Depends which Batman movie / Batsuit design you prefer. Personally I prefer Batman Returns as a movie but I prefer the look of the 1989 Batsuit.

If you want to pose your figure though I would go for the Returns figure easily, Its the first time in a while I have handled my 89 Bats and man does his articulation suck! Basically you cant pose 89 Bats in any other pose other the standing bolt upright with his arms down by his side, the lack of ratcheted joints on the 89 body means the rubber suit simply pushed the arm/leg back to its original position, this is not helped with the body underneath probably getting looser and the rubber suit getting harder over time. The Returns figure does have ratcheted joins so the rubber suit cant force the leg/arm back, meaning the fig can be put in a number of different poses.

Batman Returns Bat Sign on his chest is also better imo.

Wow the legs have ratchet joints too, I know they probably aren't the best, but at least they can hold a kicking pose somewhat right? Couldn't get the DX09 to hold anykind of movement no matter what I tried

Arguably no figure looks cooler in a museum pose than Keaton Batman anyway so I can live with the restricted articulation even though there could have been a way to do it better.

That is why I don't mind in this case, this Keaton is a keeper in my collection for sure, despite the lack of articulation, the detail is incredible, hopefully this gloved spike breaking issue doesn't become a huge spread out problem..I'll know for sure in a couple of days when mine arrives

Sorry to hear about those spikes. And congrats on getting this before Fabs does, dev.

They do display quite nicely with the DX figures.

Nice pics buddy!
Very cool natural poses too.
Ung...trying hard to pass on returns...but I think I may end up getting him eventually.

After Returns Batman, I have no other interest in any other current/preorder HT figure in the catalog. Sure there is sadness as missing the feel of anticipating the next interested offering but more I am very happy of my "lean" collection and pleased with my self discipline. It's crazy I look forward and see nothing my heart desires. At the same time look forward to see what new figure HT will create to stir my interest again (Penguin? Ripley? Unknown?)

Other than SW and the occasional AOU left and CW, yeah not that much to look forward too until B vs S

Same, except for old man Arnie in Genisys. Movie was a bit of a turkey but any Arnie fig from HT I'm a sucker for. Will have to see BvS to make my mind up on those 2 figs.

I don't think it will sell out because of the Keaton Sculpt and lack of articulation just yet, but then again, it's Keaton Batman so who knows

If you can afford it, I'd say go for it and leave it the box until you have the room

I just realized that by getting that Grandpanator figure, I also support the notion that the other Arnies are wiped off existence based on the movie's canon, so no thanks!

More like Mattel and their non HT B Vs S line, sheesh, can't believe five months to go, and already cranking the figures out, at least SW waited until Force Friday

Talk about a potential marketing disaster if the movie bombs

The toys will still sell. It's Batman and children love it.

Their are collectors on this forum who happily still but a HT figure because the figure is good despite the film not being brillaint.

B v S might end up being terrible but I bet we all still buy the figures

Wonder Woman in a live action movie is the reason why I'll at least pick up the HT, Figuarts and maybe Mafex versions
