Doesn't he come with a smiling mouthpiece?
That would be cool but honestly I think I'd rather have one of him looking pissed off. The way the BD mouth should have been. Any interest in making one of those?
That pic is from returns I think. Maybe theres a chance
That pic is from Returns. WHat's a chance?
That we will see a smiling sculpt from Hot Toys when they release their 1/6th line from Batman Returns.

Nice work there.
Been going 14 hours straight on this de-lined cape inside blackening. Let me tell you honestly, I tried dye, paint, leather dye, fabric marker, sharpie, spray paint etc. nothing gonna not wash/rub off. This thing looks/ behaves like suede but its some kind of synthetic creation. Nothing is doing the trick.
But I got it looking great with a few light washes of acrylic paint and a fabric marker over lay then hours and hours of rubbing to break down the fibers to get it to be as flexible as before I coloured it as well as remove excess color so it won't rub off as easy. You could rub for months and eventually it would all come off, nothing's staying on this thing permanately not even straight acrylic paint.
I sprayed the thing with leather protector as well hoping it will act as a sealant but it still rubs off. To the light touch though, it's fine. The suit is black plus I have another body so I could pose this one without worry. Ill get another belt too just in case this one stains. The way I look at it is it should be fine even if its not permanately tinted and I don't think it will stain my fingers when I play with it or anything.
I'm hoping this will know look like the batman I always wanted it to and be deserving of the praise its getting,
For those de-lining. You'll have to make a choice weather you want to color it and risk the color coming off onto the figure or to live with it being gray.

eBay most likely unless you got a local comic shop/toy shop near you. SS has been long sold out.

Thanks!
I won't get a chance until tomorrow night.
I am thinking of doing it too! It looks amazing!
As you may already know - sand little by little and recheck often. One thing I should have done to make it easier was to use a sharpie marker and blacken the complete backside, then as you sand off the back you can check to see how uniformly you are removing the material. You don't want to remove too much off of one side because it might appear lop-sided.

Cheers for the video but facking hell,man! You're a better man than me, I'm much too lazy and impatient to color mine. 
It looks great though. Easily the best. 
On a side note, isn't it always funny when you finally hear someones voice from the forum the first time and they sound nothing like you thought they would. Same goes for pics. It's weird how we automatically get mental images of the people we see post everyday.
