DC Collectibles Animated Batman 'Tales of the Dark Knight' Set Coming Soon!

Recent posts about my classic Batman Animated action figures got me searching online for info and checklists and stuff, and in my searching I discovered this DC Collectibles Animated Batman Tales of the Dark Knight three figure set due out October 2016!

Based on the 'What If' episode of Batman the Animated Series (or perhaps it happened during the re-branded TNBA era) this set includes a Frank Miller inspired Batman, Mutant Leader and Carrie Kelley Robin! I have a pretty nice collection of Robins, but not one single version of Carrie Kelley, and that is one badass looking Batman right there! I really want his set (or at least Batman and Robin) but at $70...well at least this set is being released before my birthday, so perhaps I can convince my someone to get it for me as a birthday present!

Carrie Kelley in DC's New 52 Continuity!

SPOILERS on recent Batman comics events below, so read with caution...


'The Dark Knight Returns' Carrie Kelley will be making her DC 'in continuity' debut next week, April 10th, with the release of Batman and Red Robin #10.

Hot off the heels of the death of Damian Wayne, DC is set to introduce Frank Miller's spunky female future Robin Carrie Kelley to the DC proper. How she'll interact with the bat family and whether or not she'll actually take up the mantle of the bird for real or not waits to be seen, but I'm damn sure grabbing this issue (already called my LCS to hold one for me!) because who doesn't love Carrie Kelley Robin?


Will Kelley be around a while, or is this a 'one-shot' sales gimmick? According to writer Peter Tomasi:

“What you’ll find out once you crack the book, is that she’s not exactly the ‘new Robin,’ but I don’t want to spoil the story and her introduction into Bruce Wayne/Batman’s life,”

“In regards to how long she’ll be around, let’s just say that it’s a helluva lot longer than ‘one issue.’ I’ve got plans for Carrie that play well into the future.”
