DC Direct’s 13″ line continues with an interesting but welcomed choice, Terry McGinnis as Batman Beyond from the cartoon series of the same name. Bruce Wayne has gotten old and retired from the superhero biz, and the young McGinnis steps in to fill the shoes of Gotham’s vigilante crimebuster.

Following the disaster that was Wonder Woman, I’ve been a little skeptical about picking up DC Direct’s 13″ Deluxe Collector Figures. But, I’m a big fan of Zatanna and found it hard to pass her up.
