Hot Toys Announce Batman Returns License

[Bowzer]

I'm very happy they announced this before I bought the 89 Batman.
I always preferred the Returns suit and especially cowl, but the 89 pics looked so good that I wouldn't have held out for a Returns version. Now that it's confirmed, I can happily wait for the version I prefer.

I am thinking the same about that.
I couldn`t wait fo the Returns version. I wait
a long time for this version.

I was thinking, PERS will be even more useful for the Returns Batman than the '89 version.

I wonder if they'll give him that detonator.

There is only one reason why Ashley Wood and 3A staffers visited the Hot Toys offices...

Since 3A is working on Metal Gear Rex, it's most likely that since it's the only license they share, HT is consulting or collaborating with them on something MGS related.

Damn, DiFabio, how many times have you watched these movies?

I disagree with that. Returns lit the cowl much more than '89, there were more shots that just showed off Keaton's eyes in '89, some of the coolest shots had minimal highlights on the cowl and an almost spotlight effect on his eyes. I think versatile eyes is of more value on the DX09 Batman, but I'm sure the Returns Batman will be DX as well.

What connection does 3A have with Batman?

 

[RIDDICK]

Catwoman>Joker

Catwoman costume.

Catwoman costume.

Yup... I',m telling you, look at a TQ and that's what we are headed in terms of Catwoman suit.

I'd love Adam West style Batman figures, but I don't think they're a possibility. There might be some loophole with the movie, but the show is so caught up in a rights tug of war, they can't even release DVDs.

Unlike Batman Forever and Batman and Robin, the 1966 show knew exactly what it was trying to be. It indulged in camp, showcasing the absurdity of some of the comics of the time. It worked because adults could laugh at the jokes while kids didn't care what was going on. They took it seriously because it was Batman.

The Schumacher movies couldn't decide what they were going for. They tried camp, but tried to mix it with terribly bad serious scenes (Alfred's sickness in B&R anyone?), and threw in over-the-top gaudy production design to top it all off.

Say what you will about some of the oddball choices in Batman Returns, but at least Burton and Bo Welch understood style. It's a beautiful movie that rivals some of the director's most impressive visual films.

Rex - regarding the first part of your post, I always assumed as much. Shame really, I'd LOVE an Adam West Batman & Julie Newmar Catwoman..

As for your comments on the Schumacher films - totally agree. I haven't seen those films in years - I might watch Forever again some time, but never B&R again.

I also agree with what Khev wrote before you - great points.

Actually I would say "BATMAN AND ROBIN" is the black sheep of all film history.

Fixed it for ya.

I hope they add one of these guys as an accessory for Penguin if they make him.

Wait. Is that even in question?

As a huge Burton Batman fan, I'll get anything from this line :

- Batman DX (I've already ordered the 89 version but I really want everything Keaton related)
- Batmobile
- Catwoman
- Penguin

It would be great if Bruce Wayne's and Selyna Kyle's HS were included in the package though..

I would bite then, I love the little penguins.

 

[phobicsquirrel]

... and I really hope they put a 2nd head on bats, you know the one near the end of returns when he rips off his mask. That would be epic.

I can't wait to see how awesome the 1/4 Batman Returns "Batman" will be! I just hope it doesn't cost 4 million dollars

God I am so hyped for this. Returns is probably my second most favourite bat-suit(right behind Begins version), due to the design of the cowl. Its like a sexier, more refined version of the 89' mask, and Keaton looked fantastic in it. Also the possibilities for extra heads, and accesories are promising.

And its only gonna get better. Look at the mind-blowing quality of the new 89'figure, now imagine those production values put to faithfully recreate the intricacies of the TDKR suit.

It's really great to be a Bat collector, this year. We should start thinking about creating some hipster t-shirt designs. Something along the line of: "I liked Batman collectibles, before it was cool"

Also, on a hobby-finance note: anyone here interesed in buying a kidney? Young, good condition.
