Hard to believe for old timers like me, but Tim Burton's Batman came out almost 23 years ago! At the time, it was quite a revelation. The film was arguably the first true successful comic book-to-movie adapation that wasn't aimed solely at children, earning both critical acclaim (including an Oscar) and box office gold.
Fast forward to 2012, and Hot Toys is ready to honor the movie with it's own MMS DX figure set! This one features the PERS movable eye system that allows users to change the angle at which the figure is looking for even more dynamic poses. While there aren't too many accessories with this particular DX, it does also include the interchangable face plate system that allows you to change the expression of the mouth from a more passive look, to a scowl, to a battle-damaged look with some blood trickle at the mouth corner.
Perhaps the most impressive feature IMO, is the cape. The cape has a couple of black rods that can be placed in the character's hands to allow some interesting poses of the cape unfurled and spread open, just as Batman did in the movie to intimidate his foes.
The set also includes a grappling hook attachment that fits onto the arm and fist, as well as some different hands and a heavy base.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this figure and would recommend it to fans of the film.

| Kind of looks stiff, but Keaton's suit was the same way in 1:1 anyways. |

| Nice job by HT of capturing the actor's likeness, even in the costume. |
