Batman First Appearance (DC Direct) - Series 1 Rated 4.50 stars by Collector1 Bruce Wayne was a young boy in the early 1920's, son of Thomas and Martha Wayne, wealthy socialites of Gotham City. Returning home one night from a show, the family took a short cut through an ally. Then it happened. A man armed with gun appeared and demanded their money. Thomas Wayne, wanting no harm to come to his family, gladly surrender his wallet but when the mugger went for his wife, he fought back. There was a loud bang and a flash.
Thomas Wayne slumped to the ground, shot dead. Martha, her heart weak, died from shock at seeing her husband's corpse.

Now offered in molded plastic for the DC Direct Action Figure series Supeman/Batman: Public Enemies. I can't tell if Hawky here is from series 2 or series 3 as the package has both "Public Enemies 2" and "Series 3" printed on it.
Hawkman stands about 7 and 3/4 inches tall from his feet to the top of his helmet and almost 9 inches if you measure up to the top of his wings.
