Okay.. I need three questions, again, if yours has not been answered, then re-submit it. Try to make it a long question so maybe we can get a more detailed response.

will we get Attack Armor Batman in the states? if not, will you release a similar product to the batman shown at SDCC '05, a figure with Batsignal's upper body and AA's lower body and hands. also, will we ever see the bases from SDCC '05 released in retail or as a mail in exclusive?
(this sentence isnt part of the question) it think that's a long enough question?

1: I've asked this a so often you're all probably getting anoyed, and I doubt I'll get lucky this time, but just for the heck of it; any plans for a new sculpt for The Joker? Perhaps one displaying more physical prowess than the last one? And perhaps in differant clothes? Like a purple business suit to fit more in line with TDK, or a trenchcoat like the iconic '80s depictions? (It could come in handy for a Joker/Harley 2-pack with that new Harely Quinn y'all are making)
2: Regarding The Dark Knight's 6" figure line, it has been stated that there are going to be six characters... 3 heroes, 3 villians. Is that the count of actual figures, I.E. Begins suit Batman and TDK suit Batman would count as two characters, or is that the count of actual characters, meaning variants count seperately.
3: Still no plans on a more wide-spread release of Barbara Gordon Batgirl?
* To expand on the question, like Tom-Tom said, perhaps a black variant like her first apearance?
P.S. After getting the answer from my last question I see that you are indeed listening to the fans, something I've been digging at y'all over for a while... Sorry guys.

thank you Mr. Chris. you never know anyway. hey, razhwurz, there could be a black version of it (i.e., her first appearance). and dont worry about annoying other people, ive probably asked the AA question so much, someone's head is gonna explode.

A while ago, there was a fan-made conceptual "Build a Figure" (as currently used in the Marvel line) featured in a magazine, based on the Sentinels shown in Kingdom Come. Are there any plans to do a Build-A-Figure with the DCU line? Could the Sentinel be one of those?
Have you considered doing a line of 3" trading figures?

Spencer, part of this can be answered.. Each wave will have a "build-a-figure" Wave one is Metamorpho, second wave is Gorilla Grodd.

3" Trading figures? Do you mean like the hero clix sort of thing? Didn't they unveil something like that at comic-con?

Thanks, Chris - I missed that news.
Razhwurz - no, bigger than the HeroClix...like the Japanese figures or what McFarlane does. The HeroClix are about half that size, without as much detail.

got a few more:
will we see something similar to the clear flying stands that toybiz had included with numerous marvel legends, perhaps with a grip around the waist rather than a hole in the back?
if there is a DCUC version of brandon routh superman, would it be a scale down of the 14" movie version with fisted hands?
will hard to find figures such as steel, lex luthor, brainiac, supergirl, batgirl (both versions), etc. be released under DCUC?
if batgirl is rereleased, would if still be gray and blue, or the black and blue first appearance version?
will we see civilian figures, ala snapper carr, lois lane, jimgordon and perry white?
a question that's on every collector's minds, is DCUC a seperate line from DCSH, or is the name simply changing?

Mattel will not do story specific charcaters. DC Direct does and already did these in Superman / Batman: Series 4 Vengeance, Batwoman and Superwoman

Well, Ed, to answer another of your questions; It's already been stated that Robin & Wonder Woman will be added to future waves of DCUC... And Jason Roach Firestorm will be released in the second wave.
Now I know you want to see a lot of figures, but generally if you give a list of characters as a question you'll get a very unspecific answer.
To avoid further confusion, here's a list of characters already confirmed for DCUC:
Series 1:
Batman (70s)
Penguin (and a chase variant with a robot penguin)
Red Tornado
Red Tornado Classic (variant)
Orion
Etrigan
Metamorpho(Build-a-figure)
Series 2:
Firestorm
Firestorm Classic (variant)
Red Superman
Blue Superman
Harley Quinn
Blackmanta
Aquaman
Aquman Modern (variant)
Gorilla Grodd (Build-a-figure)
Future:
Nightwing
Robin
Wonder Woman
I can't seem to recall where I heard about the last 3...

He's talking about the DC SUPERFRIENDS. The kiddie line.. But you are right Razhwurz, Mattel won't give us the answers like that.
And as for Story related. Mattel is allowed to now. they have the right to do anything they want to. The only exception is the Charlton Characters, Blue Beetle, The Question and so forth.

So Mattel will not say whether or not there will be either a GL Hal Jordan or Wonder Woman for the Super Friends line?
