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 Public Enemies wave wasn't something I was terribly excited about when it was first revealed. I wanted Brimstone as soon as I saw him, and still do, but I wasn't that interested in the stylized DC Classics figures that stood between me and the Engine of Destruction. Now that I've had them in hand for a day, my opinions have shifted a bit and I might be able to find some room on my shelves for a few of the figures, particularly if it's the only version they're ever going to receive.
