Go Back To 1997 With Batman, Robin, Poison Ivy & Mr Freeze!

Knight Models have an awesome array of new releases for the Batman Miniature Game this month. Head back to 1997 and the Batman & Robin movie with the dynamic duo themselves and two of their fiendish enemies from the film.
Batman & Robin 1997 // Knight Models
Leading the way, we have two awesome miniatures for Batman & Robin. The Caped Crusade properly looks like George Clooney which is wild considering that you're just seeing his chin. For some reason, it just works. I love the icy basing for the miniatures and the stances that they are in as well. They look like they're right in the heart of the action, getting ready to stick it to some goons.
I also like that the Batman suit comes with bonus nipple power and I have to assume that Robin's behind is just as pert as it is in the movie. A great pair of miniatures to throw into the mix for your Batman games.
"Ice To Meet You!"
Going up against Batman & Robin, we have a set that features Poison Ivy & Mr. Freeze.

Once again, I think the likenesses here for both Uma Thurman and Arnold Schwarzenegger are on point and they are very much giving off the vibe of their characters from the movie. Two awesome miniatures alongside two scenic bases which suit the kind of environments they would be fighting in.
I really like the old Animated Series Batman range that Knight Models used to do but these 1990s movie versions of the characters are properly ticking a lot of boxes, as bad as some of the films were.
Zoom!
As well as those amazing miniatures, we also got a new Kid Flash miniature from Knight Models.
Kid Flash "Wally West" // Knight Models
Wally West is zooming into the midst of the fighting and has an awesome miniature that represents that moment, captured in time. I really like the pose and the smoke flowing from his shoes as he comes to a stop. You get a real sense of motion with Kid Flash and he should be a good addition to your DC and Batman collection.
Will you be getting your hands on these new miniatures for the Batman Miniature Game and beyond?

That model, certainly with that costume colour/paint job, reminds me of the more recent incarnation of Wally West, not so much him as Kid Flash of the Teen Titans.
I can’t follow the continuity of the comics any more, reading in the time just prior to “Crisis on Infinite Earths”, all of the changes DC made since just haven’t worked for me. Hopefully they did/do work for others.
Gets even wilder now that not only is Wally back in his Flash costume, but his wife & kids are back, Bart is back to being Impulse, Wallace “Ace” West is Kid Flash, oh, and they’ve just introduced Jay Garricks never-before mentioned, lost in time & wiped from memory teenage daughter Judy. Flash family antics are WILD man… Surprisingly though the book has been very entertaining for the last few years as it gets more & more nuts.
Recently ordered the Jay Garric Flash mini-series
My first DC Comics love is the JSA/Infinity Inc. I’ll wait on the collection of the later by the day new new new JSA series and if my friend likes it – Geoff Johns is pretty hit and miss for me.
Yeah Batman nipples!
The Batman minis capture the look from the movie really well.
I’m Batyman.
Bad movie but memorable versions of the characters. Can’t fault Knight Models sculpting capturing them so well.
Only thing missing is Batgirl, they can move from that movie then. Nothing else needs to be acknowledged as a mini.
