Standing 6.3 inches tall, has a fabric cape, a set of interchangeable hands w/ batarangs and grappling gun animations, and of course multiple heads including an unmasked Bruce Wayne head, this beautiful comic book accurate action figure based on the 2002 storyline of the same name that had many of The Dark Knight's enemies systematically attacking him and his allies, while a romance bloomed between Bats and Catwoman and the true mastermind was the introduction of a new bandaged covered villain named "Hush". The comic has seen multiple printings and releases through the years after its initial 12 issue run from Batman #608-619, and will see an animated film adaptation later this year!

Spider-Man: Far From Home: Check out the Stealth Suit Spidey RealD 3D Poster and Hot Toys figure!

It's going to be an AMAZING start to a new month when July rolls along next week, as Tom Holland reprises his role as Peter Parker/ Spider-Man and is set to end "Phase Three" of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in a globe-trotting way with "Spider-Man: Far From Home" - Marvel Studios' 23rd entry in the MCU and the "epilogue" of the three phases that collect "The Infinity Saga".

Above is a poster from Real D 3D spotlighting Peter wearing one of his newer outfits in the movie - the Stealth Suit provided to him by Nick Fury! This all-black clad slick outfit is meant to highlight Spidey's sneaky side, and is both a nod to his "Black Suit" (which celebrates 35 years this year) as well as the alternate Spider-Verse character "Spider-Man Noir" - who wears a similar outfit but with a hat and trenchcoat.

Meanwhile, Hot Toys has released previews and pre-order listings for their upcoming 1/6th Scale "Stealth Suit Spider-Man" from Spider-Man: Far From Home collectible figure! You check out more preview pictures at the full album at Hot Toys Facebook page!

ICYMI: Batman gets a Hollywood Walk of Fame Star this 2020

Looks like a certain Caped Crusader is going to get even more star power added to his 80th Anniversary celebration, as Variety reports that DC Comics' own flagship superhero Batman will be among those inducted to Hollywood's prestigious Walk of Fame for Class 2020 - joining the likes of Spike Lee, Julia Roberts, Chris Hemsworth, and Octavia Spencer!

Turning 80 this year following his first appearance in Detective Comics #27 in May 1939, Batman has become a legend and symbol beyond his origins and heroic exploits in comics. The character has appeared in several other mediums - notably in the 60's live action TV Series with Adam West as the titular character, to the famed "Batman: The Animated Series" voiced by Kevin Conroy, and of course the multiple feature films like Tim Burton's Batman (1989) and Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight Trilogy, where big profile stars like Michael Keaton, Christian Bale, and Ben Affleck have donned the cape and cowl of Gotham City's Dark Knight vigilante. Him getting the Hollywood Walk of Fame Star is a long overdue honor that fans of the Caped Crusader will be happy to witness happen next year!

Tim Burton's Batman was released 30 years old today

It's been a while since I blogged here... But no perfect time to make a return like TODAY when one of the greatest movies in popculture, comic book, and cinema history was officially released in theaters this day.

In June 23, 1989, Warner Bros. released "Batman" - their first live-action cinematic foray into the Batman movies franchise based on the DC Comics superhero of the same name. Directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton in the titular role as Bruce Wayne/ Batman, this masterpiece ushered in one of the definitive interpretations of the Caped Crusader as we know him - a dark and brooding vigilante who dons a Bat costume and fights criminals at night in the streets and rooftops of his home turf Gotham City. Opposing him is the talented Jack Nicholson as gangster Jack Napier - who turns into the freakish and insane Clown Prince of Crime known as The Joker after a battle leaves him scarred and his entire body completely bleached in white after falling in a vat of chemicals. Supporting performances by Kim Basinger as Vicky Vale, Michael Gough as Alfred, and Pat Hingle as Commissioner Gordon only brought more conviction and energy into this production - and the rest is film history.

Batman (1989) Official Trailer #1 - Tim Burton Superhero Movie Batman 1989 is a timeless classic that exists because of the direction comic book stories such as "Batman: The Dark Knight Returns" and "Batman: The Killing Joke" did to bring the character back to his darker roots. This film would serve as the template for future Batfilms - with an immediate sequel following in 1992 with "Batman Returns" by Burton, then two more not so stellar follow-ups in "Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin" years later by Joel Schumacher. It was not until 2005 when The Bat would see another triumph in the form of "Batman Begins" by director Christopher Nolan - leading to a renaissance of the character because of that reboot and its sequels that make up the equally legendary set called "The Dark Knight Trilogy".

That being said, this is a celebration of Burton's film and even after 30 years - it still holds up as one of the DEFINITIVE Batman works. From the direction and impressive score by Danny Elfman to the perfect casting and even Prince's soundtrack that included the "BatDance", this is a movie fans must watch. HAPPY 30 YEARS TO "BATMAN" and onward as we continue celebrating the Caped Crusader's 80th Anniversary this year!

Hot Toys unveils Life-Sized "Nano Gauntlet" from Avengers: Endgame
