There is a neat idea hiding inside these new Page Punchers releases. Put them together and you are not simply buying another Batman, Nightwing and a couple of Robins. You can actually build a small history of the Bat-family around Dick Grayson.
Batman and the original Robin take us back to Batman #1, while Nightwing jumps forward to Dick as his own hero. Tim Drake then shows how the Robin name carried on without him.
This is an early McFarlane Page Punchers Batman, Nightwing & Robin Review based on promotional images and retailer details. I have not handled the finished figures, so paint quality and final QC cannot be judged yet.

Batman Goes Right Back to the Beginning
The DC Direct Page Punchers Batman figure is based on Batman #1, and that gives McFarlane an excuse to avoid another modern black-armoured Batman.
The grey suit, blue cowl, trunks and short ears give him a proper early comic look. Even the expression feels less grim than many modern Batman figures. That suits the source material.
He comes with a Batarang, four extra hands, base, art card and comic reprint. The cloth cape should also help with posing, especially if you want something closer to an old comic panel.
At $27.99, the accessory count is sensible rather than generous. The real attraction is the design.
Nightwing Feels Like the Centre of the Set
The DC Direct Page Punchers Nightwing figure is based on Nightwing #81, giving us the familiar black and blue suit with his escrima sticks.
This is probably the figure that makes the whole group click. Dick Grayson started as Robin in 1940 and became Nightwing decades later, so having both identities represented gives the release more purpose than another isolated Nightwing.
His two sticks, extra hands and 22-point articulation should give him plenty of posing options. For an acrobatic character, that movement matters.
It also continues the comic-specific approach we have seen with the McFarlane Jay Garrick and Barry Allen Flash figures, where the comic choice is part of the reason to collect the figure.
Dick Grayson Robin Completes the Batman #1 Pair
The Dick Grayson DC Direct Page Punchers Robin figure is the release I would want beside Batman.
His bright red, green and yellow costume should create a strong contrast against Batman’s grey and blue. More importantly, the pair is based on the same comic, so they make sense together rather than feeling like two random versions.
Robin gets a Batarang and six extra hands. That is a decent selection for changing between fighting and more neutral poses.
The catch is availability. This is a Red Platinum release rather than a normal general-release figure, which could make completing the Batman and Robin pairing more annoying than it needs to be.
Tim Drake Robin Is the Wild Card
Tim Drake is also a Red Platinum release, this time based on Nightwing #81.
He gets eight extra hands, which sounds useful, but the current retailer details do not list a staff or another weapon. If that is the final accessory setup, I would have traded a couple of hands for a character-specific extra.
Still, putting Tim beside Nightwing gives you a nice visual passing of the torch. Dick moved beyond Robin, while Tim became part of the next generation.
Final Thoughts
As individual figures, none of these needs a huge accessory pile to make its case. The clever part is how they connect.
Batman and Dick Grayson Robin give you the early partnership. Nightwing shows where Dick eventually went. Tim Drake shows that Robin carried on after him.
That makes this batch far more interesting as a small Bat-family display than four unrelated releases. My main frustration is that the two Robins are the harder versions to get, because they are arguably the figures that make the idea work.
