Editor's Note:After IAT disrespected Batman by not granting him a review, Wayne Enterprises completed a hostile takeover of It'sAllTrue.Net (We're not sure why either!). This caused some articles, including this one, to be coerced out of our staff. A few days later, a federal judge threw out the acquisition based on Bruce Wayne's inability to appear and the site reverted to its proper owners.
In my time as Gotham City's top citizen, I've had plenty of experience reading about Batman's battles with the more superstitious and cowardly among us. It appears that this blog spends it's Friday's talking about the Most Requested Figures, but what about least requested? I've asked my childhood friend that I've never mentioned previously, Ebonhorn, to come and showcase ten Batman villains that no one is asking for...

Third in our four part series on DCUC10, this review covers Joker, Forager, and Batman.
There's always a broad spectrum of feelings when reviewing a DC Classics wave. There are the figures you wanted and the figures you didn't know you wanted. There are the highlights and then there are the warped legs. And sometimes there are accessories. These figures are all of those (with a strange quality control issue thrown in).
Second in our four part series on DCUC10, this review covers Robotman and Beast Boy.
DCUC10's lineup was released (leaked?) over a period of a few months. We knew it would have Joker. We were pretty sure it would have Man-Bat. AFI let us know about Power Girl. We knew Forager was coming, but we weren't sure which wave. We guessed (correctly) that there would be a Batman. But for the last two? Well, once Mattel confirmed a 7 figure lineup, one guess was as good as any other.
The recent news from DC editorial is that Blackest Night will never end. I don’t know if you've seen this yet, but apparently this January, the main horde of Blackest Night books and their tie-ins will be taking a break. You know, because they’ve been working hard all year now, they need the rest. But don’t worry readers, because your wallet won't have to go unused. Instead of shipping the core titles and tie-ins, DC is going to resurrect a bunch of cancelled books. That’s right, no book is safe. If you stopped buying Weird Western Tales in 1977 with a complete run, then you better pick up that upcoming Previews. Not only will you not have a complete run if you don’t order it, but you’ll also never get to see how both sides of Jonah Hex’s face will match.
