DC Collectibles recently posted an interview with the Executive Producer of the upcoming Infinite Crisis video game, Jeffrey Steefel, about the game, its character designs, and the merchandise… but more importantly the interview also gave us a look at Mecha Wonder Woman and a Renaissance-themed Batman.

Although we’ve seen a few of DCC’s Infinite Crisis figures so far (including a neat Harley Quinn in PJs and a Poison Ivy), Mecha Wonder Woman is hands down my favorite design thus far. It’s one of those ideas that seems so unbelievably goofy yet actually looks incredible, like a futuristic marble sculpture.While the skeletal hands seem a bit much, the overall design is fairly stunning. The figure will apparently come with a chakram (feeling some shades of Xena right now) and a giant sword which can be stored on her back.

On the other side of things we have a Renaissance Batman. Given how many alternate versions of Batman we’ve seen over the years, including the silliness seen in the limited series Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne where (among other things) Bruce was briefly a caveman, a Renaissance-themed Batman isn’t really surprising. The costume is goofy as hell, though, sporting wings that look borrowed like a DaVinci concept and armed with what appear to be air horns (which is hilariously awesome enough to ratchet up the overall appeal of the design).

No word as of yet to when these figures will release, but expect to see them in DC Collectibles’ solicits eventually. Be sure to check out the additional images in gallery.
