Hot Toys Announce Batman Returns License

[J-Mart]

I figured it was just because the Burton films were the first ones that a lot of people on here saw and what they grew up with. I didn't know if the argument was going to be made that it was because it's more "true" to the comics.

DX 09 Batman '89 > DX 12 Batman TDKR


No comparison. '89 Batman is one of the classiest figures I own.

thats my argument for burton batman > nolan batman for sure. the burton movies were not perfect (i cannot look past how he had the joker killing bruce's parents! just how could he change 50 years of bats history!!) but they had the awesome bat suit, batmobile and the iconic 'im batman scene' all could be straight from the comicbook. things i will always love about that movie. nolan had ledger as an outstanding joker but missed the point with me as a batman movie. neither the suit or the batmobile hit home for me and the lack of a real batcave just didn't feel right.

i grew up with west, was 16 when burton brought batman to the big screen again and enjoyed the most recent nolan films. but as yet i haven't seen a definitive batman movie, and i doubt i will with B vs S.

It depends on who you ask. Sure, nostalgia would probably be a huge factor in preference but I personally never liked Batman Returns at all until I saw TDKR which was even a worse Batman movie and I now appreciate Returns much more. When Batman Begins was out, I trashed the old films thinking Begins was the definitive Batman movie. Time goes on and I started to formulate my own opinions. So yeah, it's not like the Burton Batman was always my unshakable favorite.

Mask of the Phantasm was the definitive Batman movie for me.

It's nothing difficult to grasp at all. Some people favor the Burton movies, some the Nolan ones. but I'm guessing since you were 10 at the time Batman Begins was out means that you probably will have a harder time understanding what the 89 movie means to most people. You'll be at the same position once a new Batman movie comes out in 2025 and people are saying the Nolan ones are dated. "Appeal" is subjective and it's totally fine to have different preference, it's what makes us unique.

I enjoy both iterations but prefer the Burton ones, does it make a a better person that the Nolanites? Hell no, it's just preference. Here's a compelling argument on why the Burton movies are better in my book.

That video actually does a pretty nice breakdown

Mask of the Phantasm. I still consider that to be the best Batman animated movie just behind The Dark Knight Returns.
I think any argument for or against any Bats being definitive is purely in the eye of the beholder..so to speak. Me, I grew up with the 60s show, and loved it. When I first saw the promo material for the 89 movie, I was so not impressed, but it began to grow on me, as we got trailers and posters and magazines (hype). I eventually couldn't wait to see it, and, loved it.
I've got to say that I've at least enjoyed each interpretation of the Bat on screen ( both big and small). I'm currently watching Batman Beyond for the first time. It took a while but I'm liking it.
The Nolan stuff is good, but given a choice on character design, I would have to say I just love the 89 suit, and that Batmobile is just too cool. Of course, running a very close second for is the 60s Batmobile. So, as subjective as which one is best is, each has its merits. I also have to say that I can change personal choice after I get immersed in any given interpretation. What can I say, I'm fickle !!

I seriously implore you to check out Justice League and Justice League Unlimited when you're done with Batman Beyond. There are things there that gives closure to BTAS, Mask of the Phantasm, and Batman Beyond. It's some of the most amazing things I've ever seen.

JL and JLU are amazing.
I have the two volume complete set on DVD. I just finished watching them a couple of days ago. It seems I'm catching up on the past couple of decades worth of animated DC. Bats in JL was great as the loner of the team; totally dead pan, and straight faced throughout.
After I've watched these Beyonds, I'm out of anything that I haven't seen, until next month when Warner release the 70s animated series (that I barely recall).

I'm really hoping we get some form of news on this at SDCC.

Wow, never seen that pic before, thanks for posting Fab.

No problem.

It's from a recent auction for film props. That's one of the best shots of the suit in natural lighting I think.
