Batman C (commonly called Dark Knight)

2. ears less pointy and a little thicker

For collecting's sake there are also the 4 different Batmen released

recently on the orange graphic cards:

2. Batman B2 with blue stem

3. Batman C1 with black stem

4. Batman C1 with blue stem

The one thing I took off the original list was the reference to the

black Batman with cape, since no one responded whether or not it was

authentic, and it seemed that someone had mentioned once that it was

not.

That was very interesting.  Let's see more!               Forget it.   I'm finished!
