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

[Titans_No1_Son]

Yeah i'm pretty sure that's how i set up my chain of events.

 

[thenammagazine]

Yeah, 2 separate things need to be secured:

1. Property/Brand License (Batman - Warner Bros/DC)

2. Actor Likeness Rights (Jack Nicholson, et al)

A lot of times Hot Toys has to secure things via both routes (as they did with the Arnold PREDATOR figure, for example and as they're doing with these Batman figures). But sometimes the license holder also has full rights to actors' likenesses so the licensee (Hot Toys) would only need to deal with them. Such is the case with Lucasfilm properties. Lucas' contracts with the actors is such that Lucasfilm has all of the rights and say for all SW and INDY products, even an actor's likeness. Believe it or not, someone like Harrison Ford has no say in any Indiana Jones or Han Solo figure that gets produced. It's just Lucasfilm. But this is not always the case with all properties. In fact, Nicholson was one of the first actors to secure his own likeness licensing deal with Batman.

Hi Maulfan!

That did sound like a MaulFan post. Informative and well written. Is that a bad thing?



More importantly, is this a brown-nosing post? :/

 

[SHOCK-Advised!]

Let me be the first to say I can't wait for Mags to post his take on this figure when it comes out

Inside joke. You're too much of a newb to understand.

Im guessing we will also have a Val Kilmer and George Clooney Batman from Hot Toys in the future

 

[Tortfeazor]

Not trying to get too far off topic, but I just watched Forever the other day. Val Kilmer would've actually made a decent Keaton successor had they taken the material seriously. The suits are actually kind of cool, too.

 

[Dead-Man]

If Kilmer or George Clooney Batmans do get a hot toys treatment i'm not Getting them.. To have any of these two on my Shelf i'll just Remember the Days that Batman Sucked in movies.

Good work getting the thread back on track.
What figures did you push back to make way for the Batman?

Was thinking One of the IronMans IV or VI

But since this is a Childhood Hero, they had to make way

 

[SSC EX Hunter]

I ended up selling my DX02 for the 89' pair of figures

Good choice, i was thinking about getting an Iron Man IV aswell but between Avengers and Iron Man 3 i'm sure they'll release another Iron Man that i'd like.

 

[chRd]

sold my DX02 as well to save some for this.

 

[Butters]

It's a Must Have!

And the Joker.

And the upcoming Batmobile.

This year and next.

But...
