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

Not much difference there. I just want the Return villians. Catwoman would be my 1/6 godess

who would be better at 1/6, catwoman....or black widow?

Yeah, besides the mask, the emblem, the torso armor, the arms, the legs, and the boots, there's not much difference.

Returns suit looked MUCH better on screen than that shot lol

Looks like a Halloween costume there

In other words, 89>returns.

Might be on the minority here, but I personally preferred the returns suit, to the original suit. Cleaner and sleeker IMO, as opposed to the original, which looks a bit home made and crude, and have that sovereign studios vibe to it

Lots of options here,

- '89 Batman and '89 Joker KEATON VS NICHOLSON showcase display

- '89 Batman, '89 Joker, TDK Batman and TDK Joker Classic/Modern Batman film display

- '89 Batman and '78 Reeve Superman Worlds Finest display

- '89 Batman and the Batmobile

Hell, Batman alone on a shelf or detolf under a fancy light with all his accessories would even be cool.

If I were as obsessed with Batman as I am Terminator I would buy a Batman for each of those display options. Any one of those combinations will look stunning. Wish I had the money and space to go for them all. However I'll compromise by trying to put all of those items in as close proximity to eachother as I can.

Worlds Finest display for me.

Same here, I prefer the returns one but still love the 89 suit. Either way I want both in my collection.

I like the sleekness of the returns cowl, and I prefer the boots (although the Batlogo is maybe a bit too much). The body armour is cool, but I like the '89 one too. Really hope HT get the Returns license aswell.

Agreed

They are both a must have for me as well.

I agree I also prefer the returns suit, it just looked much better on screen than it does in that picture on the previous page

 

[MaulFan]

Too me, the ab armor on the Returns just looks too bogus, it almost looks like window blinds. I would have loved to see the 89 suit design with the refined materials available in Returns.

 

[IrishJedi]

Pretty good comparison of the two suits:

'89:

RETURNS:

I find the '89 suit to be more timeless. The Returns suit looks like a dated Kenner action figure.

I'm so glad that Hot Toys' figure looks drastically better than the actual suit it's intended to be. The cowl fits terribly there, but Hot Toys made it look like what it was supposed to look

 

[stshammgod]

I like the fit of the cowl on Returns better, but the 89 suit overall.

You mean like Val Kilmer and clooney bat suit?

 

[DiFabio]

Eh, personally I like the Returns suit. It's a streamlined art deco version of the original '89. I like that the ab armor plates is reminiscent to the front grills of a 1920s-1940s car.

Now do I like it more than the '89 version? No, but I certainly don't hate it. It fits the look of the film. In fact, I don't think there has been a "bad" Batman film costume yet except maybe the blue Clooney suit and the Ice Armor at the the end of B&R. Every one to date has a distinct look that I like.

My favorites are the '89 and Begins suit, but I really don't have a problem with Returns and TDK. Hell, the Forever suit, sans nipples is great too and I think the Sonar suit is even better.


With that said, I'd buy a Hot Toys Keaton Batman V2 (Batman Returns version) in a heartbeat. Not only would we get new accessories and weapons but that would be cool to have the '89 and Returns suit displayed next to each other. We'd really start to have an evolution in the costumes with '89, Returns, Begins and TDK.
