So I bought a Batman specifically a Michael Keaton inspired Batman by Mattel. I say inspired because it's not based on Michael Keaton instead it's based on the figure by ToyBiz.
Do I need to explain who is Batman? Rich guy dead parents, dresses up like a bat, beats up mentally ill people for kicks...
He can kick and hold the pose. |
Articulation
This Batman has some confusing articulation. He has Hasbro elbows but for some reason they don't swivel side to side. his head a ridiculous range of articulation especially since the version of Batman it's based on could barely move his head. The legs have a Marvel Legends level range of articulation.

Paint and sculpt
from the neck down he's amazing the head is the one part I do have a huge issue with. It replicates the toy Biz figure a bit too well. The body is not accurate to the movie costume Just like the 1989 toy Biz figure, but it works well.
Think of it like a comic book version of the movie costume.
4.5

Batman: Alfred! Where's my Diet Coke? Alfred: I'm afraid, we ran out... Batman: I hope you didn't drink my last Diet Coke. Alfred: I wouldn't dare, sir! Batman: Good, because I smeared the can's rim with tissue infected with McGregor's disease! |
Overall
Batsy gets a 3.83 as his final score. It's not bad but it could have been better. at least it's not a Clooney bats. I did not mention the cloth cape in the review because first I hate cloth capes. second this cloth cape is crappy and and would have knocked a lot of points from the score... due to my hatred of cloth capes.
