About the game
The inaugural, stand-alone release in the HeroClix Alpha line, DC HeroClix: Batman delivers a faster-paced, less rules-intensive version of the traditional HeroClix game. Booster packs of the game each include a fixed, Batman figure. The released set size of 30 figures is smaller and easier to collect than a standard release. A 31st figure is also available in certain boosters sold at Target stores, replacing one of the standard fixed Batman pieces with an exclusive sculpt. All figures in the release are iconic Batman figures previously released with new combat dials for use in DC HeroClix: Batman. Figures are compatible with the existing Heroclix game as well.
