Comic Book Resource has an article on DC's wrestling inspired "Lucha Explosiva!" figure line. The new toy line from DC Collectibles reimagines comic heroes and villains as lucha libre superstars. The first wave of these will include Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman along with villains like Deathstroke , Metallo II, and Cheetah. Each 7-inch figure will come with a back story to explain where they fit into DC's newly created lucha world.

"DC Collectibles is always striving to bring fans imaginative new ways to extend and celebrate DC's most iconic characters," DC Collectibles Executive Creative Director Jim Fletcher said. "DC ¡Lucha Explosiva! is a passion project for us. We're all huge fans of Lucha Libre, and merging Mexican Luchadores with superheroes seemed like a perfect fit. Besides obvious similarities like masks, capes and secret identities, we also think there is a huge crossover between fan bases."

The figures will go on sale this August.
