Tetsuya Nomura, the man responsible for creating Kingdom Hearts as well as designing some of Final Fantasy's most iconic characters, has unveiled a new interpretation of Batman, and it's pretty eccentric.

Currently on display at San Diego Comic-Con, the new version of Batman was done to celebrate an upcoming line of Square Enix and DC Comics-produced collectible figurines, which will be sold under the title Variant Play Arts Kai series.While purists are unlikely to be convinced, it's certainly a unique take on Gotham's Dark Knight. Seeing as Disney owns Marvel rather than DC, there's no way we'll be seeing this version cropping up in a new Kingdom Hearts game any time soon but still, it's nice to get a glimpse of what might have been!
