[@bellestarr62]

It's SOOOO bad!

[@jorjyogurt8474]

I'm genuinely curious about what actually happened McFarlane did some ugly figures before but this is just☠️☠️☠️☠️

[@floridaman4596]

It's Ben Affleck

[@jorjyogurt8474]

[@sir1179]

holy crap this thing looks like some alternate universe creature batman

[@Samson_Quardav]

The whole effort of this line went into Batmobile and Michael Keaton Batman.

[@badmoonknight5009]

Even Keaton Batman is lackluster.

No it isn’t. For $20 it’s awesome

[@vilebasterd5729]

@@mitchell7309 Nah it's crap.

[@mitchell7309]

Nah I’m looking at it right now. Looks just like Keaton as Bats in the movie. Great possibility and cloth cape. And for only $20

@@mitchell7309 Lol no it doesn't at all. Jeezus does a $20 price tag make people blind nowadays or something?

[@derricksline1982]

I could listen to you talk about figures you hate for hours. 😂

[@Outshined93]

it’s cool they made the grey cowl to match the grey canopy on the batmobile

[@GamingMafia_id]

no way that Batfleck is shorter than Keaton, Dude is 6'4 (Keaton 5'9). That's the reason Affleck bat-ears are shorter than other Batmen, same reason as tall ears on Keaton lmao

[@Novapoid]

Loved this review. I think looking at the ugly yet somewhat accurate drawing featured on the back of the box, I think we might see one of the coolest live-action Batman ever. It's truly a shame we never got to see a Battfleck solo movie. I don't understand how Todd oversaw this "thing" and thought it was ok enough to be released. Looks like a bad bootleg and that's no exaggeration. I also have the theory that they didn't want to pay for Affleck's likeness considering they wantt to leave this Batman behind and that's why the figure doesn't resemble him AT ALL.

[@winstonsmith3370]

Had they gave him an accurate Batfleck head instead of this weird looking monstrosity it would have been passable

[@mitchell7309]

Why? The Ben Affleck Batman was average at best. From Ben Affleck’s performance being rather one note. Besides being an obvious inferior actor to Keaton, Bale and now Pattinson … generational defining elite actors. But also due to Zack Snyder’s vision of a super extreme warped version of the dark knight returns Batman, where he turned him into the punisher, hyper violent, killing Batman is … not the move and clearly didn’t vibe with the majority. Plus he came off meat headed and stupid in BvS. And in JL, either version is either a clown or forgettable at best. Thank god he was fickle and flakey and we got Matt Reeves and Pattinson instead. They gave us something far superior. Pattinson, surprisingly, the best Batman on page and performance ever. Even surpassing Keaton and Bale.

[@craigcharlesworth1538]

Personally I don't like this costume at all. In fact Affleck's costumes get worse with every movie, the one in BvS was absolutely my favourite live action batsuit ever, the Justice League one was only okay. This one is overdesigned and sucky.

[@diegoborges3716]

I totally agree with you. But using the same costume don't make enough merch (and toys).

[@SocraticMind89]

On the contrary, I’m reversed, IHATE HIS STANDARD COSTUME! Hate it hate it HATE it He looks crazy in the world of meta humans, this look along his battle ready suit are utilitarian that make sense in it’s crazy superhero supervillain world, his regular look suit is just plain silly, this figure is only bad in which it’s “the wrong color” (we will see when the film comes out if there’s a variant of this suit” and the Batfleck face sculpt iwonder what happened there, the Shazam and black Adam sculpts were amazing and this flash film is going to be a blockbuster film and mcfarlane toys are the go to toys for the money and quality, idk what happened, this figure looks like a video game incarnation that wants to pass as a film fig

[@robertogurrola7465]

I think this suit is great, I love his normal suit but he looked to beefy. His slimmed version in JL was better, his armored version in JL is my fav but this is a close second

[@faceheadman]

it feels like they smashed two completely different figures together

[@DanB.0]

Can't believe some people were actually reviewing this and saying it wasn't bad or even saying it was cool. The face and neck look like another figure's unfinished parts. I could see it and have never seen it in person! Great, honest review

[@DeviousApple]

I mean if the cowl wasn’t that weird color and the head was painted properly, I do like the armored look

[@DanB.0]

The design itself isn't the issue, it's the end result. It's not just the color, the cowl is too small and feels like it wasn't made for this figure. Aesthetically, the figure looks bad as a figure not in the concept of what they were going for. If it had been done properly, this would be a great idea and figure for sure

[@pants989]

lol! I saw this at the store, thought it was neat that it had a cloth cape and thigh swivels, but the whole thing looked uncanny weird. I've said it before but I appreciate these McF reviews the most of them all because the quality is all over the place.

[@scolioreset]

I’ve seen some weird sculpt and paintings… but this one makes the latest Scarecrow they produced look like an absolute masterpiece for an otherwise fine figure. I’ve seen 3&3/4 inch figures looking a lot better for half the price. If I was given this Batman as a gift, I would be disappointed. If I were giving this Batman as a gift, I would be ashamed.

[@MisterSouji]

I love that THIS is one of the few McFarlane figures with a thigh swivel.

[@joelbalbowski7195]

I absolutely love watching a few reviews before seeing anthonys take. Its hilarious the amount of ppl that love this hot caca. And then Anthonycustoms comes in and just shits all over these figs. No matter the brand lol. Keep doing you Anthony and ill keep watchjng 😂 and dont ever leave darwin out of the end photos lol

[@elliotcha9010]

yooo frfr i love watching these types of vides its too funny XD

[@OxtlawX]

Thank you for saving me money. Great review as always.

[@OverBenthousand]

Which ironically is all I want.. but Amazon canceled my Batmobile the day it was supposed to ship and Keaton Batman doesn’t exist anywhere I look… same with the Batmobile. Pisses me off

[@doctorgiovanni853]

Some of it has to do with those damn, infernal scalpers!

[@choforuiz]

McFarlane is selling because of the characters they are making, not for the quality or even just the looks of their figures, hopefully some day a good company is going to acquire the DC license.

[@Jjjcs]

Nah they have top notch figures.

[@Chadghostal]

its strange that this figure is the 1st McFarlane fig to have actual thigh swivel

[@theextracrispycolonel9504]

Dark knight returns had it, so did Death metal batman.

[@doctorgiovanni853]

This is untrue; Frank Miller’s Dark Knight Returns Batman from McFarlane Toys has utilised a thigh swivel.

[@FigureForm45]

Most Mcfarlane Figures released that are meant to ride vehicles that are also in the same wave like a horse or in this case a motorcycle have thigh swivel. It helps in setting up the figure with the vehicle.

[@insufficientfunds076]

My thoughts exactly when I opened this fig..

[@chiefdan209]

A complete garbo figure that is 100% going to get re-released with the movie-accurate "paint application."

[@sethquigley5136]

This is a question I have for everyone. Out of all the McFarlane Batman figures made from 2022 to today (May 2023), which one would you say is the best one in terms of how it looks? Is this question answerable or is a can of worms?

[@blackcomicnerd3657]

Definitely the Keaton Batman.

[@overload81]

Does azbat qualify?

[@SuperMazdaBros]

Hush Blue

[@paulrippcord506]

Azbat, is legitimately a great figure. It does a lot of what it’s $100+ dollar Mafex counterpart does for a fraction of the price.

[@mitchell7309]

Here’s the list: Bermejo Batman Arkham Asylum Batman Arkham City Batman The Batman TDK Trilogy Batman Flash Batman

[@samlopez5152]

McFarlane should remake this figure for it’s ‘Gold Label’ theme and give it accurate coloring like The Flash.

[@HaitIsHere]

I was excited before to get a new Batfleck figure but then they unveiled this.

[@robertogurrola7465]

Im gonna get it but I have to properly repaint it and swap out the head for an actual Affleck head. But the figure itself I think is good in sculpt and articulation for my shelf.

[@mythical_ds8222]

No wonder why Todd was only excited to hype the Michael Keaton Batman 😂

[@thesaltytrio2521]

Good honest review the figure is ugly as hell though.

[@originalAoitora]

I was looking down working at my desk listening to the video and when I looked up I burst out laughing at that face.

[@ryanbobadilla2527]

Was looking for a mini project and this is it bought 2 of eBay along with a custom head. A repaint to match the grey and dark blue seen in the trailer.

[@MrWafflelova]

I’ve seen The Flash, it actually is very good. I’m not trying to shill - it is one of the better movies in the DCEU for sure. Batfleck is only in it for like less than 5 minutes tho, so keep expectations in check

[@mitchell7309]

That’s what I heard, he’s barely in it. Makes sense that they wouldn’t put much effort into this. Without spoilers how was Keaton? Does he get alot of screen time? Co billing? How’s the action? And how’s Ezra?

[@Blaccwolf36]

I like the suit but i just thinking on taking the Synder cut head and replace it. I kinda like the original face tho..a bit😕

[@lowell3270]

Thanks for the review! I will not be going to see this movie in theaters. This figure looks like Todd in a Batman costume to me.

[@Jas-1119]

Question of the day: I’ll watch it, but I’m in no way wanting to go for the theater experience to see this movie. Maaaan.. I bought this earlier and that face, when he arrived I thought I got a defective figure and almost sent it back. Do you think a head swap and some paint would save this figure somewhat? I’m convinced they’re going to release a gold label version of this guy with either a blue suit (like whatever we’re seeing in some of the trailers) or unmasked.

[@brunneng38]

I bought this solely to see how or if I can “punch it up” with a paint job. And may just buy a 3d printed head to replace the one it has.

[@luckmanandiwidjaja1592]

100% agreed 👍

[@nytrodralyg1860]

This figure looks hilarious

[@petershegryn6771]

What’s with those tactical garter belts?

[@anony-mousse8487]

You are wrong about the movie and the timeline. It very much matters. The Flash movie is the big "Crisis" and "Flashpoint" movie that'll reset the DCU. The Flash is a very important movie to understand the future DCU. it's THE movie that'll reset everything and if you dont watch it youll be confused af with the new Gunn plans. Its Shazam and Aquaman that has zero impact on the DCU

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Ok. Suuuure.

[@anony-mousse8487]

@@AnthonysCustoms Just wanted to clarify that, but it doesn't mean it'll be good tho 😂

[@damionalbarr7961]

[@chrisallen9323]

Ben Affleck is my favorite Batman. I recently got this figure and first impression was that the head sculpt needed work but the sculpting was great. I’m n my opinion batman look better with the full body armored bat suit and my favorite armored batman was the tactical suit fro Zack Snyders justice league and I really like this suit 😊😊😊

[@rhamilton4394]

He is actually accurate to the movie batman suit that they show him wearing in the trailer riding his batcycle. This figure goes with the batcycle for the movie that has also been released at target. He sits well on the batcycle as well, far as being able to sit on the bike and look up while in riding position, but I wont argue with the suit being ugly 😂

[@emuman09]

No it doesn't cos in the movie it has a blue look too it and does not look like this lol

[@rhamilton4394]

[@rhamilton4394]

Yes he is. Look at the trailer with him riding then turning on a street getting off the bike after the cars have flipped in a wreck behind him. He is wearing this exact same suit, minus the cape.

I see up haven't seem the batcycle trailer, if you did you wouldn't still be talking about the blue suit that they show for half a second lol. So I will help you. Batman batcycle chasing scenes shooting for the flash movie/Batfleck. There you see in this scene the suit is clearly black and grey.

[@thestrong2401]

I thought they had just given to this figure the Batman's white glowing eyes effect even though Ben Affleck hasn't them, didn't think it was just a bad painting job lol

[@curseoffenrir]

Oh, so the only McFarlane multiverse figure I have is Lobo and I can’t even find the review for that, but it’s paint apps are absolutely terrible. I’ve seen some great customizer work that made it look amazing.

I really like the action figure, it’s very detailed and cool, but I’ll never see it as a Batfleck action figure, it looks more like an armoured Batman Begins figure.

[@toddg1003]

A truly half assed (less than that) effort by McFarlane on this figure. Spot on assessment.

[@mitchell7309]

Affleck Batman is half assed in the movie. He’s in it for five minutes. Flashpoint was the excuse to replace him with a superior old Batman in Keaton

[@mikepowers9486]

I really wish another company would make DC figures. I prefer Marvel characters but I do get a few DC from Mafex. The Hush ones are pretty good. I only ever bought 3 figures from McFarlane and all 3 went into the trash.

[@darylgarza645]

i noticed that mcfarlane re-uses sculpts/parts from different figures to make "new" figures...

[@graefx]

I just wanna know what happened. Its actually incredible

[@DesignIncase]

We have a better idea of what Batman will look like in the film due to the trailer. But It looks like the blue/lighter grey was added in post. I'd forgive Mcfarlane for probably being given concept art in the black/grey. First off I think the source material just looks awful. It's overly busy. The BVS suit was perfect. The tactical suit was perfect for being an armored enhancement of that suit. I don't know what this thing is. It's like they took all the wrong lessons from The Batman and TDK. This figure. I think the cowl portion would be great for the BVS suit if the cape, gauntlets, and boots were in the same material. The figure though just looks like a mess from top to bottom. Mcfarlane seems a little afraid to go with a big upper torso and a smaller lower torso which would give them the superhero look and the articulation for a forward ab crunch. The figure just seems good for parts honestly.

[@AlphaProto]

Is this the first time Anthony has given this rating? It is interesting that this figure is based on the movie Batman, but has no eye details. Does that mean that this will be the first Batman with white eyes? That head would look nice as a comic Batman, but it does not look like Ben Affleck.

[@heinzaut]

you should review the hero toys diablo

[@rishav-2749]

First 0/10 figure..now waiting for a 10/10 and I'll die a happy man.

[@tombaker6968]

What the hell is happening at mcfarlane's ? Its like everyone is on holiday and they put the coffee-lady in charge of quality control ! Seriously, i know they are cheaper then Marvel legends but when they make crap like this, i rather pay a few extra Bucks for a decent figure. Great video!

[@octobotimus]

Well that’s depressing. I was really excited to get a figure of this design, especially with a cloth cape.

[@muisverriet]

Not gonna watch The Flash in he theater cause i don't want to support Ezra Miller.

[@craigcharlesworth1538]

Miller is a millstone around WB's neck and they need to be replaced as the Flash ASAP. The upcoming reboot gives WB an opportunity to do this, but the movie's premise suggested Miller was the one DCEU actor likely to stay the same since the reboot occurs around their character.

The flash movie is the best DC movie out, yet you should watch it. The Ben Affleck batman doesn't look good, but id still play with it.

[@JerryGattz]

I will not pay money to see The Flash... Ezra doesn't deserve my hard earned money. I will watch it when it hits a streaming service, and I am only watching it to see Keaton's Batman make his return. Speaking of, the only figure I am getting from this movie line is the Keaton Batman. I would get this Afflleck Batman too if it weren't so awful looking. I could even deal with the crap colors (it's inaccurate to what is in the trailors) and even his odd body proportions. That head sculpt... I just can't. It looks nothing like Ben Afffleck. If anything, it reminds of the Handsome Squidward Meme. Part of me wonders if McFlarane has personal beef with Ben Affleck, or they couldn't acquire rights to his likeness this time around, or simply dumped all the effort into the Keaton Batman figure. Not happy about that scale though. Keaton should be the shortest one. At least NECA got that part right.

[@FriedSpicyChicken26]

@6:30 I love McFarlane Toys, but for the love of all things this is SO annoying. It's like that for most if not all figures, theu don't need all that range to lean back, they need it to lean forward! Just stop it McFarlane, stop, enough, cut it out...
