I’m more amazed that HT has offered almost 400 figures since the original BvS Batman……

As for this offering, other than the funky thighs, it’s a good looking update and total package.

Hell the original figure is fine.

half of them have been star wars clones.

The other half Iron Men.

And the other third Jokers

And the other third Jokers

Seriously. I am beyond sick of Heath Ledger Joker figures. And I love that version of the character but the wow factor of getting/owning a figure based on him is gone. Don't own one to this day and doubt I ever will.

Someone here has every Joker ever made.

Ben Affleck is 6' 2". Let's call suited Batfleck 6' 3" with boots and cowl. Knightmare Batman has it right.

But by that logic, to 6' 3" we should add another inch for the cowl/ears. That gives us 12.7" so The BvS 2.0 is pretty much on the mark.

Well, let’s see…

6’ 3” is 75“.

Conversion formula for inches to centimeters is x2.54

75 x 2.54 = 190.5

190.5 divided by 6 (for 1/6 scale) = 31.75

31.75cm = 12.5“

Knightmare Batman 2.0 = 12.5"
BVS Regular Suit 2.0 = 12.8"
JL Tactical Suit 2.0 = 12.9"
The Flash Batsuit = 12.9"

Knightmare Bats 2.0 = 12.5"
BVS Regular Suit 2.0 = 12.8"
JL Tactical Suit 2.0 = 12.9"
The Flash Batsuit = 12.9"

What the actual ****???

That's a HT issue rather than a Batman issue. HT has never been consistent nor accurate with their scaling, compounded by a shift in using larger bodies in 2015.

This also reminds me of Instgram posts way back where sad fanboys would use the HT BvS figure and compare him to the DX09 Keaton and use that as an indicator on out how pathetic and short Keaton was compared to big bad Affeck, despite the fact that the two figures were generations apart when it comes to HT scaling.

I'm a fan of all things Batman (even Clooney) and here's a shocker to some people-- Batman is 6'2 in all media he appears in. It doesn't matter if it's Affleck, Keaton, the videogame one or Adam West. HT should take that into account when making these figures, and they don't.

I said to add 1 for the cowl/ears, making it a 6'4" total height, making the conversion a total of 12.67", which is basically 12.7". Ergo, at 12,8 they're quite close to the actual calculated height.

Ben is 6'3 so he was the only Batman actor to be accurate to the character height in comics which I believe is 6'2 or 6'3 depending on artist. The figure having extra height isn't a big issue as I feel having an imposing Batman in the collection again will be great.

It definitely is bro But my point of the post was that why such inconsistencies though. I get it for the last 2 tactical suits, but they should've kept the regular suits the same height.

Why? The boot sole and the cowl height are the same. These are the only things that should affect the height, other than the weight of the armor.

Aren't the new Flash boots and cowl a little different and bigger? And his tactical cowl in JL was tad bigger too as compared to the BVS one. Specially due to the neck and ears shape.

Ah, sorry yes. JL, Tactical and Flash use the same cowl and it's about 0.5-0.75 inches taller than BvS.

I’m sincerely impressed with ya’ll that are wheeler-dealers. Prior to this announcement I would never have sold my HT BvS Batman 1.0. It’s hands down my favorite HT figure. I’m far from convinced yet that v 2.0 will equal or surpass it. There’s a strong chance that it will, granted. But even if just for sentimental reasons I’m okay holding onto it.

A close second is JL Superman with that beautiful vibrant blue suit. I’ll probably never sell that either because it never appeared in any of the films—Josstice league used such atrocious color grading that the suit looked a teal color. I doubt we’ll see this clean a representation in a 1/6 figure of Cavill’s Superman as the suit was intended to look By Michael Wilkinson.

Agreed, my OG BvS Batman won't be going anywhere. Custom cape and some mods make him a must keep imo.

However must say I'm on the fence here with the HT 2.0. Think I'll wait and see what InArt has to show in comparison (we've got time).

Although it'll be tough for InArt to beat that HT head sculpt and pretty amazing deluxe base. Really need to think what sort of display I'm going for the with updated Trinity here anyway.

Would still love HT to do a Batmobile for them to stand around. If they did, that would be out in a couple of years which would mean I would be in a better place financially to get one.

Gotta say though that the Flash Batman is slowly going down my list of priorities. Unless the faceplates of one of these "real" Batfleck figures could fit it.

I might get it as well just for it being Batfleck's final outing as Batman, but that figure would also require some serious mods, in addition to a custom headsculpt.

Haha, we’re really splitting hairs here with the measurements. But Google says he’s 6’ 2” not 6’ 3”.

I said to add 1 for the cowl/ears, making it a 6'4" total height, making the conversion a total of 12.67", which is basically 12.7". Ergo, at 12,8 they're quite close to the actual calculated height.

I know but according to Google the actor’s height is 6’ 2”. I mean, they don’t say if that’s barefooted, lol. I added an inch to the normal state of a person’s height because of the apparent bulk of the Batsuit, i.e., the boots have fairly serious soles, plus the cowl presumably has some cushioning and has electronics embedded in it, etc.

But you’re adding another inch to that! That’s all I’m trying to point out.

We’re classically splitting hairs over this, lol! Anything in the 12.5 to 12.8 inches is going to be accurate, essentially.
