Michael Keaton Returns as Batman with Hot Toys Newest 1/6 Release

Hot Toys is taking collectors back to Gotham with a brand new and impressive set of 1/6 scale collectibles with Batman 1989.

The biggest thing to come out of this year's Super Bowl was the first trailer of the upcoming DCEU film, The Flash. This movie looks insane and will be the end of the DCEU as we know it kicking off the new James Gunn's fueled DC Studios. The Flash is all over the place with time travel and even the colliding of an alternate Batman universe. Hot Toys is getting collectors up to date by taking them back in time to Tim Burton's 1989 Batman with the one and only Michael Keaton. Batman is not only back for this new Flash film, but Hot Toys is giving collectors the Dark Knight they know and love from his glory days. 

This 12" tall Batman features 30 points of articulation and includes a brand new head sculpt with moveable eyes and swappable jaw parts. Hot Toys even included a poseable wired fabric cape, swappable hands, and a variety of weapons. Two versions will be offered, with the deluxe coming with an extra Gotham City Cathedral Gargoyle display base. These pieces are incredible and will come out in Q3 2024. Batman collectors can find both versions right here through Sideshow, and be on the lookout for the 1/6 scale Batmobile!
