Finally able to pick up 1940 Batman.
The “black” is actually a very dark grey with some shimmer in it, really only noticeable in bright light but definitely there. The black shading on the cowl is still there. It really feels like a “vintage” deco all around, incredibly satisfying. The wired cape is great for making those angles in the cape from action shots of the period. I love how large the bat logo is on his chest, really differentiates him from blue/grey version of this beyond just adding the extra points. The headsculpt looks very stern and “Hollywood noir” in this deco.
I truly dig this figure, very possibly my favorite Batman in the whole line. He’s fighting Solomon Grundy as we speak, in a team-up with Alan Scott.
