Description I don't know who on earth hasn't seen the end of The Dark Knight Rises, but here's a possible spoiler warning to those out there--whoever you may be--who haven't seen the movie yet.

The movie left open the possibility that John Blake would assume the mantle of Batman following Bruce Wayne's "death" (faked so he could live anonymously with Catwoman), especially after leaving Blake GPS coordinates to the Batcave. Now, Joseph Gordon-Levitt has said there is no intention to do a spin off movie with the Blake character as Batman (there has been talk tho of a Nolan directed Catwoman spin off with Anne Hathaway) but it is unique to think that something could potentially happen if Blake had taken up the cowl.

The picture is the result of a late night epiphany, realizing I hadn't seen many people do a head swap like this...I'd taken the Bruce Wayne head from the prototype ninja suit and put that on a spare Batman for an unmasked Batman, but that left the body of the ninja suit in the fodder pile. til the moment this epiphany hit. I didn't think head would fit the peg but surprisingly it did, albeit a little looser than I'd like it to be. I haven't seen Batman Begins in a while so I don't know the limits of the prototype suit but it looks like something that Blake would wear, much like the tech suit Terry McGinnis wore.

I wanted to convey the hesitation on Blake's part into taking on this role. Alfred takes the Old Bruce role in this one, equally hesitant to let Blake become the Batman but encouraging where he can, reminding Blake that "men fall...so they can pick themselves back up again".

Awesome photo! The lighting really matches the imagery seen in the Nolan Batman films. I have actually written a synopsis for a comic that tells the story of John Blake as the new Batman but due to the lack of the right Batman figure I haven't done anything with the concept. However ToyFair 2013 just happened in New York and I saw a photo of the perfect figure so I might actually at least write the script.

A new Batman Beyond action figure in the Batman Unlimited toyline. It has a different head from the DC Universe Classics, wings and different paint finish.
