Jazzinc was in talks with Universal to do the DeLorean and thought they had it until Hot Toys announced the 2nd film Time Machine and couldn't do it, so I assume its the same here?
Things could have changed, but Joost in one of his videos said he will steer clear of anything Hot Toys does. Joost does great work with the DC license, but it was clear from the video he doesn't want to get into a competition with them.
I’ll be honest, and, maybe, it was an unrealistic expectation: I was kind of hoping the bat was metal and/or plastic with a magnet and removable from the chest plate.
That might be more of a stunt material. Those days were rain soaked so the armor does look darker than other photos of the armor I've seen.
I'm honestly fine with it not being that because knowing Hot Toys, those magnets will start falling out and people will lose that batarang left and right.
I think they’re going for something that looks like a police belt.
