Agreed.
Very cool!
Nice idea with the hand cuffs. And one of these days I gotta do that "I killed the bus driver" pose.

Love the cuffs. My Joker's been running around like that for a couple months. Can't tell from the pic if those are the Hot Toys cuffs, but I found a pair (not sure which brand they are) that are metal and are much better quality than the HT. Got them on ebay last summer for around $6.
Oh, and the Bank Robber pose is excellent. It's the perfect pose for that figure.

Great futzing, but totally out of character.
The contrapposto pose is hard to pull off accurately. And this is very well done.

It's kind of dark right now, so I'm not 100% sure, but they seem pretty close, if not identical - the Joker's coat might be a little bit lighter in shade, though.
Of course, the inner lining of the Joker's coat is bright red, and Harvey's is black (even though it was bright red in the movie)

If you mean breaking the PERS it was done by being somewhat careless.
I've had the head for a little while now and have moved the eyes on occasion without a problem, unlike an unfortunate few who've had theirs break quickly. As a result, I thought I was lucky and got a strong PERS in mine. Nope. I just was VERY careful with it because I was aware of others' misfortunes who weren't forewarned. I got careless when moving the eyes (showing the head to someone), looking from behind instead of watching the eyes to make sure they didn't get pushed too far accidentally. While adjusting the eyes I did look over from the side and noticed one eye wasn't moving, then the other stopped too and the joystick suddenly became much easier to move. 
Damn thing broke!I removed the joystick panel to take a look at the PERS and the joystick ball socket center hinge looked like it would be castable. So I pushed in the eyes from the front until they popped out using a blunt tool wrapped in plastic. I super glued the PERS center hinge back together (it had split in half and without it the joystick is useless) and looked at it to see how I would add to its sculpt to make a stronger casting that would hold up better than the original. Problem is, once I removed the hinge pins (using a push pin) I realized one of the eyes' own hinge wings had snapped off!
I glued it back on to the eye and realized I would have to reinforce that too! 
All of this seemed like too much work for right now so I heated up the inside of the head with a blow dryer and reinserted the eyes/PERS. Somehow I was careful not to rebreak the joystick ball socket center hinge again.
For now, I left the joystick panel off so that I could move the eyes without using the joystick. Funny thing is, I have to do this while watching from behind again!Hopefully, Hot Toys have addressed the Joker PERS failure with a stronger system for the Bruce DX. It definitely is a fragile system, perhaps too fragile for something that's supposed to be moved with a joystick.
I'm going to write Hot Toys to see if they will offer a replacement. If not, I'll look at the PERS again when I have free time and see if I can't reinforce it somehow without really altering it.

The PERS was already better with Bats, and even better with MJ. DX Bruce will be fine.

Cool! Good to know. I haven't purchased DX Bats and forgot he had the PERS too. I also have no interest in Michael Jackson figures so I was unaware of one having the PERS. Thanks for the info! I'll see if I can find pics of the acutal system to see what they did with it and might make adjustments to the Joker head I have based on them.
Darthrazz, sorry, I shouldn't say Bruce here with no last name if it doesn't involve Mr. Wayne. Bruce Lee is who I was referring to.
