Card Art Based off of the Batman Forever figures, this bootleg offers something most other mini-figure sets don't....ACTION!

The card art (printed on one side only) is all original, but easily recognizable as Batman and his foes. The Bathero Play Set titles are done in a bubble-font that looks pretty cheezy.

Inculded are four pre-posed mini-figures:

Riddler and Two-Face are painted very close to their movie color-shemes. Robin lacks his mask and in done in blue and black. Batman is bright yellow with black gloves and cowl, and red bat-symbols.
Note the really goofy pose Batman is in!

Each figure has a peg-hole in one foot to allow the figure to be mounted on the included battle-platform. Graphic instructions on how to use the stand are printed in the center of the card. The following close-up has the batman and riddler heads inset to show just how bad the paint detailing is.

Diagram Close up
In terms of play-value, this is the best Batman Bootleg I've seen. It ranks all the way up there with the Star King line for action.

The sorry painting on the figures, along with the goofy poses, helps make this a four star bootleg.
