There’s a Batman out there for every generation. For your dad, that may be Adam West. For others, it might be the rugged square-jawed version who set our TV screens ablaze with animated antics. For me, its always going to be Michael Keaton’s stealthy but firm approach to portrayal of the caped crusader. But I might change my mind soon, for this awesomely crazy version of the world’s greatest detective, who looks like he’s about to hand out the mother of all ass-whuppings to a team of Power Rangers.
Based on a design from famed artist Tetsuya Nomura, Sideshow describes this particular figure as “a radical interpretation of Batman, this collectible figure boasts a second set of arms that extend from the back to shapeshift between a closed “deactivated mode” and a wide-open “activated mode”, in which the figure seems to express emotion”.
The Batman Variant features detailed paintwork consisting of a rich black and deep red. The translucent visor and thick coat of glossy paint bring out the intensity of our favorite dark hero. With blades in his arm, an acceleration booster on his chest, and an arsenal of Batarangs stowed in his leg compartment, Batman is a sight to behold. Artist Tetsuya Nomura brings out impactful creativity in the presence that exudes from this collectible figure.
I think it looks badass, and needs to be used in a live action Batman Beyond movie. C’MON HOLLYWOOD! The Bat-Mecha measures in at 12″ H (304.8mm) x 12.5″ W (317.5mm) and x 7″ L (177.8mm). It’ll cost a Wayne Foundation sum of $249.95 when it releases in August. I might need to rob a Gotham bank to afford it then.

Now all you need to do is convince people that this is actually Batman when you show it to them.
Love the wings/cape and the robocop-style leg storage.

Yeah. You may call it Batman. But that certainly ain’t no Batman. Maybe the new CyberDemon from Doom. But Batman? Nope.

It is cool, but I’d prefer a Batman Beyond one

Except not Bruce Wayne 🙁
Batman without Kevin Conroy’s voice isn’t quite as cool

Tony Stark phoned, he says this is getting out of hand.

Tony Stark should rather worry about his movies being terrible compared to Bruce Wayne’s. ;P

That third one……

Still better than the second one! Panic attack Stark better than Drunk Stark

Drunk Stark is fun at parties
Captain JJ Browman
May 21, 2015 at 08:18
Well, to be fair. Both the third Batman and Iron Man were terrible. The Iron Man was just more terrible than the Batma.

How about that second one? Not even seen the 3rd one.
Captain JJ Browman
May 21, 2015 at 08:34
Second was also bad.
I usually just pretend that they only released one Iron Man movie. Life is better that way ;P

The third was worse than the second IMO
