1/6 Hot Toys - BvS: Dawn of Justice - Batman

[Captain Clown]

I really want to pose this guy with the sniper rifle, like when he's standing on the tower surveying the Lexcorp shipment. Really hoping his suit doesn't restrict him from doing that.

 

[SilverStar17]

With the scope up to his eye you mean, or merely holding the rifle with both hands?

 

[Captain Clown]

Yeah, like that. Hopefully the suit won't bunch up a lot.

 

[SilverStar17]

Yeah, like that. Hopefully the suit won't bunch up a lot.

I don't imagine you'd have much of a problem just having him hold the rifle with two hands at ease, but having him hold the scope up to his eye may potentially prove to be a bit tricky. Like you said, hopefully it's feasible though. I plan on having mine holding the grenade launcher.

Without head articulation, having him hold the rifle to his eye will be impossible. Even if he did have that, the suit looks like it would never allow for it. I'm thinking, unfortunately, this batman will likely end up in mostly museum poses.

 

[BrooklynWolf X]

Agreed. If the recent superman is anything to go by, it'll be tough getting his arms into a firing position that'll look natural due to the added bulk. For instance, the way supermans shoulders are designed prevent any sort of forward or backward movement. It's all speculation of course...we won't know until we have it in hand...

....in Sept. So.far.away.

I wouldn't expect too much articulation from him. Especially if they beef him up even more and tighten the costume.

That's what I'm guessing.

The head kind of looks like it'd have about the same articulation as the Keaton Batman figures and the suit looks like it might be pretty restrictive; not to mention throw in the more muscular/beefier body that HT designed for him. I'm sure you'll probably be able to have him hold it (the sniper rifle) with two hands in a sort of relaxed pose, but I don't think I'd count on being able to bring the scope up to his eye and be able to have him hold the rifle that high.

I've had the UE since the 28th and still haven't been able to finish it

snyder makes absolutely no attempt to get get a decent performance out any of the actors in his films, if fact it almost seems like he encourages them to give as bland of a performance as possible

he seems to get access to more and more quality actors with each new film he directs but completely squanders their talents

it's like it was mandatory for everyone to take a dose of sedatives before filming began each day

 

[Sidewinder]

I won't be getting Batman from SS. I expect Batman to only be in it for a very small amount of time, so I would just skip that figure.

I'd expect some battle damaged version or diorama base version with a Justice League figure, just to make it different from this release.

 

[Futurion]

Batman will be in SS just as part of flashbacks about Harley's origin.

 

[snakeeyes171]

Is that all, I thought he would be giving the squad trouble

 

[darthconlan]

Still hope they make him from SS with the breather on. Looks cool!

I disagree. Have the UT since the 28th as well and already watched it three times. BvS is a great film imo. Its fine if people don't agree, but why is it mandatory for the people who did not like it to come into these threads and bum everyone out with the negativity?! You will never see me in the Civil War figures threads and tell people how much I hated that factory assembled TV look-a-like crap fest.

No, he supposedly has a fight with Deadshot.

got to say i agree with this
not the bit about cw being a crap fest ,i enjoyed it

but the repetitive negativity in the main wears me out
i have no connection to star wars or lord of the rings etc
so i don't even visit those areas let alone go there to tell everyone that those films are s**t no matter how important it might make me feel doing it thats why folks do it ..right

Agreed.

However, what I don't understand that seems "mandatory" to me is why people feel the need to compare the two and decide which one is the definitive, better film. Don't get me wrong, I understand being that they are two big films from the same genre released at roughly around the same time, comparisons are going to be natural and inevitable and that one will have a personal preference over the other. However, I VERY seldom see anyone say they enjoyed both for what they were intended to be. It either has to be, BvS was utterly amazing and Civil War was a complete crap fest, or Civil War was absolutely fantastic and BvS was a total crap show. Like I said, very seldom have I ever seen anyone say that they thoroughly enjoyed both, but just simply prefer one slightly over the other. To me, Marvel and DC have two different unique film styles and both are very enjoyable. What Marvel films generally lack, DC films generally have and what DC films generally lack, Marvel generally has. DC doesn't need to be more like Marvel and Marvel doesn't need to be more like DC.

Myself, I immensely enjoyed both films. However, if forced to choose, I would have to say I prefer BvS a little more and the UE just solidifies that preference even more so.

To me, with the UE of BvS, if you didn't like the tone of the film to begin with or didn't like the way any particular character was portrayed, the UE won't "fix" that. You're still going to dislike it. However, what it does "fix" is it fills in things that would have otherwise been construed as plotholes. It has scenes that serve as better segues between scenes and as opposed to being like rock merely skipping over the water, the UE is a straight, fluent line.

I made no comparison to civil war whatsoever in my post.

Everyone that commented on my post did though even after saying they shouldn't be compared.

If it's ok for people to praise the film here then it should be ok for people to criticize it as well.

Correct, you have every right to criticize BVS or whatever else you want.
I loved the movie but that shouldn't stop you from stating your dislike.
As Voltaire said: "I might disagree with your opinion, but I am willing to give my life for your right to express it ".
Of course there's no need to be as dramatic here.
