“Kingdom Hearts” creator Tetsuya Nomura helped DC re-imagine one of its iconic characters in honor of New York Comic Con 2014.
DC Entertainment unveiled Nomura’s Batman figure during San Diego Comic Con 2014, but this time it’s Catwoman’s turn to look badass. Nomura changed up Catwoman’s mask to resemble a helmet and claws to resemble knives.
The figure will be sold under the title Variant Play Arts Kai series and showcased at NYCC 2014. It’s unclear if the SDCC 2014 Batman figure will be showcased at the conference this weekend, but there will be plenty of DC Entertainment events.
Check out the list below for information regarding DC exhibits and panels. For more information regarding DC Entertainment at NYCC 2014, visit the official website here.
