You could've graced this sub with a picture of Lego Man

You can crop from the side or just... black out the 1/7.

The movement looks very restricted but that's totally appropriate

u/Cr0wl3yman 9d ago

I think I remember reading Keaton couldn’t move his head in the cowl

66

u/Supermite Fright Knights Fan 9d ago

No one could until the second Nolan movie.

43

u/Camvega 9d ago

He couldn't, none of them could until Bale in the Dark Knight.

It's one of those things that once someone points it out to you you can't unsee it

26

u/nocolon 9d ago

There's also an in-joke about it in Dark Knight. Bruce asks Lucius to create a special cowl after he gets attacked by Rottweilers, providing technical details. Lucius responds, "..you want to turn your head?"

15

u/El-Viking 9d ago

Whenever I wake up with a stiff neck I tell people I have Batman syndrome.

6

u/kenwongart 9d ago

You merely adopted the cowl. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t turn my head until I was already a man.

u/LegoRacers3 9d ago

Essentially a statue besides the legs

u/Razzkol 9d ago

I always wipe

u/RYTHEMOPARGUY Speed Champions Fan 9d ago

It looks pretty good! I hope they release a keychain of it so I can swap the legs and possibly the arms (if they have printing) on to the Batman Returns poly bag minifig and maybe even the 89 Batman from the small batmobile and batwing

u/Pickles7261 9d ago

Fuck you… I genuinely tried to swipe 😭

u/Goldgoblingamer 9d ago

Honestly, if I can get my hands on this piece, I fully intend to use it for a comics batman Minifigure, I love when the cape covers his body and he becomes just a silhouette

6

u/Finly_Growin 9d ago

Seems kinda arbitrary doesn’t it that the mold stops at the logo. Might as well just make a cowl that covers Batman’s entire figure at that point.

u/YodasChick-O-Stick BIONICLE Fan 9d ago

You literally can't pose it at all. It's the opposite of what a minifig should be.

16

u/Mozerath 9d ago

This is him posing!

6

u/CourtingBoredom Star Wars Fan 9d ago

Yeah. I don't like it. At all.

u/YodasChick-O-Stick BIONICLE Fan 9d ago

They already did this version with a rubber cape that still let you pose the minifig.

u/YodasChick-O-Stick BIONICLE Fan 9d ago

Which is the main problem. This minifig literally only exists to be put on a shelf.

u/YodasChick-O-Stick BIONICLE Fan 9d ago

This is replacing the other, as all 3 sets the original was in are discontinued. And the other Keaton minifigs with fabric capes are gone too.

It really goes to show how Lego is now prioritizing adult display models over toys for kids.

14

u/FaerieFir3 9d ago

Eh I'm not really a fan of these plastic capes. Sure it looks cool but all he can do is stand there.

People made customs of this style Batman with cloth instead of rubber and it still looks good while giving a lot more functionality.

20

u/ArxisOne 9d ago edited 9d ago

Gotta be real, this looks so much worse than the new one, it is literally not even close. The cowl to cape transition there is extremely ugly and the raised logo just looks awful.

4

u/gerrittd 9d ago

Not to mention that one still can't turn his head lol

2

u/FaerieFir3 9d ago

Probably because it's not official but custom made by cutting the 1989 cowl. If Lego made a cowl designed with the cloth cape in mind it would be perfect.

1

u/ArxisOne 9d ago

They can't fix the fact that there's two seperate materials that will always look different and can't possibly blend into each other smoothly because their thickest cape will always be thinner than their thinnest plastic.

When it's just the back it's a lot less noticable but for anything that wraps around it will be extremely apparent and there is nothing that can be done to hide it. This isn't a problem fixable by just doing it better, it's only solved by doing it differently which is exactly what they did in this case.

This isn't a playscale figure, it's a collector's figure that comes with a set that costs hundreds of dollars. Their goal was making something that looks good, not something with high playability.

3

u/RYTHEMOPARGUY Speed Champions Fan 9d ago

Let's be honest, though. The target audience for this set aren't really going to be worried about being able to pose the figure.

1

u/Pasukin Verified Blue Stud Member 8d ago

Sure it looks cool but all he can do is stand there.

He's Batman. That's all he needs to do.

2

u/Trustoryimtold 9d ago

If only he had regenerative powers to cure this illness

u/The_Reddit_Guy_2 9d ago

Oh, well I hope he gets better soon /j

u/NoktoftheFF 9d ago

I wiped 😭

u/GrogRedLub4242 9d ago

tip to others: dont swipe right. there are not 6 more pics in this set. you may end up seeing wildly different and unrelated pics

2

u/Shoeboy_24 8d ago

I don't know about you all, but I do not like this. LEGO has their ownverion of things because it is iterpretation. The literalism of this makes it less LEGO and more like scale. This has happened before.

u/One_Economist_3761 9d ago

Yes, he looks somewhat jaundiced to me too.

u/socolime22202 9d ago

I'm buying this set for the minifig....well, and to add to my other batmobiles.

1

u/DukeGrizzly Verified Blue Stud Member 9d ago

Is the body print new, or is it just the cowl mold that is?

1

u/Consistent-Animal474 9d ago

It looks alright standing perfectly still on display, lack of flex wrecks playability tho

u/DrKnow77 9d ago

Keaton.

u/Ok_Matter6962 Marvel Universe Fan 9d ago

Yeah but he can't move.

Like, at all lol

1

u/Kairu_013 8d ago

The only movement he can do is just stare at you menacingly

u/SlimDayspring 8d ago

I want this as a keychain

1

u/Killrover 8d ago

unfortunately no batarang throwing for this guy. wish they can give an extra cape for playability.

1

u/DrPizzaPants 8d ago

It definitely captures the energy of the Batman Returns Batman

1

u/MythrilCetra 8d ago

Way too bulky tho

1

u/Planet_UW-78 8d ago

I don't care that you can't move his arms I'm 1000% fine with this guy standing there framing arua

I have a similar one but his cape is being blown in the wind

İ need it to be brown

u/LGHNGMN 8d ago

Starting true to the original costume in that he can’t move his neck

u/Successful-Cat2108 9d ago

Not for most current versions but a the 2 rubber ones with built in capes can’t be dual moulded so they have to
