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

[MarfMaster]

I'm really digging the cape draped forward look, but I think it's a shame to cover up all the detail in the gauntlets and such. How to pose...how to pose.

On another note, I was able to finally get the OC BB with the BW HS....

Cool, but make sure you take some QT at the B&B down by the DMZ or you'll get all FUBAR and send out an SOS and go MIA, OK?

LOL

Always a valid concern with any caped figure (Leonidas, Batman, Liberace, Elvis, etc).

 

[DiFabio]

Buy multiples and pose them differently!

dude TDK batman uses detective skills And his brain. And do complain about the tumbler with the batpod cuz the batmobile split in 3 to squeeze through an alley. both are amazing for said interpretation.

TDK had bats using ballistics and fingerprint scanning, trying to get into jokers head in the GCPD interrogation. creating the sonars extent to which every phone was a transmitter because technology allowed.

Keaton used news papers and the batcomputer which in 89 was technical genious

What Keaton Bats did not have in technology he made up for in synapses. I'll grant you the wicked tech on Nolan's side but the style is weak comparatively. I mean, this is a guy who has little bat ears on his cowl, might as well go full bore. You also have to give credit to Lucius for much of that anyway, in '89 it was all Bruce Wayne.

The Bat Missle was ridiculous (what if i need to drive through a 4 foot wide alley?) and one of the things that weakened the sequel for me. I will concede Batpod>Batmissle, but both are non-essential. You NEED a true Batmobile and Batwing.

One thing I wish Burton was able to include were the concealed cannons in the 200 anni cake float. At least then the demise of the Batwing would have made sense.

Anyway, in going out of their way to make a maniacal genius who is always a step ahead of the protagonist, they took Bats down a few notches. It really sucks Ledger died, esp because of Nolan's plan to involve him in a third film which if added to the current cast might easily answer all my qualms about the character. We might have seen Batman thoroughly dismantle his mystique without resorting to a desperate beatdown. In DKR though, the Joker had control the entire time and Batman's "victory" was completely hollow.

Look at those ugly seams! Good thing that scene moves quickly. The headsculpt looks better than the rest of him there. Awesome stuff!

Looks like he can't either. Had to stitch up his pits a couple times already.

That 1st pic would definitely pass off as pic for the film poster.

Damn, that is a good one.
