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

[xmentoysplease]

Not too sure about that. I can't see the SS version having many accessories.

I thought and still think that the SS version was nonexistent and the rebreather comes with Deadshot...

 

[Wolf_predator]

All I gotta say is this figure is so bad ass, well used of materials, perfect sculpt, when you touch Batfleck's six packs it feels like its real. If you think the batman armory's batman is good then this one is the best batman so far. 10/10 for me! If you miss out don't worry, still got JL version to come, but you'll have to wait for 2018 though lol

I don't think that's how WB, and Snyder see these films at all. They've clearly tried to be more high brow, and more then just super hero fun/spectacle. So when they take themselves so deathly serious, they and their fans should understand people are going to call them out when they miss the mark.

well maybe but thats opinion. i don't think they missed the mark by much. i felt satisfied when i walked out of the theater. i think they care more about that. ill pay my $9.50 to see WW and Aquaman and whatever the hell else they do. so I'm not so sure they missed the mark.

Re: Possible Hot Toys DC TV license?

when i watched the theatrical version, i sat in my chair thinking, this was one of the best Superhero movies i had seen...in fact better than all of them except for dark knight and CW. i loved it from the word go. yes its flawed, SO WHAT. people get so involved in being critical that they miss the point. its a superhero movie for us to watch the spectacle of. anyone who is not a critic that spends more than 3 minutes complaining and nitpicking (the IGN user) really need to rethink their lives. I'm not talking about fans sitting around a beer or 2 talking about what they liked and didn't like, no. I'm talking about the haters. the people who just want to piss and moan.

i loved this movie and the ultimate edition was even better. its not the greatest of all time. no. but my 2 favorites outside of star wars are batman and superman. and to that end, i thought this movie was a load of fun and i look forward to all the DC movies. i personally enjoy the grit and darkness. you don't have to. but you don't have to whine about it endlessly either. i hated the tobey maguire spidermans. thats about as much as I've said about them.

so put me in camp 5.

Loved it. Definite buy. all of them.

Hell yeah broham!! I too loved it and walked out with all smiles.

Clipperking's "old school" mod of using a lighter on his Batman cape made my day.

The whole mint condition and buying modern collectibles for profit really needs to stop. I think very few so called "collectibles" will be worth a lot in the future. Unless the company actually makes a point in making the item rare. There will be a ton of these Batman and other Hot Toys figures. I like seeing people mod them to make them more movie accurate.

I get more money from my bank interest than selling Hot Toys figures. HT figures are very weak investment.

Actually, they seem to care more about the people who weren't satisfied as evidenced by the set visit reports a while back where they basically admitted to taking some wrong turns, and have changed some things in reaction to the critical beating BvS took.

 

[Rufusboy]

Batman is my favorite fictional character, bar none, therefore my affinity is and has been for DC. That said, I still really like Marvel and enjoy the heck out of the Marvel movies. While MOS was ok in my opinion, I did really like BvS and now view MOS in a more favorable light. I'll admit that the overall aesthetic and story of BvS was not what I would have liked, and weaker than Mavel in many aspects, the thrill of seeing the best interpretation of Batman and WW ever put on screen skews my favorable view of the movie. I did like SS and have no idea why that was crapped on by critics, but it could have used more Batman I hope they nail JL. Still can't dissuade my enthusiasm for the Affleck Batman and have all 3 HT versions pre-ordered as well as the Mezco versions!

 

[Sevreed]

This line is selling good because of how popular Batman is and always will be. He's a merchandising dream, and he's a icon. Plus, even most of the people that weren't thrilled with Batman v Superman still liked Affleck's Batman and his scenes in the movie. That rescue scene is awesome, classic Batman. That's why it is selling.

Precisely.

Them "missing the mark" is entirely subjective and is contingent on what your single purist preference for what you feel is "the right way" to approach these characters. If your single purist preference leaves no room for any other interpretation of the character based on the many different renditions over the decades, then yes, that will cause you to think that any other film that deviates in any way from what you feel the "right" way is, "missed the mark".

I hope my exclusive converts. Jumped on a couple hours after it went on the waitlist. Think I'll ride it out and not jump on the regular waitlist.

How would you prevent fraying if you didn't melt it with fire though? Is a heat gun strong enough to sear the edges?

I think it's pretty condescending to say that because people didn't like the portrayals in BvS they are only willing to accept one version. As if the portrayals are unassailable and it's only the narrow-minded that took issue with them.

Clearly, many people who have accepted many versions of these characters were disappointed by this take. True, missing the mark is subjective but WB seems to agree that it missed the mark. They don't shake up a team that is just about to start filming because they were so thrilled with how they hit the mark.

That is true, but I also think it's myopic to say these portrayals are "wrong" simply because it doesn't fit into what some people feel is the "right" way is to portray them. They're just as valid as any of the other many interpretations over the years.

For the record, there's absolutely nothing wrong with having a certain preference on how you like a certain character portrayed. However, I feel that doesn't inherently mean that any other interpretation, or an interpretation that attempts to encompass many different eras of that character in one, is by default wrong. Of course you have the basic canon, but I feel there's many aspects of a lot of these characters that are open to interpretation.

I don't consider myself a purist. I had no problem with Superman killing Zod in MOS. Also wouldn't have had much of an issue with Batman killing in BvS had they given it more weight, and emotional drama. They didn't, though, and Snyder's main excuse seems to be pointing at other films where Batman has killed, so his Batman killing shouldn't be a big deal. Yea, way to go champ. My main issue, much like it was with Nolan's Dark Knight and Dark Knight Rises is they have taken the "super" out of super hero. All Snyder has done is make Watchmen again, but this time it stars Superman and Batman. I have no issue with a more serious take, but these things have been serious as a heart attack, and just not very enjoyable. And people will say, "Well just wait until Justice League! Wait until MOS 2!" Blah, blah, blah. That's all fine, and dandy, but when Superman is going to be a supporting player in one film, and the other film isn't even guaranteed, you'll excuse me for being a little impatient when it comes to wanting to see a Superman who doesn't have a giant pole up his you know what.

Also, when a director says his idea of having fun with a character like Jimmy Olsen is putting a bullet in his head, and also openly admits that he didn't give his heroes a lot of dialogue in costume because he doesn't think it would be taken seriously, I think it's pretty obvious he's the wrong fit for this material.

Ah well I'm sorry you feel that way, but I personally enjoy them.

 

[dominishin]

Him killing off Jimmy like that was a big WTF, and yeah, he just brushes it off like haha who cares mate!

Snyder makes it pretty clear he hates Superman.

Seeing a simple superhero movie where the hero is nothing but super is way too easy and predictable. We all know these guys can kick anyone's ass and solve everything

I agree, I don't think there is a wrong interpretation but I think there are one's that don't resonate as much as others because they don't tap into what the character tends to encompass for most people. I think that is what most people mean when they say and actor or director "gets the character".

Superman in BvS is a good example of that. If you asked people who Superman was, most people wouldn't respond with "a somber hero who is conflicted with his place in the world, trying to decide whether he should help or not" even though that has been part of Superman throughout many stories.

 

[ShiftyMoccasins93]

This is my favorite part of an upcoming release. The inevitable arguments of the movie lol

My sentiments as well. With this interpretation of Superman for instance, it focuses more on the "man" aspect of it than it does the "super" part. We al know what he can do, that he saves the day, etc., etc. But who is he really and what does he struggle with? Just because he's "Superman" doesn't mean he's spared as far as having no feelings or internal struggles.
