Hot Toys Justice League Batman

One of the most important aspects just looks completely wrong on the JL bats. The chest. The HT BVS/SS chest is done WAY better.

Also don't like how shiny the damn HT JL suit is.

The cowl design is trash, but that's obviously not HT's fault.

That’s a really good pic for sure.

I dunno, the JL cowl design—in the ZSJL movie, at least—at times looks pretty cool. Still not as iconic as BvS/SS though. But sure enough, on the figure itself it just doesn’t measure up to BvS (or SS reportedly) for me either.

For the people who own both the Knightmare and this one, which one would you get if you could only have 1? (BvS and SS excluded)

I would like to know that too

Definitely the Knightmare one. That is such a great and unique look that really brings something new to the character.

This is my current Knightmare display.

Yeah, I forgot that. It's not shiny at all in ZSJL. And it's certainly not black.

I don't own Knightmare. But from every video and pic I've seen I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess it's gonna be Knightmare in a landslide.

I'm beginning to feel a project stirring within me, lol. I think that with the right modifications the JL Batman can still be can be an even more awesome figure.

1. Repaint the suit an everso slightly bluish gray. But it would be essential to nail the color in ZSJL. It's just the slightest hint of blue.
2. See if anyone has already custom redesigned the cowl to improve the look, and use that instead. If I can't find one then I'll try widening the neck with shims. And repaint the cowl.
3. Custom cape? Maybe not since in this cape the stock cape is pretty good.
4. Chest mod.
5. Leg mod.

If mine doesn't sell I'll hold onto him for that project. I want him looking like this:

* My bad GreenRanger-Kush, I didn't even read that stuff in the parenthesis until after I typed the whole diatribe below. haha. Threw some photos in there for comparison for your question though.

I like the Suicide Squad Batman just based on the way the figure is shaped up. He just looks menacing to me. Knightmare Batman is cool for its unique look, but with it comes with the gauntlets and hands struggling to stay put due to the coat sleeves. Also the Knightmare Batman has some goofy legs (or maybe it is just my figure). It is like they don't lineup right or something. It just be looking odd in my opinion. With that said, I am in line for the ZSJL 2-pack though, haha. As far as the JL Batman figure, it just seems like his upper body is short and don't go with the legs HT put on him. Plus the way they have the abs defined on him in that blocky style is another thing. I'd prefer the SS mid-section, but he was like that in the movie so can't really moan about that. I did like that drape of the JL cape, so I put that on the SS version as the other cape was a bit unwieldy and too much brown for my taste.

I also like the Armored Batman figure (the grey looking one) over the Battle Damaged version and JL Armored Batman (figured I'd mention those since they over on the shelf).

Long story short all 3 figures (SS, KMBM & JL) are cool in their own right, but my personal preference is the SS figure.

That was a great read! And the pictures are absolutely incredible, very well proportioned, which makes it easier for me to make a choice.....
When I scrolled down I first saw the Knightmare, and I thought, ''Wow, that's the stuff, I'm going to pre-order the 2 pack''. He is indeed cool. Love the 2nd pose.

But then I scrolled down even further and saw all the black and I knew what was coming. The real Batman. Visually it's so much more appealing with it's different tones of dark colours. That is Batman. Love the gauntlets on him which unfortunately aren't very visible in your picture. Knightmare is still Batman, but not really... He is Knightmare Batman.

The difference between these 2 are night and day. And I prefer night.
It's like answering the question, ****s or ***. In a perfect world I would choose both but I have to stick to my 1 character rule.

The body proportions wouldn't be a issue for me, I don't plan on selling it so I'm going to instantly mod his body, if it is noticeable 'bad' looking.





I too preferred the BvS/SS Squad bot after watching the Snyder Cut, and seeing him in some of the shots... This suit is king. Unless you have some BvS/SS pictures to persuade me

I love that scene, seeing him dismantling the Parademon, and you assume its going to be easy, and because Batman got distracted, that Parademon picks him up and absolutely YEETS him across the room.

Reminding us that these guys might look weak, compared to WW, Cyborg and Flash but they are still way, way stronger than a normal human being. Then the scene continues with Batman being overpowered, outsmarting the Parademon, jumping into the tunnel and then..

 

[GreenRanger-Kush]

and when you think that scene is done, nope, the angle switches and it continues, all while Steppenwolf is fighting Diana in the background.

Is this cowl the same as the released one?

 

[RulerOfAsgard]

The tech in his gauntlets was explained to be much more than just armor in the snyder cut. But in WB's infinite wisdom all those scenes were cut otherwise swappable battle damaged gauntlets would have been a cool accessory.

Knightmare was the first figure I sold out of my Snyderverse collection. It's a cool, unique design no doubt, but I got bored of it, even with the upgraded coat I put on it. I am a Superman fan first though, so all Batman figures were sold first The only one I actually regret selling is armored Batman.

Wow! Sweet!

 

[jal76]

Finally tracked one of these down and it should be here on Tuesday!
I passed on it at release because I despised the theatrical release of Justice League and decided that my Suicide Squad and Batman V Superman figures would suffice.
After seeing Zack Snyder’s Justice League I needed this version represented in my collection.
Amazing how a great version of the film changes my entire perspective on the look of the character.

I just love how Snyder managed to give Batman such a good role in the final battle against the Parademons. This is often his problem when dealing with supernatural beings like Steppenwolf, physically he can't really. But I'm always impressed how much time Zack gave to him to be in the action as an integral part, and not simply forgotten as the others deal with Steppenwolf.

That whole final act was excellent !
