Final Fantasy character designer Tetsuya Nomura re-imagines Batman

As some sort of cyber-Dracula.

Kingdom Hearts creator and Final Fantasy character designer Tetsuya Nomura has envisioned a new interpretation of Batman as part of an upcoming line of Square Enix and DC Comics-produced collectible figurines called the Variant Play Arts Kai series.

As shown above, this new interpretation is a lot less sensible than the caped crusader we're used to - with no discernible visor for Bruce Wayne to peer out of - but it arguably looks cooler. Also, is it just me, or does it look more like a futuristic Dracula than the Dark Knight?

The Nomura designed character is currently being displayed at San Diego Comic-Con, but will go on sale at a later date. It has yet to be give an official name.
