They are going with the theme of the names because its not directly based on Dark Knight Returns (the idea is similar that its an old batman but its not based on the comic itself), Mezco is doing 3 batman figures in this "knight" series and they are supposed to be their take ona progressionof the character, the first being Accending Knight Batman (he is their take on year one batman when he fist started, a young bruce with a more simple design of costume along with the very caractheristic really long earedcowl), the second one is the Sovreign Knight Batman (that one is basically Batman at the height of his career) and this third one Supreme Knight Batman is basically bruce once he is old, the design of the three figures is suposed to be a direct progression of his time as batman and the suit is suposed to reflect it as well, but its basically Mezco's take on Batman on his three levels of his career, since its loosely based on the idea of TDKR I dont think they wanted to call it that but rather just reference it design wise.
What's an equalizer cannon?
I like how this figure looks, it reminds me of the Dark Knight returns batman. I wonder what mezco in store for Batman next once this figure is released.

Because they already made Dark Knight Returns Batman figure, it would only creat confusion, and its their own unique spin on older Batman

The suit looks dope! It looks like the same material they used on the Spec Ops Punisher, just with a lot more printed pleather areas. I know people are expecting the PX and MDX versions to just be colorways of this figure, but I'm hoping they go the route they did with their Cyclops and Cable and give us some totally different designs.
It'd still be cool to get an all black version andan armored up PX version would be really cool!
It might just be the suit, but it looks like they used a new buck here. a little bit bulkier. I love it! I'm in again for all variations of this one. This trilogy of figures was a great idea, I'm glad Mezco did it.
If anyone just skips over the accessories lists, you may have missed that there are TWO(!) capes for this figure! Held on with a magnet attachment and one will have posable wire. Finally, posable wire! If they needed to tack on $5 in order to add that cape feature, I'm totally fine with it. It's about time Mezco started doing wire capes, basically the first thing everyone does after getting a Mezco with a cape is go on eBay to buy a wired cape to replace the one that came with the figure.
They also must have changed their minds on the design of the cowl or there was an alternate head that they're leaving out for the standard version because the long eared cowl headsculpt they teased with the first image of this figure isn't present here.
I'm glad they actually gave us a new Bruce Wayne unmasked head instead of just adding more gray to the hair of their other headsculpt they've given us multiple times already.
Im all in, already have both previous versions and have been waiting for the third one to be announced, it looks really nice though I have to say compared to the other 2 versions this one's accesories seem a little lacking I was expecting a little more than just big batrangs and a gun, still I already preordered mine, hopefully they dont delay this figure too long it seems like Mezco always has a lot of delays with their figure release dates.
The cowl is phenomenal.
Mezcos One:12 Batman trilogy concludes with Batman: Supreme Knight. This is Batman towards the final years of his campaign against the underworld of Gotham City.Supreme Knight depicts an older Bruce Wayne who has learned his way and honed his skills. Now at the twilight of his war on crime, he uses his skill and tech to maintain his edge.Supreme Knights Bat-Suit provides additional armored protection enhancements to compensate for the wear and tear that his years of crime fighting have taken on him. A magnet in his collar allows him to switch between two leather-like capes one with an integrated posing wire and one that drapes freely. He employs an upgraded, more aggressive arsenal including a dual-blade karambit that folds, a multifunctional, non-lethal Equalizer cannon, and more.The combination of the enhanced Bat-Suit along with the upgrades to his arsenal keep Supreme Knight the most feared amongst the Gotham City underworld as he continues to wage his one-man war.
