I think its really good, the more I look at it.
Not only is the likeness definitely there now, but it seems to emphasize more Keaton's Wayne portrayal of Bruce always looking kinda confused, or his mind thinking of several things at once.

He's Batman, he has a lot on his mind...

Just curious, which suit do you guys like better, the 89 DX09 "body armor" or this Returns "armor"?

Returns.
89 is cool, but Returns looks like a much more refined 89 suit.

Welcome back, DiFabio, great photoshop job. Looks much better.

From a design standpoint, I like the Return suit better. It looks more like body armor, which is what Batman should be wearing.

The 89 suit's muscles give it more of a scary "monster" vibe, but that's completely impractical - because you're not going to be making out those details in the shadows anyway.

Great Photoshop, but what's throwing you off from achieving the best Michael Keaton likeness is the fact that what's available to you to play around with isn't the best Michael Keaton to begin with.

But keep it coming, you're getting warmer. I'd say from your edited photo, make the mouth wider.

Their current Keaton prototype looks more like Leonard Nimoy as Spock than Keaton

The JC Hong photos from so many pages back are, quite frankly, the best Keaton I've seen, at least so far...

Did you just elongate the face? Big improvement there.

Just seems to be a thing with HT sometimes, round squashed faces.

Also, about time you came back!

I'm sure, that headsculpt will be the one we'll get.

Back on the relative merits of the various Batman universes, just as The Animated Series was an antidote to the shortcomings of the Burtonverse, I've found the Arkham videogame series a similar antidote to the (almost perfect) Nolanverse. They're the closest thing we have to a cinematic Batman experience that balances realism with fantasy.

Of course, Bats vs Supes might be good also, but I feel this whole JL thing is a little rushed.

Great job! Looks a lot better after you elongated and thinned out his face/head. I think what's still throwing it off though is the jaw. It needs to be shortened a tiny bit and narrowed as well. Keaton's jaw is more "V" shaped. In your modified pic, the jaw wasn't modified much and still looks too prominent and square shaped.

Even if i love the cowl in returns, the 89 suit has always been my favorite. it has something more animal and organic in the texture.

wow this figure looks stunning, especially that cowl!

Would've gotten this instead of the DX09 had it came out first haha...

Just wanted to make sure that there isn't an exclusive or anything. There are just two versions of this piece correct? The solo batman and the two-pack with Bruce wayne. No other versions that come with extra stuff? For all my big talk I may cave and get this anyway.

No exclusive, just two versions.

- Single Batman
- Batman, Bruce Wayne in tux, extra stand bonus mask and cowl


Looks like it was already taken off the Sideshowcollectors banner. That's funny, Zombie Ultron and PF Batman are way weeks older. Surprised they didn't get the boot to make way for Vision.

Yeah, that's probably the best shot of the figure yet. There's nothing that gives away the fact that it's a 1:6 doll. Looks like Bruce Wayne as Batman.

The sculpt is fantastic. Hopefully the final product lives up to that image.
