Hot Toys has produced a number of Batman collectibles over the years, but this latest 1/6th scale figure of Michael Keaton's original - and, many would say, best - big-screen Caped Crusader from Tim Burton's 1989 movie might be their best yet.
Keaton appeared in two films as the iconic DC Comics vigilante, before reprising the role for 2023's The Flash. He was also going to appear in the Batgirl movie prior to Warner Bros. scrapping the project, and there were said to be plans in place for him to stay on as the DCEU's Dark Knight before James Gunn and Peter Safran took over as co-heads of the recently implemented DC Studios.
There's always a chance Keaton could return in an Elseworlds project down the line, but we'd say The Flash most likely marked his final time in the cape and cowl.
Check out some images of the figure below along with the official specs, and let us know if you plan on adding this to your collection in the comments section.
