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

[MaulFan]

I actually have some pure black fabric left over from some capes I made a while back...just trying to figure out the logistics of actually draping it inside the Detolf without it looking like ____.

Just my take, but I feel like a simpler background with that lighting will look cool, you'll lose his overall shape against the backdrop, but the highlights will pop up, much like the lighting of the movie.

also i dislike people saying im opiniated when they are as well. kind of hypocritical if you ask me. face it, everyones got opinions and thats just the way it is. if you dont like mine, well too bad. but ive said my piece and im finished here.

You wanna know what's hypocritical? Calling others pompous fanboys when the only one here who is behaving like one is you.


Also, being "opinionated" is not the same as having an opinion.

i thinkt he big difference between us is that i love burton films BECAUSE of those so called "imperfections". thats what makes the movies fun and entertaining. i was never a critic. i dont go "OO JEE WIZ WAS THIS MOVIE ACTUALLY WELL MADE? LET ME THINK ABOUT DIS" and then attempt to critique it. i go by how i felt watching it, how it effected me emotionally. when i watch a comic book movie i want to see exciting visuals, not everyday boring stuff i can watch on an episode of CSI or NYPD. i still love those original films far more then anything that came later. i feel the new ones while perhaps better made STORY wise, just lost the emotional impact for me. i just felt the new movies were boring, in every aspect practically.

There's plenty of stuff un-CSI about the Nolan-verse. Hell, mostly all of it. Please. It's funny earlier you mentioned that you try not to even talk about the Nolanverse because you get criticized...well almost everytime I see you your bringing up how Keaton has so much"screen presence" and Bale is phony or whatever. You do it all the time dude.

Moved around the light in my Detolf so it's slightly off-center, resulting in more natural lighting on Bats instead of the harsh lighting directly on him. Pretty happy with the results. Looks a lot more natural.

I desperately need a backdrop for this guy, similar to the one that came with DX Indy. No idea where to even start looking for one, though.

Nice job right there!

Hey! Folks that ordered from Toys2 I just got my shipping notice!

Aw you lucky devil, Zombie Jesus has failed me.

As soon as Zombie Jesus bent over and his stomach started gurgling, just the way he was standing I was expecting him to fire one off. I also thought Jesus shouldn't have had taco bell before his crucifixion.

How are Crow and Maglor getting there capes to look so heavy, i just can't seem to get it, are they ironing them?

Looks fantastic!! How do you get the cape to lay like that? I don't have mine yet but what form what I hear it's not the easiest cape to lay right. Kinda like my Medi TDK cape.

going to pick mine up from toys2 tomorrow morning!

pics to come!

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Great pic, cr0w!

Mine's been in this pose for the last several days.

 

[Scareb]

Bah, so I guess this means that I am on a second shipment from toys2.

 

[Karnis]

Yep, nothing like a good old fashioned batarang pose.

i know what your saying, the new bat films are extremly different from the last ones. but see, that is what i do NOT like about them. they are too heavy on the realism and philisophical humdrum that i just dont care for. joker wasnt joker for me, just another killer pshycho trying to "prove" some kinda extisential belief or something heavy handed like that. same thing with Ras. just not into them, its all YAWN. i'd much rather watch tommy lee and carrey acting like hyper kids blowing stuff up and laughing like crazy, penguin spewing black stuff biting peoples noses or joker making "killer" commercials useing his smilex and not the brand XSSSSSSSSS. the older movies were fun, plain and simple. the new movies miss the fun and fantasy of batman, and i didnt experience the same feeling of excitement that the older movies had.

I'm curious to know how many Batman comics you've read.

Of course you left out the part where TDK is the 2nd highest grossing movie ever and made over a billion dollars. That's not alienating many.

Now I'm not sticking up for Nolan's version because I agree with you to a point -- I believe there should be an element of fantasy to the Batman world (although B&R is just inane to me). I also believe Nolan's Batman is a little too CSI at times considering there's a guy in a Batsuit running around. I don't believe the Nolanverse will be remembered 10 years from now quite as fondly as it is today. Not saying people won't like them, just mean the ecstatic reverence will soften. I think people will look back at these as somewhat dry, stilted and emotionless.

I'd be willing to bet every dollar I have in the bank that you are wrong about that. I was at a party just last weekend with a large group of non-comic fans and all but one person preferred Nolan's Batman to Burton's Batman. And you couldn't be more wrong about being emotionless. Truth be told I'll never understand this debate. People just can't deal with change. The true Batman fan would find a way to enjoy both.

 

[Alex Logan]

This is actually a second HS I received and bought and I still have another bats coming.

Oh believe me, there is no way I would've attempted this, much less, actually nick up the cowl if this wasn't a spare.

When my second Bats arrives, I'm going for the whole suit BD look, including the cape. Can't wait!

But for now, I'm happy swapping HS so I can have the two different versions to display.

Again I can't stress how great this figure is to work with.

Nice, very nice. You scared me for a second there.

 

[Alex Logan]

well thats your opinion which is all well and fine, but im sticking with mine. frankly im just tired of all the fanboyism and pompousness surrounding nolans films, which is why i rarely say anything about those movies. it almost always gets out of hand and lots of nasty things said on both sides. so i will in this case just agree to disagree.

And yet, by saying the things you've been saying you fall into the same category on the Bruton side.

The difference is I like both for what they are.

No "fanboyism and pompousness" here so...

i tried likeing the nolan movies. i really tried. i remember being excited when begins came out as i was leaving high school. but.......i was dissapointed. i thought things would improve with TDK but i was even MORE then dissapointed, i was downright pissed at what they did to joker. thats a character i wished they HADNT changed so drastically. burtons penguin i thought was a great change simply because in the comics, he is a BORING character. but joker? hes never boring. so i didnt feel they should have changed him into a greasy painted up dirty harry scorpio-ripoff. i understand the need to do something "different" with the character, but they could have gone in many differen directions then the painted up emo bum they went with who burns money and no classic joker gags at all. and please dont get me started on his "scarecrow". ha. burlap bag man. i have since renamed him SINO.

but that is just how i feel about nolans "changes". just not crazy about them.

This explains lot. You don't understand the need to do something different, but they could have gone in many different directions? That's a contradiction.

Nolan presented his Batman in a realistic type world, as real as he could make it that is. I love both, but I'll take a Batman who can turn his head over one that has to turn his whole body any day of the week.

 

[Alex Logan]

Exactly.

I feel the Nolan Bat movies on a deep level. I am emotionally effected by them. They give me chills (literal goose-bumps), and even bring me to tears. The Burton films don't. And neither does CSI.

You are my new drinking buddy.

you obviously havent been to the SSH boards...

...nothing BUT fanboyism and pompousness. thats what i am more used to. here its a bit more tame, but i am used to nerds jumping down my throat for even THINKING about hateing on nolan. so thats what im talking about.

also i dislike people saying im opiniated when they are as well. kind of hypocritical if you ask me. face it, everyones got opinions and thats just the way it is. if you dont like mine, well too bad. but ive said my piece and im finished here.

It's seems like you're a little too opiniated... I don't get that feeling from the other guys.

There's plenty of stuff un-CSI about the Nolan-verse. Hell, mostly all of it. Please. It's funny earlier you mentioned that you try not to even talk about the Nolanverse because you get criticized...well almost everytime I see you your bringing up how Keaton has so much"screen presence" and Bale is phony or whatever. You do it all the time dude.

This is what I figured, someone has an axe to grind. Thank you for confirming it.

Very curious to see this. I bet it will look great.

No way!!

Gotta run down there too then.

 

[jocal62]

Would I be messing up the PERS if I unscrewed the back of his head, just to see how it actually works? Has anybody tried to open up the back PERS assembly?
