If there's one thing that's obvious about Mcfarlane's line of DC figures, which basically every collector knows at this point, its that Batman and his lore is something the toy line is mining pretty hard for its material. We've gotten countless versions of Batman himself, as well as several members of his supporting cast including Damien Wayne, Red Hood, and a few of his rogues gallery who were all present on the previous version of this list. With the future holding even more Batman supporting characters if Mcfarlane is to be believed, I'm revamping my list with a new top 5 of my most wanted Batman supporting characters for Mcfarlane's DC Multiverse line!

5. Batwing
Bumping himself into the top 5 rather than being an honroable mention this time around, I haven't been a huge fan of Luke Fox's Batwing but I have always thought that the Batwing suit always looked really cool! And with Mcfarlane's penchant for making cool suits of armor, Batwing seems prime to be made in their line and if its half as cool looking as their Murder Machine figure, then we'd be in for a treat! Not to mention the wings, which Mcfarlane loves to do as well.

4. Batman Beyond
One version of Batman that I know fans have really grown fond of over the years is Batman Beyond, basically the only character to take the title of Batman aside from Bruce Wayne who has been accepted by fans. The plain, streamlined suit would be a difference from the kind of suits Batman typically wears, and just like Batwing, this version of Batman has a pair of wings that Mcfarlane has proven he likes to adapt with their Hellbat suit and Golden armor 1984 Wonder Woman.

3. Cassandra Cain
One of the coolest versions of Batgirl in the comics is that of Cassandra Cain, a girl raised by some of the world's most deadly assassins who is primarily mute. Her batsuit is awesome and I love the design choice of having no mouth hole cut into the cowl, a stark difference from Batman who goes out of his way to keep a mouth piece most of the time. As a lot of the primary Batman supporting cast is produced, Cassandra Cain should be one of the next to be made.

2. Tim Drake
With Damien Wayne entering the line soon, that checks off almost all of Batman's primary robin sidekicks being introduced to the line. We've gotten Nightwing, Red Hood, Damien Wayne, and now all that we're waiting for to finish off that iconic group of four is Tim Drake. All of his Red Robin uniforms have looked really cool, and I cant wait to put that Robins alumni group together soon!

1. Batwoman
One of the more recent characters to join the lore but to make a big impact is Batwoman, Kate Kane, who took on the mantle herself and largely acts on her own without Batman's input. Her suit with the blend of black and red really looks outstanding, and I've really enjoyed both her Rebirth and pre-Rebirth runs in the comics! She's been popular enough to warrant her own tv show on the CW, and I hope she gets to join the line soon!
