The Fighting 1:18th! The best Military 1:18 scale site on the net!
Welcome to today’s edition of the Eye for Detail. Today the Eye looks to Fighting 118th member Fritzkrieg and his Batman Knightfall Azbat custom figure.
To be honest I had known very little about the Azbat so I decided to use google.
Azrael (Azbat) from Wikipedia. – The character first appeared in the series Batman: Sword of Azrael, as Jean-Paul Valley, in 1992. He then became a supporting character in the monthly Batman titles, eventually taking over the role of Batman through the “Knightfall”, “Knightquest”, and “KnightsEnd” story arcs. Writer/co-creator Denny O’Neil admitted to difficulty with Azrael’s transition from villain to hero: “If I’d known he was to become a monthly character, I might have set him up differently … The problem is that I had to turn a bad guy into a real hero, not just an anti-hero or lead. It’s possible to do that, but it’s difficult to retain the original characterization. You almost have to change his personality.”
