Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

I'm assuming DCD will be importing these to the states?

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

Unless things changed since TDK, DCD will likely be exclusive for the US.

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

man...looking at that suit...it must've been a nightmare for keaton to wear that. at least with bale's version, it was soft enough for him to move his head around, still not as much as TDK ver (bale still got headaches in the panther suit), but more flexible than the 89 suit.

oh and another question, keaton isn't as tall as bale right?

Yes, you are right about it was a nightmare for Keaton, so much so that he requested changes for Returns.
But, Bale was not wearing the Panther, that was Kilmer and Clooney wore a version of it (as well as the OnStar commercials.) And again, correct, Keaton is about 5'9", Bale is definitely taller.

Which is nice for me, I get them from my local comic shop at cost. I wish he carried SideShow stuff too!

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

Yeah, Bale is taller than Keaton. Keaton wasn't a very tall guy.

Movie/storywise though, both Batmen are 6'1", 6'2".

sorry my bad, when i said panther, i was referring to the neck on the begins suit. i was throwing that term around too loosely.

so seeing as how keaton is shorter than bale..SHOULD they make bats a bit shorter??


ok...i know i'm REALLY splitting hairs here haha.

I doubt that they would, but I'd be happy if they did.

I doubt it, especially with that cowl and boots. He'll probably be as tall or a smidge taller than the other HT Batman.

Like I said, the actor may have been short, but we're not supposed to believe, watching the film that Batman is 5'9" because he's "Batman".

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

Yeah, I vote regular MMS.



I'm getting over PERS...

I'm starting to think the same way. It looks like they're implementing it better, based off the initial Indy promo shots, but as a whole, the system's novelty has gotten old for me.

they can always put him on the slim TT...then he'll be as tall as DX02...OR, they don't have to include the extenders like they did with DX02...

and don't you mean, "the goddamn batman?"

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

I think getting this version might ease the pain of not having the Original suit Dark Knight Version.


I said might

It will.

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

Yeah, I know what you guys mean,


In this picture, you can see it folded over his shoulders,

In this one it's under the scalloped part of the cowl,

Is that not the same cape with one picture showing it thrown over both shoulders?

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

It will.

For me it will ease not getting the DX 02!! I was pissed that I missed that one. Now the prices are ridiculous. Although i would like to still have one ..but , not at $285 + > dollars!!

Anyone think the values might fall on the DX 02 ??
