nostalgia alive with this revived line. Collectors can find this Manga Crusader for pre-order at $9.99 with an April 2024 release. Be on the lookout for more DC Super Powers from Wave 5 with Kilowog, Brainiac, and Blue Beetle.
