Arkham Asylum suit is kind of strange because inside the first part of the game, it looks blue... but once you go outside and in a few of the other
buildings, the suit is black. *shrugs*

Almost done AA (I've beaten it before mind you) you definitely got a point there. It's definitely blue in the beginning but mutates into black the rest of the game. It was pretty consistent blue in AC if I remember correctly.

I actually just got the AA Play Arts figs of Joker and Bats today. I really like them but Bats cape is clunky.

Except in the colour posters for AC in which it's blue.

The colour of Batman's cape is honestly the 9th wonder of the world lol

I don't think that's an offical image. Looks fanmade. Joker isn't even colored the same as the others. Very odd IMO. 99% of the promo images were the white washed ones with just certain things in color.

It's official art. and in BOTH Arkham city, and Arkham asylum, Batman's' Cape and hood is a VERY DARK navy blue.
you will Very rarely see anything in unreal engine that is actually gonna be black. It just tends to look weirdly washed out,and generaly end up looking VERY flat with no detail on solid objects in my experience. The lighting is what makes it LOOK black.

In Arkham asylum, the lighting was very inconsistent from area to area. This caused the cape and cowl to appear to change color from area to area.

In arkham City, the lighting is much more consistent throughout the game, and as such the cape appears black 99% of the time.

But on the character model, his cape and cowl is A dark DARK blue.

So either way hot toys will be in-accurate

Re: Hot Toys VGM Series Batman: Arkham City - Batman Collectible Figure

More or less. I'd be happy with either to be honest, though, speaking in how the human eye picks up color in the real world, a dark DARK blue tends to blend into the darkness BETTER, and disappear more than actual black. This is due to it being a subtler color than black.

so, in other words, DARK BLUE is better cammoflodge.

How about HT shows us already? That way we can _____ if it's black and _____if it's blue.

DCD can't win on the black vs blue debate either, so no way will HT survive that either

I would like dark blue actually ..... Black is just too boring after all the movie costumes hot toys have done are black .... Let's have some color in our displays hot toys also interested .... What body do you think they are gonna use on this ?? Will it be muscular or will they use a normal TT ?

Re: Hot Toys VGM Series Batman: Arkham City - Batman Collectible Figure

I can see them making an entirely new one, or a body with at least new parts like Reeves superman. His body shape in the games is unique!

And while we're on it I would prefer a dark blue cape and cowl too!

Re: Hot Toys VGM Series Batman: Arkham City - Batman Collectible Figure

Dark blue for the win, and hopefully a regular TT with a fabric suit.

 

[batfan08]

Re: Hot Toys VGM Series Batman: Arkham City - Batman Collectible Figure

Custom body (like Reeve) with textured fabric suit (a la Jill Valentine), and also, dark blue cape, cowl, etc.

Re: Hot Toys VGM Series Batman: Arkham City - Batman Collectible Figure

Definitely a new body. The arms will need to be gigantic.

This is a plan for pure win

It'd be really cool to get an alternate cowl w/Detective Mode eyes. One thing that I'm most curious about, though. If HT really did mean that every Batman would have interchangeable faces, what expressions would you guys want? I think Normal and talking would be givens, but what else?

#1. Standard face
#2. would like an angry face
#3. Battle Damaged.

^ Pretty much. Maybe with varying levels of stubble to show how long he's been in Arkham City.

Re: Hot Toys VGM Series Batman: Arkham City - Batman Collectible Figure

God, couldn't you guys imagine Seb getting his hands on one of these and making a BD version?

 

[Boba Funk]

Hmm me thinks they will go with a Barney Ross body considering they body size and arm size is almost the same..... Also I hope we get all da gadgets he used In-game

Yes to everything.
Though I'd be very happy with

1 - Standard look
2 - Angry, stubble, injured look
