How much later does OSK release it after HT/Sideshow?
I've ordered a handful of Hot Toys from Kit. They have usually been shipped 2-6 weeks before Sideshow. They won't be first batch or anything, but are still earlier time frame than Sideshow. Plus you save about $20 with Kit after the tax and shipping from SSC.
 
Asked Jaxon if he had any plans on making a replacement cape for Robin with an accurate maroon interior, and he liked my message. Hopefully that mean’s he’ll do one! :woo

Watched Batman & Robin last night. It had probably been since at least the early 2000s that I last watched it (aside from random clips). I have to say I didn’t hate it like I once did.

Definitely not a perfect movie and far from my preferred version of Batman, but I think if you take it as camp much like the 66 series it’s okay in an odd way.
 
I personally find both Schumacher Bat-films very re-watchable. I can just switch my brain off and enjoy fantastic visuals, fun over-the-top villains, and imaginative action throughout. I never get bored watching them.

But I guess the thing is, when I put these movies on, I'm not expecting a dark brooding Batman in a dark gritty world. I'm expecting vibrant colour and over-the-top action and plot. So I'm never disappointed.

And just FYI, I love the Burton movies and the Nolan movies just as much.
 
It's actually very poetic that live action batman went through the same phases as comic batman. He goes from dark gritty origins with 89 and 92 to campy with BF and B&R and returns to Dark and gritty in Nolans trilogy, and the DCEU, and The Batman. Soon with Gunn's DCU he will be a mix of lighthearted and Dark.
 
I vividly remember being embarrassed at the movie theater watching this one. The derogatory comments and laughing at the scenes cut me like a knife as an avid Batfan. Retrospect is a great thing, the movie itself still isn't great but soem of the aesthetics were. Including the Batman/Robin costumes.

The thing I have found over the years is I do not need a grounded in real life Batman. I like a Batmobile that looks like a Batmobile, Batgadets that are over the top and a well crafted story. Nolans films were fine, aesthetically believable (dare I say Boring to some degree) but hardly fun. Batman has always been fun, I don't need excessive violence or real world problems. Much like I prefer the Bond movies of the 70's and 80's give me some over the top villians and the Caped Crusaders. Batmans roots will always be comicbbooks and I prefer a live media that reflects that. Really looking forward to adding these to my Movie Batmen. I don't own a Bale or a Pattinson, seriously considered an Afleck but passed. Clooney and O'Donnell def. Po's.
