I find myself popping in the 89 film to watch about every other month or so. There's just something about it where I don't really get sick of it and always find myself wanting to watch it every once in a while. Great movie.
Agreed, but I think the narrows in Batman Begins conveys "Gotham City" on par with the first Batman and better than the whimsical wonderland Burton typically uses, and used, in Batman Returns.
I hated the production design of Returns. Giant statues? WTF?

Burton's Gotham City and it's people are in a fantasy world and the atmosphere matches it. Wonderful stuff.
Nolan's movies are in a more realistic world (at least the illusion of one) and comparing both directors takes are impossible and pointless. Both are classic.
Oh yeah I forgot about the Narrows! I kinda hoped it would be in the Arkham City game

exactly so!
Either Burton Batman fans are far less particular about details or HT really managed to nail this first time out.

There are only 3 issues I have with it,
- PERS panel on the back of the head (function & aesthetics)
- No alternate gold/mustard brown belt like the prototype had (small nit pick)
- It shouldn't be a 1 piece rubber suit, it could have been more like the DX 12 with a under suit with segmented armor plating over it (accuracy)
That's all I see. If that panel wasn't there, I'd forget about the belt and construction of the suit and say this was 100% perfection.

Your referance to the belt on the proto made me go back and look at the proto pics
It did just strike me that the eyes didn't come out exactly like the proto on the final figure. They seem bigger and dare I say slightly more cartoony on the final release. One fears for the DX10 T-800.

This figure is one of HTs best! It was my first HT and still is my personal favorite.
RE: Vitos post - Are you sure thats someones in-hand pic or could that also be the proto?

I can't wait to see the next Keaton Batman (Returns armor version) . . .
Here's hoping they don't **** it up. Hopefully there isn't a PERS panel on the back of his head and he has a darker color belt. Make the suit/armor, gauntlets, boots accurate, throw in all the new gadgets like the new Batarang and the cape glider and give us a Bruce Wayne head sculpt and I'd say it'd be a home run.
It would compliment this version very well. Still not sure which version will stand next to the Batmobile.
Then there's also the 1/4 version of it which will no doubt be similar to the DX 12 and 1/4 QS 001 scenario.

That is this figure's best feature IMO, best figure so far to have PERS,best Batman figure so far from Hot Toys, can't wait to see the Returns version, wouldn't mind them reworking the PERS maybe like DX12 but, i'm fine with the hidden panel option all over again.

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong, I think the PERS is done extremely well on this figure. The eyes are fantastic. I just don't like the execution of the panel. It's the only unrealistic thing about it. For me, it ruins the aesthetics of the cowl.
Thankfully it doesn't ruin the portrait or the front of the figure, just parts of the profile and the back.
Then again, there is a plus to having the panel in the back, if something goes wrong it's easily accessible (I think Maulfan mentioned this too). I mean, what happens if the PERS gets damaged on the DX 02 or DX 12? There's no way to access it.

Sell some of those extra Terminators and some Nolan Bat stuff to afford it.
Also, wedding money? WEDDING GIFT!?!
