HOT TOYS - DX15 - Batman Returns KEATON BATMAN

[FSLAR]

That's what I'm saying. I look at Forever/B&R as a futuristic version of the '66 show, hence so many gadgets and gimmicks. The nipples are really the least of it's worries. The best part about them was that they were the "necessary evil" that enabled Nolan to be able to give his take on the franchise. Anyway, nostalgia aside, there's actually plenty of eye-rolling moments during the two Burton films, as well.

Probably not a bad view, I can see what you're talking about. The Burton films did have some weird moments, but overall, I think they're at worst, solid films on their own. I just wish Returns didn't become far too Burton like compared to 1989, which had a good balance of Burton, and Batman/comic elements.

Actually it's been said many times that Joel Schumacher wanted to make Batman Forever a dark film... But WB wanted a brighter Batman because of how Returns was reviewed... So I really dont blame Schumacher... I blame WB... Forever still is close to me as that was my first Batman film I saw in theaters...

I don't know about Forever, but WB did force him to make changes. I know that much. That said, Forever was my first Batman film too when I was little. It's not the worst film ever, and it gets points for trying to be decent. Though my next film was 1989 good times

The thing about TDKR that bothered was no mention of the joker, I think that is actually disrespectful to not even mention him or his work, contrary to Nolan's belief of not mentioning anything for respect.

I'm anxious to see the release of this fig, the farther the preorder window the more crazy I get.

Yeah that's really weird - did none of the citizens or inmates ever question what drove Harvey over the edge? There were a lot of times where it made no sense not to mention Joker. Every other villain and some other characters like Bruce's parents were mentioned, but no Joker?

I like the way the material looks on the cape. Wish they'd futz it better though.

The cape looks too thick somewhat...works for the DX 09, but doesn't look as good on this fig imo.

More Returns... so far no accessories bummer...

I may as well just get another one as I plan on displaying mine like this as these two costumes are too nice to have the capes always covering them.

I wish they'd stop posing the figure with it's cape over the arms.

Huckin' Fell, as nice as this looked at SDCC, it looks like total crap at STGCC. Guess Batman Returns isn't a big deal in Singapore.

Well it's not like Hot Toys is trying to sell it off/advertise it. No accessories, no gear, and lighting that makes it look like it's being lit by ****ing wax candles.

SDCC was much better and people were enthusiastic about it. This show it's like, this thing is in the back corner by the trash can.

DDV was great as the Penguin. He just had the misfortune of following Jack.

Threw this together... As much as I love Returns, this holds a little more to my heart as Batman Forever was my first movie I saw in theaters... But I wish they would reveal Returns accessories atleast....

 

[YankeesFanboy]

I hope the ripped cowl alternate head isn't a point of contention. We've wanted it/demanded it/speculated on it so much, it'd be a tremendous letdown not to get that.

I'd love Forever figures, personally. I think a lot of people tend to lump it together with B&R because it's the same director, and I was guilty of that, for a while, but, I got to thinking about it, and it almost seems like, tonally, it's more akin to the 89 film than Returns was. It was a lot of fun, growing up.

Don't give Hot Toys any ideas. I saw that pic for a few seconds before reading your post and thought it was legit.
