____ I want this figure. I've never been this floored by official HT pics.
I'll probably post this same sentiment every week, more or less, until release.
and you won't be alone my friend.
Will be very awesome displayed with Chris Reeve Supes...
I'll be displaying both this guy and the 89 Joker together, Supes gets a different display area.
I don't see either film as particularly smart or dumb. Nolan's films are thematically layered, but they hardly require a Rosetta Stone to follow.
The biggest difference is that Burton's film is a mysterioso film noirish fantasy (much like the original Batman of the 40's) and Nolan's approach is to be more grounded and "realistic" (though the notion of Bruce Wayne/Batman being even remotely realistic always makes me chuckle). The Nolan Batfilms are almost not even genre films... they're well crafted crime films that just happen to be about Batman. I think TDK has more in common with movies like HEAT than any Batman comic I've ever read. And that 's perfectly fine, actually. I like the different interpretations. It's just silly to compare them directly as they have very different focuses and approaches.
People do throw around the "masterpiece" label way too liberally with TDK, though. It's a solid film, but if you really think it's a masterpiece you probably need to watch a lot more movies.
I'll be displaying him next to my 1/6th scale Mickey Mouse figure.
Now all we need is a good Linda Carter Wonder Woman figure:
