Prime 1 Studio - 1:3 Jim Lee 'Hush' Batman

[Hewitt89]

But why would you want veins showing through on comic based statues, when they generally don’t in the comics? Especially a piece like this which is directly based on Lee’s Batman but he doesn’t draw him with veins through the suit.

You can't be serious... comparing hulk who wears purple pants which are way thicker material and the colour wouldn't allow you to see veins as easily. This batman looks like he's wearing a flexible fabric which would 100% show veins, I'm not saying all the little ones in his chest but 100% the bicep vein. Look at the size of his arms they are bigger than most pro body builders and he looks about 2% body fat

You die or almost die, at 2% body fat. Pro bodybuilders go on stage at around 4-5%, sometimes higher depending on genetics. I'd say Batman as depicted in most comics is around 8-9%.

Again, they just stuck to Jim Lee's artwork, that's how he depicts his characters and their goal was to recreate it the best they can.

Who am I to argue with your "fake anatomy" logic?

I know that's why I'm becoming less interested in this statue, bat man would realistically be sitting around 12% bf if he wanted to have a good chance when in combat. I've looked at the Jim Lee art which this was based off and It looks like he added the bicep vein... Jim Lee also didn't exaggerate the obliques at all.

I thought it was a realistic take on the comic? That's like saying why put detail on his suit when it isn't depicted in the comic lol

It's a fact, google obliques and serratus and then look at the way they did Batmans, it's a joke especially for the angle he is leaning the obliques should be way longer and the serratus 1/2 the size of the obliques...
Atm it just looks like he has a second six pack stuck to the side of him
In fact funny enough they actually did the obliques and serratus right on the New 52 batman and that's an armoured suit

It's a fair point, but IMO Prime 1 isn't going to make any changes to this along the lines you outlined. So sounds like you won't be getting this unless you like the current sculpt as-is

Overall I love it! I just keep finding small issues with this but no doubt it's amazing.. I've never considered a batman in my collection until I saw this and New 52. Both insane batmans overall

My only complaint on this piece is the position of his legs. The statue looks awkward in some angles because of it.

Yep, that's my main issue with it as well. Hoping it comes with a COH facing more directly forward too. I'll wait to see what the black variant looks like. That may make me reconsider this piece. That said, I'm definitely passing on the blue Bats.

I wouldn't be surprised if the position of the head on the proto was influenced in part by this drawing.



P1 likes COH's so I'm not worried, also maybe they'll listen to fans as they often do, and change the angle a bit.
Really hoping for one where he shows his teeth Noël style, I like angry Batman.

That would have been a better pose, imo.

It's a bit more static, P1's pose is really catching Batman in the middle of something.

I'm good with the pose honestly, I get why some people don't like it but it works for me.

I agree, and I hate myself for serious considering to order him. The face sculpt is amazing, the musculature is ridiculous. I love the inferred action about to happen in the pose.

 

[Rotfish]

Such a cool angle.

Can't wait to see it in black!

Only the blue goes black right? I'm sure someone will do a photoshop to get a visual reference.

yes, but they may also darken the grey a bit.

I got bored. Dunno about darkening the gray, but I reduced the yellow tinting caused by the convention lights.

 

[Fastball Special]

I just wish he wasn’t crouched so low. It looks awkward. But still has great details.

damn nice! Great job and thanks!

I think I’ll stick with the blue even after seeing what the black should look like. Blue is pure Jim Lee and I’m sure will look amazing under cabinet lights. Plus I heard the black is going to be hard to get hold of, even more so in England here for me.

I'm going Blue Jim Lee too, there will be other black 1/3 bats form Prime 1 including the Finch

Really nice, thank you. Love it in black.
