So other than the Iron Man 1/4s (from Legacy no less), it looks like SS had a taste of competition from GG and didn't like the process.

Hmmm you might be right

But if these characters are still selling well, why would Sideshow do any different?

Look at the difference between them. Batman comic PF EX sold out in days, Batman Keaton PF just hit Low quantity on the EX. Superman Comic PF Ex sould out in Weeks, The Reeve PF and Cavil PF(admittedly they have their issues as well) had issues selling through the EX. The more of a single character you put on the market at the same time, the harder it is to sell each new incarnation. So why would you release another Batman PF right now when you still have Comic and Keaton regs readily available? Same thing for any other character.

I actually don't have a problem with them releasing the same character but in different themes (ie: Comic and Movie Based) when they start releasing a Planet Hulk then a King Hulk in the same pose then its gets a bit tedious. I actually think that for the Keaton Batman, there has been a massive interest but most likely a high majority of collectors will pick it up locally due to not being too bothered about the EX hence why its only just hit LQ. As for the Reeve PF, well I strongly believe that this PF would have got a heck of a lot more interest if not for the chosen pose or as some have said, the dodgy portrait of Reeve. There's a number of big Reeve fans out there that have been waiting for a Superman PF but were left disappointed
As for Iron Man...well if Sideshow stopped making every character and just made movie Iron Man statues then it would feel like I'd died and gone to heaven!!!!!
As far as I'm concerned, not enough Iron Man statues have been made

Arkham PFs - well I don't speculate, I only go by info SS has released, so the last word I read is that they are still coming, which is why when I made that list it was full of items that were confirmed to be cancelled (Extremis Iron Man, Mara Jade) confirmed to be on hiatus (Cable PF), or just delayed with no confirmation of status (Wolverine vs Hulk Dio).
It's just been almost a year since they announced the Arkham license and absolutely nothing has been shown except that original banner for the announcement, along with ASM2 during their 12 days of Sideshow Christmas event. SS needs to stop doing announcements like that altogether. When the big reveal of the day is a license that won't have products for over a year or never at all (exactly half of the list), it's a waste: 12 Days of Sideshow 2013 | Sideshow Collectibles.
As far as what they're waiting for, I don't know, but they had/have 3 Superman PFs up (shipping and POs included) at the same time so I'm not so sure they're waiting for the Keaton to ship. I get what your saying about market saturation, but part of market saturation is available substitutions. For anybody like me, even with 3 Batman PFs the market isn't saturated because 2 of the PFs aren't equal substitutions for the comic version, because my main interest is comic PFs. I'm interested in the Arkahm, but it's no substitute. The DC movie PFs to me aren't even considerable, I ignore that segment of the market completely. Now stepping outside of myself, there's poeple who want movie and no comic, or want the game version only. Not much different than SS currently having 3 Superman PFs available. Same character, but having different versions will segment the market. If they were all comic versions, then there'd be more probability of stuartion due to the amount of avilable substitutions and abundance of items produced (in this case, high ES).
Could be some other reason, like they're just taking a long time like they do for any other statue.
Movie yes, but comic no. A lot of people are down for a comic Iron Man PF based on a modern armor.
Even for movie statues, SS doesn't have that many...yet, lol. At least they're looking to do just 1 version of each major armor. Compare that to the amount of figures Hot Toys has done, including battle damaged versions and do overs. Now that's a lot!

Some dude on SF said we might get a Spidey. (Can't think of another Peter). So that's pretty interesting. Naturally I take It with a pinch of salt but he has been 4/4 so far with 12 days.
