New hot Toys Figure Captures Controversial Batman Suit From The Flash
A new, limited-edition collectible figure from Hot Toys is drawing attention for its depiction of Michael Keaton‘s batman in a blue and gray suit-a look briefly glimpsed in the 2023 film The Flash, but not actually worn during the movie’s primary action sequences. The figure, available for pre-order now at Sideshow Collectibles, is sparking discussion among fans due to the suit’s appearance in the film and the somewhat unsettling nature of the figure’s interchangeable facial expressions.
The figure’s existence stems from a moment in The Flash where Barry Allen discovers an armory filled with various Batman suits, including the classic blue and grey design. While Keaton’s Batman doesn’t utilize this suit in the film’s narrative, its inclusion has provided Hot Toys with an possibility to create an “alternate universe” collectible. This figure caters to fans who enjoyed Keaton’s return to the role and appreciate unique, rarely-seen iterations of iconic characters. The limited run of 1,500 pieces suggests a high demand and potential for quick sell-out, despite mixed reactions to the film itself and the figure’s prototype appearance.
Hot toys’ new Batman figure features the blue and grey suit seen in the Flash‘s armory scene. The collectible includes multiple interchangeable hands and, notably, several interchangeable mouths, some of which have been described as “terrifying” and “haunting” by observers. The company notes that all images released are of prototypes, meaning the final product may differ slightly.
The figure is priced at $285 and is currently available for pre-order at sideshow Collectibles. Fans who enjoyed Keaton’s reprisal of Batman in the Flash-or those who collect alternate universe figures-may find this a unique way to commemorate the event.
