Batman v Superman: Knightmare Batman Sideshow Figure
Want the Batman from Batman v Superman with a coat and gun? You’re in luck
Arguably the most disturbing scene in Batman v Superman (ok, aside from “Martha!”, but that’s for other reasons) is the part where Batman is in the desert in an apocalyptic future where the planet is overrun by Parademons and Superman has turned evil. Not because Superman has turned evil mind you, but because Batman is taking up guns and shooting down fools left and right. Now of course that was one of many (way too many) dream sequences in Batman v Superman, but for a hero who is known for not wanting to use guns, it was a pretty disturbing sight for many fans.
But hey, that “Knightmare Batman” might still make a pretty cool figure, and that’s what Hot Toys has for you. Check out the description of their Knightmare Batman figure from Sideshow Collectibles:
"In DC Comics’ blockbuster Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, audience and fans were intrigued by the “dream” Bruce Wayne had.

I mean hey, if you really loved Batman v Superman, this is definitely a well-detailed figure you’d be proud to have displayed in your collection. It’s just for those of us who don’t like the idea of Batman wielding a gun (something he’s historically against, even if he’s bent a little now and then on killing guys the “no guns” rule has always been in effect). There’s not really much appeal. The Knightmare Batman figure retails for 234.99 and ships between September and November of this year.
