Tim Burton’s movie spin on the story of fan-favorite Batman released in 1989 is iconic to a generation of Dark Knight fans. It starred Michael Keaton as the multimillionaire Bruce Wayne, who has transformed himself into the crime-fighting Batman after witnessing his parents’ brutal murder as a child.

The Dark Knight Collection is notable for setting numerous standards in the Batman action figure world, such as the basic five points of articulation, "Deluxe" figures, and coinciding roleplay accessories. Perhaps the most notable, however, would be the variant concept, which continues to this day in perhaps a more drastic manner. Every Batman figure was simply a retooled version of the popular design used in 1984's Super Powers Collection and would again be used for the following movie line in 1992. In fact, repainted versions of the SPC sculpt can be spotted in some early catalog photos. This is perhaps one of its only major downfalls; out of about twenty figures, only two Jokers were produced, with the rest being variations of Batman. And while the line featured many new vehicle designs, some were actually retools from previous Kenner lines like RoboCop and the Ultra Police and SilverHawks.

A second wave of Toy BizDC action figures would then yield comic fans a Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, Hawkman and a Two-Face, but that will be an article for another time.
