    Mattel Batman Villians??

    OK, so I can't spell "villain" so sue me >

    Batman has wayyy too many cool villains and since they appear to be pairing up one villain per hero I was wondering what they are going to do about the Riddler, Joker, Penguin, and hopefully Scarcrow. I would guess when they release Robin he will be paired with one of them. I would hope they will release Catwoman in a wave with Batgirl.

    Would love to see the entire Legion Of Doom but not sure if that is going to be a real possibility. What do you think?

    I'm thinking that the Riddler, Penguin, and Joker will wind up being Matty exclusives. I'm thinking that Mr Freeze will be the figure to be opposite Robin.
    It's all good!

      i think if ythey come across some Hero with out a Name Villain, they can throw a Bat villain with them. or with the HB superfriends heros.

        It would be nice if they made a Julie Newmar inspired Catwoman. I never did like Mego's.

          Robin will get paired up with a big Bat-Villain like the Riddler or Scarecrow.

            I figure Robin will be paired with Joker. Lex and Joker are the two most iconic villains in the DC universe. Joker needs an action figure.

            Now Robin has always been a less popular figure, so pairing him with one of the most popular villains would be smart.

              I would love a Mr Freeze... although I'd favour a more contemporary version like the Bruce Timm look either animated or in the current comics.

              I have he wonder if he wouldn't be hypothermically redundant given the fact that Captain Cold's already been drafted into the Mattel Legion of Doom.

                How about they throw in a Jim Gordon figure? They could pair him with whatever Bat foe you want.

                  I think wave three will be Robin and Joker, Flash and a villian.

                  They should save WonderWoman till later

                  a four pack wave that has charaters no body knows won't be so cool at retail.

                  Still whwn I picked out my Star Wars as a kid it had NOTHING to do with who they were just if I had them already and they loked cool.

                  case in point Black Manta.

                    If the line is successful, anything is possible. Eventually they'd mix it up and perhaps release a wave of just villans.

                      They can pair one off with Batgirl, Batwoman and Huntress, too.

                        I'm not really into Mr. Freeze or Poison Ivy as much but I sure want Penguin,Joker and Riddler for sure. These 3 are a must. Catwoman is one I'd buy too if i's the purple dress,if it's pirate Catwoman I will pass. Scarecrow I would want before Mr. Freeze.

                          I think, at least I hope, Mattel stays Silver Age through and through regarding character representations. All 1970's style, which it appears they are doing anyway. Hasbro already tried all the weird "newer" characters like Red and Blue Supes, Kyle Rainer GL, etc and they bombed. All 1970's and this line will rock. Having said that, Catwoman definitely needs to be purple dress version.
                          The releases for Batpeople should be:

                          BATMAN/TWO-FACE (only because this was already announced, no?)
                          ROBIN/RIDDLER
                          BATGIRL/JOKER
                          CATWOMAN/PENGUIN

                          He has so many great villains! This will be interesting how they do this. I agree that at least one will be Matty Exclusive. Whatever they do, I'm buying. I love this line! The best toy line I've seen in the last 10 years.

                            Joker is strong enough a character that he could be released without a supporting Bat hero. I have a sneaking suspicion that Robin will be paired with either Catwoman and batgirl will be complementing the Joker. Batgirl figures have generally sold well. Catwoman not nearly as well. I think Mattycollector could claim all 4 classic arch batfoes as a rogues gallery multipack, therefore freeing up Robin to be paired with scarecrow, and another villain to be paired with Batgirl. It seems likely that if Cheetah and Wonder Woman do not sell as well as the other 2 figures in the set, they will shy away from releasing too many female figures in one assortment. Thus paving the way for Mr Freeze, and second teir bat villains.

                              Ever since Killing Joke was published, Batgirl and Joker are always put
                              together which is kind of disturbing to me.

                              Whether or not that trend will continue with this line remains to be seen.
