So I guess this is DC's response to Marvel Legends... They're gonna need to do way better than this to compete with ToyBiz... They even come with a comic book... HAHAHAHA!!!

It's not that the design of these figures suck. Cuz it's right on the money. Problem is, the original incarnation of the characters looks kinda lame. I know it was cool back then, but now it's just...cheesy in some ways.
