OH MAN, THIS NEW BATMAN TOY IS COMPLETE INSANE!! Check out these amazing photos just released from HOT TOYS. This will be their next BATMAN Figure. It's Hot Toys's New BATMAN BEGINS Batman/ Bruce Wayne Figure which will be a 2011 Toy Fairs Exclusive. The face sculpt is cc-crazy! I mean, it looks EXACTLY like Christian Bale. It also comes with a few different facial mouth-expressions for the Batman Cowl Head. Not sure of an exact release date just yet but as soon as we know, we'll let you know. Plus, I'm just gonna say that you know it will be very expensive, ha!
I'm feeling sort of lazy this morning so I'm just gonna post all these funny pictures & humor photos that are related to Batman, enjoy! ( Thanks to everybody who mailed them in, you guys ROCK! )
Here's a totally great piece of animation. In fact, it's genius! It's a parody of the opening credits sequence from the 1966 BATMAN TV Show, except all the characters have been replaced with Actors from THE DARK KNIGHT movie: Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Heath Ledger, Michael Caine, Aaron Eckhart, etc... it even has the Tumbler-Style Batmobile at the end, replacing the 1966 Car!
The big piece of Batman News over the weekend was C2E2 where Kevin Conroy sort of kinda dissed Christian Bale's Batman Voice ! Yeah, at the Chicago Comic Book Convention event there was a panel of animation voice actors where somebody asked Kevin Conroy ( Batman: The Animated Series TV Cartoon & Batman: Arkham Asylum Video Game ) what he thought about Bale's version of Batman...check it out!!
Here are some very cool videos showing some of the functions of the BATMAN DX 02 Figure by HOT TOYS. Of course it's the Christian Bale version from THE DARK KNIGHT movie. The doll has a lot of new technologies that are very clever. The 1st video is a demonstration of the Hot Toys-invented PERS ( Parallel Eyeball Rolling System ) function. Basically, the eyeballs move around in his head in a more realistic fashion. It's kinda creepy, but it also makes the figure look really awesome!
The next video shows off what I call the "Change-a-Face" feature. He has Interchangeable "Face Parts" that have different mouths. I guess you can make him happy or angry, ha ha!
Then, there's the "Sonar Eye Light-Up" feature...very cool! You replace an item inside his head that replicates the special "Sonar Cowl" he wore in one part of the movie. The eyes light-up & everything!
OK, whew! here's the final video & it shows how the "Transformable Gun" works. It's just like the movie where it was all compact & then it would transform into that weapon that shot "sticky bomb" charges on that building in Hong Kong. I think they went a little too far with this, ha ha, but it is great that HOT TOYS cares about ALL the small details. They make some really amazing collectible figures!!
Here's a nice mash-up parody video combining scenes from both The Dark Knight and the Blade movies with Christian Bale & Wesley Snipes. I gotta admit that the editing job on this is very decent. As both a Batman & Blade Vampire Fan it's just kinda cool, & even pretty funny, check it out!
The big news right now is that "Celebrity Authentics", a company that hires big-name actors & movie stars to sign photos & movie posters, finally got 2 new Batman Actors in their stable of celebrity autograph signers. They now have Christian Bale & Michael Keaton! Both of these actors are hard to get signatures from but now you can buy autographed items from them through the company. In the past they have also worked with other Batman Stars: Adam West, Burt Ward, Frank Gorshin, Burgess Meredith, Mark Hamill, Val Kilmer, & others. They also work with John Travolta, Tobey McGuire, Robert Downey Jr, Eric Bana, William Shatner, Leonard Nemoy, etc... You can check out their website by clicking HERE!
