The Batman Figure That Finally Gets It Right

[@ronin_1776]

I like Batman returns more. The Christmas setting is a vibe

[@DAMONX789]

the perfect Christmas movie i really love Batman Returns 🦇☃️❤

[@ClosedCasketCollectibles]

I hold Batman 1989 and Batman Returns in practically the same rank however Returns get a SLIGHT edge as it’s a Christmas movie and some of my most fond memories are watching Christmas Movies (this one included) around the Holidays cuddles up on a couch. Pre ordered this guy day one without hesitation!

what an insane wing span! posing him upside down must be insane

[@beyondcomicstv]

The original 89 hot toys released about 10 years ago is the absolute best most accurate looking of Michael Keaton as Batman

[@BXDRAGONX1]

I like both Batman Keaton movies! However I like the 89’ suit more! The muscle sculpt on chest and abs look better on that suit. But I feel the cowl on the second movie looked more sharp and he looked more angry on the brow! I’m glad they released Return as I passed the last time. Then regretted it! I wish they did the Penguin! I can’t wait for Jazzincs Catwoman!!!! What he has shared I’m excited!

[@jorgelizaso978]

I prefer the original one with Jack Nicholson's Joker all day. Batman Returns was awesome too, but the first one was amazing. I also prefer the 1989 suit more. Regarding the figure .. it's awesome that this one has a headsculpt, and that flying cape/wing, so I'm going for both.

[@CollectedWorx]

Batman Returns has always been my favorite Batman. It was my first and my son’s first Batman movie seen in a theater 🤌🏼

[@joefernandez9441]

Batman Returns was my first Batman movie as a kid, so I have a strong affection for it (Our OG Batman VHS was broken so didn’t watch it till later in life). Super stoked with this version, also my first Batman Hot Toy 👍. Thanks for the vid.

[@Alyas105]

I like both movies, but I love the first more. I have the original 89 dx09, and I 'm happy with it. I missed out on the returns og release, so definitly getting the deluxe returns set. It is my favorite batsuit.

[@Haveunerd]

I agree about the double joints. Idk why they aren’t implementing that new design from the Batfleck 2.0 where when u bend the knees and elbows it bends in a more natural way. Should be on ALL new figures.

[@johnm140]

1989 will always be the goat

[@showingYOUtheworld]

Thank you for your video Jedha and as always thumbs up 👍 👍 Regarding the figure, I personally have a ,,slightly" different opinion. The problem is that HotToys figures are sold in Europe at absolutely crazy prices - the highest compared to other countries around the world and there's no way I can spend €550-600+ on a figure without my standards being sky-high as well !!! The first problem for me is the rubber material: it just doesn't look good, but the main question is: will the figure hold this pose with bent arms without any damage and for how long ? The second problem, personally for me: For these prices we pay here I personally want HotToys to use bodies with the biomechanics of Phicen = to look natural, with proper proportions and symmetry ! Problem number 3: more metal accessories: these are collectible figures, not children's toys, so as a collector, with these high HotToys prices, I’m interested in the highest possible quality of materials, not cheap plastic like in €1 stores ! And long story short: I just don't see anything in this figure that justifies a price of €600+ 🤷‍♂️ And as always, everything here is just my personal opinion 🙂

[@greg2081]

For me I prefer the 1989 Batman version. The only thing that makes this figure better in my eyes is that it has a face sculpt.

[@Bane-kb9jl]

Im going to pick this one up. Missed the 89 one and kinda feel like i lucked out! Cant wait to pose him with my Batmobile. Gonna pick up that Catwoman from Jazzinc too!!! Great vid!!

Which batmobile do you have?

[@PlasticAddict]

Maaan to pick between batman 89 and Batman returns is diabolical...but one had Jack Joker and one had Michelle Pfeiffer...ight i like making tough decisions so im going to say 89 Returns...lol😂

[@willthebeast8002]

Don't know what a thin piece of leather costs, but we need to have a leather cape eventually.

[@Christian-xc9bh]

89 figure ruined by the dimpled moon crater suit skin

[@markdaire4708]

Interesting to see how that extended batwing piece is connected. Would be cool to be able to use it on the other Keaton figures

[@Batman-ky9wo]

Does anyone know if the Bruce Wayne headsculpt can be separated from the ripped cowl? This way it can be used with a suit.

[@SharkForge29]

1989 Batman was infinitely better of a movie for me... but you're right... Michelle Pfeiffer. That's a very valid argument haha. I'm about to pre-order this one! Still trying to get my hands on a DX09 89 batman as well.

[@samuelwwr1]

Kim bassinger ain’t no sneeze either

[@SharkForge29]

@@samuelwwr1 An absolute fact as well!

[@JedhaPatrol]

true

[@brandofigure]

I would’ve kept ‘89 if they didn’t add the stupid texture all over it and it didn’t fit well with the cape. I’m sad I had to sell it so fast. Really like the cowl sculpt, but it got ruined by several things. Batman Returns is a lot better. It’s clean and faceplates look good, and it has better Keaton likeness.

[@ddot196]

I really wanted to get the 89 Batman but that textured suit just looks awful so I passed it. Glad I waited because that Batman Returns with head sculpt looks fantastic. That suit is how the 89 batman should have looked imo, and idc if people say "it's screen accurate". I don't remember watching that movie and seeing that suit have a textured look to it.

[@gruppenfuhrer45]

Love it, just dont like the elbows either

[@jerrycoblentz6912]

The Batman Returns

[@L121589]

i prefer the batman returns suit and movie

[@dangiambrone7350]

I prefer the more creature-like, intimidating look of the 89 suit, the same goes for the "Begins" suit over the ""TDK" suit. That said, this is a better 2.0 than the 89 effort, even if the figure itself - aside from the new paint apps (less tanned) and cape - looks barely any different to the 1.0. It's all about that new Keaton sculpt for me. The diorama isn't bad either.

[@halfvader8015]

I dunno man. The first movie's suit did have that sort of texture but nowhere near that degree. And I much prefer that design, much more gothic as per the film. That and Dune really changed the game from the Supes "disco" suit. But that texture, and I have the first version. And another for the Jazzinc bmobile when it gets here! This one I get it it matches the batmobile (or the armadillo plating at least) and very obvious knight armour, but eh so boring. But that damn headsculpt is so amazing. Speaking of which, can we ever get some props for the bloody artists please. Is this a Yulli Choi headsculpt? Whoever did it it's amazing and they're nearly never credited. I don't wanna spend all that cash (Joost cleaned me out!) just for the HS, but maaaannnn...

[@skomek]

it's been a while not purchasing any hot toys, but i remember my dx09 articulation joint becoming loose, hot toys need to improve its joint with strong ratchet to sustain it posebility

[@stevea8099]

Pass, prefer the look of the Batman 89 v2.0

[@denirogosic6545]

Looks awesome 👍

[@pedrorosario1778]

Uhh- one had Kim Basinger one didn't! Cmon Jack Nicholson stole the show.

[@steve-o-reno]

The suit material and the way it bunches up kills it for me and why I have to pass. This will only look good in a museum pose unfortunately. They should have tried that surgical silicone or just a different material all together to have a natural looking bend.

[@frankatkins4969]

It looks great, but it’ll tear and flake just like all hot toys with leather and if you leave the arms like that, it’ll crack in the middle. It’s not worth it.

[@dmldml9260]

Watched the movie again and the cowl is not accurate. The part for the mouthplate should be a bit wider by the jaw and rounder

[@punisherxs6654]

Oh my those arms are terrible when the arms are bent, HotToys need to fix that for the price they are charging but because they are lazy they will just leave it that way.

[@diecastmodelsnbeyond6354]

I missed on the first realise, so this one is already pre ordered. Just hope that HT won't mess up the likeness on this one.

[@marcakins3373]

I preordered The Flash Batman (with no regrets) but if i didn’t this would be my first Batman…I love this look and I honestly hope one day HT will sell individual head sculpts in the future

[@graysonstevens5710]

I ordered the 89 Batman deluxe 2.0 and I just preordered the Batman returns. I like having both

[@Badvision]

Beautiful! Prefer 1989, but love both movies.

[@deathlesswitchking]

This is one of those cases that I should've waited longer. I bought the Flash version and I feel that the Returns Batman is still the best suit Keaton Batman to pick. Now I am in a dilemma to whether get this or the T-800 2.0 as I only have one for my wallet. I'd probably sell the Flash version once I get it.

[@annstevens6223]

I really love Returns, but I like 89 more since it’s the OG. I have dx09, the new 2.0 with the dimply suit, and the first Returns release from a few years ago. I also have the Mars toys Mr Wayne, so I think I’m good. There comes a time you realize you can’t buy everything.

[@dylanrinker6831]

Not really.
