They should make the DX compatible with the bat pod.
They should also get rid of that ridiculous smiling mouth and replace it with a screaming mouth from that epic scene:

"Hit me!"

"AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!!!"

I agree. Or at least, tone down the expression so it doesn't look like he's smiling.

I don't see myself ever displaying him with that expression. Might just leave it in the box so I don't lose the tiny piece. Well, maybe it'll look better in person. I dunno.

For the emotion it conveys, I much prefer the pissed mouth, but the one everyone dislikes, I actually really like in terms of portraying Bale, it's almost like a signature with him, sort of like the way Stallone's lip curls in certain situations. Bale's got very interesting lips and they make some unusualy shapes sometimes and it's very defining, lips are often where sculpts of Bale go wrong, HT's Wayne's and Connor are lacking it. He almost looks slightly duck-billed at times and that sculpt for this figure really captures that.

I agree, the smiling duck bill is actually quite accurate, true to the actor behind the mask. In some of the angles, the smiling mouth looks eerily lifelike. I'm probably not going to use it a lot, but I can see how great it would be for a photographer. You can capture scenes like Harvey and Batman talking. with these multiple mouths we get a lot of fantastic options, six if you include the sonar head as a different look.

I understand that the open mouth expression is supposed to emulate this:

But it's a bit too extreme to me, too much of an upward curl on the left side, makes it look like a grin.

Kinda off topic but I really have never liked how small the mouth opening in the cowl is. The Burton suit (which I still really like the Returns suit, flaws and all) has a much larger opening which I like better. Hell looking at Batman Begins screenshots I think even the Begins cowl had a much larger (but still too small imo) mouth opening.

Yes, Begins had a bigger opening. It's funny, I think the DVD, somewhere there's a comment about how the TDK cowl's the Begins one with the neck cut off, except the nose is redone, the mouth opening shrunk

I like the minimized skin showing of the Nolan costumes, it makes him have more of a creature presence than a dude running around in a suit. Instead of being Bat-man, he's more like the Bat.

I shall stop reading these threads.
I always start out being amazed by the looks of all of these Hot Toys figures until I read how many inaccuracies people here find. I guess ignorance is bliss (harp playing in background, me chewing on a virtual steak)

I actually prefer if the whole mouth is covered (like Cassandra Cain's suit or to a certain extent the Beyond suit) but if the mouth is going to be exposed I like when the opening angles back from the nose at a sharp angel. The sort of round hole on the Nolan cowls bugs me.

I agree, it is a little too close to smiling Batman. This expression would be the least used for my display.

Except that the HT CEO confirmed what we see is what we will get.

Apparently so... although from what I have read it was a bit like "Big Al says dogs can't look up" I don't know if I believe big Al or Mr Toys or the interviewer/listner, until it arrives it is still not final

To me that's a huge difference, the chest was way to massive and front protruding on the v1, they've greatly reduced that.

I think in some shots it looks better than others. Out of the original announcment promo shots that wookster posted on page 1, ok there are some shots where it does looks a lil boobie but there are some where the chest looks fine imo.

True, but I am firm on the fact that this is the best we are going to get, with no changes. Which is a shame.

I doubt that, look at the recent Terminator Salvation figure, it was even added to after it was released, I'd be really surprised if they have finished work on this now and will just left it sitting for the next four to six months waiting for release? highly unlikely.

i was thinking they were trying to emulate this:

but either way, this expression is quite inflexible...

They should also get rid of that ridiculous smiling mouth and replace it with a screaming mouth from that epic scene:

"Hit me!"

"AAAARRRRGGGGHHH!!!!"

my thoughts exactly. there's a lot more potential for that expression in a figure:

Kinda off topic but I really have never liked how small the mouth opening in the cowl is. The Burton suit (which I still really like the Returns suit, flaws and all) has a much larger opening which I like better. Hell looking at Batman Begins screenshots I think even the Begins cowl had a much larger (but still too small imo) mouth opening.

actually, one common misconception i noticed is that the cowl opening on the sides are vertical. they're not. they look vertical if seen directly from the front, but in actual fact bale's got a much sharper face and the opening extends backwards towards the sides of his face. i think HT has not managed to deliver that.

look at the shots below and see how much is lower face actually protrudes from the cowl... and compare it with the interchangeable mouths from the DX that are pretty much flat. if you ask me, the face needs to be resculpted (sorry HT).

right now, the mouth section on the proto looks a little... smushed

even on the original suit... see how far the gap pulls back at the sides:

The head is resculpted and to me, better, a notable change is a better job on the shape and size of the cowl nose. Of course, the movable eyes is new.

anyone else think the eyes are too big and puppy like? i think they should make them smaller. i did a quick shop on the eyes as well as cowl opening just to show how much more accurate this figure can be...

i won't make further comments on the body, i think most people have the same thoughts. but i really do think work needs to be done on the head, and the neck needs to be rethought. somehow medicom constructed the neck in a better way. it should be thicker, with the segments portruding, almost collar like. if done right, Wayne's head can even go on it properly without having to use the nude neck.

that's all i have to say. this figure is gonna be great... i ordered 2, i just hope they make the improvements because they sure as hell are capable of doing it.

when i see this pic:

it reminds me totally of magnuz shot of the medicom:

it shows how accurate and beautiful the medicom is. unbelieavable how they nailed this figure and all the other figures are looking horrible...
