Sorry if this has been asked before, but was the suit really that rough in the movie? I feel like the noisy texture on the body is too exaggerated, or at the very least too large.

Still impatiently waiting for the official blogger photos announcement.
Yeah think too the suit is too textured.
It’s less rough and more sleek IMO.
Still don’t understand why they pronounced so much the lines under the eye’s holes…
That's just the weirdest smile to lock into a face plate. A fleeting moment in the film that breaks Bats usual gloomy demeanor, now frozen in an attitude that doesn't really suit the Batman.

It definitely has more texture to it. At 1/6 scale it often is used to help the texture appear visible by making it slightly more intense. The original had texture but less pronounced.
The showroom piece is also being blasted out with harsh lighting, which makes the texture really have contrast. It should look more natural in a normal display, like the promos.
There’s definitely some inaccuracies. The belt not being more gold and the belt canisters being so large bugs me the most.
It’s still a good-looking figure, but there’s some curious choices made here.

I believe the material used for the suit was also rapidly degrading, Which could give this aspect, but but a little too exaggerated by Hot Toys.
.
Exactly that.
The fact is that you have to know very well the movie to read Keaton in this sculpt.
For non trained eyes, the smirk faceplate of DX09 was immediately recognizable IMO.

Man the DX09 still has some of my favorite prototype photos. Just looks so good. On the waitlist for this figure unfortunately. Couldn't decide and took too long to PO

Love everything except the excessively rough finish on the body suit. Shame they chose to do that.

Well this turned out great.blogger photos released
Ok…
For my taste, suit and cowl are way too textured. Like if they wanted to do a melted battle damaged effect.
These are the two shots where the sculpt works.
Out of that, I don’t really see Keaton IMO…
It’s a solid figure and a great release but looks like more a generic Batman 89 figure which looks like Keaton where DX09 was 100% Keaton in the suit.
For the moment, DX09 still gets my preference.

The third face is unusably terrible.

I scout for details...
Nice looking figure. But I don't see Keaton..
I'm still waiting on Bespin Luke from OSP/PAF. It's gonna be 2026 before I get this guy.
