3 on Ranking the Best and Worst of the Adventures of Batman and Robin Action Figure LineBatman: The Animated Series not only changed cartoons, but the public perception of Batman on general. Much like the 1989 Batman film, it showed what could really be done with the character in less (purposefully, anyway) campy stories, yet the show went even further by distilling everything great about Batman and his world into a…
Up to this point, the action figure lines I've been looking at have mostly been from the '90s, with a little bit of 1980s thrown in for good measure. Today, let's jump forward a few decades to the 2010s and take a look at the toy line for the highly acclaimed animated series Young Justice.…
I sure do miss the days when you could go to a toy store and... Well, I could just leave it at that, really, since standalone toy stores are few and far between. Still, I used to love going to a store and seeing all sorts of toy lines, some of them cool, some of…

It spawned an entire "Batmania" movement in popular culture, with toys, video and board games, comics, apparel, and all sorts of merchandise appearing everywhere that summer. It changed movies, comic books, and even the character of Batman forever.…
I don't know about you, but I'm having a blast looking at all of these old Batman toys from years past. This week we're headed back to 1992 for what might be the most divisive Batman movie, Batman Returns. Granted, there are better Batman movies, and there are worse Batman movies, but this one film…
One of the best things about getting a new Batman movie is all of the cool new toys, collectibles, and other merchandise released in stores. These days, there are definitely some impressive pieces to be had-- that Jim Lee-inspired The Batman statue from McFarlane is one of my favorite Batman collectibles I own-- but there's…
