Hot Toys DX09 - BATMAN - Batman (Michael Keaton) - Specs & Pics

[MarfMaster]

I think in B&R there were a total of 500 grapnel saves, hell, even the grapnel had its own grapnel save.

It was like a grapnel orgy.

Is it grapnel or grappling hook?

I thought it was "grapnel gun" but I could just be making an ass of myself.

EDIT: roger that!

 

[Wor-Gar]

But there's also 'grappling hooks'... now I'm confused again.

Is there a difference?

Doesn't really help in the context of Batman gadgets, though

 

[Wor-Gar]

They seem to be the same thing essentially.

 

[MarfMaster]

Yup, gotta love unnecessary distinctions.

I want one.

I want to jump off the Empire State Building and see if I can shoot it and catch onto something while my 285lb body is falling at 150mph.

I bet that's what Nolan said to Goyer the one and only time he tried to write one in

 

[Wor-Gar]

It did always look painful when Keaton Batman yanked to a halt on the cathedral.

The Scroomacher ones at least seem to stretch out to slow the descent.

I bet even if I got lucky and I was facing the right way and not tumbling over and over, with the same luck % needed for hitting the lotto, that even if my grapnel caught onto something that could hold my weight, the stop of the fall would immediately rip my arms out from my shoulder sockets



Edit: I want the stretching cables

i still love batman forever, i dont get the hate for THAT one. it was just great fun. sure not as dark as the other 2 were but still not at all the level of B&R. val wasnt bad but keaton is the best no question. for my money, keaton had presence on screen that i find no other batman actor has matched.

Me neither, B&R is the only clear and total failure imo.

Batman Forever was good but Two-Face Tommy Lee Jones sucks.

B&R > BF for me

Because at least the bad in B&R was entertaining.

What am I saying, both suck!

 

[jesperbernhardsson]

Haha, according to BBTS, Joker will be released before Bats..
Seems like in the collectors-bussines, setting a date is not the easiest task!

 

[S. Griffin]

Batman Forever is horrible and Tommy Lee Jones' depiction of Two-Face was the least of its problems.

Batman Forever might not of been great but Nicole Kidman was smoking hot in it and both Two Face and Riddler were far better than Mr Freeze and Poison Ivy/Bane from Batman & Robin.

There's not even a character from B&R I'd want to see made into 1/6 scale, a proper Hot Toys Riddler from BF though would be full of win though. For the record though I cant see Hot Toys bothering with either film.

 

[Animal Mother.]

BF came out when I was around 12-13, so it was the last Batman movie I got to have that little kid excitement for. I discovered a WB Studio store around that time as well, so it helped with the hype. Ate tons of the McDonalds Batman Forever they came out with, and collected the glasses.

I found the movie itself fun at the time, but not badass in the way I found the last two movies.

It's like comparing a pile of dog ____ to a pile of horse ____. One might be a bigger pile of ____ and stink more, but both are complete crap.

Had to give it that premium look yesterday. Yellow should draw your eyes to the figure.

I really love your base. I agree it does give it that premium look. Yellow and Red are two colors that stand out the most in the color spectrum. It is very hard to look at the figure with the yellow base and not feel the weight of yellow drawing your eyes down. Your base relaxes the eye to give the figure 100% attention.

The yellow logo looks like a very, very last minute thought and cheapens the overall look. Looks even worse with the Joker!!!

Don’t get me wrong I will still be making the purchase..........

 

[DiFabio]

I'd buy the ____ out of Hot Toys Batman Forever figures despite not even really wanting them. Really, what we have now, '89, Returns, Begins and TDK is enough for me.

As long as Hot Toys didn't include the nipples on Batman and Robin's suit, I'd buy em. Say what you will about Two-Face and the Riddler, but in 1/6 scale, those figures would be cool as hell. The crazy ass tailoring on Two-Face's two toned suit is right up Hot Toys' alley. They'd kill that ____. It would be a crazy acid nightmare. Riddler would be cool, closest you'd get to an iconic, Frank Gorshin type Riddler. As for Batman and Robin, I'd think they'd be as interesting as the Keaton and Bale figures so far. They'd be cool standing there heroic, in a detolf. 1/6 Kilmer Batman, 1/6 Robin.

Only character I'd buy from Batman and Robin would be AHNULD freeze. But that would be $200 plus dollars for the LOLZ.

I'm in no way petitioning for them to be made though. I don't even care. However, if the characters mentioned were made, I'd buy them.
