InArt - The Batman 1/6th Figure

[Aybaig]

Yo, I’m ok with that! InArt can do the big hitters, and maybe Jazzinc can take on the ‘less complex’ ones?

And those most wanted characters that nobody's been making. Yesss!

But we didn’t give them feedback early on. At least I didn’t. It has to be spelled out for them. Again, also a general consensus needs to be reached and support.

Not trying to say I do it best, but that’s why I mark up drawings and comparisons. I literally try to spoon feed it to INART as simply as possible. It worked with Phoenix Joker and for the amount of feedback and criticism they’ve received for Superman, I bet we will see revisions as well. Lots of blatant inaccuracies. @potatocorner4life also marks up clear and concise comparison drawings as well, and I think that if we all did things like that it’d go a long way. Truth is, is that this type of feedback wasn’t really present since the beginning for Batman. Not until more recently. And especially not on Facebook which is where people should post critical feedback.

INART kinda does listen to critical feedback, but I do think the more blatant the inaccuracy the more reason they’d have to optimize it. Also, as far as certain details, it really depends on what they referenced as there’s various hero and prop suits used during film production. For example, in the film in certain scenes, the pants aren’t that baggy like in that picture inside the mayor’s house.

It doesn't help either how much push back you get from people for pointing out innacuracies.

Yet those same people will rush like a flock of seagulls to drop $70 on a replacement collar, just because everyone else is doing it.

Was there ever a “sequel suit” that was considered a downgrade from the first?

these are the few that come to my mind: blade 3, Batman in Justice League, Batman returns…

The Batman’s outfit felt like a mix of “gotham by gaslight” and “Arkham Origins”…it felt robust and a little haphazardly put together.

Like so:

Dark knight suit is a downgrade from Begins. Justice League suits* are a downgrade from BvS.

Batman Begins > TDK
Batman v Superman > Justice League
89 Batman > Returns

Problem with Batman movie suits is that they tend to think he needs to upgrade in tech, which means he should be covered in additional armor and plating. Just ruins the simplicity that these suits should have. With Pattinson, if anything, they should have his suit become more streamlined and less busy looking. Sort of like the reverse of what Nolan did. Go TDK -> Batman Begins as Bruce becomes more confident in his ability as Batman. He shouldn't need more armor and protection, he should have less as he improves his use of shadow, intimidation and gadgets.

This suit works really well because we're very clearly seeing a young Batman. One that's only in his second year of doing this. His suit shouldn't get even MORE busy and messy looking in the sequel. I'll be disappointed if that's the route they go with it.

Well said. That's exactly what I'm expecting this time around. I don't see it getting busier, but perhaps more streamlined.

As such, I don't believe this suit will lose its relevance with a second film. Nor do I see another suit necessarily turn my attention away from this one. I like it the way it is. Rudimentary in some sense. It's unique from the rest.

 

[Scout Trooper]

Allow me for a moment to show some love for the Returns suit. I don't consider it a downgrade, nor do I think it's better than 89. My preference doesn't lean one way or the other. I think both were fitting to their films.

Also, this may be unpopular. But I've grown to like Returns more than 89. It's a bold film. Criminally overlooked. I appreciate that it's more singular to the director's vision. It's more Tim Burton. More heightened. More stylized. And I love the winter setting.

The scene where Selina trashes her doll house and brings out her inner Catwoman.. one of my favorite scenes in all of cinema.

Are we even talking InArt Pattinson anymore at this point?

 

[Luisenigma1]

I honestly hope the suit in part 2 looks like what Bermejo did with it being more streamlined but with his style. If it's more like this then I'll be very happy.

THIS!!!!!!

Exactly the reason why I love The Batman suit. Hopefully they get even closer to the Bermejo look for the second film.

TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!

 

[Aybaig]

Wish they make the cowl and cape exactly like this Bermejo Noel Bats

And give us white lenses like this for at least 1 sequence in the movie. Ahhh!!

 

[Cap'n Cook]

No thanks to white lenses and the ears are way too short on that for my liking.

TDK is (to me) the best overall Batman movie - super polished, well written and executed, etc - but...

No Batman iteration has ever come remotely close to the world they built for The Batman (the cinematography and production design across the board is next level), and likewise the suit. I've never bought a Batman item in my life, but I bought the JND of The Batman because that suit (again, to me), is superb, fits the world, and that timeline.

When I look at the Nolan suits now, particularly the cowls, I don't really like them anymore; they feel very dated. Who knows, I might feel the same about this suit in years to come. But saying that, the original Keaton suit is timeless and still looks great.

Each to their own, I guess.

Sorry for off-topic, I just could not resist.

I hate everything about the Flash movie and don’t give a rats @$$ about it…

But I read somewhere that Keatons Batman universe wasn’t EXACTLY the 89 Burton film universe and more of a “well it’s so damn similar it can be considered the Burtonverse”

But if it is exactly the burtonverse…that movie and the people that greenlit that stupid @$$ decision can burn in hell.

What a STUPID way to end that universe. You bring back a beloved version of the character only to unceremoniously kill him??

He's supposed to be back at the end of the movie, as a result of the changes that affect the timeline bla2, but replaced with the other Bruce Wayne for whatever reason.
Then he's supposed to appear again in the canceled Batwoman movie.
So BatKeaton's supposed to live in the original plan.. but now he just pepsied.

The Inart one looks more like human, but after seeing 4k videos, both don't look like Pattinson

JND is perfect i guess

 

[Earth 616 Collector]

Yes brother. Already in prototyping stage. He hinted at starting with Batman 66 figures. Licensed and affordable. That's gonna be insane!

Didn't Joost recently come out in the last couple months and say he was no longer going to do the 66' line? I'm pretty sure in one of his live stream interviews he said with how well Mars is doing with the line and their cost, he didn't feel like it would be profitable for him to do it now. Unless that's changed very recently, I don't believe that's happening any more.

Routinely checking my emails for Kits invoice….

 

[potatocorner4life]

Found the main problem with the cowl, it's really the jawline width making his whole face shape off. The nose actually is okay, could be longer but it's pretty similar to JND's. I tweaked the proportions and it makes a significant difference in the headsculpt. If there's a way to heat up the sides to push it inward and have a custom faceplate that would look amazing.

 

[bk9196]

This is the shot that sold me and convinced me to sell my HT and get Inart.

To be practical, this is the ideal distance from which i will be viewing my figure. So I am happy with it.

Although there are some very noticeable concerns about this figure and Inart as a company itself.

1. The mechanism knocking the eyes
2. When viewed close, it’s not accurate to pattinson. Pink lips and blue eyes make him look like babinson.
3. Unmasked head is definitely small. Very much noticeable when viewing from front.
4. Batsignal should be usb and not batteries. Big chance missed.
5. Bruce wayne figure is defintely off. Not sure what, maybe the pink lips, but something is off and inferior to racoon headsculpt.
6. Inart as a company, they didn’t address any of the feedback’s for the cowl. They lied. They put their full focus on unmasked racoon sculpt or they had some technical difficulties which delayed this figure release.
7. Proportions are their main usp, but i guess the backlash they received for joker head being too big made them make this Bruce wayne head small. The joker head was never big in hand. It’s correctly scaled when it’s in a sitting position in the bench.

Inart can do better considering they are releasing only 2-3 figures per year. I hope the production speed is also improved.

Happy to be getting the standard batman and batsignal

I actually prefer the unedited one personnally.

Lucky you. I can‘t even tell the difference.
