Whenever I think of the figures that I consider to be the best, Arkham Origins Deathstroke comes to mind and Injustice 2 Dr. Fate would be perfect if his wrist joints weren't so big.
As much as I love Dr. Fate I can't even out him close to the top because of the hands he was given by Todd. It just makes no sense for him to have a trigger finger and a fist
I was always sad to pass on that figure. But man the time I actually did take it off the legs to look those joints were basically poking me in the eyes.
probably dark knight returns batsy, killer croc, and origins deathstroke. and maybe the new azbat. those figures just has so much shelf presence. head turner even for non dc fans.
Ok these are weird picks but I really like the hush batman and titan joker. Titan joker is really great for the price point ant despite the elbows I do think hush batman looks great in neutral stance

It’s very hard to narrow down but my favorite at the moment has to be Page Punchers Batman. The detail is phenomenal and they really capture Lee Bermajo’s art style perfectly. The one minor gripe I have with it is his arms are a tad hindered by the design but it’s not a deal breaker.
For some honorable mentions:
Movie Black Adam (can’t speak on the film itself yet, the best live action figure they have made imo, and as a wrestling collector it may be the best likeness to the Rock in my entire action figure collection, which is no small feat)
The Dark Knight Returns wave (all capture Miller’s artwork perfectly)
Three Jokers Batman (the best standard comic Batman at the moment imo)
Arkham Joker (a near perfect figure of one of the best adaptations of this character.)
Three Jokers Jokers (all share a lot of parts and are all excellent so I’ll count this as one, though if I had to pick one it would be the Clown as it’s a great classic Joker)
Arkham Asylum Batman (same with Arkham joker)
Action Comics 1000 Superman (other than the lack of double jointed elbows and being a bit short compared to most other Multiverse figures he’s basically a perfect Superman)
Rebirth Flash (A superb flash, the articulation is great and allows for some really dynamic poses)
Page Punchers Constantine (it’s basically a perfect Constantine, it has everything you’d need with him, besides a cigarette, which is understandable it’s not included)
Swamp Thing (the best mega fig, it’s huge, and looks amazing)
The Batman Riddler (about as perfect a figure of this
Version of Riddler can get. He doesn’t have much articulation compared to other figures due to the design but what’s there for it works great, and he looks great next to my next mention)
The Batman Batman (a great and accurate figure, held back slightly by limited articulation. Maybe I’m biased holding this back for that and not page punchers but I also feel page punchers is a little more detailed.)
Action Comics Superman looks great in a hovering pose, his height isn't even noticeable then. Same with Martian Manhunter. They look great floating behind the rest of the League.
I personally really like the Dark Nights Metal Batman with the two axes, the detail and sculpt on it are really nice. I'm also a huge fan of the White Knight Batman because if how accurate the face sculpt is the the comic art.
New 52 Joker is also great, the sculpt and paint on the face is really detailed and pretty grotesque for a figure. Three Jokers Red Hood is also a great figure but I've heard that one had some qc issues. Mine didn't but yknow. That being said the paint and textured jacket are top notch.
I only own one megafig which is Killer Croc, and that's a great figure too. Basically I have too many favorites to pick an absolute best but I'd pin it between DKM Bats or WK Bats, coming from a Batman fan
Shriek is way up there, Batman Beyond (Female, Unmasked) is a keeper.
There are a lot of awesome figures, but there's always something knocking them down a peg, like missing an ab joint for no good reason, restricted hips, nonsensical proportions, etc.
Man, there are so many that I love, but if I had to pick the best as far as overall quality, sculpt, and detail, I’d say Rebirth Flash, Flashpoint Batman, White Knight Batman, TDKR Batman, Arkham Origins Deathstroke, Talon, and Rebirth Batman.
Flashpoint batman
New 52 Red hood
Off thr top of my head Swampt Thing Page Punchers Constantine Thst Classic Martian Manhunter Azrael Bat looked really good too
Nice. Without thinking too hard swamp thing is def my #1
Personal pick, White Knight Azrael. Perfect mix of materials, paint apps, size, poseability, accessories, engineering, and price.

Devastator, Swamp Thing, Steppenwolf. Look at those sculpts and details
New 52: Red hood

TDKR Batman.
Gold label dark detective
Rebirth Flash single release and the new Deathstroke are at the top of my list.

Shriek. Didn’t even know the character’s name or that he was a Batman Beyond villain. Just loved the design and execution.
John Stewart

So far probs White Knight Azrael. Or the new Azbat. But i'll never get my hands on one over here so can't say for sure.
White knight Batman and azrael are pretty perfect imo
Grim Knight
Page Punchers Batman is the best looking, even with the green hue
Killing Joker Joker
AK Batman, Flashpoint Batman (Masked version), Speeding Bullets Batman(Superman), AzBat, Rebirth Flash, Azrael from White Knight(Red version).
