You sure about that? I mean personal preference an all that but hdz did the same thing first, and with iconic posters to boot, not just static cut and paste character shots.I think among all artworks from premium retailers best is from MantaLAB and it's most consistent also. Always different character which is main to that particular movie.
Truly flabbergasted there are still no pics of the TDK OC.

Unless manta pull off something awesome for the rears, I expect I'll actually prefer the blufans steels over their's tbh.

I'd say manta's are probably too similar in that regard. They're essentially mirror images of one another, cropped to match, which isn't typical of theatrical posters for different films.I'm sure.
Characters are all facing front and in same direction and also background is placed for all same. HDZ all have smh added - BB bats, TDKR helmet and Bane is showing his back...
Sure everyone has their own opinion but i really think if you put them all alongside as triology Manta steels are most consistent ones.
I'm just curious with what they'll come along as their OC's and othe stuff.
The only thing i do know is that i won't be able to put them in HDZ motherbox, unlike Blufans OC's which fits perfectly in HDZ motherbox.

HDZ have used 3 iconic theatrical posters for each film, which happen to centre around the main protagonist. Manta have used character posters, which just don't compare imo.
They're both consistent in that respect, but I get what you mean and that manta's are evidently more to your taste.
Interesting that the blufans OCs fit in the hdz motherbox, but no, mantas OCs are a different size. I am Interested what designs they'll come up with for the rest of their set, as there's very little art that hasn't already been used now, twice lol
Wouldn't Joker and Bane be the ANtagonist not the PROtagonist?HDZ have used 3 iconic theatrical posters for each film, which happen to centre around the main protagonist. Manta have used character posters, which just don't compare imo.
Wtf! This is my favourite group of steels/ artworks for the films anyway regardless of TDK not matching but you’ve just blown my mind!I've made this point before but I've made this diagram to illustrate my point better. Individually I think the artwork choices are stunning but as a whole the trilogy is really well designed. The composition, eye line, posing and posture of the bat point toward the centre to make a really strong, symmetrical layout. One that draws your eyes into the middle. Maybe I'm reaching here but it almost looks like a bat symbol in itself. You don't have to like Blufans choices but it's unfair to say that they don't work well together just because they're not 3 variants of the same poster. View attachment 544094
Yes lol but you know what i meant. Each film focuses mainly on the 3 characters appearing on the steels. They're all Batman films, but TDK and TDKR are far more wrapped up in Joker and Bane then they are Batman.Wouldn't Joker and Bane be the ANtagonist not the PROtagonist?
