I know you...we had Geography together!....

He looks cool. Robin not as much. Kinda surprised everybody has come around on Robin just because they saw Batman.

Naw, ideally Robin would be improved as people have requested.

First HT purchase in 6 years.

These probably won't go up for preorder for another 2 years so expect to extend that

Forever Batmobile would be so cool but I think we all know there's no chance of that happening. Would love to be proven wrong of course. Then we'd absolutely need the panther suit.

Who knows, maybe the tanking SW ST merchandise and no more Iron Man in the MCU will allow them to go deeper into lines like this.

One can only hope. But it won't be helped by Hot Toys now digging into 1/12 scale aswell so they can remake every Iron Man figure all over again.

We’re lucky to have gotten the ‘89 Batmobile. Would have never happened today.

Yep. As for the Forever Batmobile, ridiculous but highly nostalgic. Still, I think I'd have to pass if they made it (which obviously they won't) due to my not living in a Bruce Wayne mansion.

True.

I always felt when Tom Cruise said "You complete me" that the relationship was instantly doomed.

That film originated that line right? I mean it's a line that no one can get away with using anymore.

Seeing this version of Kilmer in 1/6 form really showcases how similar the Batman Begins suit was/is to the Sonar.

This was the first suit to really be techy armor with the large bat symbol (no yellow oval) and functioning cape clips.

The one proper non-gimmicky (for the most part) Batman figure I had as a child was I believe Kenner's recreation of this suit. Although it did have some kind of shoulder mounted gun thing that would fold down and pop up at the press of a button.

This will look fantastic next to DX08 and Returns Batman.

I was serious tho.

Both Keaton and Kilmer had the most distinctive lips of all the Batman. I actually thought Kilmer was a good choice because he had a similar lower face to Keaton, when wearing the cowl.

That’s why it was funny going to Clooney. His lower face didn’t continue that tradition well.

Right, Tom Hardy would be a worthy successor if they made a new film in that universe.

MoS could make for a very intimidating Batman...

Awesome!!!!


Now the question is..will they actually go up for PO?

I don't think I need this. It's very tempting but I'd pair Robin with my Keaton batman along with all of the villains too.

I just realized this wasn't the panther suit. Idk I might need to see that one

Isn't the sonar suit the more distinctive of the two? The panther suit is sort of the basic updated black suit, right? The sonar suit has that silvery sheen to it. Plus you'll certainly get the sonar eyes.

Yea I'm on the Sonar Suit > Panther suit side. I see the Sonar suit and it brings me back to everything about this movie and 1995. I especially love the huge bat symbol across the chest.

Of course, HT will PO one (Batman) and never the other (Robin).

Will these ever make it to pre-order or will they go the way of the Romero Joker and just end up in Howard's office?

Exactly! Personally I wouldn't get to happy until I actually see these on pre-order. We're still waiting on Arkham Batgirl to
go on pre-order and its been over a year.

Missed these

Robin's reveal was good, his was better.

I think you deserve a kiss by a rose for that one

Good stuff chaps

Was it this suit or Clooney's that Christian Bale tested in for Batman Begins?

Re: Hot Toys Batman Forever 1/6th scale Batman (Sonar Suit) Collectible figure

It was Kilmer's panther suit.

 

[franpincho]

Re: Hot Toys Batman Forever 1/6th scale Batman (Sonar Suit) Collectible figure

Was Kilmer ever "cowl-less" while wearing this suit in the movie? (I truly don't remember).

Is there a chance of an unmasked HS?

Re: Hot Toys Batman Forever 1/6th scale Batman (Sonar Suit) Collectible figure

Think they’ve made the suit far too bulky.
It’s like a mix between the begins suit and the forever suit.

Still really happy they showed this

Remember when this movie was garbage? I do.

 

[Captain Clown]

Removed "speculation" from the title. So glad to see an actual prototype.

 

[DasMuse]

100% down for this guy and Robin. I'm hoping for the black suit with the bat-nipples too, honestly.
