While the world’s greatest detective strives to make sense of this strange new world, he’ll uncover the shocking truth about the Island, what lies beyond the Loop, and how everything is connected to the mysterious Zero Point.

Every fan of Batman, Fortnite, stunning art and edge-of-your-seat excitement won’t want to miss the Caped Crusader facing off against Fortnite champions on the Island, in a desperate attempt to save not only himself, but other familiar faces from the DCU…and perhaps the Multiverse itself!

BATMAN THOMAS WAYNE

Statue by Kotobukiya

ARTFX 1:6 Scale

ABOUT THIS STATUE

$179.93 CAD

The Flashpoint comic book crossover story arc that was released in 2011 by DC Comics ended in a surprising climax… 

What if the one who was killed by the robberーthe infamous scene that marks the birth of Batmanーwas actually Bruce Wayne rather than his father? This rendition of Batman showcases Thomas Wayne from the alternate timeline of Flashpoint as he tries to get his revenge after losing his own son. 

With the red circle behind the bat symbol and the red holster that holds his gun he uses to mercilessly fight against criminals, are all elements that add vivid color and accent to the dark-toned costume, instilling fear in his enemies.

The pose shows a father who is full of determination as he can be seen walking toward the light. 

This 1/6 scale statue, standing at 12.99 inches, brings to life the very essence of the question “what if” for Batman from this alternative arc.
