Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

I'd say no chance of that happening... but you never know, maybe we see 3-4 different Jack Jokers as we did with Ledger

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

I would imagine all we will see is Bats and the Joker (possibly with a few outfits but i doubt it.)

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

well HT is getting pretty good at what they are doing in terms of headsculpts so really no excuse for them to redo it several times over to get it right especially with all the reference material available. Though they certainly could come out with just different headsculps and outfits.
With more in-house talents now I really hope they all get to choose the work they feel passionate about so the result is extra awesome

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

They could easely release a DX version of this Joker. He used some good costumes during the movie:

classic joker
jack napier
mime costume
museum date head sculpts

indeed, with The Dark Knight they had the excuse that they made a joker figure before much movie reference material was released, if I remember correctly....

But with the Jack joker thats no excuse....the movie is like 21 years old, they got pictures, movie stills, production pictures, high definition movie, many material on many forums and boards and websites, etc etc.
They cant say "we dont know for sure how Jack should be sculpted"

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

Me either I but I would buy an Napier figure, loved the gangster look.

I'd also buy a Jack Napier figure... that would be great to display with a Joker figure.

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

There have been several RDJ sculpts over the various HT Iron Man figures. They didn't recycle a sculpt to save time or money.

If they do several Jack N. Jokers I'd expect the same.

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

This maybe the first time I buy multiples of one figure. If he comes with different outfits and all his accessories( which he most likely will ), I would be forced to get at least two because I'm a huge fan of this version of the joker. I love this and Heaths equally and can't wait to have both versions on my self. I hope that they make at least two versions so we can get the outfits from the movie. Can't wait for the pics to be released could be a while though before we see them.

I agree..should be awesome...but, I think we will see this around mid summer.

That would be awesome if true

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

Probably a little late to the conversation here but count me in as a Batman/Batman Returns fan. While I ultimately prefer a "no killing" Batman, given his early history and Kane's involvement (and I like Burton's movies, generally), these are pure win for me. Can't wait for the Hot Toys figures. If they end up making the villains too, those will be hard to resist...

While I enjoy the new movies as well, the Burton/Keaton movies are the definitive live action Batman performances for me. I think I prefer the Bruce Timm/Kevin Conroy Batman more than anything else, but that doesn't make for a good Hot Toys figure.

Batman Forever and Batman and Robin were both garbage, in my books, though. I would be more likely to buy a Hot Toys Adam West (which, now that I think of it, might be kind of cool in its own right...).

 

[Kamandi]

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

An Adam West Batman would be great! They would have to give him a slightly goofy grin. Robin too, and he'd have to have that expression Burt Ward always had when saying "Holy (something something) Batman!"

We've had enough serious Batman now where I can afford to enjoy the camp of the 60's series.

I agree completely. Man, those movies were such a disappointment. Batman Froever didn't bother me as much when it came out but it just got worse and worse as the years went on. However, I would still be tempted to buy a Clooney and Kilmer Batman figure.

Yeah I liked the Kilmer suit except for the bat nips of course lol but I would probably still be tempted to get it.

Yeah, both of them really had the potential to be great Batmans (Batmen?)... especially Clooney, imo.

Clooney was the most ridiculous choice ever for Batman IMHO.
He just did his smug grin and acted badly as only Clooney can throughout.
Awful.

I Love Returns though, my fav batpic.

Does he have neck problems or what? every film he's in he's always doing that weird neck thing as his head bobs back and forth at that weird angle. It's annoying.

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

No, you're right. He even does it with the batsuit on surprisingly.

Re: HT Batman 1989 Coming

a 1/6th Barris Batmobile from HT would be epic(Especially if it had working sirens and lights.)
Would be Epic:
M Icon Adam West as Batman
-Authentic likeness to Adam West
-Silk Cape and cowl for alternate display
-Fully accurate costume
-William Shakespeare Bust
-Red telephone w/display case
-Foldable diorama with metal pole and nameplate
-Alternate Adam West portrait
-smoking jacket
-Ascot
-Shirt
-Slacks
-shoes
-pipe

Roger Moore has his eyebrows, Clooney has his neck!
