This is what happens when Final Fantasy character designer and Kingdom Hearts boss Tetsuya Nomura gets his hands on the Caped Crusader.

Part of Square Enix's DC Comics Variant Play Arts Kai line of re-imagined figures — the first of a series designed by Nomura — this Batman is almost more of a Bahamutman, all wings and claws and sharp angles. It's certainly above and beyond any Batman I've seen. 1

Nomura's Batman (really needs a proper name) will be on display at the Square Enix booth at San Diego Comic-Con today through Sunday. Eventually they'll sell it.

lol what the hell yikes

gdt · Jul 24, 2014

He probably has belts on under all....that

Xerotwo · Jul 24, 2014

He's missing his keyblade....

luxarific · Jul 24, 2014

at least there's no feathers.

Aeana · Jul 24, 2014

I laughed out loud.

BossRush · Jul 24, 2014

Character action game starring Nomura designed batman when?

Jigolo · Jul 24, 2014

That is crazy awesome.

need a higher resolution image though

Cmerrill · Jul 24, 2014

"Bahamut" Batman.

Neiteio · Jul 24, 2014

Restraint

Y2Kev · Jul 24, 2014

I really love Nomura but that looks really dumb. I think the combination of those...arm things and that mask. I just can't.

ElectricKaibutsu · Jul 24, 2014

This must be tongue in cheek.

EdReedFan20 · Jul 24, 2014

I like everything but the claw things on the wings. The ears, for instance are fantastic, because they are actually bat-like.

DizzyCrow · Jul 24, 2014

Looks looks a Kamen Rider.

Silky · Jul 24, 2014

So Red Hood?

disappeared · Jul 24, 2014

Was not expecting that!

Xerotwo said:
He's missing his keyblade....

Same thing I was thinking.

EBE · Jul 24, 2014

i like it.

antitrop · Jul 24, 2014

Looks like a Final Fantasy summon.

James Scott · Jul 24, 2014

Looks like the Arkham Knight, which looks like the Keyblade warrior's armor

Koppai · Jul 24, 2014

Looks like a gundam or something lol. I like it though.

SoulPlaya · Jul 24, 2014

Would be alright without the stupid arm on the wings. Once again, one thing makes it too much and fucks it up.

Leafhopper · Jul 24, 2014

Traded those belts and zippers for sharp and point objects.

LUFTRAUSER · Jul 24, 2014

[THIS THING] - [ACTUAL BATMAN] = Everything wrong with Japanese character designs.

Note: that's a minus.

EmCeeGramr · Jul 24, 2014

I have to imagine that his dumb spikes keep getting caught on shit while he's gliding or grappling around.

-Horizon- · Jul 24, 2014

I can't help but want to see that in action

LAUGHTREY · Jul 24, 2014

This is a good joke.

Also hilariously succinct on how him and his games are more about trying to look cool that have any actual meaningful, or even cohesive story

abstract alien · Jul 24, 2014

Haha, that's awesome. I love when classic traditions get a different artistic interpretation. Would watch/play.

Takamura-San · Jul 24, 2014

I don't see any belts...

Where are the fucking zippers....?

Where are the belts and zippers Nomura?????

HyperBitHero · Jul 24, 2014

The arms are a bit much, but overall, I like it.

Joqu · Jul 24, 2014

That's a Nomura design all right.

I like it

Easy_D · Jul 24, 2014

Diablos?

DNAbro · Jul 24, 2014

Batman confirmed for KH3.

But honestly i love it in a it's cool as a concept but nothing else kind of way.

Kageshinzo · Jul 24, 2014

More like Bahamutman.

LuuKyK · Jul 24, 2014

The armor is cool, the wings not so much. Overall I think it looks cool if you look at it as a standalone character. lol Looks like something out of Power Rangers.

Dsyndrome · Jul 24, 2014

Reminds me of the Batman from the Knight's Quest story or the Dracula Batman Elseword.

Hours Left · Jul 24, 2014

I like the armor, but the mask, wings and (bizarre) arms... yeesh.

ArkhamFantasy · Jul 24, 2014

I like it.

Riposte · Jul 24, 2014

Plz put this in Arkham Knight.

Timeaisis · Jul 24, 2014

Where are the belts, though?

HalfwayOrb · Jul 24, 2014

Not bad.
These claws tho...

Spongebob · Jul 24, 2014

This is incredible.

Tripon · Jul 24, 2014

Yeah, that's a Nomura design.

SwiftDeath · Jul 24, 2014

Pointy

thesolidshark · Jul 24, 2014

Beaten to "BahamutMan". Looks over the top and awesome.

EmCeeGramr · Jul 24, 2014

the armor on his thighs is so thick

it's like he has metal horse legs

GamerSoul · Jul 24, 2014

my initial reaction: the fuuck?

Myths · Jul 24, 2014

Too busy for me.

Zvonimir Boban · Jul 24, 2014

Remove the ridiculous wing claw appendage thingies and that looks badass.
