In Ft. Wayne Indiana this weekend for the Alliance/Diamond
Open House. So far, the presentation from NECA/WizKids, detailing their plans for the Batman: No Man’s Land six
part storyline tournament starting in November and running through next
May has really caught my attention. This tournament leaves behind the
cosmic orientation of the Infinity Gauntlet, brining play down to earth with
Batman’s Utility Belt as the focus of game play, with players receiving a
different component of the belt each month and Limited Edition figures keyed to
the No Mans Land storyline. First month
is Lockup, then Batgirl, Ultimate Clayface, Poison Ivy ( fantastic sculpt, by
the way), Killer Croc and finally the Joker and Harley Quinn (of course), with
the big prize a model of the Batcave, complete with Alfred bearing medical
supplies.
The addition of gangs adds a twist to the tournament. Each player declares their allegiance to one
of the games vying for control of Gotham City during the tournament. The top four members of the gang controlling
most of Gotham at the end of the tournament each receive a Penguin LE figure,
meaning that, even if you are not one of the top players in each month’s game,
you still have a good chance of walking away with a cool prize by affiliating
with the winning gang.
