ill scream if they reissue him with all of the flaws he has a decade ago, but I'm going to be honest. ill be shocked if they release him over whatever keaton is wearing now in the new flash movie. if he's still a brick of a figure without modifications so he is able to move his arms comfortably without them going back because of the rubber and fat suit. ill accept a 2.0 if they're revisiting 89. a lazy reissue with a new dio base and calling it done is unacceptable. that mk5 with the new dio while the mk5 just came out is an absolute slap to the face to collectors who just acquired the figureI might be wrong but they are probably waiting near the Flash movie to finally announce the "reissue" of this guy
Yep this was terrible.ill scream if they reissue him with all of the flaws he has a decade ago, but I'm going to be honest. ill be shocked if they release him over whatever keaton is wearing now in the new flash movie. if he's still a brick of a figure without modifications so he is able to move his arms comfortably without them going back because of the rubber and fat suit. ill accept a 2.0 if they're revisiting 89. a lazy reissue with a new dio base and calling it done is unacceptable. that mk5 with the new dio while the mk5 just came out is an absolute slap to the face to collectors who just acquired the figure
a lot of people are going to be very happy if 89 does come out again, probably not some collectors that probably paid a leg for this figure. ill be happy if it comes out again, might pick up another one to make him battle damaged during the final moments in the movie. they've been known to tease things and never follow up, but who even knows. it foggy to try to understand hot toys when padme just came out, it'll give people hope that others will join the pre order list. but I'm not buying it, part of me thinks they just pulled it out of storage and plopped it down for people to see. its still riddled with the awful trashbag capeYep this was terrible.
Also I do think if they were release/revise they might do both suits, this and the Flash suit. I just can't see why they would tease it without releasing the thing considering it's Batman and not a random character
I'm one of those that paid a lot for this figure and i don't mind if it gets re issued. Admittedly i was a little annoyed when the reissue was rumoured as i had JUST bought the figure the week before that lol. Talk about bad timing. But that base and bat computer would be cool to get, so i don't mind getting a second one. If they make improvements, even better. I paid even more for the joker, but i don't think he'll ever be re issued. I thought it was funny the bat computers had the one frame of the smilex ad that didn't have jokers face on it, that told me everything i needed to know about Nicholson ever getting re issued. Besides, if there is a re issue it's years away. So I'm not mad i caved for the old figure. It's still a great figure, theres things they could improve but i doubt they will. The one that was on display had broken PERS as well as someone pointed out.a lot of people are going to be very happy if 89 does come out again, probably not some collectors that probably paid a leg for this figure. ill be happy if it comes out again, might pick up another one to make him battle damaged during the final moments in the movie. they've been known to tease things and never follow up, but who even knows. it foggy to try to understand hot toys when padme just came out, it'll give people hope that others will join the pre order list. but I'm not buying it, part of me thinks they just pulled it out of storage and plopped it down for people to see. its still riddled with the awful trashbag cape
A re-issue should be easy money for them. If they released a Kilmer Bats with Robin I don't see why they wouldn't capitalize on a straight re-do.After the reveal of the Fash Batman new suit and Batwing , I don’t see HT putting effort on 89 stuff anymore.
But who knows, I’m maybe wrong…
Will there really be more interest in 70 year old Keaton with his new suit than the classic 89 and Returns looks? I'm finding that hard to believe especially now it seems events in the Flash won't lead to anything.After the reveal of the Fash Batman new suit and Batwing , I don’t see HT putting effort on 89 stuff anymore.

Exactly ... for HT to even bother with an old license (they seldom do anymore) makes me think a re-issue is a no-brainer. But they seldom do what makes sense in these situations.Forever figures never have been done before.
They rejected a Batman Beyond pitch with Keaton's Batman. That's... that's like the BEST case scenario for a Keaton return and they said "nah, let's only put him in this multiverse paradox movie with Ezra Miller and a low-budget Batgirl film we had so little faith in we can cancel it after it's done filming".I honestly think there would be more interest and respect for old-man Keaton Batman , if they detached it from the Flash movie, and developed it as it's own thing.
Somehow extricate and salvage his scenes as their own stand alone mini-episode, and released similar to a Marvel/D+ streaming "Special Edition" featurette actually about Burton's Batman.
Batman Beyond's Batman is very much it's own thing, if anything pulled more from the likes of Frank Miller's old Man Batman (aka the grizzled Eastwood/Callahan take). Or more so literally repurposed Old man Zorro [which had just come out] passing his legacy to the next gen.They rejected a Batman Beyond pitch with Keaton's Batman.

This I agree with, hence suggesting/wishing they could salvage and extricate it from the Flash, and make it it's own thing.Keaton Batman is the ONLY thing I'm interested in for the Flash movie, so I'm more than happy to just YouTube the "all Keaton clips" down the line.
All for it^, yet that's continuing Keaton depicted in his prime though.That said, 89 Batman is still widely loved (hence why they even are bringing him back, and he's a key selling point to salvage their Flash movie). They even continued the 89 universe in comic form from the original screenwriter lately.
(It's a pretty solid read too. Would have loved a film adaptation, in an alternate universe.) Give me that '89 Batman re-release.
