Hot Toys DX09 - BATMAN - Batman (Michael Keaton) - Specs & Pics

[DVD1]

They are bringing a Returns out.

Dunno. I read a while ago that Returns figures would be out from Dec 2012. The only pic in the article was The Catwoman (a photo of Michelle).

I may skip the Returns suit just because I have the 89 but I would def pick up the Forever suit... I will also pass on George though... lol

 

[DVD1]

They could do a whole range based on George's Batman. Ice skate version anyone?

Is there any issues about this figure? Hows your 89 guys?

 

[DGTWoodward]

I am expecting a Batman from each movie now. Even Returns, now that I've noticed (after 20 years) that there is a different suit.
I'm just going to do a side by side of Keaton and West, as I have always thought they were the same as well.... !

I'm guessing that you are something of a BATMAN novice...yes?

 

[DVD1]

Ah, not really. I kind of grew up on Adam West as Batman, and was hyped somethung silly back in 88 / 89 waiting for the Burton / Keaton Batman movie. I just had never noticed the difference between Batman and Returns. I never watched the movies close to each other, and never owned anything from Returns except the poster. So I never did see the suits side by side.
I did recognise that the June 2013 Batmobile is from the Returns movie, and hopefuly part of the Returns wave.

Are you sure..?

Are you sure..?

Which is which ? I can't tell the difference !!!



Seriously tho, the Keaton HT is really cool, and I do want a West HT Batman. I'll probably get the Mattel range of 60s 6" figures when they are released.

And like a star, he takes it on the chin! I, too, grew up on West's BATMAN and for years a thought that his was the one and only way I would ever want to see him. And then I grew up and my tastes evolved, and the KEATON Bat came on the scene.

I had never been more excited to see a movie in my whole life! Even more so than with Superman in the late 70s.

The BAT rocks!

I have always enjoyed the movie, and like the look. This DX figure captures the Keaton look perfectly.
I still like the West show. I watched 6 ep's back to back this morning while I was working on other stuff on the computer !!

 

[Marvel-ous]

I have never seen a character look as goofy and laughable as West's Batman. Well, maybe Ronald McDonald, but at least he's got the excuse of being a clown. As far as I'm concerned, Keaton's Bats is the first true onscreen iteration.

Tried doing the pose where he had his cape draping down like so many other awesome pics here. But I just cant get it to sit straight. So it was just easier to make it balloon out behind him. Just think that it was windy that day

I like your windy day look

 

[DGTWoodward]

I like your windy day look

Yes, it's the way you have the leading edges and edge-points of the cape flapping, it does look like it's windy, specially on the (our) right, the (figure's) left side of the cape.

 

[The Side of the Show]

How's your 89 guys? is there any issues?

 

[Grand Admiral Thrawn]

fine, nothing to report, except that, it´s a solid figure.

Same here. I got my first one at the beginning of February and have had no issues with it, well other than the fact that I can't stop looking at it

 

[The Side of the Show]

Ayt Good to know guys Coz i have one here standing on my shelf, yup it's indeed a great figure!

 

[minivader]

finally got the cape to a point that looks ok. Seriously, the cape is a test of patience. Such a shame too when the rest of the figure is top notch.

 

[DVD1]

I like the cape and agree that it requires patience. It behaves like an articulated cape, but no joints to control. When worked you can get almost any action. I am continually trying new positions for it. Makes up for the lack of posability of the figure due to the restrictions of the rubber suit.
