The more I look at the 2.0 the worse it gets. Not just the texture, cape, majority of the mouthplates, and lack of an accurate suit are bad, but the belt sucks too. The side pods are gigantic and they didn’t even bother with some of the gold paint.
Almost every single change they made is a downgrade from the DX09. I’m with Batfan about sending this guy in to be fully battle damaged - it feels like the best way to salvage him, unless you want to:
- Buy Jaxon’s cape ($70+)
- Buy Unreal’s head ($300+)
- Buy a DX09 body ($120+)
- Buy a new belt ($???)
Why? Even that static Flash 1989 batsuit statue thing they showed looked miles better than this. They know what this is supposed to look like.
I can’t even see InArt or JND swooping in here. I’m fine keeping my order, I missed out on the DX09, but watching reviews and seeing comparison photos is pissing me off.

The dx 09 is boxy proportionally. It’s the cape that saves it.
It’s an altogether awkward body shape.
I think that’s one of the biggest improvement's to the dx 09.
I agree it’s over textured but its no where near as bad as close up pics make it look-it’s pretty much identical to my dx09 side by side.
The dx looks like a “toy” alongside this.
I’m still keeping my dx09 to go alongside my Batmobile but the new one kicks its ass
The exact same apart from the detailing round the inner clasp-which is my only gripe on this figure.
It’s the exact same size as the dx 09, pods at the side too- Exact same

Screen-used belt:

It looks like a ToyBiz roleplay item for kids.

Well, I've come full circle with a wide range of emotions about this release. Was initially floored and excited. Then disappointed and peeved. At this point I've accepted all of it for what it is (and isn't).
Just gonna try to enjoy it when it gets here and see if it can spark a flame of interest and fun in seeing it displayed. It'll be my first representation of him at this scale and I really want to make the best of it where and if I can.

Are the belt pods movable or glued in place?

Moveable-the same as the dx 09 belt.
It’s the same belt
Sounds like the plan... unless of course HT has yet another Batman in the 'wings'

I'm curious what changes will be applied to the Returns version now. You just know it's gonna be another lesson in pain for us all over again.
Bat-pain in the Bat-ass.

Returns versions only improvements that could be made made would be hidden pers panel and better eye detail.
Do the people here that are bemoaning this release even own the originals?!

DX09 belt is even worse, more inaccurate that the new one. 2.0 it's still not 100% but it's better.
Will someone attempt a DX09 suit swap?
That’s about the only option until someone finally segments the suit.
On the bright side, let’s be honest, Keaton isn’t the star of the show here. Eyes raised is how I’ll display him, he’s an accessory to me.

Without the weathering, the belt comes off as yellow colored plastic without any paint applied. Yet another step backwards.
Ugh. I've gotta stay out of this thread...

This thread gives me whiplash every time I read it. The above quotes basically encapsulate the last 70 pages or so
...I still quite like it and still consider it an overall improvement in spite of some obvious flaws. And I've owned both DX09 and Returns so I'm not driving blind. Of course, everyone gets their own opinion and what doesn't bother me may drive someone else nuts. But yeah ... whiplash.

Yes, but with the DX 09 we recognize Keaton immediately.
