I like them both.
To be fair, the paint-job on my custom is not among the best.
You can't really judge them until they've both got paint jobs of equal quality. If we were to look at them as unpainted sculpts I think Adam's would win out.
That looks amazing.
Maglor, does yours look like that in person?
Wait, is that the HT or custom.
Yes it's the custom.
He has a much better paint- up than mine.

Broke and happy
yeah easily
Great pic neo as always.
The main thing I don't like about Adam's is the mouth. I love the sculpt. and yes I've seen it in person, but that mouth is just terrible looking. I know it's Bale's mouth from that specific scene but to me, it only works with that scene. Which is why I really prefer the HT one. it works in a suit, on the TDK batman, in the first night out set up and as Steve74 showed us, a harness with some jeans and a t-shirt.

I see what you mean he kinda looks like he's pouting or something like that.

I've said ad nauseam that until customizers can match HT's paintwork, no custom sculpt will ever look as good painted as an official HT sculpt unless it's cast in flesh-colored, translucent material. If it's standard white/gray resin or plastic, too much work has to go into making the flesh tone look real, which causes the figure to look like it's wearing heavy makeup. I've yet to see any of the custom Bale sculpts look up to snuff after they've been painted. They're just not realistic, and look about equal to HT's first Brandon Routh.
Unpainted, the custom Bale sculpt wins. Unfortunately, custom efforts just don't have the resources HT does yet and they suffer because of it.

I have both.
I have both too
, and mine was painted by myself 
IMO, Adam's > HT , but, proto HT Bale> best painted Adam's
I really think that's the shadowing.
Does mine look like it's whistling?
Although I generaly agree, there are a few painters that are an exception.
Personally I think the paint-job Neo posted is superior to the stock HT paint. On the other hand the proto HT paint job is probably superior, but that's a mute point.
And for the record Adams Bruce Wayne was cast in translucent flesh-colored resin.
Again, prolly true, but a mute point.
However I do think that if boot25 was still around he could do a paint-job to rival the HT proto.
I think the HT sculpt looks more heroic and healthy. But Bale, frankly, isn't a very heroic and healthy looking man. He looks kind of sickly and weird. And the Adam sculpt captures that better. But for the price, I'm happy with what I've got (which is the HT version), considering it stays in the box anyways.
Nail on the head.
Like all HT sculpts, it's an idealized version of the character.
I honestly doubt it, because Hot Toys head scult has better texture skin, in my opinion that's the key, why the paint job looks better on Hot Toys, not because the paint is better from hot toys, yet because the cast material has skin texture and Adam's head sculpt has flat skin.

I see alot of the war criminal in Adams sculpt.
How very patriotic of you...
Someone's always got an angle to push...
But I do see George W. In there... but it's not the sculpt but more so their similar features.

I am very patriotic, that is why my opinion is what it is. No hidden agenda's/angles here, the man belongs in prison. Pm if you would like to continue the debate.
