"Batman" graphic novels

I stocked up on "Batman" graphic novels today and my backlog is growing. I was attracted to "Batman: Private Casebook" because it features "Zatanna" in the story. "Batman: Joker's Asylum" gives an insight into the psyche of "Batman's" foes.

"Black Widow"

I'm totally digging this "Black Widow". It is way better than the earlier "Marvel Legends" version.

"Black Widow" is one character that I've liked from appearances in "Daredevil" novels and I definitely want to secure this fig.

"Black Mask"

This "Batman" villain intrigued me because of the origins of his mask. I thought he was an obscure character until I read the beginning of the graphic novel "Batman: Under the Hood" where he features prominently as the ruling kingpin of the Gotham underworld.
I'm attracted to gruesome characters.

"Justice: Green Lantern Armoured"

This was one of 2 figures I arranged to be delivered to "Dr Giggles". Was originally planning on keeping the fig in the packaging but changed my mind when I discovered that the box was slightly dented.
The figure is massive... standing at least a head taller than my other 6" figures. I have it posed next to my DCUC "Hal Jordan".

"Catwoman"

A new "Batman" villain to my collection. I got this fig cheap because it has a broken arm. Can't tell from the pic right?
I prefer the modern "Catwoman" with her goggles over the classic version. The goggles are removable btw but I won't risk removing them in case the strap breaks.
I'm embarrassed to say this but I don't know which series this figure is from.

"Raven"

After a 3 week hiatus, I headed to CSC for my fix of toys. I collected "Raven" from "Toy Realm". This character was a "Fan Choice" for wave 15. I like the sculpt and colours but was not too excited about her horrible shoes.
I'm keeping her in the packaging even though her hand is twisted to hide her feet.

"Blackest Night: Batman"

I am astonished that this "Batman" was a peg warmer in "Toy Realm" for almost a month. I expected the stock of this fig to be barren from being ripped off the shelves.
This fig wasn't on my wish-list but its a nice addition to my "Blackest Night" collection.

"Green Lantern" ring

Chanced across this gorgeous ring and had to have it even though it is too big for me. Freaking awesome!!! Too bad I can't wear it but it is still nice to display.

New arrivals

Borders was having a sale and I was able to finally use their promotional vouchers to grab a few graphic novels. I'm greedy because I have a backlog of novels that I have yet to finish. 30% off was too good an offer to refuse. I procured "Arkham Asylum" because the storyline sounded intriguing and features key villains from the "Batman" realm. The cover of "Uncanny X-Men: Lovelorn" enticed me to get it.
A pity that the Parkway branch ran out of "Daredevil" novels. I was actually very keen on getting one.

"Wildcat"

I first knew about this character from watching the "Batman: The Brave and Bold" series on "Cartoon Network" whilst holidaying in Bintan earlier this year. He is one of "Batman's" mentors. This fig is the variant of the wave and this version is in a purple suit instead of his trademark black. I love his bandaged fists that highlights his boxing background.
