Top 5 most wanted McFarlane DC Multiverse Batman figures vol 3

Mcfarlane's DC Multiverse line has really expanded in terms of the characters it includes, with many classic characters and even obscure designs and figures being out put. That said, Batman still maintains a heavy presence in the line of course, being the Batman, but that being said Batman is easily the most popular and as many Batman figures as they make there are constantly more suits and designs from the comics waiting to be made. We've gotten a hefty serving of Batmen since I last made a Batman wishlist, with long time wants such as Owlman, Injustice 2, and more live action media being explored, and these next five slots are what I hope to see down the road!

Honorable mention: Justice League 3000 and Thrasher Armor

Taking the honorable mention slots is a sick looking Batman from an alternate future where the Justice League is cloned but with personalities askew from their original counterparts. Justice League 3000/3001 were both compelling ideas with so-so execution, but there was no doubt that it was an entertaining and unpredictable read with some very cool designs such as the red-themed Batman. My other honorable mention slot will be the New 52 Thrasher armor, which I expect could be coming sooner rather than later with how much focus the New 52 Batman series has been getting lately, especially their armored suits like the Justice Buster and Rookie robot!

5. Red Son

With Red Son Superman being done so early into the line I was expecting it wouldn't be long until we saw Batman from the same storyline; however, years later and there's still no sign that that Elseworlds universe will be continued. I'm still hoping for it to, and we get enough Batmen figures each year that slotting in this rebel Batman shouldn't be too difficult.

4. Gaslight

Another Elseworlds take on Batman that I'm surprised has not yet made its way into the line yet is Gaslight, which recently has received a sequel series meaning it is even more so back on the minds of fans. The time is now to release a Gaslight Batman figure which I think Mcfarlane could blow away, especially with their recent implementation of cloth capes. 

3. Arkham Origins

The videogame side of the DC Multiverse line seems to have really slowed down unfortunately, with the latest releases just a couple of repaints (one being the horribly underscaled Solomon Grundy). The Arkham games are a gold mine for great designs from the Batman universe and I hope to see a return to these game more proper sooner rather than later, starting with the Arkham Origins suit. We've gotten Batman in his primary designs from the other three games in the series, so now we just need the fourth from the severely underrated prequel game. 

2. Batman Begins

The flood of live action Batmen we've been getting in the line has been great for someone like me who really enjoys a lot of the live action properties that DC puts out. The Dark Knight trilogy in particular has been really filled out well; however, Batman Begins is the film in that trilogy that hasn't seen as much love as the other two, and I think putting out Bale's Batman design from that first movie would go a long way towards giving us a more complete Dark Knight trilogy line up.

1. BVS Armor and Knightmare

Another set of the live action Batman designs are making the top spot on the list, and with Affleck's BVS suit getting a single release in the line I hope we can soon see his other designs from that film brought to plastic form in the DC Multiverse series. The armored suit from the titular fight in the movie is a great translation from the source material, while the Knightmare design is a rough and rugged Mad Max-esque look that we don't often see with the Dark Knight. I know guns are likely still off the table for these releases, but the Kryptonite gas launcher would still be cool to get, and especially the Kryptonite spear!
