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

[batfan08]

Agreed, I am willing to give Affleck a chance....but I like my Batman dark and brooding, not wise cracking.....we do not need another wise ass superhero. one Tony stark os enough.

I think the suit looks very good, very Miller esque....the neck is Way to thick, bad design....he looks like he's wearing a cervical collar.

Honestly, I'm sick of dark and brooding Batman. I'm tired of him being an emotionally crippled 8-year old in a 40 year old's body. I want the '70s Batman and the TAS Batman. The guy who was able to cope and wasn't always pissed off about mom and dad. He did what he did so other kids wouldn't go through the same thing, and he wasn't a ****ing psycho, like Miller's Bats has sort of evolved over the years. It's pretty much the same interpretation as The Animated Series Batman. Though, in TNBA, Beyond and JL/JLU, he got progressively darker (while still having a good heart), he was sort of a swashbuckling hero with his deadpan sense of humor.

"On Leather Wings," for instance; one of the opening exchanges between he and Alfred:

Batman: [reads] Gotham Police declare war on Batman.

Alfred Pennyworth: I gather you've been reading, "How to Make Friends and Influence People".

Batman: Somebody's setting me up.

Alfred Pennyworth: My heavens! You mean it wasn't you tossing guards out of windows last night?

Batman: I only toss butlers, Alfred.

That is, in many eyes, the definitive version of Batman in any media, and even he isn't all "Daaaaaarkness, no parrrrrents; super-rich, kinda makes it better."

Where did Hot Toys State this ??

I'm glad HT is publicly stating that this will be updated.
Looking forward to seeing those results!

Personally I'd like them to make the suit a fabric very close or identical to supermans for articulation.
The neck looks a little too thick and loose those luv handles.

On their official photos of the Toy Soul exhibit on the Hot Toys Facebook page, their photo of the updated Batman had the accompanying caption:

Must have missed that. Glad to see they acknowledged the fact that they are continuing to work on the figure.

Trench coat bats easy pass. Love the armored bats. Regular Afleck bats growing on me. Liking it more. Video makes him look better. Wish the bat symbol was smaller and also darker color on underwear/shorts area would have helped him look sleaker. That's the trouble with a one color body suit. Just my opinion.

I agree. Anybody can be angry. It's the lowest level of emotion and thought. Batman is an interesting character because he works to be smarter than everyone else. He doesn't just sit around being angry about his parents. The brooding psychopath part of his personality is just a one trick pony. It gets old quick.

I don't think it's the death of his parents that Batman will be angry about in this movie. Seems more likely it's the death of Robin that's sent him down a darker, more angry path. Would be cool to maybe see a flashback of Batman and Robin together where he likely would have been a bit more upbeat and happy. Not sure it will happen in this movie, but maybe we'll see it in the solo film.

Think that's my one gripe with the BvS Batman costume - it needed trunks/pants or something that appeared like them - protective cod-piece type thing. Superman has an all blue costume, so would have been nice to differentiate the two. I think the Arkham batman look would have worked in live action.

Hell when he releases may get some trunks made for him to see how he looks. I love the arkham look.

Trench coat batman is a pass, regular looks ok and I could see myself pulling the trigger. Definitely more batman than nolans suit.

Armored batman looks way awesome. Looks just like he jumped out of the pages of Millers classic book. As a comcbook fan primarily that always seals the deal for me.

I was very much anticipating the HT Civil War lineup. After seeing the costume designs and then the figures, not really feeling them.

These figures? Yeah, I'll take them all, thank you. Love that Batman.

 

[Echo 7]

Yes i agree awesome indeed !!

[nightsurf]

anyone can guess if hot toys wil give him neck articulation or will it be like batman 89?
I personally hope HT will give us the articulation for the sake of variety of posing

 

[Unclechopchop]

Isn't this version of batman pretty much suppose to be a Frank Miller type batman, where he's kinda grizzled and whatnot? I'm pretty sure there's a reason he looks like this

Exactly why I loved that exchange between Caine's Alfred and Bale's Bruce in The Dark Knight, as they were leaving the temporary Batcave. The light moment amidst the conflicts they were facing was golden.

The EX Batman Superman set that will come with everything will probably sell out fast right? When it hits pre-order, probably not worth chancing 3 months for a coupon?

 

[FSLAR]

You could probably get the extras separately, maybe.

That new pic though, wow. Just...great. The suit, the physique...I do want a close up on the head but still, very nice
