Oh, the character selection for DCIH was phenomenal. There's no disputing that. Any line that offered the Big Five along with Weather Wizard, Hush, Raven, THAT version of OMAC, The Monitor, Rosie Wilson, and a GCPD SWAT dude is okay in my book. I think the problem was, like Princess Amethyst said, the terrible sculpting. I'm gonna expand that to say the whole line.
Really, these dudes looked like Happy Meal toys McDonald's would'a tried hawking in 1998 or something. Heck, the Movie Power Rangers McDonald's released are actually sculpted BETTER than DCIH's Bean-Head Joker, Drag Queen Wonder Woman, and Hamburger-Handed Gordon. I know it's hard to sculpt on this scale and all, but...well, I can't think of a reason why figures like Hush, Atom, Flash, and Mirror Master looked decent and others looked like Nuke'em High mutants.
I think the line would've fared a little better if the price point was lower, and the selection was a bit less Alexander Luthor / Black Hand right out of the gate.
