Best Matt Wagner Batman?

Now that the LooseCollector Hunter Rose Grendel is on his way home; I'm gonna need a Batman for him to beat up; and only Matt Wagner's will do. As the resident 18th nerd I've no idea how many 12th Batman there actually have been nor how many companies have done him. I'm looking for a figure that looks and moves as much like this as possible:






I've got a modicum of customizing skills so the exact outfit doesn't need to match so much as the overall 'build' of the figure needs to match the proportions and face Matt gives him. The relative lack of muscle definition is probably the rarest detail to be found out there; I'm thinking

Well, there’s the DC Direct Trinity one from years back that’s based on Wagner’s art. Almost no articulation though.

Noticulation is a deal-killer; buuuuuut maybe the head could be used if need be. I'll keep that idea in my pocket, gracias.

The closest thing out on the market today is the Year One Batman from McFarlane Toys but that’s obviously 1/10th scale. You might have to find a custom mezco figure or some other cloth goods kit for this

Upcoming Mezco Year One Batman is pretty close style-wise. Meanwhile I'm trying to figure out how to work out a soft goods Grendel.

Assuming you've got or are getting the LooseCollector one I'd imagine the only difficulty would be finding one to fit his slimmer frame, then simply dye it black if need be. Honestly, you could maybe use a woman's jumpsuit to fit him altho the shoulders will probably be tight.

And yeah, MazzuBats will suffice until WagBats comes along. Gracias!

NOTA has a slim muscular body that could work for a soft goods Grendel. There are plenty of black jumpsuits on eBay, so it would just be a matter of figuring out the boots and swapping the head/neck over, if possible.
