Ridiculously funny? That's a bit much.
I don't find either funny, and I don't really get the 'dorky' thing either.
Putting all nostalgia aside, I think the 89 suit is the best.
As far as a cliche, that's a bit of a head scratcher. You might as well say all Batman suits are a cliche. Its a man in a batsuit with all the accoutrements of, well, the Bat-suit.
I mean, you wouldn't say the new Mustang is so cliche because it has wheels.

Ugh, the more I see the 1/4 to this now a bit more of me cries.
Look how feeble the shoulder curves are.

Well yeah, all batsuits are cliché in essence, but nolan's batsuit was made realistic(other than the bat ears, it's like a complicated jet-black kevlar) while the '89 batsuit would look too cartoon-y for superhero films today.Ridiculously funny? That's a bit much.

Does anyone know how to fix/remove this?
Not sure if this is scratch/damaged? I bought this used and didn't noticed this. It looks like a water mark it also is on the side of the cowl.

That looks like a rub mark. If something's painted a flat/matte finish and rubbed enough in one spot it turns slightly glossy. I have a mark similar to that on the forehead of my Tony Stark fig.

Thanks, I guess I need to repaint this thing then, there is a big mark on his side too. I know it's not too much but it's bothering me.
Now I just need to figure out the right paint for this. And also the guts to paint this.

Can you not contact the seller, if he was not honest upfront about this?

No more cartoon-y than the Begins suit and much less cartoony than anything in the Avengers.
Boil up some hot water and dunk the head in for a few second. Some times that will get rid of those shiny surface marks. It worked for my Medi head. The water doesn't need to be scalding ,just really hot.

Re: HOT TOYS : MMS DX 12 - The Dark Knight Rises - BATMAN / BRUCE WAYNE Full Specs &
Not true. The armor does serve a purpose. It's body armor first and it's theatricality second.
"Hey, what is that?"
"Some kinda body armor, he's human after all".
The 1989 suit is what started the idea that he wears full body, segmented armor decked out in black. They used rubber then, and Schumacher and Nolan followed. He wasn't supposed to look like an armored, bat inspired motorbike SWAT guy with a helmet. He's supposed to look like a giant, 6 foot Man-Bat. What is going to strike fear into criminals and convince them more? The MAN that is clearly wearing heavily paneled armor with these massive football player shoulder pads (with a nice, velvet looking cape to boot) or the man that is wearing an animal looking suit that looks like a cross between a man and a beast with a leathery, skin like cape (that actually lifts his "wings" like a Bat for the full effect)?
It makes perfect sense that Batman would make his armor plating look like actual physique as opposed to armored plating. Why would he want his enemies to know he's not only fully decked out in armor, but also merely a mortal man that can't take a bullet or knife? When they see all these panels, the knee pads, the elbow pads, the shoulder pads, the neck brace, what message does that send? That the guy is vulnerable. Compare that to the guy that appears to be wearing nothing more than a target and a belt that EATS bullets, falls "dead", and then seemingly appears to rise as a ghost from the dead due to his hidden armor.
The segmented muscle armor makes sense. It still serves the same purpose the TDK armor has with it's protection and bullet proof functionality, the plus side is that it looks like he's not wearing armor at all. If anything, the TDK armor is "cheesy" and frivolous from a flourish perspective because it's so in your face. The Begins suit got the point across and retained the animal quality whereas the TDK suit just went into overkill. It's like a Batman-soldier toy variant where the armor is the focal point, not the Bat aesthetics. The practically hidden Bat emblem on the "Bat bra" of the TDK suit is proof of this. It's all about function, not style, when the suit should be a little of both. It also makes more sense that the 89 suit's vulnerability points are on the sides and back behind the cape as opposed to, you know, all the vulnerability open points those jigsaw panels create on the TDK suit.
It also helps that the '89 suit is a helluva alot closer to this,
Than these,
It's also the only one (along with the Returns suit) that makes the cape and neck area look more organic with the neck than the others that use the silly cape clips and Superman cape tucks. The '89 cape and cowl look like it's a part of him, like those are his wings. The others? He's clearly wearing a cape.
