????????

From a mod no less.

Thats not your style maul

I guess even a mod needs have abit of fun sometimes.

I went googling to see if there was a funny Keaton GIF out there, I came accross it, I laughed, figured fellow Bat fans could use a laugh hehe.

Look again.

In the final fight at the end, the belt is gold like it is in Returns.

Belt is yellow in the rest of the movie.

Hmm...

Here's a pic of post Bat-crash!

Not sure we're getting a whole BD suit though.

You can kind of see the belt's gold here... though you really have to look. Not sure why he changed it in mid-stream. But Burton clearly liked the gold better and went with it in the second film.

Here's the gold:

Here's the yellow:

I am almost 100% that these are the exact same belts and the difference in color seen here is either due to a photographic oddity or lighting ( or both).

The actual screen used belt was a sort of mustard yellow with a layered paint effect that gave it a gold sheen in certain lights. The returns belt is more of a true idealized gold with the "capsules" spread even further a part than in the original 89.

I have spent many years researching this suit and I am positive that there were not multiple colors for the belts. There may have been
'stunt' belts that appeared to look slightly different on screen but that would be it.

It's better than one big, long winded paragraph reemphasizing the exact same point of a previous post.

Omg, you have a master degree Bat belt analysing or something?

 

[Guinnessfan]

was there ever an explanation from Burton about why he changed the symbol on the suit in pt. 1 then back to the original in pt. 2?

I'm sorry. How'd that work out for you?


That said, I don't claim to be an expert. I was ignorant of the different belts myself until Sovereign Shawn pointed it out to me in 2003. I in fact referred to the movie and did see the two different belts. At least, it looked like two different belts. But I have nothing to back that up, other than it looks clearly yellow sometimes and clearly gold other times.

Sovereign claims to be an expert much like you claim. So who should I believe?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Hmm...

So what color is this then?

Honestly, I could care less, but I figured some of you guys would.

I'm willing to leave it up to Hot Toys. If they give us both belts, then that shows there is indeed two. If not, then I'm fine with going back to believing in only one bat-belt. How's that? Fair?

 

[cerealwarz]

I want that batmobile. I wonder if they will make the plane?

I guess you could say he has a black belt in bat-belts.

This thread is starting to jump the shark already...

Robin! Hand me down the Shark Repellant Bat Spray!

You know, I think people would buy an Adam West Hot Toys figure.

Yep, no bloody face yet, that happened in the Bell Tower fights, which means it's pretty pointless to include it without a BD mask ( which occurred in the BW) crash.


Thanks Wor-Gar.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yep, you're right, those are all yellow. PRE-Bell Tower fight.


Someone just pop the damn movie in and check for us, please.

Batman carries a gun? WTF, that's not accurate. He hates guns.

DO NOT WANT!

He also killed people in those Burton flicks...
