ACTUALLY Mark Hamill played "The Trickster" in the Flash (The Trickster is a Flash Villain, the Riddler is a Batman Villain)

Yea, that's right! Heh, I loved those type of characters in general like Trickster, Riddler and such!

I always liked the Riddler from the Adam West Batman stuff and then Mark Hammil as the Riddler in the Flash series....I know he and two face are factions and I saw Ivy in the books so to referece her in the artwork means she will be done at some point.

Mark Hammil played the Trickster in the Flash tv show.:)

Yep managed to fumble what I was thinking, I like both types of characters Trickster and Riddler was the intent!  ;D

Had a game last night and its really good fun. The poor translation caused problems with missing/misnamed rules, but the main engine worked quite well and we'd sussed it by the last few turns.

No pics as it was a rules test, but Batman won on objectives. Had Joker landed a plump gunshot in BM's back, it would have been a different story!

Knight models added a new batch of figs up including the Riddler, more goons including some Joker Clown guys, Gordon and a Swat Team and Sickle.

No stat cards yet! :'(

Not keen on the Riddler but the rest are pretty spiffy (apart from the rightmost prisoner who looks like he has overlong arms).

Eagerly awaiting comparison shots with other modern minis lines... 8)

Yea, they have a pro painter on board. They do a great job.

I see stat cards have appeared for all of them. Wow! Sickle is almost as much as Penguin.

Re: Knight Models to do a Batman game?

Christ, too expensive I'm afraid. I love the figures, and I love Batman, but screw those prices!
Something I found with these is that the Knight Models website has the rules for playing available for free download, as well as the character cards (just need to click on each character to get the links for the cards).

They are in scale with Heroclix, so wouldn't be that hard to substitute the figures.

Best pic I have found showing the HC and KM figures side by side
Looking for a set of rules that adaptable for different genres.

Those pictures are from my blog and it's worth noting that I'm deliberately using larger scale HC figures from more recent sets as they're significantly larger than earlier sculpts. You kind of need to see HC figures in person before you can know that they're right.

I'm happy to pay for the few KM sculpts that I don't have suitable HC models for - Killer Croc, Bane, Mr Freeze, Deathstroke, possibly Catwoman. However, if I can find decent alternatives in the right scale (such as using Crossover for Nightwing and Robin) the I will as the KM sculpts aren't that much better after they've been abused by my paintbrush.

Bottom line is, you can get into the KM game without breaking the bank, but it takes a little effort on your part if scale matters.
